Before you read it elsewhere. Fasten your seatbelts guys. On January 18 Grayscale added 16,244 BTC to their Bitcoin fund!  More than 600,000,000 inflows on a single day. Highest BTC inflow ever. Highest USD inflow ever. More info here, on my GBTC Observer thread. Any info on others besides GrayScale piling into BTC? I mean what if they decide to 'slack off' and slow down purchases now due to the 'caution' of a pullback and wait for the pullback to buy again? Is there enough PayPal and other Traditional Investors now in play, to at 'least' keep the price sideways? Or are we looking at the usual 'Bitcoin you merciless bitch' ..plain old 50% pullback...brief or otherwise? Thanks, just wondering if the current BTC price is a 1 trick pony with GrayScale hype/FOMO mostly. Brad Edit: You 'hang around' WO Bitcointalk Thread enough and info will eventually fall from the sky...anyway...link to some of my questions in article below. https://medium.com/coinmonks/grayscale-trust-and-the-effect-on-crypto-prices-3bbd49d6fcb7It's not like GrayScale is buying themselves with their own funds, they're just a vehicle for others to get exposure to BTC. When/if ETF fund will get approved they'll drop hard and their premium will go away, because all of the investors would switch to ETF with lower fees. If investor interest dries up altogether then BTC price will correct accordingly |

WRT personal technology, the masses' rationality makes zero sense. Spending $1000 on a laptop, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather. Masses: What a huge waste of your money! Spending $1000 on a smartphone, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather. Masses: This is the way! Great use of your money!  Laptops are not shown around on the streets and in bars as status symbols. This, apple went from a tech company to a fashion brand a while ago |

Guys, so if I wanted to be a blockchain developer, where I should start?
i would love to study and why not become a blockchain dev because I know it will help me in the future, but I don't have any good sources where I can start, any help!
thanks.
Look for a bank or government working on blockchain, not Bitcoin. They love that shit. Also, you won't have to build a blockchain. Learn Oracle. you dont need a bank or government to be a blockchain dev tho, you can do that on your own. thanks, i will use this information. There is no blockchain, it's an illusion, only bitcoin. If you want to become "blockchain" dev learn SQL. If you want to dev bitcoin start here https://www.lopp.net/bitcoin-information/technical-resources.html |

Where's Lambie?
Tulsi Gabbard was in a local commercial just now and she was looking pretty good.
She'll still look good in 4 years; maybe by then some crazy shit will have happened and she'll be elected as the hottest president ever. We can only hope.
I'd also settle for AOC.
Oh yeah, I said it. It will happen eventually so prepare your retented anuses.
Heard Lambie had an unfortunate accident with erotic asphyxiation at a Nazi party |

They must be scared of him as fuck! After JFK, Trump is the 2nd guy in history trying it. They want to show the world their power so nobody will ever try again. Let the wars continue. Was a joy, 4 years without US wars and fake terror organizations. I bet a new very very bad and dangerous new muslim organization will pop out of nowhere after 20th January. Gates told it already couple months go, Muslim with biological virus spreading weapons. Well, there was Ukraine, Syria, and Yemen, but i lost you at "fake terror organizations" are you denying ISIS was real? Also can you be so nice as to put time frame on these predictions for accountability, and can we expect you to repent shall these predictions won't come true? Or like everyone else with targeted audience of a 15sec ADHD tictocer, the game is to make as many prediction as possible as even a broken clock tells correct time twice a day? |

I really like and encourage critical thinking. But starting your "critical thinking" process by simply denying a election result is not my understanding of "critical thinking" it's more like a state of denial. There are people who simply claim there is no pandemic because there are no viruses in the first place. Thats not "critical thinking" that's just a straightforward lie. And this stuff somehow has to be controlled in the future. Otherwise the whole internet idea collapses in itself, because the people are not able to cope with the "information" aka "lies" they read. //But i obligate to go back to the bitcoin price movement, instead of arguing over the internet.  As free people, we all have the right to think whatever we want and believe whatever we choose to, including denial. There is nothing illegal about choosing to believe something that is seen as false by 99% of the rest. When something truly sinister happens in the world, you'll be thankful for these overly suspicious conspiracy theory believers/non-believers. Nothing has to be "controlled". We succeeded in surviving as a species for millions of years just fine without any control. In fact, religious control set us back a couple thousand years. That should be enough of a lesson right there to stop the idea of controlling anything beyond setting clear laws and enforcing them. Just punish those who break the law and ignore the voices you don't agree with. If enough people really get behind an idea or a person, there is probably some truth behind what they believe. Nothing in life is black or white. Everything is a shade of gray. What you have to ask is "why" so many people like Trump. Do you really believe they are all mentally ill? Critical thinking would be trying to understand what people see in Trump, not saying we must control something so people don't end up liking a guy like Trump. I believe history shows that we're community species packed in groups (safety in numbers), as such there was always a controlling dominating figure, alpha leaders, kings, monarchs, tsars, religious leaders, gov etc, etc, etc. Think we can all agree that, for better or worse, majority tends to go with the flow, which is easily exploitable by knowledgeable individual. Historical template seems to be, play on people's insecurities, allocate blame on "others", and provide hope which can be only attained by unquestionably following the leader. Just because a cult manages to gather a huge following doesn't mean that there's much behind it other than individuals wanting to belong or be part of something greater than them. If anything, right now we're experiencing liberation of opinions. Before there was that one crazy person at every bar, now all those crazy people in millions of bars have platform where they can come together, organize, grow and now don't feel marginalized/isolated. Despite education and space travel, flat earthers seem to be growing. I'm sure there's a forum for society of cannibals somewhere on the interwebs. The problem becomes on deciding on what is crazy, as once you're "pigeon holed" in picking a side, the pack forces you to label the other camp as completely crazy and your camp as a ray of clarity and hope. And that's my biggest concern with any absolutes, including freedom of speech. Sure we can provide uncensorable platform on blockchain, but what do we do if a new charismatic leader, Hilter 2.0, or ISIS start dominating and spreading like wildfire, their primary directive is not to listen to "Intelligentsia" ignore educators and burn any literature not approved by the benevolent leader? Think there's enough rational people to not let them reach a critical mass? |

lets say he lost his password for 7002 coins. I would think that he could toss 1,000,000 usd at it to crack the password. 7002 x 33000 = 231 million plus Why can't a 1:1 sector image of the drive be taken to allow for more attempts? This ^ * *didn't RTFA |

Just received an email from Ledger wich looks legit since it's coming from Ledger.com. I dont exactly understand what they mean here? FINALLY, keeping you secure is our reason for existing. We will soon release a technical solution that will remove the 24 words as the single pillar of the security of our hardware wallets and will open the door to funds insurance. Is it possible that hackers can figure out the 24 phrase and steal the coins? No, next question. Any other solution can only shift liability at a cost of introducing new attack vectors. e.g. insured multisig at a cost of judge having the right to overwrite etc... |

I hear you repeating it but it doesn't make it any more "truer". So if he "succeeds" and judicial branch/supreme court is ignored, the leader of loosing minority is forced upon the majority pretty much destroying the institution of democracy in US everything will be fine? Right? riiight???
... I hear you repeating the MSM falsehood that the election fraud allegations were heard in the courts, "judicial system reviews" ... they weren't (might blow your tiny mind a little). There were no evidentiary hearings, all the cases were booted out before any evidentiary stages on various grounds, "no standing", "not our jurisdiction", etc, etc ... basically the courts have punted on getting involved ... dyor. They weren't because there was no basis/ no legal standing. Meaning you have no case, don't waste court's time. Or do you have other ideas why republican leaning supreme court with conservative leaning justices 3 of which were appointed by Trump didn't take up the case did Soros got to them? Shit and looks like "they" got to Pence too, and now to Mitch McConnell as well? Seems like once people are pigeon holed into picking sides, majority go into "us vs. them" friend-or-foe mode, where their abilities at critical thinking goes out the window. https://youtu.be/fNS4lecOaAcOverall, I find the orange man laughable, but at the same time i have no issue taking his side on censorship and being against big tech colluding to blacklist Parler. Guess i'm the minority that's able to think across the made up lines |

I still think that we should avoid too much politics here (some is probably unavoidable).
It's unavoidable. Trump has only 8 days left to save America! If he fails this country will enter the most brutal dictatorship the world has ever seen. Does "save" here means to ignore the will of the majority, ignore decision of the judicial branch with the judges appointed by Trump, and in essence for loosing minority to commit a coup d'état while expecting the 81 million majority to idly stand by? Well, prepare to be disappointed. Edit: Or do you mean to admit defeat, concede to Biden and try to unite the nation by deescalating the situation and reaching out to his base? If Trump fails we can do nothing but only watch how American Bolsheviks will unite the nation! I hear you repeating it but it doesn't make it any more "truer". So if he "succeeds" and judicial branch/supreme court is ignored, the leader of loosing minority is forced upon the majority pretty much destroying the institution of democracy in US everything will be fine? Right? riiight??? |

Last night, I congratulated Donald Trump and offered to work with him on behalf of our country. I hope that he will be a successful president for all Americans. This is not the outcome we wanted or we worked so hard for and I’m sorry that we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country.
...
Our campaign was never about one person or even one election, it was about the country we love and about building an America that’s hopeful, inclusive and big-hearted.
We have seen that our nation is more deeply divided than we thought. But I still believe in America and I always will. And if you do, then we must accept this result and then look to the future. Donald Trump is going to be our president. We owe him an open mind and the chance to lead.
Oh wait no that's Clinton conceding to Trump, yeah fuck that there's no personal gain for Trump in uniting the nation burn baby burn |

Some dirty rotten whale is dumping Bitcoin and pumping *******trash.
All those alts mine/hold BTC, that's how they attempt to peg their values to BTC, otherwise they'd have to spend real cash to match BTC inflows. Bitant is a prime example of that, when they published their holdings their BTC balance constantly was going down. Just think how many BTC they could've had if they stopped dumping to keep those shitcoins on life support. looks like btrash hit ATL against BTC 2 days ago, so another round of injections was necessary. But that's a good thing, you don't want them hoarding huge BTC stashes, that's what distribution looks like |

do you think Biden tries to charge Trump
...
If i was the orange man that'd be my number 1 risk, to mitigate, first i'd try to negotiate a pardon from Biden. Failing at that, i'd try to extend and radicalize my base as much as possible, to make the charge against me as costly as possible (if i split GOP party at it so be it, numero uno is the priority) |

This is gross! ... Who uses Handcuffs? I'd go for cable ties... If only Notlambchop could see us now She'd be jealous. Best she could come up with was Lemon Party and a few other geriatric pics. I'd be happy to buy at any of the prices she was taking the piss out of. You could buy sub $400 Bitcoins back then, and soon they will be $40k+ Bitcoins.  She should have been buying instead of posting this stupid gif interspersed with geriatric pics all day every day. Oh man this brings back memories, lambie was constantly rubbing it in with these. Edit: need to learn to read before replying |
