sensible investing is about knowing what you are investing in
if you dont have time to learn. then stay away if you dont know the industry

but dont fear learning something new
if your into IT. you do not have to stick with that industry for the rest of your life
be confident to learn new things. just be confident you have learned enough to understand it before investing

some IT nerds know programming. but have no clue about shares, assets, investing. but think just because they know programming it will get them huge riches in bitcoin.
many have lost alot this way.

its not to say nerds should not trade bitcoin. its just to say learn more about it beyond your coding speciality. learn about assets, trading and risk management
8922  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin activity now uses more energy than all of Argentina on: February 27, 2021, 01:35:20 AM
an s19 is 95terrahash at 3.25kw an hour
bitcoin hashrate is 165,000,000terrahash
thats 1,736,842 asics
which is 5,644,736kw an hour

argentina households on average use 1.2kw an hour(a tv, light, frigefreezer, aircon combined exceed1.2)
so thats about 4.7million houses..
average argentina house uses 29kw a day=1.2kwh


so unless argentina has only 4.7 houses. and no additional businesses, factories, street lights..
then badecker and his sources have got the numbers wrong

yep bitcoin uses FAR LESS than argentinas electric consumption.
yep even far less than just the domestic residential use

badecker is known to take out dated articles. where those articles have already been debunked by not doing their own research thoroughly

so ill say it again. bitcoin uses far far less then argentinas residential electric and far far far far far less than total electric

1. Time for the first completed block to be propagated from the miner that "solved" it, to the pool that miner was participating in, to the pool that will solve the second block, to the miner that will solve that second block.
2. Differences in clock time between the two pools that build the two blocks.
3. Time for the second pool to verify the first block, and then build the second block.
4. Any alterations made to the timestamp in the process of solving the second block.

not quite.
pools create the block and the datahash of the block. they only send the hash to the miners and miners only send a hash back that represents the solution with the correct amount of leadings zeros
ASICS do no store block data. they only receive. process and send hashes. nothing more

here is where the real efficiences are in empty blocking.. first lets show what takes the time.
1. most pools wait for opponents solved block to then confirm that block.
2. remove those confirmed tx from the mempool to know whats leftl in mempool is unconfirmed tx
3. grab transactions from mempool to ensure their new attempt only has unconfirmed transactions added.

by doing 'empty block' pools can skip all 3 steps and just make a block using just the opponents hash without even bothering to confirm the block or the tx content
this can save minutes.

opposing pools do treat blocks as valid based on fastest first to be valid gets kept. but this is based on received time into the node not timestamp time of the block.
if timestamp was even a thing. pools would just put a time stamp 20minutes earlier each time and win. even if it took them 22 minutes to complete

To top it all off, a company known as BiteLabs appears to be offering the public a way to eat celebrities by harvesting cells from those celebrities’ bodies, then cloning / culturing those cells in an artificial meat reactor, producing “artisanal salami” that you can buy and consume in your kitchen. Their slogan? “Eat celebrity meat.” (Not even joking.)

it did not have the tech.  it said near future idea and 'imagine'..
also the site and social media abandoned that site in 2014 after just 3 months of playing their joke
try to do research

The world has gone mad.

In Wenatchee, Washington, a high school has placed band students inside suffocating cocoons where they can’t see each other or socialize, but they still have to play their band instruments. This torture
suffocating? - nope a tent is not suffocating. please try go camping once in your life
cacoon? - nope. a sleeping bag would be a cacoon. not a tent
cants see? - nope. they can see fine.
cant socialise? - nope. they can hear each other. its not a lead shielded box


yes seems a weird way to get kids back into music rooms to practice.. but its not as extreme as your cult play it.
8926  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 27, 2021, 12:21:12 AM
^^^ Got any proof that Covid was the trigger? Could have been influenza, or pneumonia. Since the CDC lumped them all together, got any proof?

your first nonsense was that doctors just put covid on a death certificate.
it took you 11 month to realise that death certificates are filled with many items including the list of symptoms that lead to their death.
the covid deaths do not list gunshots. fights,knifewounds diabetic amputations or due to other causes.. because non covid deaths are deaths due to other causes
they do however list the symptoms and attributes and co-morbidity details that cause the covid illness to worsen

people with influenza due to other causes are not listed on that list. just like gunshots and knifewounds and poisons and any other dang thing unrelated to covid. because doctors actually run tests scans, diagnose. they dont just have 2 options they randomly pick.they actually diagnose

you really have to try to learn things and not displaying yourself for 11 months as proof of how ignorant you are. we got that display 11 month ago. no need to repeat it
emphasis: stop wasting 11 months of your own time trying to prove your ignorant.
you have had 11 months to try learning. dont waste any more time on your own ignorance
8927  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Do you think COVID19 is a scam? on: February 26, 2021, 06:45:49 PM
Since it was the CDC that said that the 94% died of comorbidities,

people have diabetes for decades. but having covid and diabetes makes the covid trigger far worse.
if they didnt have covid that week they would have survived. even while still having diabetes
the covid caused their mortality, it was complicated by their diabetes which made it easier for them to die from covid.

the CDC says 6% of people died without other issues.. this proves that covid doesnt just kill people already with illnesses but also some without any underlying issues aswell
it proves that getting covid while already having underlying issues is more fatal

there are other things. like people with dementia dont follow social restrictions because they cannot remember. so they get higher doses of virus.. then when needing nasal canular air support they get confused and pull off the canular and try moving around while not being oxygenated enough to have the energy. this wears them out. so its still not demenia that killed them. its the covid that killed them with complications due to dementia. again if they just had dementia and not covid. they would have lived.

its not stating they died due to other issues.
there is no listing of diabetic leg amputation. no listing of diabetic cataracts being the cause. because they covid deaths are not listing people that died due to diabetic causes. because they didnt die due to that.
emphasis. no one having a diabetic leg amputation that then died of blood loss will be on the covid list
emphasis. no one with dementia that commits suicide will be on the covid list
its the covid symptoms exacerbated by their underlying issue.
EG if covid causes lung blockages via pneumonia fluid.
then even if it lists things like respiratory failure, hypoxia or heart failure. you have to look at the cause that triggered it within the last month.
doctors do ask the question would they have lived if they didnt have covid
pneumonis and hypoxia and respiratory failure and finally heart failure. dont happen by magic
8928  Other / Serious discussion / Re: Will the bitcoin ecosys benefit of a fully regulated and public Coinbase? on: February 26, 2021, 02:01:18 AM
without going into the facepalms of people buying fiat shares of a company rather than an underlying asset it manages.

coinbase is already regulated. but hopefully going public can actually make connecting a coinbase account to a customers bank account more friendly as it seems more legit being on the public listings. which would be a plus.
coinbase would then be less likely to just do a 'we gotz hackz'd' like previous exchanges. another plus

but apart from that. i think it will just be a 'famous for 5 minutes' media speculation at IPO day
8929  Other / Serious discussion / Re: How do you predict the market? on: February 26, 2021, 01:35:12 AM
your endless thinking about 'btc prices grow indefinitely' makes me think your only thinking about ATH


Not about ATH, am I just saying that your system works while the price goes up in the long term. That has been the case until now, but that does not mean it will be like that forever.

when i trade i make profit on the dips
ill emphasise something.

BUY LOW sell at profit

your never going to guess 'the high' so be smart and stop waiting for the price to go up high.
just buy low and sell at profit and you will always profit

in the other topic i explained just one example using your numbers at how i profit in a bear. yep your numbers of a 1000->300 market shows i gained 3x coins instead of just buying all in at 1000
8930  Other / Politics & Society / Re: Antiwork: It takes a lot of work to create no work. on: February 26, 2021, 01:10:36 AM
the issue with government subsidised pay is this.

say you earn $300 a week for 40 hours at $7.50 and a government scheme is invented where they will subsidise your pay $1:$1 if your hours went down.
you take the offer and work 30 hours and get paid $225 from work and $75 from UBI
meaning you still get $300

however if your boss asks you to work over time. your physical labour is then not compensated.
your in a life style of 30hours for $300 now. but if you work an extra 5 hours. your boss pays you $37.50 but your UBI goes down by $37.50.so you ended up working an extra 5 hours. plus the extra cost of travel to work/laundry for work. but you have not earned an extra penny for them 5 hours.

UBI does not help people. it helps businesses reduce its labour costs

in the UK there is a social benefit scheme where the very day you get a job your benefits stop meaning you have to find money to cover all your costs of getting to work and stretch it until your work finally puts you on their pay roll and pays your wage.
they have another benefit for those that are disabled. where their benefit decreases by 0.60 for every 1. meaning if you work 10 hours at 7.5. your benefit decreases so that you are only 45 better off not 75 better off
where this extra 45 is then taken into consideration to deduct other schemes like local government(council) tax discounts due to increased earnings.
yep earning another 45 then become 36 due to paying more council tax
you also have to pay national insurance
then there is the cost of getting to work which can be 5 a day. so a 2 day shift of 5 hours each is 10. meaning its now 26 extra.

would you go to work for 10 hours and after all bills and taxes and expenses related to that work increase. only to have 26 extra to your name

so how about if the ubi was 1:1 and you get nothing extra. but then end up spending more just to work overtime


this makes people not want to find jobs for:
<16 hours (cost-profit balance makes them only truly better off at about 17hours+ if in uk disability .60:1)
or never profitable for any hours in a 1:1 ubi(work 0 hours=$300 work 40 hours=$300)
8931  Other / Archival / Re: Invasion of U.S. by foreigners. on: February 26, 2021, 12:57:03 AM
The problem is that we, the US, are being invaded by those “foreigners” that do not hold the libertarian principles of our founding fathers, but rather the principles of selfishness and “free stuff”...

They will gladly vote away our rights and free markets for a few more food stamps and more visas for their relatives..

Exactly what “they” want, and this is why us western countries are being flooded with foreigners..
So “they” can take control of us..

remember trump got his mother inlaw in via 'more visa'
trump also used 'free market' tarrifs.. which meant US bitcoin miners had to pay more to get an asic

funny part is libertarian ideals are no borders no rules.. yet 'build a wall' border and restrict visa's seem like borders and rules to me.. so not very libertarian is it

the statue of liberty does not read 'f*ck off back to your own country'
even the founding fathers talked about liberty

$16.50 where fed subsidies 50% of difference

so someone on $10 would get $3.25 from the government UBI....
... so still on $13.25 overall once the cheque clears. still not $15 and still not $16.50

i can also see some people already on $15 not getting a pay rise for a few years because government gives them a $0.75(5%) pay rise instead.
i can see some companies already paying people $15 laying those people off or demoting them down to $13.50 so that government fill in the missing $1.50 to bring them up to 'value' of other workers in the sector, thus
saving companies 10% in labour costs.

though im for taxes being used for people in need. doing it to subsidise businesses is the same as letting businesses get away with not paying taxes.

Hawley min wage proposal - https://www.axios.com/hawley-minimum-wage-tax-credits-2087ac1e-a007-4095-b2b8-c0aa6d202dc2.html - probably going to make a thread about this.

hawley plan
1. anyone working for a billion dollar revenue company to get $15min wage from corporation
2. those working for 'cheaper' companies will be subsidised by a Universal Basic Income funded by government

biden plan
1. raise minimum wage to $15 for anyone working in the US. .. by 2025

bidens plan seems empty as its not a campaign promise for this presidency but a promise for the next presidency.
hawleys plan is to get things started sooner. but at the cost of losing the trust of the anti-gov supporters(trumpettes) that hate paying taxes/having taxes to support people
im guessing he is trying to appease the socialist democrats onto his side while pushing out the trumpette folk that supported trump ideals(bait and switch)

the game is not to split the republicans. because that 47% will drop.
the game is to have subgroups of different pledges that appeases different people for different reasons all under the umbrella voting group of republican

EG trump managed to convince the capitalist group and the libertarian group and the socialist group, the closed up patriotic group and the open international free market group that he will do their bidding in 2016

he lost 4 years later because he shifted to only care about the capitalist patriots. and causing chaos within the other groups during those 4 years
trump only promised to help the lower level citizens if they vote him in again.. which is why badecker and other republican nuts think trump should get in to finally get something in their favour.

trump breaks his promises. so just get over the fact that trump promised something if he got in again. it would never have happened. thats not his game. so give someone else a chance.

On the other hand, COVID is a new variant that usually needs years of research before vaccines be made,
Before vaccine can be made virus must exist, all what is available is computer generated junk injected into ignorant participants with unknow consequence or long term effects.

You don't have to be Einstein to be aware that the human immune system knows more about viruses than any modern doctors, and it is 100% effective in healthy people.

just saying 'don't have to be einstein' followed by blab. does not make the blab true

1. the immune system knows alot about pre-existing pathogen it had come into contact with before
2. the immune system can and does over react and under react even in healthy people
3. the immune system is only called in when cells send a signal that they have been attacked.
4.the immune system is not smart. on first signal of a new pathogen all they know is to try. they dont yet know how. they have to learn
4. your definition of healthy is not the common definition most people know
5. about ~80% of peoples immune system does not know how to fight a pathogen with a certain spike identifier. the only way to learn is to get infected. there are 2 options:
    a. get the replicating virus that kills cells in the lungs - dangerous
    b. get a vaccine in the arm that doesnt replicate - safer
6. yes healthier younger people can respond to signals faster. and produce more antibodies faster, meaning they can fight the pathogen faster. but a healthy 70yo is not as quick or productive as a less than healthy 10yo
and a healthy 94yo is even less productive and quick
7.imagine it this way. immunocells trained to fight old pathogens are like 10year vetaren marines. able to go on mission attack old pathogens quick and many squads of them.
but a new pathogen. well thats fresh recruits that have not even gone through 'hell week' they have alot to learn about new battle strategy. it takes longer to recruit new troops and train them

what your not realising is you are doing a badecker
last year he was crying that golf courses were closed. not realising golf courses in his state were open.
he was adamant for weeks that his state was closed off and the only place to play golf was sweden(different country)

reality is. if you and him just get out of your basement and actually LOOK. you will see you can go to your store/golf course

israel actually has opened up its shopping mall for EVERYONE
israel actually has opened up non-essential stores too, for EVERYONE

israel actually has a restriction rule about high occupation venues where social distancing is difficult
eg sport stadiums, cinema's, airplanes

where the rule is:
test negative for covid in last 48hours
recovered from covid prior and now negative
(2 category above in common sense means only covid positive are banned. and yes they should be banned while sick)
and the third category. those being vaccinated

it has nothing to do with stopping healthy people due to them not being vaccinated. its about those with covid should stay home

just look at your link more carefully
there is a part that has a link you can click
requirement of entry
here is what it says.. (if you dared to read your own link reference fully
Quote
The cabinet approved on Friday a plan to reopen some schools, street shops, malls and open-air markets starting Sunday, as part of a series of measures to relax coronavirus restrictions that have been in effect during Israel's third nationwide lockdown.

The plan includes separate regulations for places that will open to the general public, including shops, museums and libraries,
and those that will operate under the so-called Green Pass regulations, opening their doors only to people who have recovered from COVID or received both vaccine doses against it.

Green Pass venues include houses of worship, cultural events, gyms, hotels and swimming pools

the regulations for the separate red quotes (high occupancy facilities) actually has another allowance for those testing negative within 48 hours

maybe before spitting out your dummy and crying like a baby. do your research
recognise your cries about shops/malls are in green not red

in the 40 minutes between your post and my post submission, i was able to do:
my own thing. (i was having breakfast yes i bought the ingredients from a store)
decide to log into this forum.. (logging in 20minutes after you posted)
read your post. (start of 10min check)
click your link.
read the article.
click the link within your link.
read that more detailed article..
realise you are wrong about your assumption because the details are clear.. (end of 10min check)
and then write this post.(10 min to write it)

maybe you can use 10minutes more wisely and do research. dont hit the reply button just to argue for the sake of arguing. instead take a step back realise its a learning experience where you should do some research. .. then do some research
