Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[infofront]

The energy of the sun, stored as ideas, traded as value.

Metapost: I've been sorta-kinda looking into the idea of having my cremated ashes loaded onto a rocket, and shot into Sol, upon my passing. Rick will get at least 50% of my ashes, tho.

Can't be done for less than ~$5M USD at this time - for the sake of argument.

Then I think about how much that $5M could be put to use supporting my sibling's children.

But what if they turn out to be "unworthy" of what I leave behind ? What if my nieces and nephews turn out to be complete degenerates (hey you, stop snickering. I know what you are thinking) and don't deserve 50% of my estate ?

First World Problems.

EDIT: Also, depression has set in again. About to crack open beer #5. Bleh. What toy to play with next in my studio...

I understand this problem, and worry about the same things with my very own kids.  I also don't want to leave them with something that stops them from becoming fulfilled.

As to the studio gear... it's weird.  For my professional career I was UAD guy.  But recently I have been collecting Waves plugins. Their new pricing model is appealing.  S/W not H/W, but I have enough gear for now...  not as nice as some of your stuff... but ah well...

I like the idea of a trust fund. One idea is just to have it match whatever the kids make, dollar per dollar, if they're working. If they're not working, it pays out the equivalent of what they'd get from unemployment benefits.

Oh great now we are going back down. Reaaally should have thought twice before dropping acid. Also I really should not be anywhere near bitmex right now. You guys need to keep reminding me not to sell, ok?

Did you know what everything we use as energy is really just a product of our sun?  All the energy we store up and change from one form to another, blowing pinwheels that produce our electricity.  Even the power that is spent mining bitcoins, which are just an idea bound by math (which is just another idea), comes from the sun.

All you know and love, The fundamental building blocks you are made of, are popping in and out of existence all the time. Can you imagine that? Sometimes you exist, sometimes you don't. In fact, the entire universe just popped into existence. It should have popped out again, but for some reason we don't know yet, there was an imbalance between matter and antimatter. Matter and antimatter should have canceled each other out. But here we are, living in a world that is expanding faster and faster. What happens when the expansion starts slowing down? Or stops? You are the universe observing itself and asking these questions.


OK I am freaking out. Gunna go clean the bathroom. When you guys drop acid do your fingertips get cold too?

What was before the universe popped into existence? Where did the matter and dark matter come from? Can there be life made of dark matter, where matter is the "mysterious" one? I doubt things are really over with us expanding into oblivion, where protons, neutrons and electrons never meet again, there might be just a new start, maybe in a totally different way. I also doubt that water only is the single source of life like mainstream science suggests, there might be endless possibilities. One thing is for sure, universe is full of life. Brain goes on fire thinking of that subject, guess it's too much to cope with.

The whole body seems to get a bit colder when dropping acid, that might be just due to overall rise in sensitivity. Good to know there are some other psychonauts around here

A while back, there was the idea being thrown around of a WO Vegas party to celebrate $100K.  Instead, we could all just meet up wearing our avatar hats and drop acid. What could go wrong?

The heads in this forum united together on acid? It might be even more revolutionary than Bitcoin itself. The hats would probably give an extra brain boost

Of course, you can draw lines however you like, but I find it a bit less realistic and predictive if you start from the extreme top, because the top was such an extreme (not conceding blow off top yet, except as a short term blow off top... which was about a two months time period that arguably provided the base for that), so perhaps, instead the top of the resistance line might start from the $15k territory or so and therefore end up touching more of the subsequent BTC price peaks (early march and early may, for example)?

Whatever works for you and produces actionable data.  

For me, our failure to break away from the red long term downtrend line (so far) tells me we are still in a bear market.  That’s all I need to know.

Actually, given the seeming ongoing softfork preferences of core (and seemingly the vast majority of the bitcoin community), it seems that options are largely going to be available

Exactly backwards. Soft forks do not provide options. Nay, soft forks are mandatory go-along-to-get-alongs.

For my professional career I was UAD guy.  But recently I have been collecting Waves plugins. Their new pricing model is appealing.  S/W not H/W...

H/W too. Add some flavor of SoundGrid server, and you've got HW acceleration just like the UAD stuff. And networked IO to boot.

fake!

This one is more better.

I like that hat, except I am a little bothered about the negative connotations of the phraseology - ("bitcoin getting forked since 2017") - even though it is factually true.

The essential tentative conclusion of Bitcoin's current forking matter does remain to be that Bitcoin's forking cherry was popped in mid-2017 with the bcash forkening.  Even though that bcash forkening had some purported legitimate reasons, it has largely been used as an attack vector on bitcoin, and also attempts to make some quickie profits from bitcoin's good will (whether successful or not in regards to profits is going to vary from person to person and perhaps regarding the extent to which they used other capital or even real BTC to buy into the shitty bcash snake oil).

So, even if forks had been started on bitcoin in mid-2017 with a lot of imitation variations to follow, these forks have largely shown bitcoin to be quite resilient to that level and kind of bullshiteries, and likely has caused bitcoin to become stronger and the forks to become less valuable (and even laughable).

So the connotation of your hat slogan ("bitcoin getting forked since 2017") seems to mislead about the non-power of the fork within bitcoin and the likely need for any future fork to attempt ramp up their efforts a whole hell-of-a lot more if they really expect to have any semblance of success - seemingly an uphill battle, including a likely inability to overcome (or even come close to) bitcoin in any of the 7 networking effects.  No one with any kind of real and meaningful knowledge in bitcoin really takes the fork threat in bitcoin seriously these days, and perhaps we can thank the stupid-ass bumbling fuckery of the bcash leaders along with the non-successful multiple copy catters, who largely have any real world value beyond merely serving as nominal testing ground platforms for the real deal , aka bitcoin.

By the way, leetlzee, from your earlier forum posts, I had not realized that you are one of those BIG blocker fucktards who are whining about the direction of bitcoin and think that you have some supposedly better ideas, without necessarily figuring out a way in which you might be able to work towards submitting a BIP or getting someone to submit a BIP, instead of serving as a nonsense FUD spreader.

Sounds like someone is insecure and overcompensating.

Sounds like someone doesn't know their memes.

Whoa! Nice hat Yefi!

Gotta love this thread.

edit: I retract my statement about you fine gentleman raping me (I know you still would though).

Whoa! Nice hat Yefi!

What if it all reverses into another big bang? Big crunch theory. So many things make sense right now.

I sent an E-mail to Amazon. A small "whitepaper" with a list of pros and cons of a cryptocurrency payment option in internet retail and a sentence at the end questioning Jeff Bezos moral integrity. I am getting off my laptop before I buy ADA. See you guy tomorrow.

BTW, you guys have been killing me but I'm trying to give out merits to deserving n00bs ATM.
