I know at some point we will see it above $100k and I can't afford to miss it.
I can’t afford to miss it either & I have no intention of selling a large portion of my stash until we see $100,000 per coin. I won’t sell nothing during the next epic bull run like this time. I’m cool with not selling at $20,000 but I’m not going through another multi year bear market sitting on my fucking hands again. The next bull run will make my life & probably several generations of my families lives after I’m gone. I won't even sell that much at $100K if/when it ever comes. Just "enough"... and maybe a little more to rebuy on the subsequent bear market. For some reason talking about $100K makes me (very) uncomfortable. It's like a feelings mix of not wanting to sound delusional (or delude myself) nor "jinx" it. Same feeling about $10K a couple of years ago. I don't take anything for granted... at all. |

^ that graph is really looking ugly MAN delete it from our minds  I could live with it. |

Isn't it almost incredible how far the ATH or even $10K+ seems about now?
Not that I don't think it will eventually reach it but.... it seems so far that I will probably feel the same incredulity and joy that I felt when it came for the first time.
Just thinking out loud....

why not apply to be a merit source ? highly doubtful you will get it due the way you use your merit at least in my own opinion, as i do not believe being nice should get you a merit , i am an asshole and i get plenty of merit for a reason.
but then according to merit "rules" you are not doing anything wrong, you may spend your merit as you you see fit, but asking for merit just to re-send them is not very smart, only half those merit will be in your sMerit.
why should he apply, he is a merit source.....  In fact, in spite of having had some previous interactions with Globb0 in the WO, I never realised he was a merit source until he created this thread. Which just gives an idea of how moderate/reasonable he has usually been about his merit sending, almost indistinguishable from another regular Legendary with his own merit supply. Well, if I had really checked it would have been obvious as he has more out than in merits among other reasons, but my point still stands. I think there's not much else to discuss here since everyone has given their views and all are reasonable (what I previously said about diversity). He decided, for once time, to do an original merit sending action to raise awareness about something (politeness and gratitude) that sometimes we do forget. Me included. The cost of the "campaign"? Maybe a bit more than 50 Merits in total that got widely spread mostly among well established (and polite! lol) members of the community. I would say mission accomplished. My hat tip to Globb0 for that. |

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5097875.0oh man Globb0 do be careful of those tards over there. they are mindless power-crazed robots. you may have to back down and act contrite and change your ways. btw love what you were doing of course It's a pity a random spontaneous act of kindness and generosity can be so heavily criticised instead of just accepted for what it is. The whole situation seems strange to me. If there were "random and spontaneous acts of kindness and generosity," then why is there a need to draw attention to such by creating a thread? Reminds me of one of my female co-workers who brought homeless guy to work with her, and then attempted to defend her position. She ended up getting fired over the matter, because it was a sign of her bad judgement especially the fact that she failed/refused to be discreet about the matter - a kind of self-destruction. You could be way more helpful if you used your logic to support our fellow good-standing members. I am not saying you are wrong. Just trying that you see it from another more positive and supportive point of view. I did not know that I was participating to be "supportive" of crazy? Next thing you are going to want me to invest in some "profitable" charity? I tried. During the run up to $19k, I had a guy ask me donate some bitcoin to a good cause, because he knew that I was rich. Bonkers. You are not SO rich  |

A 'pebble' falling from several kilometers (without any acceleration except for gravity) will kill you I think. At least that's what I remember my calculation of over a decade ago.
Did you account for air drag, or did you only consider gravitational acceleration? At that time it would have lost all of its rotation and probably would be just tumbling with added air drag. A parabolic shoot on the other hand.... But still most probably not deadly... if it was so unfortunate to hit someone in the head/eyes/neck. Which is like an extremely small probability in itself. A hit to the body of person with clothes would probably just bounce (not without some moderate impact pain depending on clothes thickness) and not penetrate. just wrong Fatalities from falling bullets are all too frequent. The classic scenario is middle eastern wedding celebrations where falling lead kills a member of the party. Happens too much. Hmmmm, if you say so maybe I am wrong.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebratory_gunfireTime to do some study about it... P.S.: It looks like the most dangerous it is when it is shoot at an angle (parabolic trajectory), as expected, not straight up in the air. But yeah, it seems real people have died or been injured due to it. |

not stupid for sure, but all have had there moment of generosity
In my opinion I don't think merits should be generously handed out, as it has nothing to do with a "free will gift",it's a "gift" that should be earned,giving out merits freely just for the sake of generosity shouldn't be acceptable as in no time we'll end up ranking up users who shouldn't in anyway rank up if it is toward polite people and somewhat "true forum members" then why would it be so wrong?
So users would use "sir","ma" etc Indiscriminately all in the name of being polite could rank up huh,without actually doing anything?,hell no! It is interesting what you say there. We can theorize about it. I would say that if certain positive (for the community) acts would be RANDOMLY rewarded, the outcome would be an overall increase of those positive acts. I mean, if good manners or a particular positive behaviour would be known to be randomly rewarded the end result would be those good manners or particular behaviour would be seen most often no matter if that particular post gets rewarded or not. Of course if it got rewarded every time or if all sources shared the same inclination to reward those very same posts, shitposters would try to trick the system and take advantage of that knowledge. One could even argue that, even in that case, we would at least have a more polite and well mannered community even if for the probability/certainty of obtaining a reward. In the end, it is just balance what counts and different merit sources having different (and dynamically changing) criteria is what builds that diversified balance. ... Can we just move on FFS?  |

If I had to guess I would say it is something Globb0 decided to do as a once time. It is obvious that if he did it routinely all shitposters would pile around him to get something.
Globb0 may be a kind person, but he is not stupid. At all.

Hi I have used all sendable merit rewarding manners and politeness on the forum in response to a forum members kindness.
Please replenish me if possible so I can continue my work
Good job.
I understand what you did there even if it may be questionable for some. Thanks for your act of kindness and generosity on Mic's thread! P.S.: For whoever that doesn't get it... I would guess he was somehow moved by the generosity of Mic (which he has repeteadly demonstrated) and decided to contribute to the positivity in the way he could. Without expecting absolutely anything in return. |

Did you account for air drag, or did you only consider gravitational acceleration?
I took an average pebble out my garden. It weighs 10 grams and has a mean diameter of about 20 mm. If we assume it were perfectly spherical with a drag coefficient of 0.47, travelling through air with standard density of 1.225 kg/m^3, and plug the figures into the formula for terminal velocity we get: sqrt((2*0.01*9.81)/(1.225*(3.14*0.01^2)*0.47)) = 33 m/s or 119 km/h. If we pipe that into E = 1/2*m*v^2 for energy, we get ~5.5 J or ~4 ft-lb. Or in other words, I need Bitcoin to do something exciting. Perfectly spherical bullets are way different to regular bullets that end up tumbling as soon as they lose the rotational speed with a way higher air drag. Much of the penetration of a regular gunshot is thanks to its rotational speed. That's why pipeguns are not that effective, even at very short distance, unless properly directed against unprotected vital points (neck, eyes, temple, etc). To the mooooooon!!! weeeeeeeeee  WO is a surprise box. I share this hobby, sports shooting, it seems that they understand a lot about ballistics. Oh, past year I decided to cancel/not renew my "sports shooting" license and sell my firearms. Now I am an officially unarmed civilian  For me, it was already a pretty boring and expensive hobby with all the increasing legislation, requirements and taxes. I envy our American friends in the gun regulations. |

Did you compile this list yourself? What were your sources? Attach the data in plain text editor and sort the list by dates. Different pages in the Google search blockchain event list, bitcoin events and more. Why? I would guess JJG thought it was some sort of copy/paste from another place. Now that you have clarified it, and him being a merit source, I would expect he give credit where it is due with some well deserved merits for your effort. |

Yuh I'm dead impressed gentlemand didn't run off to Southend with Arriemoller's £1.60 +p&p. He could have settled with a gypsy woman and rubbed crystal balls while she cackled. But no, he did a trustworthy thing that one time.
He actually asked me to pay when the paper arrived, so I could have taken the paper and run. Although he's got my address so he might have come for me. And the post knows how to fleece you, total cost was over £7 Yeah, there's people that have been sent a hitman for way less than that. Good that you somehow managed to pay in due time! |

I guess the point I was trying to make is it's probably not a good idea. I was trained to always to shoot at something, be it a practice target, the ground, a tree or the enemy. Not wildly into the air. ymmv.
Oh yeah, I totally agree. My father used to shoot .22 cal bullets straight up in the air in the middle of the fucking city when we were testing some homemade silencers I used to make (not anymore, I am a totally law abiding citizen and have always been since I was 18+) and I remember I was very uncomfortable and upset with him for that because I speculated about the possibility of someone being hit by the falling bullets even if miles away. He never even considered my opinion and now I think he was probably right... At least now that I can get my calculations right. Still I think it was wrong and a perfectly avoidable risk no matter what. |
