#bitcoin chart update: 14 months to halving. Note that 2011 bottom was at 12 months, and 2015 bottom at 10 months before halving .. 🚀

https://twitter.com/100trillionUSD/status/1102122695683133440

I don’t like the look of those stats, hopefully the bottom is already in. I don’t really want to go sub $3,000.

Me either, that is going to be another test for us, we have survive this far, I don't know if we can still do the same with $3,000 below.

Bleh, I have seen my Bitcoins lose $16000 *each* from ATH. The remaining $4000 per BTC are not gonna make me lose sleep.

Win or bust for me. In a few years I will reevaluate my position.

Nice

Wake up few hours before take off

Right into Fat ass b*tches and a BTC under 3.8K

What am i gonna do !?


*JoJo keep this place a little civilized please*

Dude JJG is feeling me on this, top row ain't bad. Top right if she had a better face would be a decent lay. That ass ain't bad.

Watching on my Cellphone mate, for what i see its a mountain of cow’beasts.... not my cup of thea but hey we are all diffrent, and Maybe its just the beer talking with you, as for me i just woke up, as for that its just a photo not to wake up into....
Roll Eyes
Well I'm not a chubby chaser, the wife is a dime and a slim one at that she's under 110 when not pregnant. Maybe im more a realist right now. A chubby bitch in lingerie ain't bad.

Sometimes we have cravings for what we do not have...   grass is greener principle.

Yeah, one has to stay happy with his grass.... how hard that is for sometimes Roll Eyes

I think, by nature, difficult for guys.  Guys have to be trained into a kind of monogamy, and they are generally not very good at it, especially if they are put into situations where they have options.

By the way, whether we are talking about bitcoin or not.  A guy is frequently seen as attractive if he can provide for a woman, and bitcoin price appreciation can even cause less attractive guys to be ablt to present themselves as attractive because they can provide for a woman (and perhaps many woman), so my point is that sometimes a guy might have a dimepiece of a spouse, but still tempted by variety, if it appears to him that he has those kinds of options.

Monogamy is completely anti natura. It's society what has been building over that concept. As social persons we are, we can adapt to it and even be somewhat confortable with it and abide by the rules.

Also genetics usually win over material in what comes to SEX (marriage or establishing a family is a way different thing).

I just read this:

https://www.newsbtc.com/2019/03/01/bitcoin-seastead/

Congratulations Elwar!!!

Nicely done!

I'm famous! Guess it's time to move to Hollywood and get into the drug scene. Then end up broke in the gutter until years later when they ask "where are they now?" where I clean up for the interview as everyone says how brave I am.

One can dream...

Not sure if Elwar should have been consulted about this before posting. That article gives out personal info.

As to the personal info I really doubt those are their real names anyway

I would say Elwar's is. Nadia's "lastname" not so sure.

Anyway, names are the less of the problem when you have already decided to go public (which is usually fine most of the time besides our sometimes even insane paranoia).

They are going to live in the middle of the fucking sea. Don't seem to be the average scared-by-everything guys.

@Elwar

Nice accomplishment you have done by being the first ever seasteader in history (or so it seems?).

One little suggestion for your prototype, I would add a cone to the bottom and also a circular metal sheet around the circumference of the seastead and fill it up with PU for added thermal insulation, reduced water/air resistance, and extra flotability in the "worst case scenario".

Maybe you already considered it and disregarded? If so, can I ask why?

Again, congrats on your achievement and best of luck!
1686  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 02, 2019, 02:31:09 AM
But to be honest, we have had a great growth since the very next day after my "capitulation" post so I don't see any reason to uncapitulate yet. Plus we are not really out of the woods. Bear market is probably not dead yet no matter if we already saw the bottom or not (which I really don't know for sure).

I am starting to get the feeling that you, bitserve, are trolling us with your capitulation status, for effect.



My "capitulation" post was truly honest and a fair representation of what I was feeling at the time. Of course, even then, I was hoping to be wrong (in fact I state exactly that in the post). After that, we have had some "fresh air" in the form of a nice price growth but, even if sometimes my level of hope raises, I still fear the worst and know there's no reason to think we are out of the bear market. Yesterday events prove my fears are not unjustified.

Of course any of us who went through the bear market of 2014/15 and/or the downward price movements of 2018 feel a level of shell shock - but there is also some degree of normalcy in UP and DOWN price moves, including yesterday's.  In other words, we are not likely to go up until there is a considerable amount of back and forth in the price... And, I agree that we are no where close to being out of the bear market... give me supra $5k and I might begin to feel some confidence and give me supra $6k and my confidence goes even higher.

So no, I am not trolling, even if I am being INTENTIONALLY cautious in trying not to be carried out by the joy (FOMO?) when a pump comes. As I said, we are absolutely NOT out of the woods, so my "capitulation" status will remain until further notice.

Let's be clear (again) that I am HODLING. As always since when I started in 2013 (with small amounts back then, unfortunately).

No buying plans?  sub - $2,500 perhaps?

Currently, my buy orders are resuming in the sub $3,700 arena... after a bit of a hiatus due to personal cashflow issues... but feeling prepared for DOWN... even though UP is so much more preferable... but reality of several months seems reasonable.

By the way, there is so much feeling of DOWN out there that it could be the opposite and merely BIG players accumulating shitloads of the weak hands here... Any weak hands even left?  Perhaps the bearwhales have to dump another 20k coins in order to find out if there are any more weak hands remaining to purge?


Let's also make very clear that I have never been a bear market buyer, so DYOR/YMMV. Neither a FOMO'er (except when an ATH has JUST broken). I buy when I sense a bear market is over and stop doing it (with "fresh" deposits) when I think things are getting (way) out of hand. The rest of the time I just let it run as a happy hodler... besides some volatility scalping here and there.

So, hypothetically, if the bottom is already "in" at $3120-ish, then you may end up buying on the way up?  or maybe 6-9 months later if BTC prices are still in the sub $5k arena?

P.S.: I have updated my profile to make it more clear. I have finally found an use for that feature lol

Ok.. that notice should be helpful to figure out if or when you are out of capitulation status.

You always make overly complicated to reply by splitting a single post into many paragraphs. Anyway, I will reply by numbering:

1-) Basically agree.

2-) I had some buying plans yeah, problem is that I am in a "stressful" IRL financial situation. My fiat reserves are not as spare as previously. So any buying plan got to be postponed or very well thought. I can afford to hodl, but buying more could end to be a reckless decision in MY current situation. Otherwise I would probably be buying.

Once I realise what my current capabilities exactly are I will reevaluate my buying (with "fresh" deposits) plans.

3-) Yes I could be buying in the way up even if it is a higher price. Two main reasons:

- It could be way more clear the uptrend will continue or the bottom is SURELY in (less downside risk).
- I could be in a better financial situation by that time so that I can reasonably "risk" more on crypto.

I'm so freaking bored.

So bored, in fact, I'm thinking of dumping 10 BTC of additional liquidity into my LND node, and start opening some max-value channels...

... and then I think about "How in tarnation am I going to find the time to balance all them there channels I'm fixin' to establish ?"

And then I cry inside, and die a little bit more, at how excruciating it is to presently manage that.

My kingdom for better channel balancing abilities.

Right now, I'm basically all "hurr durr imma gonna raise the rates for one week, then imma gonna lower them for another week" across all channels.

It's all very stupid right now.

Or maybe it's just me.

It's probably me.

I have no idea what I'm doing half the time, and just winging it through life.

Mostly.

I remember when I setup my first web server around 1994 IIRC. Looking at the access logs was almost like watching the paint dry. I remember my obsession in reducing the image sizes and even *EVERY* HTML code tags to the bare minimum, saving every byte and continually doing all sorts of optimisations basically for no reason because almost no one was really USING it.

I would say LN is basically in that stage now.

Give it time.

When moon?

 Just a little bit more patience.

 The moon-rise has begun, it's just off to a very slow start.

Simple answer, best answer.

Don't be disappointed if we are still below 5k this time next year.

OF-course i'm disappointed if were below 5K next year, (i will not regret HODLing and will keep on HODLing), but i would be disappointed cause i think one year from now is a very long time to go over 5K......and were then in the pre-halving zone
but yeah if the narrative would say below 5K then thats what i'll be following
but i think it will do a lot better then that, time will tell and no one else, not me not you, even our very own TA-wizard HM can only guess/assume whats it gonna be

time will tell Wink

Please take into account that most of the previous rises has not been pre-halving but POST-halving. Being under $5K in one year from now is not completely out of the cards. Two years from now.... that would be way different.

P.S.: If I had to bet... I would say around $6-12K one year from now. Totally straight out my ass.

With all due respect, why are we supposed to repeat prior flat mo for mo?

So far, at a macro level, it matches almost exactly.  Don’t ask me why, I just work here.

Everyone expected a plunge in January because it would be the same as in 2015, but it happened in December instead, so not really almost exactly.
I grant you that there is some similarity so far, but IMHO, this would go away soon.

One of the bigger differences will probably be that the next bull run won't be as much explosive as the previous ones. Otherwise Bitcoin would reach a ridiculous price... something I don't think will happen with just one single bull run. The curve must tend to gradually flatten. How much? Noone knows.

We keep declining above 80% (84-94%) after each peak, however, we increase smaller and smaller % in each cycle.
This would result in a lower low after a couple of cycles.
If the decreasing trend in X-factor increase of each peak (X36 to X17 to X8 to X3.76 to X1.77; bold numbers indicate what already happened) is followed by about 84% plunge each time, then btc would peak at about 595K and then starts declining with lower lows for both peak and trough each time 595K (peak) to 95K (trough), then 95K to 168K (peak), then 168K to 27K (trough), etc.

$595K? See? That's what I mean by a ridiculously high price for next bull run. Even if I would love to be wrong... that's not gonna happen.

Also I forgot to say that the next bear market I don't expect it to dump as hard as previous ones.

Of course we are just speculating here. We will find out "soon"... during the next couple of years, maybe three.

I guess whales dont have time or patience to Bart anymore, just straight down then straight up a few minutes later. Every trader gets bogged but hodlers always win in the end Cheesy

It's nice for scalpers. Let them keep doing it. I have always loved volatility. Problem is that this is still very low volatility for me, being a minion my ranges are usually wider.

Other than that it is completely irrelevant for hodlers. Just insignificant noise.

P.S.: I have the suspicion this last dump has come from the same whale of the last time.

Bitcoins ability to let you control your own money is becoming more important by the day. Anecdotally, but illustrative: Met another coiner who had 30-some K in the bank. He wanted to withdraw them all. They said nope, he had to come to a meeting and explain what he wanted them for. Another guy is being told by the cashier that they don't want him to withdraw as much money as he does, he had to tell them that the women he deal with are not cheap. And my bank won't let me deposit money, simply because I sell bitcoin for cash.

On a broader scale, banks are shutting down entire accounts for people on the right, which is to say, to the right of Marx. Only a few known cases so far, but there will be more, and it will keep going. How are they supposed to pay their rent? To eat? To travel? This is literally meant to destroy peoples lives, ultimately killing a percentage of them.

The price of bitcoin does not reflect its value. Nevermind speculation, bitcoin is literally becoming a matter of survival.

The problem, again, is the conversion to CASH. Banks don't want to deal with cash. Governments don't want you nor banks to deal with cash. Why? Because it is way harder to control (and TAX!).

Keep separate your cash and your banking fiat and everything with be fine. If you want to "launder" (either legally or illicit) cash into banking FIAT set up a real business that is reasonable to do cash dealings. If you want to spend lots of banking fiat, do it via credit cards.

In other words: You are using it wrong Tongue
All of which is to say, money today is not fungible.

Exactly. Not even cash really is... because (nowadays) you can't use it to buy expensive shit nor real estate, etc...

Anyone knows if there is already any service of "proxy" online LN wallet?

I mean, something that would work like this:

- I send, for example, 0.1BTC to their wallet (my deposit address) same as I do with an exchange.

- Now I have a 0.1BTC balance with them (not your keys, not your BTC... I know)

- Then, the service would let me send LN payments which they would route via their LN node and already established channels on my behalf and substract the amount (plus a fee, presumably) from my balance.

- A plus would also be the possibility of creating LN invoices and receiving payments in the same way above and an easy to use mobile phone APP.

Anyone?

Custodial Wallets are a thing now, yes.  And somewhat controversial among the purists.  I think they are inevitable at least until Neutrino

It's great news because last time I asked a few months ago it seemed that it didn't exist yet.

I understand why purists may have something to say, but IMHO custodial LN wallets do make even much more sense than regular custodial wallets. I have not much of a problem in letting a third party the custody of my small change and use them for convenience. It is the whole of my stash what I want to directly control and custody. <- Notice how this is the complete opposite of how the current banking system + cash works.

Of course LN neutrino would be a great offering for the ones who would prefer that intermediate solution.

This is looking very good.



As long as it doesn't lead to some kind of 51% type attack with one mega payments monolith in there



I am a firm believer in free market competition. LN services can be offered with very little entry barriers (unlike ie mining). Also it is conceived to be decentralised from its beginning.

If it ended somehow being much less decentralised, then that would be the markets "speaking".

That being said, if LN had massive success I would predict something like half of the market shared by a few (probably tens) of bigger players and the rest by thousands of minions. I am speculating of course.

For being able to scale *MASSIVELY*, channel reuse/sharing would be needed. One user one node would not scale nowhere near as well, even if everyone will have the choice to run its own full fledged LN node for paying their own coffee. Also there is no real need to settle in the blockchain after every single couple of cents payment... even if you have, again, the choice to do it.

If it goes UPPPP, I win because I already hodl Bitcoinzzz and my recent buys will make profits too.

If it goes down, I buy more and I win again becuz I can buy moar cheap bit-coinzz...

If it goes sideways, I WIN again and again. Becuz it is already down -%80.63 and we know it will be up in a year or two.

I am an investment genius.

Not only that... even if you can't buy more, if it goes down you WIN because weak hands sell and there's less bagholders waiting to dump at higher prices on the next bull run.
