Funny, i was just thinking how we hadn't heard from him in awhile

I hear some people are looking to go back to the moon

I read hundreds if not thousands of posts about that around 1990 in the old sci.space forum. People were confident that in a couple of years one could launch and assemble a self-sufficient Moon base, distilling oxygen from rocks with solar power and mining helium-3 for export, if only the politicians saw the light.

But those plans were technically unfeasible at the time, of course. How could one go to the Moon without Bitcoin?

Perhaps he got too close with the Brock Pierce investigation!

Just checked the 1 hour chart. Was there a 800 buy a hour ago? The price didn't react.
I can't believe we're dropping below 630 again. Non stop selling.

The correct action then, is not to short BTC (which continues its inexorable exponential rise) but to short mankind, which apparently peaked around 1969.

LOL on shorting mankind. What happened in 1969?

I think '71 was the year Nixon severed the dollar from silver once and for all.

From gold.  Silver certificates could no longer be redeemed for metal after 24 June 1968.

IIRC we made it to the moon in July of '69.  Also, I think the U.S. median standard of living peaked about that time.  

MLK Jr. was assassinated in 1968, Nixon elected, Timothy Leary arrested. Elvis went to Las Vegas.  AIDS came to the U.S.  Overall the end of the '60s was a very unfortunate turning point.
But the deathknell for mankind was undoubtedly captured on videotape, thusly:  What's New Pussycat?

Watch the moon astronauts first interview (beginning at about 1min25sec)
They knew the music had died and the disco era was about to be ushered in.
Either that or something funny happened on the way to the moon.

Perhaps he got too close with the Brock Pierce investigation!

Could be... he started poking into the dirty doings of some big shots like Pierce, then of some really big shots (of the kind that employs a dozen lawyer full-time), then of some really, really big shots (of the kind that appoints Supreme Court judges) ...  He may well have received a letter from a lawyer firm with a dozen names in its name.  He does not seem to be rich enough to afford a legal battle over that.

But, just before he left, he also had painted himself into an awkward corner over an old claim that he once lost over 1000 BTC in the InstaWallet "hack". He had been demanding refund from the InstaWallet ex-owner, but the ex-owner claims that there is no record of those BTC deposits in their database or the blockchain. (But, on the other hand, it seems quite possible that their search procedure was inadequate.) The InstaWallet ex-owner is an admin of this forum, by the way.  Phinneas offered a bounty for the return of even a small part of his BTC, but it was phrased in such a way that the thief could just give him that small part, minus the bounty, and walk away free with the rest: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=649176.0.
 
But also someone claimed that Phinneas owed him a refund for a used mining machine that he sold through an Internet auction and was damaged on arrival: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=667460.0.

And his last log-in is exactly three years and 1 day after his first one. Perhaps he realized that, and thought that it was a good time to quit the habit.

The market it´s getting ready for the 1000$ bubble. Very, very soon!

If past trends hold then the bubble will be much higher than $1000.

I like how optimistic this thread is right now

Sarcasm? U shorting?

I think that merely exponential growth is disappointing to the devotees of the super-exponential curve fit.

When you are disappointed in the performance of BTC/fiat, it means that you are shocked and saddened at how foolish and short-sighted are the other members of your species.

The correct action then, is not to short BTC (which continues its inexorable exponential rise) but to short mankind, which apparently peaked around 1969.

Dude, just the convergence of love and cosmic consciousness, that's all!  Remember Woodstock?  "Gonna get back to the land, and set my soul free." We are stardust, we are golden...

So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"

Still at a stable 630. This is keeping okay
Although, nothing to do until the next paycheck and throw some more fiat to the exchanges.

i'm hoping this is just some normal choppiness with a few weak hands getting shaken out before liftoff. i'd hate to see a retest of the $60x levels again, not sure how they'd hold up.
