for being in 'mostly' full HODL mode. (Damn, that 10 BTC I sold at $3,965 in the depths of despair are kinda hurting right now)  Man, I seriously just thought of you when we hit 10k, that's fucked up. It was 13 BTC. I cracked like a 'nut' when it hit $3,965 and had a fit like a 9-year-old child (including screaming and tantrums) when I pulled the trigger. I managed to recoup 3 BTC to make it only 10 Btc, rather than 13 BTC. Then of course at one time I had 12,965 Litecoin (now $143.03 I will not do the math I will start to cry). I sold 'most' of it when mining to BTC along the way from 2013. 12,000 of the above more or less was below $2 prices. The catch is, you do this stuff long enough you KEEP SOMETHING and it all did not get piddled away or into dubious ASIC miners and/or just wrong timing (above) WTF it is only money, right? I still have plenty of crypto should it all go 'Tulips' as folk still claim. Still, since 2013 this has and still is a hell of a lot of fun.  Still having a good time with this pump even if it is going up too fast. But hell, I can take any 'correction' down to 10k. (sh*t I just said a correction down to 10k wow) Brad You did what you had to do at the time and it made you stronger for holding the rest of your (very healthy) stash. You used your 10 BTC to secure your expenses until retirement and keep hodling the rest... it's not as if you had spent 10000BTC on a couple of pizzas, is it?  |

Seeing as how the point is to buy low, sell high, posting about how something just got done going up 1500-9000x generally makes it a terrible buy. Apple - Already sold a phone to everyone on the planet so not a whole lot of room for growth there Amazon - Already has a planet encompassing monopoly Netflix - Probably can grow bigger but still bloated already Bitcoin - Not possible to defeat physical metals on Exter's pyramid. Also has zero fundamentals from transaction validators being designed to centralize with tokens being non-fungible, making it a permissioned ledger whose only possible endgame evolution is an exact replica of the Chinese social credit score system Apple can sell a new phone every couple of years so the market is still the entire world Amazon are no where near being done. Netflix needs to have a little think but I think it’ll still do alright over the next 10 years. Bitcoin. Lol. Just buy some bitcoin man. Even as a happiness hedge. In ten years if BTC is over 100k you’re going to be one hell of a drag at parties.  No idea about amazon and Netflix but apple is spot on. Their new phones are overpriced af and whoever I see lately either uses an iPhone 6s or 7. (I am a 6s user myself) and I refuse to pay a grand for a fucking phone it is stupid. Apple's sale numbers Verifies it too. http://fortune.com/2019/02/21/apple-iphone-sales-2018/Bitcoin on the other hand, is just starting. Precious metals suck against bitcoin. Fully agreed. Apple has probably topped. Amazon has a lot of room to grow. There are many sectors they are barely touching yet. Also the amount of customers and volume can also grow. Netflix too, they can still greatly grow their user base, they could even moderately raise their prices while streaming costs and licensing presumably reduce over time and with scale. But that is speaking of them as a business.... I haven't calculated if the prices of its shares have already discounted future projected growth which perfectly could be the case. Bitcoin... well they are right in that it can't be valued the same as a business can... but one thing is sure: It has a LOT of room to grow. |

1 of the dishes is broken, in the original photo the trick was 2 looked to be pointing down.
I earlier presumed they were both the visual trick. I have now inspected the dishes in detail and I was wrong about one of them. I admit it.
I don't see that much difference between the two. Either they are both a visual trick or both dishes pointing downwards. I think we need an expert here... where is xhomerx10? Sad as I am I went up and down the road on street view inspecting the dishes and angles  *edit* the plot thickens, it was also fixed now from certain angles.    Great, you solved it! One (leftmost) clearly pointing fully down and the other one it seems was sliding over time and that explains why in some angles (maybe snapshots at a different date?) look not so down. Not a visual trick. Just neglecting owners. Mistery solved. |

Don't make me dig out Maxwell's equations on y'all.
Go on then Won't even have to. Satellite-band TV signals, being electromagnetic waves, are just light that oscillates more slowly. Accordingly, people can understand elements of their behavior by commonly perceived light behavior. Look at one of those antenna dish assemblies. Picture your eye being where the LNA is. Pointing in the same direction - angled upwards towards the dish. Now envision the dish being a mirror. Whadda ya see? The road? No! You see the sky, silly. Those dishes are pointing skyward. Hard to draw mathematical notation in BBCode anyhoo. Plus, it'd run right over most heads. You know we are talking about the two dishes in the top left, don't you? Was just joking, its just the orientation of the picture. They point off down the road. I don't think it is a visual effect. The dishes are pointing downwards... otherwise we wouldn't be seeing the LNB poles fully inverted. |

Except we don't really KNOW if it was really fully backed. Also, neither cash nor BANKING FIAT are absolutely NON-FUNGIBLE... if they were selling Tether in exchange of banking fiat coming from dubious individuals/corporations, those funds were not really worth their face value because you are assuming a risk (that finally materialised) that the funds gets frozen later.
That's the reason even people (not only governments/banks) do require reasonable KYC on the origin of funds for big purchases, because you could end up without the sold good plus the obtained funds seized on a later date.
We only know that one point in time it was backed and that was done by a law firm which was only allowed access to the balance but not the books. Shady but they did prove they had the cash at that one point in time. That's not enough evidence for ME. I can't say I know that just because of a third party dubious appraisal. In fact neither could they (not enough information and redundant verifications). And also that cash was already hindered from the origin so it was never worth its face value (which is my main point here). I can have a barrel full of (real) notes but if the origin of them is dubious it is almost (unless I manage to launder them, which has a very significant cost) as if I had nothing. Which is exactly what happened to Tether when it got a big chunk of their funds locked. Also, I can have X millions in my bank account and be bankrupt... if you don't have full access to my books and carry a deep audit it could all be just loaned money for the snapshot. It is basically impossible to take into account liabilities if you don't know about their existence. |

I believe this facebook coin will fail. Only boomers uses facebook these days and they dont have a clue how cryptocurrencies work. They will treat it as some generic digital coin, like those you use inside MMOs for example. It will be restricted to facebook, which is a dying platform, practically an icon of nocoinery and technological backwardness.
Just a reminder that Facebook means also Instagram +Messenger+ WhatsApp, this widens user base quite a lot, not only Dads on the internet then. In fact whatsApp is the killer app here for adding crypto transfers. The other ones I see more suitable for donations or something. As soon (if) they open up the feature I see tens of millions of people using it even if just for giggles. If it will stick to a more voluminous usage it is something hard to predict. I also expect facebook or *SOME SPONSORS* to carry out a little airdrop to get things started or order this product/fill this questionaire and receive x facecoins. |
