Well, normally I save my files as jpg because... I'm old.  There is no transparency for jpg and GIF doesn't have the level of colours I need so it would mean learning something new.  I'm not averse to learning but I think I'm getting to the point where learning something new comes at the expense of forgetting something (I've run out of the human cognitive equivalent of a computer's RAM) so it's really fear that keeps me from removing the white.  I'll try to grow a pair and learn how to adapt and remove the white.... but it might take some time

The real bottom will be in when everyone forgets about masterluc.

Police found video showing Smollett entering into his building with what appears to be a rope tied around his neck, police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told CNN.

"It was being worn like a neck tie but shaped like a noose," Guglielmi said.

Just for fun, I'd like to make an additional prediction: Jan 8 for the date of the highest price.

The 52-year-old man was busted in the forest carrying a bag with about 13kg (29lbs) of gold in the form of bullions and "non-uniform powder", the local branch of the FSB told journalists. The market worth of the treasure is estimated at over $500,000. The man, who failed to explain how he came into possession of the gold, is facing up to five years in prison for illegal possession of the metal.

Yakutia, also known as the Republic of Sakha, is one of the biggest centers of gold extraction and processing in Russia. However regulations on precious metals and gemstones are pretty restrictive - a measure meant to limit theft, unlicensed prospecting, as well as their use for payment for illegal activities. Individuals may possess them, but only as jewelry or as bullions purchased through a bank.

Still some people answer the age-old call of gold, either hoping to legalize their treasures in some way or simply hoping that the restrictions would be lifted someday. Just a week ago a man in Yakutia was sentenced to two years in prison for illegal possession of over 28kg (62lbs) of the metal, which he claimed to have purchased from a stranger he never saw again, RIA Novosti reported.

It only appears that way because this happens to be a niche that you are particularly educated on. It's the same for every other subject too. Remember this when you are listening to "journalism" on some subject you aren't that knowledgeable on. If you were more knowledgeable on that subject it would sound just as bad as it does for the thing you are knowledgeable on.

You type too fast for me, Phil_S.  I had edited my above responsive post with the below information, and I guess I am just throwing around ideas, too.

Does your line start in 2013 (as shown in the chart)?  or does your line still apply very well to BTC prices if you go back further for context?  Maybe starting in 2011 would skew your line too much?

3.  I don’t know shit about the Skripals but I do know that Putin doesn’t give a damn about human rights and will happily kill anyone that presents the faintest threat.  

For this to make sense, am I to assume, according to this twatter consipracy theory expert you quote, that 2 Russian GRU officers being there were merely 'visiting Salisbury to admire cathedral spire' and had nothing to do with what happened while they were there?

haha. Salisbury is and was then packed with army medics, so his probability analysis is off.
