I just don't see how any place could go out of business serving up such fare!

I’m sure the local women are beyond beautiful

According to gentlemand you can get killed just for passing by some local's belongings there. I don't even want to know what will happen to you if you'll start flirting with a local girl  Cool

Not to mention trying to hire them to strip at the party....

You got it wrong first amount of people the more the cheaper it can be Cheesy

But the price can have some influence in the amount of people that would attend Tongue

Really, how many would attend at an admission price of $10K? How many at $1K? (I am talking about the price of the party only, not accomodation, travel or other individual extras which probably will be higher than that amount)
1223  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: June 03, 2019, 09:20:19 PM
So... is there now some sort of informal agreement that around $1K per person could be a reasonable baseline for basic admission to the $100K party?

Or is anyone proposing something specific (either extravagant or not) that would require to raise the price to cover the additional cost?



I have short arms and long pockets, but even I could live with $1k admission.

I honestly think we first need Some coördinator for this, Kurious show to have Some knowledge him together with 2 others that wanna start it ....

Then they create a map of first location, Then..., Then..., how many true WO members

When they have a true gast list Then you can start talking prices... Maybe a seperate thread or basic questions to the involving members only

Like if 3 organisers have a full gast list, let say (just a number) 60 WO’s
 Each Pm with 20 different, take through the main points and come out with what it Will be

But please first things first

Get the head of the table Then go with points till all is been taken care of....

Not?


But but, it is better to have a budget first I mean, try to agree on an INITIAL baseline price and see how many people would attend. Then you can start planning, proposing budget change/increase etc...

It's pointless to plan for a $1 Million party budget if that would mean $10K admission and you only have like a couple dozen people that would attend at THAT price. So that's why I am advocating for a more affordable price, unless a higher one is clearly justified.

I would much prefer a more modest party that really is doable than a pie in the sky (thinking about $100K/btc is enough pie in the sky already) that gets cancelled because whatever reasons.

Yeah, kurious, bob, infofront, you and propably some others would be good honest and respected candidates to coordinate it. Maybe someone that is local to the finally chosen location too.

Would this 100k party be open to anyone willing to pay the attendance fee? Can we prevent access to certain people not meeting a certain criteria? We don't want shitcoiners or who knows some undercover marketers attending.
Wait, who the fuck are you?
I might not be an active poster on this thread, but I surely read a lot of it, although it includes some scanning as lots of it is of little value. I come here to read and feel normal again. I can relate to what the posters on here are going through.

I might not care for making thousands of posts to get some imaginary forum ranking or feel the need to be one of the guys by having some virtual cap to wear, but I still feel like I have experienced what most here went through as part of the bitcoin journey we all share.

Solid reply. Welcome to the visible side of the WO.

$10K??!?

It's not for the money (not at $100K/BTC) but if I have to shell out $10K for a party I hope that at least covers an helicopter transport directly from my doorstep + private jet for the long haul + helicopter to the party place terrace. Otherwise I would feel more scammed than if I had bought those Bitconnect tokens.

Really, if you need to spend tens of thousands of dollars to party you donno how to party.

Can we at least agree that whomever feels like pays for his own drugs, whores and extravagances as an optional extra?

No way I am going to spend in the $100K party entrance more than 1 thousandth of my net worth. I am poor... but proud.

Also, it is starting to seem as if there will be not one but multiple $100K party locations... Maybe 1 in USA, one in EUR and one in some exotic island? Don't need to go all in in just one party.

Do you even follow us?

The negotiations started from $50k/person. Thanks to me and my haggling skills I lowered it to $10k. Be grateful.

Again it's not for the money but.... what that $10K or $50K would be buying? I mean are we talking about a weekend/week/month holiday party or a single night? Does it include housing or just drinks/venue/etc?

The whores will be just for the looks or full service included for everyone?

The details are important Smiley

Exactly, as I predicted earlier $6-6.5 in Summer, $10-15k Fall and new ATH in December 2019.

Things are going even better/faster than I predicted. It's now 8-9k so can easily reach 10-12k in summer, up to 15k in fall and my prediction of a new ATH in December 2019 still stands.   Cool

And no, don't think we're going back to 3k that lacks sense. We'd then get stuck in an endless pump and dump loop.
 

An ATH in december this year? That would be... hmmm... confusing, to say the least.

I would prefer if things go according to "the plan" and the ATH comes AFTER the halving... but not gonna complain if it happens sooner.

Anyway, as I have always said... prepare for the worst scenario, for the good ones you don't need to prepare anything. Also less disappointment, which is unhealthy.

I do agree that a revisit to $3K levels, even if brief, is getting more and more unlikely as the time goes by. Not impossible, but unlikely... as much unlikely as I would have predicted a couple months ago to now be already over $8K.
1229  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 31, 2019, 09:37:41 AM
I wouldn't mind if BTC would just hang around this levels till Q4.

To be honest I wasn't expecting such a fast and powerful recovery in just a couple of months just yet so what do I know.

do we have WO residents participating in whalepool telegram chat?

we can make a telegram group too.. you know.. to make the arrangements for the 100k party. My vote goes to make it in Cayman Islands.  Grin

I stand by my vote of Vegas (in summer). The place was basically built from scratch to host the $100K summit/party.

https://nypost.com/2019/05/22/bitcoin-manipulation-madness-calls-for-massive-investigation/



found this gem. folks, if you are ready for some kind words of a NYP author then lean back, grab a beer and/or joint and enjoy the show.


Quote
The US, the European Union and China need to investigate who is behind the manipulation of bitcoin’s price.

And since I happen to know Donald Trump and I also happen to know that the president reads my column regularly, that’s what I’m suggesting right now. No need to even make a phone call.

As I’ve said before, bitcoin is nothing more than a confidence game. It’s worth nothing if people suddenly lose their confidence in this fake digital currency. It’s backed by nothing. It’s the definition of a con.

That’s why people who are propping up bitcoin lose their minds whenever someone like me writes anything negative about it. That’s what happened on Tuesday.

Thanks, folks, for all the e-mails and tweets. Keep them coming!

I’ll keep them handy because I am sure that every one of these writers will be thrilled to defend bitcoin in front of investigators from the Securities & Exchange Commission, the Justice Department, the IRS, Homeland Security and any other agency that will eventually get in on the action.

Just so you know, I didn’t start this latest skirmish with the bitcoin, uh, let’s call them “enthusiasts.”

Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank started it when he said recently: “Cryptocurrencies or bitcoins, or anything like that, are not really currencies — they are assets. A euro is a euro — today, tomorrow, in a month — it’s always a euro. And the ECB is behind the euro. Who is behind the cryptocurrencies? So they are very, very risky assets.”

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell has said pretty much the same thing. “There are investor and consumer protection issues as well” with bitcoins, Powell told the House Financial Services Committee a year ago.

Powell also said cryptocurrencies are not real currencies because they have no intrinsic value.

I’ve said the same thing when a bitcoin was selling for $20,000. And still was saying it when it plunged to $4,000. Its real worth: $0.

Legendary investor Warren Buffett called bitcoin “rat poison squared.” And Berkshire Hathaway Vice Chairman Charlie Munger said trading in cryptocurrencies is “just dementia.”

Jamie Dimon, head of JPMorgan Chase, has called bitcoin a “fraud,” although he has since backed off that view. Dimon was probably getting pressure from his company’s traders, who figure they can make a quick score before bitcoin collapses.

But there are simple means for settling this: investigations. Do them now, before gullible investors take another hit like they did when bitcoin fell from $20,000.

An analyst named Tom Lee, of little-known Fundstrat Global Advisors, seems to be going to heroic lengths to promote bitcoin. He should be the first to be asked his opinion and how much of his own money is invested in the crypto market.


nouriel, is that you?  Grin





Read it some time (?days? weeks?) ago. I think I stopped reading at this: "And since I happen to know Donald Trump and I also happen to know that the president reads my column regularly, that’s what I’m suggesting right now. No need to even make a phone call."

Yeah, because you don't even need to call your pal "donnie"... he is just permanently looking for the slightest signal from you to act on your command.

Clown.

Just noticed a lot of avatar changed back to HATs = massively Bullish indicator!
My signature campaign disappeared as the site that was paying it shut down. (I was getting around $500 a month in btc at the end there) Now I need someone to rent my sig space and let me keep my hat.

$500 a month just for wearing a sig? Where do I have to sell my soul apply for something like that? Tongue

Hello WO thread!

One of the regulars here said I should stop by and say hello.  I'll be honest though some of you lot scare the shit out of me!!!

Welcome!

Please don't be afraid of JJG. He barks profusely, but don't really bite and is usually somewhat kind in its own way.

Enjoy!

P.S.: The rules are simple, don't ever feed the trolls (nor JJG on thursdays?). I think there was some about jbreher on wednesdays but not sure if that did stick.... anyway, remember that only Bitcoin (BTC) is the true Bitcoin and all will be smooth.

And please always take into account that thinking of how much Bitcoin we could have bought or hodl in the past is no different than thinking how we could have bought that winning lottery ticket... afterwards.

That being said... why the fuck didn't I buy more?!?!  Huh AARRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! Cry
1236  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2019, 06:21:32 PM
eh well fuck I bought like 7 of those 333 megahash miners at 1 btc a pop.

heh yup, got one of those too. the block erupter. dont remember what i paid though.

if i had just held everything.. but meh. if no one had actually used btc it would be a failed experiment by now. and i didnt replace my early btc because it was all just majik internetz moneyz anyway..

Yes. There's no point in trying to think how things would have been if you did a single thing differently (ie hodling more or buying more or selling/losing less) as if that wouldn't have influenced your own behaviour or even the whole echosystem. Maybe Bitcoin would have failed, or maybe you would have lost it some time later, or maybe....

Same as there is no point for laszlo thinking he shouldn't have bought the pizzas because: I am sure he had plenty of additional BTC, what did he do with them? Why didn't he mine or buy more after the trade? The price didn't suddently skyrocket right after the purchase. Buying the pizzas was not the mistake. It was a pretty good deal in fact.

Let the past be past. Think of the future... it's bright.
1237  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2019, 05:50:46 PM
... he sourced and shipped me a number of euro spec thermostats ... I think it was 6 BTC for the parts.

Those have got to be the most expensive thermostats you've ever bought...

Like my TREZOR, which I bought for 0.13 BTC...

Lesson learned: spend fiat first, and BTC only when you absolutely have to.

Lol. Mine was 1BTC

just over 4 btc for my trezor here. preordered jan 2016 got it in apr 2016

My ledger was around 0.1-0.2 BTC.... but... right after I received it and played with it I saw the light and the future of crypto for the masses and felt confident enough to buy some more (full) bitcoins over the next few months. I couldn't be more grateful to that enlightening purchase even if it had costed me much more. It basically triggered me to buy more BTC.

For my Trezor, some time later, I just additionally bought the same amount of BTC that it was costing me.

I have finally had the time to read this thread and the other one out of curiosity... For fucks sake! What a bunch of words and posts for a complete nonsense!

Is this a fucking kindergarten? If it is, at least make it fun and friendly instead of so much drama and hatred over *NOTHING*.

LFC is legit. That is all I am gonna say.... back to my Bitcoin observing.

I seem to be getting discredited & trolled by a couple of the least respected (with the worst trust scores) people on the entire forum.

There’s a thread about me started by one of cryptohunter’s alts & every time somebody posts something positive about me he deletes it (it’s a self moderated thread).

I’ve had no choice but to start my own Reputation thread. Please feel free to leave your comments/experiences with me here - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5147811.new#new

Thanks for your time Smiley

On my trusted list for all to see

(Globb0) Stands by you

Oh good, now I finally found a usage/reason to start compiling my trust list .

Still don't fucking care about those "reputation"/trust stats... but if it does help some WO bros, why not.

Nice.
1240  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: May 27, 2019, 12:48:28 AM
I like this green candles. But, why?

If we knew that, and especially now (jeez...it just shot up out of the blue IMHO) we would be 'living crypto gods' and on CNBC every day!

(ah the glory) Smiley



I hope you now feel way more relaxed and happy about your retirement stash now Smiley
