Some guys seem to get so fucking obsessed over taxes and some of that bullshit that they fail/refuse to appreciate that they can live rich as fuck, and still pay taxes... and sometimes being overly focused on how to avoid taxes might put them into a category that the govt believes that they are evading taxes, and then being in that situation does not seem to be worth it, in my humble bumble thinking.

Just like we broke $20k, I think breaking 20k € will also be a major milestone. This will take us just short of $25k.

Currently at 18.8k €, just 1.2k € to go...

Onwards & upwards!

HoDL.

PLA is really wonderful... natural... biodegradable, but it has it's limits.  You certainly can't do firearms with it.   I did this great set of replacement knobs for my grill. So nice... Prusa silver with a little orange flame glued on them.  I loved them.  They fit so tightly (she whispered).  Until you used the grill.  They take enough ambient heat that the would get mushy... lol.  So I had to use PETG.  And I only had a sort of translucent blue.  Oh well... it's kinda comical looking, but they don't melt.

I built a Prusa 3 with my daughter... it was a LOT of fun.  There are cheaper printers out there for sure... but the quality of that thing. The engineering.  It's a work of art.

Very true... PLA is beautiful, and quite tough actually, but not good for outdoor and high temperature use. Printed parts can get mushy even when on a car dashboard on a hot summer's day. But there are other materials for such cases, like PETG as you've mentioned.

I think a 3D printer is the best present for kids, especially those with an inclination for engineering/technical stuff. For dads (and moms) out there: now you know what to buy your kids/nieces/nephews for Xmas!

Prusa make great printers, and the price difference is justified IMHO. Not that an Anycubic won't do the job, but a Prusa is a more refined product.

Oh no, not a dump for ants again!
1649  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: December 18, 2020, 08:47:40 PM

I bought Anycubic's newer Mega S. Prusa's are in the same range, afaik even better quality at the higher ended printers and have also good community support.
....

The Anycubic is an excellent choice! I've used it and it's one of the best VFM 3D printers out there. You just need to be comfortable with tweaking and tinkering with the h/w a bit, like you've already done. Printing with PLA, the output is on par with much more expensive printers. It's the more difficult/exotic materials that make the difference IMHO.

And based on Bitcoin's recent performance and expected 2021 price, you'd probably only need 0.1 BTC to get some of the best quality 3D printers out there...

Life's sweet for BTC HoDLers!

Yeah, the thing is a real bargain at 0.1 BTC (this includes a 1kg spool of excellent PLA). I switched to some *m*zon PLA for 0.0011 BTC per kg and that was a bad choice. The Anycubic PLA printed excellently, out of the box, while the cheap one gave me a hard time adjusting parameters to get mediocre results (like Arries mine replica). I always wanted to print ABS, ultimately for a DIY gun, so i came across PETG/CPE because of the fumes when printing ABS. This time i ordered from a specialized dealer.
I got into CNC about a year ago (or make it two, in case my mind fails on this again), and i was thinking quite often about 3DP, but always forgot about it again, mainly because my research for the "best" budget printer never came to an end - a different story.
However, for 0.1BTC this machine is excellent, in the meanwhile i got decent CPE results. And it seems to get "cheaper" over time as well. Thanks, Satoshi  Grin Grin Grin

Yeah, ABS is quite a nasty material to print with. I wouldn't even try it on the Anycubic. As for PLA, I always go for high quality stuff, usually sold in 750 g spools costing around $30 each. Have tried cheap ones ($20 / kg), but results were noticeably inferior, not worth the savings.

BTW, my 0.1 BTC comment was obviously not for the Anycubic—you can currently buy 10 Anycubics for that amount! Maybe you missed a zero in your post above. The Anycubic Mega S should now be around 0.01 BTC. My comment was that, in 2021, 0.1 BTC should easily buy you an Ultimaker S5-class 3D printer.

It seems that the Honey Badger likes 3D printers more that he does gay Xmas cards...

Or, probably, he just doesn't give a fuck...

I will probably buy a 3D printer when I sell at the coming top. But I dread having to learn the software, I hate computers and software stuff, I would rather just make a drawing by hand and pay someone to do the CAD drawing from that. The hardware stuff on the other hand, that I like.

OutOfMemory is right, I was thinking about my OPSEC. I think you should buy a good 3D printer. It's cheaper that way, as you'll be able to do so many more things exactly the way you want. Aside from the printer purchase, the cost is nothing really (I've just tried your mine and the printer reports around 16 hours of print time and a material cost of 4.90 €). You must be patient though, as you will need to tweak s/w parameters and tinker with the 3D models, but it's so rewarding it's totally worth the effort IMHO. I'm lucky enough to have access to a good 3D printer at my laboratory, so it's all free for me.

If I had that specific color filament, and the time to change the text language, I'd do it for you.

These are some good, cheap printers to start with: https://www.prusa3d.com

Edit: Sorry for the OT, just warming up for the next pump...  Grin

It's a "good" quality low price printer, but i instantly changed some things, like the cooling system and housing. I found out i better change the bushings of the guides of the heated bed, because they vibrate at higher speed. At least it's a low budget printer with heated bed made of glass, so once leveled, no maintenance and tape, glue or spray needed, no warping, good heat distribution.

If you want high quality and just start printing without modifications go for an Ultimaker, which are $2k and rising. Most of the quality of the prints is in the settings, though.

On topic: It looks like there are some traders taking profits into the christmas holidays. There's some good support a little below current $22.4k, next week we may observe another pump (i hope so). Boring times ahead?

Buying BTC at any time is smart.

The two booths do not co-exist in space-time. The people in the above drawing are still smart, albeit a little lagging.

The dumb people are those who refuse to buy, or who sell with no purpose other than to put fiat in a bank account.

Edit: My OCD...

Seeing whale calls of significant ($25M+USD) lots of coins being moved to exchanges.

Smells like a massive bloody turd gonna be cooked up pretty soon.

Sure hope not.

Isn't it just coins being moved from cold storage to meet the increasing demand?

Good point. I hope that's what it is.

It would be so cool to reach (and exceed) $25k by Christmas. This would break 20k € for us Euro-landers.

"If there was ever a Fear of Missing Out moment it was Wednesday afternoon when Bitcoin hit $20,000 and then just kept on going...."

In the video they are talking about consolidating 2021-2022 in the 500K-1mil range. Shocked This is institutional FOMO, gentlemen! We can't even count the companies who have already invested some spare cash (you know pocket money 100 mil to 1bil and more) as a hedge against inflation. This is just the beginning of a new era of mass adoption. Nobody is talking about 100K anymore  Grin. Overtaking gold, is also a modest prediction nowadays.

it is a phenomenon i have encountered several times through late 2020: mainstream press reporting about legacy finance suits being way more bullish than the regular WO bull.  how come they beat the WO in its very own discipline?  wrap your head around that.

first they laugh about you
then they become more bullish than you
then they buy your corn
do NOT let them win THAT easy

what you consider expensive and high price for them its just change. dirty fiat. they soon all want your corn.

keep your corn. let the zeros they add on their balance sheets, on their money printing, and on their offerings not fool you. nobody can add zeros to bitcoin. you own the sacred multiplier of it all. you own the keys to paradise. literally. fiat is rat poison. they want your corn.

Well said.

Just sell only the amount you need for a specific, immediate purpose. Selling just to put fiat in the bank is a huge mistake IMHO. Fiat should just be a transient phase that's only necessary to achieve a goal, not the target of the selling.

Dropping to $22k is so painful.
Can't even haiku.
So depressed...

It never dropped to $22k. The lowest it dropped was to over $22.3k.

Since the ATH it's been basically been consolidating around $23k.

Yeah, I know, it's just the damned $22xxx in front that is was spoiling the fun. Just joking, of course, it's already an excellent performance, and it will rise again soon. It's already trending slightly upwards again.

In mid-2020 I placed a fun bet (no monies involved) with a nocoiner friend, that BTC will reach 20000 € (around $24500) by Christmas. I do consider that I've essentially won, as it's almost there already, but I'd like the price to really reach and exceed that level by Christmas.

@Arriemoller: Arrie, I hope you didn't pay too much for that 3D printed mine, because it's not a good print job... If it wasn't for OPSEC, I could print one and send to you for free. Maybe some day...

In other news:

Don't care about gay.
Please, just go to $30k.
