I'd also try to screen some of the posting quality (before and after the long break) as this could be a genuine absence from some people (not talking about the people in this thread, just a general view) As we could be blacklisting people that simply just got access to their account back, and just came back after the hype of bitcoin.

People don't seem to remember that both have very different aspects to consider when it comes to investment, as gold is practically like a store of value when it comes to investing -- this is what some people want to see out of Bitcoin, but with the current price action it's not something which is present (unless you bought a year and a half ago or something)

Bitcoin is a pretty volatile asset class compared to anything else, and I truly do think that comparing it to gold is dangerous as it strays from the world currency that bitcoin was supposed (and is supposed) to be

I think he means that something like this is going to be the exception, and sure as shit not the rule.

Also, this isn't saying that bald people aren't going to be successful in life. It's just pointing out that in society it is fine to make fun of someones looks when it falls under certain categories (OP is talking about, in particular, being bald) but you can't do it (or it's frowned upon) if you're making fun of someone's weight.

The double standard is all it is, really.

Probably due to the fact that as of right now, the 'war' seems to be going towards it being mutually beneficial towards both sides. As all Trump wanted to do was fix problems that have been persisting from the Chinese side for a pretty long time (such as theft of IP, Opioid Crisis - Fentanyl, tariffs on American goods coming into China, etc etc.

So yeah, I see this as a beneficial part of negotiations and hope that the tariffs can be removed once negotiations are complete.

Buying the dip is only a strategy for losers when it doesn't work, and it's a strategy with winners when it works. The price can go up, or it can go down.

When it comes down to the price increases and decreases, both sides have their own fighting going on about why they think this is temporary, and the other side thinks that this is just the beginning of the end. Obviously, the bulls are going to point to the fact that the price has gone through this sort of thing multiple times before -- and the price HAS been able to blow past the previous ATH.

Though, the bears are going to point to the fact that this time is different and Bitcoin is practically a household name at this point. Everyone who could have invested in it (or lets just use the real term, speculated) have already gotten in and lost money.

Who knows what way it's going to go.

Is it sad that when I quickly glanced at this all I saw was

'I was driving at 120mph... and that is against the law' --> I then thought, you MAY be able to get out of that one if you explain it well enough (Some people are good with that sort of charisma and instant bullshit)

But yeah..... analogy is pretty solid for this situation.

Big news on the Trade War that's been going on between the US and Canada, and I think this news is going to lead to a market that's going to fly off the hinges tomorrow (US market, is what I'm talking about specifically)

First, there was this news story - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-46413196 - "US-China trade war: Deal agreed to suspend new trade tariffs"

Which in layman's terms, practically meant that the US and China agreed to not further increase tariffs on one another's goods while negotiations are ongoing (I think it's like 90 days to allow for this). China also agreed to buy a substantial amount of US agriculture, energy, and industrial products. Unknown on the numbers at this time, but that's what's being said.

Also CHINA AGREED TO DESIGNATE FENTANYL AS A CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE Meaning that this drug that is playing a huge role in the opioid crisis, will not be allowed to be made in China any longer (also, China has some pretty crazy punishments for controlled substances. I'm talking about like death for any amount)

Plus some agreements on protecting intellectual property, which China is infamous for disregarding.

Another story also just came out about 15-30 mins ago - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-12-03/trump-says-china-has-agreed-to-reduce-remove-car-import-tariffs - Trump Says China Has Agreed to Reduce, Remove Tariffs on Cars

I don't think I have to explain that one, it just means that a 40 percent tariff that was on cars produced in America and imported into China would be due for a 40 percent tariff (pretty hefty) Big news if American car makers are going to want to expand into the Chinese marketplace. But I guess we'll see what this does.

Any comments on any of this? Would love to hear what others think about it.

Will change the sig if accepted, hopefully I'll be able to be apart of this great camp! Thanks.

Oh alright, this makes sense.

Just wanted to make sure all of the investors were safe, didn't want to see people losing funds over this!

Thanks.

I don't know if this is the new one, though it seems like the funds were moved to this wallet.

Well of course, they're working for their own interest -- together.  And when I mean their own interests, I mean the highest bidder.

Crazy system we have, but it seems like the best that we've got as of right now.

Was just checking out the cold wallets for some gambling places, though it seems like the one for Crypto-Games is fresh out. I'm more or less expecting this to be an issue with updating the site, but I would like to know if I'm missing an announcement or something like that.

Let me know folks, this is the link to their normal cold wallet - https://www.blockchain.com/btc/address/19JK42EVP192PXwxiektEu7CT5PfersA1X

Of course, this is how it works. This is what as known as the 'uniparty' where both sides are just going to fight as a distraction for how they're really just working with one another on most things.

Batman needs the joker, eh!

I'm all ready to go!

Are we really just going to act like once the government takes something, through civil forfeiture, that it's going to be theirs forever. There's, of course, going to be lawsuits relating to what has been seized. More and more attorney fees, and then boom -- no one wins in the end while the lawyers make money and the American people are distracted and problems aren't being solved.

Let's focus on the problems folks, on both sides of the aisle.

Jim had been told that he was to sit down, as Trump was done with his questions. I don't understand how people are going to be able to support someone who's openly not listening to the rules of the WH press conference.

Even after this, he got up and started talking while someone from NBC was asking questions to Trump -- I don't get it folks.

Unrelated to conspiracy theories, 26 of 27 deadliest mass shootings included the perpetrator being fatherless.

I actually did some analysis into where they are getting their funding from, and most of the money really does come from individual contributions. I'd have to dig through some of my old reports to see if I can find the source on that again, but it's at least 70 percent of their funding comes from individual contributions, events, etc.

The gun lobby isn't as big a part of the NRA as some people would like to think.

The NRA really has such a small amount of money compared to other lobbies, they're just a very powerful group that has a sway over public opinion. With that, they don't need money in order to be effective -- which is crazy to think about.

I Disapprove of What You Say, But I Will Defend to the Death Your Right to Say It

Thought this was a good time for this, carry on!
