Only +84%? Somethin' ain't right...

From Wekkel's article (don't know if posted here before):

"WTF! $7.5 billion in stolen #Bitcoin from the 2016 Bitfinex hack has just been moved for the first time in 5 years."

Einstein said time is relative. Reading WO proves this. Away for 1 day due to super-crazy stuff happening at work. Came back and saw the flood of posts. Time is relative indeed!

Managed to observe BTC price from my phone. We had a "dip inside a DIP", and are now nicely recovering. IOW, business as usual. Honey badger was bitten by a cobra and is now recovering. Poor thing (the cobra).

Lots of fine posts here, by the usual quality WO residents. You know who you are. +WOsMerits to you all.

I see the occasional trolls are ever present, shilling shitcoins, especially during times of "crisis" (as if...). Again, you know who you are. Fuck you.

A true HoDLer knows how to separate the signal from the noise. Price charts are user-adjustable digital filters in disguise, and can do all the work for those who know how to use them. All that's needed is to lower the cutoff frequency (a.k.a. Zoom Out^TM). That's why long-horizon moving averages, such as the 52/208-week MA, are such good indicators. But what do the noobs and weak hands do? They zoom in and get rekt by the white noise. I guess it's a kind of Darwinian "survival of the fittest" principle. Maybe it's a good thing.

The future of a random or unknown process cannot be predicted, but Bitcoin is neither random nor unknown. Satoshi Nakamoto has given us inside information since its inception and for the next 120 years. Use it!

Exactly!

No big deal IMHO. Just wait it out.

Guys ('n' gal), its all OK, if you were "fuck you" rich @ $63k, you're still "fuck you" rich @ $55k. And if you weren't, you still aren't.

All is fine. Just HoDL. Works every time.

I've been saying this for years... Few, if any, listen, because "it's too expensive".

Damn. My cousin (the altcoiner I'm meeting tomorrow), once had nearly 1 million DOGE. At that time he said he would not touch them until the thing pumped. He ended up selling them early and without much profit. Now he has none. I guess it's a roll of the dice. For some it works, for most it doesn't.

The only sure thing is to buy Bitcoin.
Tried, tested and proven by math & science.
And no, llamas cannot sing.

Edit:

Some lucky guy will buy cheap tomorrow.
As for the rest of us: how does it feel to be poor, motherfuckers?

I wish MMs could be transferred OTA like Bitcoin. I'm sure you guys would send me some.

MMcoin — true hash-powered crypto.

I think maybe they were pieces of big mushrooms. The guy had lots of them in a metal box in his room. I saw him opening the box and there were hundreds of these pea-sized pieces in there. Maybe he split them into equally-sized parts to control the dosage, hence the 25+ for visuals.

Back on topic, ant-pumping in progress as The Dude has pointed out. Looks nice. Let's keep this up to $70k+ please...

Good advice, thanks!

About MM, I think the guy gave us either 15 of 25 pieces, can't remember exactly. Was for free (he lived in the dorm too). They didn't really look like big mushrooms or anything. They were small (pea-sized or smaller), dark and dry, with rough shape. So we took either 7 or 12 each. Swallowed with water. Neither of us felt anything. I think the guy said that from 25+ (or was it 50+) you get visuals.

Shit guys, if there's no 7 in front anytime soon, I'll die of boredom.

Wow, I'm intrigued, OOM. You are a weed connoisseur.

Okay, let me say this: the thing I said earlier about not having smoked in my entire life was not 100% true. I've smoked once. And it was cannabis! Yes! When in college, and next to a gorgeous girl, in her dorm room. Great times. Nirvana's Nevermind playing on a cassette tape, and we were smoking one joint at a time, passing it between us. Earlier there was another girl that prepared the joints for us. She was an expert. She mixed normal tobacco with the cannabis stuff, and rolled them. I was, still am, a newbie in this sort of thing. If it was me, I would have put all the cannabis in! We had a great time. I remember feeling like I was inside a rocket flying high, accelerating upwards. If only I could turn back time...

And I've also "eaten" magic mushrooms. Yes! Are you supposed to eat them? That's what I think the guy that gave them to us said. Anyway, we made the mistake of splitting one dose between me and her. Didn't feel a thing. Never tried anything ever again. I saw a comment by a WOer here a couple of days ago, about mushrooms defragmenting your brain. That sounds so cool, as my brain needs some serious defragmenting, I can feel it. But I don't know where to get them...

OOM, if there's anything related and you don't mind, I'll be PMing you.

All dust attacks are exactly 0.00000547 BTC, some are from the same address, but not all. That's around $0.34 per dust particle. I guess it would cost more to send than it's worth...

Not metal, laminated paper, but something like that, yes.

I see your point and I agree, just can't be bothered right now. Maybe when we hit $100k. Oh wait, that's this year, right?

Good article, thanks. Answered all my questions perfectly. Merited.

Looking forward to SatoshiLabs adding Coin Control to Trezor Wallet. Not in a hurry to spend my coins anyway, and when I start using them, it will be very low amounts, like a monthly refill to my fiat wallet, to cover various monthly expenses. I can't Imagine myself ever selling more that 0.1 BTC in one go, and this amount decreases as BTC/USD value increases.

I thought about that, but it's a lot of work, for something that can happen again in the new wallet. My cold wallet is now very securely backed up and I'll have to redo everything if I change wallets. I might do it at some point, but right now it's just too much work.

I think I'll wait for SatoshiLabs to add Coin Control to Trezor Wallet (thanks 20kevin20), and then mark all of the attack dust as "do not spend". Will see how this works out and take it from there.

I keep receiving dust amounts of BTC in my cold wallet. They're for 0.00000547 BTC each, and come every other month or so. I remember reading here that they are used by some entities (who are they?) to 'mark' our wallets and track the movement of our coins.

I read that these small amounts can be marked as "do not spend", so they are not moved together with our own coins. I believe Electrum can do it. But what about Trezor? Is there a way to do this in Trezor?

Any comments, info, pointers, are appreciated. Is this something serious enough to be concerned about?

I'm against smoking in general, but the way you describe vaping makes me want to try it. I see colleagues and friends with these vaping machines that look so high-tech, like some kind of weapon that came out of an alien ship or something. OLED displays, coil resistances, wattage, energy reserves. 

I've never smoked in my entire life.

My father was a heavy smoker (3-4 packets / day). He died from it (lung cancer).

One time, when I was in my early teens, my father called on me to talk to me. He said: "Son, if you want to start smoking, I won't stop you. But let me show you something." He then took his cigarette, he filled his lungs with smoke, and then he took a white napkin and exhaled onto it. The napkin turned deep yellow. He said: "That's what you do to yourself when you smoke. Now, you do whatever you want, it's up to you."

Since then, I've never even remotely considered the possibility of starting smoking.

I like the retro 'puter h/w theme.

This should be the next one:



It's a power-of-2 thing. It's cool, it's nerdy, it's exponential, and it will change everything.
