Elon Musk sell-off,
Had no casualties, they said.
Luna? Celsius?

It worked out alright.
Price slowly recovering,
Without those fuckers.

So, stack sats and HoDL.
And if you still don't get it,
I offer no hope...

Oh no! Not again...

He should change his nick to PlanC.

I loved his S2F model back when it fitted the data, was hoping for $100k by end of 2021, and still wish it to somehow become valid again. Will it?

Thanks for this link. Very interesting case. As much as most people hate the secret services, FBI, CIA, etc., I must give praise to the investigative work of the FBI in this and other similar cases.

realise just how important those little chips are...

I can picture AlcoHoDL roaming around the office for the next 6 months..  maybe taking some of the OPsec outfit measures from the earlier post....

"Here little chip."  
"Here little chip."
"Here little chip."

 Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Not office, laboratory.

Haha, yeah, they are sooooo cute. Those chips are like little Mona Lisas, true works of art. The ARM architecture is one of the most elegant designs out there. You've got to be into this line of work to appreciate it though, unlike the true Mona Lisa (which, I've got to admit, didn't impress me much when I saw it in that glass enclosure in the Louvre). But that ARM chip... Beautiful!

The Biggest Bitcoin Whale just sold 15,500 BTC today.

Seems like a stupid move to sell at such low prices. Either they are short of fiat cash, or they know something we don't.

In any case, I can't even imagine myself selling a single sat right now. If anything, I'd buy more if I could (bank is currently blocking my transfers to Kraken).

I still haven't got the Raspberry PI I wanted to get started with lightning.
Backordered.
I suspect there simply aren't any to be had right now.

I think this may be due to the current global semiconductor shortage. I'm also waiting for an ARM Cortex-M7 MCU board to be available for a project at work, and was told lead time is currently January 2023. It's in times like this when you realise just how important those little chips are...

Pointless post follows -- skip if you're looking for serious TA/charts/predictions.

BBQ with cousin & friends tonight. One is a coiner (sadly, of the crapto variety). In 2017 I talked to him about Bitcoin, but he ended up becoming a shitcoiner out of get-rich-quick greed and falling for the "too expensive" trap. After 5 years of 24/7 chart-watching/day-trading (installed monitors in bedroom, kitchen and bathroom), he's still not rich, just a bit better off. Of his $5k initial investment, he bought some small piece of land (worth $10k) and a 75" TV, and was left with the $5k he started with -- I've already talked about his case here in WO -- not that anyone cares, but it can serve as a lesson to some, if Jay's batslappenings are not enough. Now, cousin focuses on what he does best: handle the meat/BBQ matters (he's really good at that). I just go there for the good company (they're all great guys/gals) and to eat. Easy life. Thank you, Bitcoin.

It feels like we might have "battomed out". Just tried to send $10k to Kraken to BTFD, but bank says "recipient account blocked". Tried the remaining 3 IBANs. Still blocked. Tried $5k. Still blocked. Fuck you, fiat system. Looks like I will have to open another account on some crypto-friendly bank.

Can't wait to re-read the current WO posts in 2025, by which time we'll be in 6 digits and slowly marching towards the $million/coin mark. There will be dips along the way, but hey, what's new? The $100k party is already so last year... The $million party will be so awesome. There won't be any OPSEC issues, as we'll all be meeting in Bob's Virtual Ranch using our $10k VR gear, which will stimulate all 5 (6?) senses to the point of not being able to tell the difference from RL. The only remnants of the past will be BitcoinTalk, which will still be powered by SMF 1.1.19, and proudhon, who will still be predicting doom and gloom backed by math & science (and still be the party's biggest whale).

Aim for 1 BTC (not less than that, more if you can).

Which public #bitcoin miners will be the winners and losers of the bear market?

A Twitter thread by Jason Mallory

Some good miner analysis there. I found it at the end of the interesting thread posted here.

Celsius...

Suggestion for the next poll:

Have you ever transferred (some of) your BTC to Celsius?

1. Yes, my entire stash.
2. Yes, a percentage of my stash.
3. NO! Not your keys, not your coins!


Anonymous poll.

I wonder what the result would be...

Well there was at least one douchebag peddling that shitty company here in WO over the last 18 months.

Either that person got rekt or was an inside shill.

So option 1. in your poll should have at least one upvote or that person has either left WO for good / can't access it because they are behind bars or is a completely dishonest fuckface.

Yes, I do remember someone mentioning Celsius and a couple of other similar-type sites. Can't remember who it was, and the forum's search engine is not so good in finding old posts.

I also remember some of us giving the usual "not your keys..." reply. I hope s/he listened to us.

I wonder... Bitcoin itself offers huge gains, if one is willing to wait for a while. How greedy can one get, to not be satisfied by this, and to want even more gains, at the risk of losing it all?

Greed squared?

Absolutely. Could be a shiller with another shiller pretend asking questions etc. It would be easily done here.
But some, even a lurker, could have gotten duped.

Too much greed will get you rekt absolutely.

Watched a movie called War Dogs the other day. Based on a true story.

[...]

Downloading as we speak Downloaded. Thanks for the movie suggestion.

Agreed re. Celsius etc. The problem with most people is that they want to "get rich quick", instead of simply aiming to "get rich", and they almost always end up getting poor (or staying poor).

@Dabs: I don't know if it was you, can't remember. If it was you, I hope you weren't affected by the recent events.

My golden rule: there is no free lunch is this universe. Don't fall for what looks too good to be true, because it almost always is. Even Bitcoin could be called "too good to be true" by those who do not understand it. It is one of the few exceptions to this rule.

Well.. the lump sum buying and just waiting can work, but it tends to make people nervous..

that is why lump sum might be better if it is supplemented with DCA and maybe even buying on dip..

[...]

I've always lump-sum-bought and HoDLed. Except that the lump sums were coming every few months from 2015 onwards. Is that called DCA? I never really looked at the price, fiat never stayed in my hands or the exchange for more than a few days. Market buys only. Has worked out well for me. Average break-even price is under $2k.

I guess I got lucky, going in at the deep dip of 2015. Thank you, Andreas Antonopoulos, that talk of yours that I watched was so enlightening that I did not sleep that night. I had to find a way to buy. And I did. At a local Bitcoin ATM. Great times.

tl;dr: There is no top. Seriously. Buy now. Buy Bitcoin. HoDL.

Damn I'm legendary guys! Somebody has been really generous recently! Need to check my merits.  Grin

P.S. nutildah, my man, thanks for the merits! Also all other brethren who merited me often (won't be mentioning any names/accounts you know who you are)  Cool

Congrats! Well deserved.

Cool  Cocaine & hookers. SOON!  Cool

We can have death by dunking.

ps - I love Proudhon, and , also, I grew to admire certain aspects of LambChop too

I agree about proudhon. I don't have an opinion about (Not?)LambChop (is this the correct nick?) I was not much around the forum/WO when s/he was active.

There's something about that llama/alpaca though. I want to pet and cuddle it, and then squeeze its neck until it chokes to death!

Observation:

Nocoiners, lowcoiners, shitcoiners, mindrusters, et al., are usually the ones that talk too much*, directly or indirectly bashing Bitcoin, insinuating its destruction, and posting smartass funny comments about it, perhaps subconsciously trying to amuse themselves and ease the incoming pain they're all going to have to take. And that's a lot of pain. We're talking PAIN... The thick, flaky, rusty pipe kind of pain...

The HoDLers just chill, relax and patiently wait for the inevitable mega-UPpity, while stacking sats whenever they can. They know their coins are precious and would not part with them no matter what.

Life's good.

HoDL.

* I must exclude Jay, who always talks a lot (and is a HoDLer--and has something to say--most of the time--#no-homo, you fuck!)

Are there any nocoiners or low coiners here in this thread that bash Bitcoin and talk a lot about it (bashing Bitcoin) ?

Who do you mean?

I mean Death_wish talks a lot, has lost some of his BTC recently, but obviously has much love , and technical understanding of BTC, far more so than many most others here....and I have never seen him bash BTC, maybe talk about potential ways of improving it somehow but other than that...

I am a tad confused who you mean?

(I see hardly any or even no longterm, consistent posters here that "bash" bitcoin" ?)

Proudhon?

Lambchop? (is she still alive?)

death_wish is obviously excluded. They know who they are. Bashing need not be direct. Read between the lines. They are there.

proudhon is a sweetheart. I like it when s/he posts. It's usually an incoming pump indicator.

Space tech porn, indeed, but I think you meant extremely high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (or I'm still drunk, as Jay would say...).

Of fucking course, mate  Shocked
I had a busy afternoon and that what it looks like afterwards  Roll Eyes
Thanks for pointing out my mistake  Cool

Not a problem. High, low, anyone who knows what SNR is will understand exactly what you meant. Just pointed out the semantics.

Edit: Just for the record, death_wish is also excluded. And by "talk too much" I don't just mean long posts, but many posts. They know who they are, and they will soon feel the pain. The rusty pipe, train-in-your-ass kind of pain...
