“They have no clue”

February 09, 2019, 02:30:48 PM

So, I had drinks this evening with a lawyer I am looking to engage for some IP/EULA work for a project I'm working on, and when it came to discussion about a retainer, I asked "Do you accept Bitcoin ?"

 The dude's eyeballs went nuclear.

 He had heard about it, but was begging for more information.
[...]
 Point being, I turned on a new, young lawyer, onto Bitcoin today, and holy shit was the dude ever interested, and "saw the big picture" with crypto.

 Today was a good day.

love it when i get to open someones eyes to BTC

rearranged some stuff with my new financial guy (basically we fired the old one a few years back) , when i 1st met him and told him about my btc stack and its worth he said i should sell most of it. and to be honest if he DIDNT recommend that i would of fired him on the spot. after all, thats his job; pointing out potential financial mistakes.

but he was fascinated with it. we talk about it every time i see him.

and btw i mentioned to him about having anyone invest ~1% of ones finical worth in btc is a good move if you dont mind possibly losing. as it has a very limited downside (only the actual cost of what one bought) and possibly an insane profit.

we kid about how most all our investments are in the low risk category.. as i tell him the crazy risky stuff (btc) i have covered  Grin



i'm not lying when i say man friend has his "crypto fund" (more some buying and hodling most of it in BTC, and some alt's to accumulate etc)
main point is he started i thought middle of august 2017, i didn't had to invest there cause HODL myself and he helped me with everything, but I did just for support.
Now the thing is when invested there was a minimum of 5K, and from when invested the thing was to have a LONG TERM perspective and only once a year you could go out of the fund.
I have entered (seriously NO lying here) +_40-50 people in through me, of-course their is family their, and I count as well when my best friend got in and he's friend went in (thats counted as my doing)
after the first few months their was this massive BULLrun everybody was SUPER excited and nobody was complaining (nowadays everybody that was in that early said @20K i would have been out if it was possible or took my investment +some profit etc, all talking after the drop of-course)

still main point is still new people getting in, and only 2 of the entire fund have exit it !!!!
so thats nothing..... now most people are in red or close to i thing.... but some are seeing the chance to put some extra in it, or just getting in it....
(also I do convince people and explain the risks very well...... and have nothing of fee or anything, just try to get people into BTC)
we all doing our part I guess Smiley
Now one thing my friend did change was the yearly going out position... and now every Q people can take some action, I still tell everyone to stay in for several years, but as we know people are strange beings from time to time and with money/wealth on the line.
of-course its not the biggest people investing in it, but mainly 5-10K investment, and a few with +- 30K or something.
but still all n00b started peoples and then its still a big risk for many.

@bitserve, here I actualy was a sales man with 0 gains Roll Eyes But still happy I get some people to know BITCOIN Smiley

Don't forget that LTC is BTC's testnet, after it's own testnet. It's a testnet on a mainnet. The devs of both coins do contribute to each other's development, and of course anything the forks do, BTC can always get it (except maybe insanely large block sizes or stuff that caused the fork in the first place.)

My favorite moment was in 2013 to 2014 when I doubled my money, I bought LTC at $10, then sold it for $20. LOL... Maybe should have bought more then and just HODL it.

Good work again sir!

Do you still have my original image? Maybe get mine updated too, the new 3D ones and the LN hat are looking more than awesome Smiley

 Thanks!
 I'll have to look through my files to know for sure but I don't believe I would have deleted it.  I'll see what I can come up with Smiley

Vegeta looks very cool on this hat.
xhomerx10, did you make a hat for LoyceV?

I made an animated hat for him. I would like to hear your opinion.

 Not bad!  A little rough along the edges of the patch though and again if you want the patch to look realistic, you have to use multiply or grain merge (sometimes I use grain extract as well but you have to invert the colours first) to apply the layer.  Create a new hat layer for each layer of animation and merge them. Those layers become the frames of your animation.  Obviously I'm just telling you what I do - you will obviously have your own style and that's a good thing; embrace it!

If it's a cheat day then a couple of beers won't hurt either, cheers!

Thanks for the opinion and tips. I use a slightly different technique. I will not describe it, because my English can not convey what I want.

Edit:
I like it, but I hate seeing animated avatars (therefore I set "image.animation_mode" in Firefox to "once"), so I don't want to wear it Tongue I don't want the animations on my avatar to distract/annoy other users.
Other than that, I like it. It's quite subtle and not animating too much.

(Also realr0ach has good comments on "some occasions")

I would say "good comments" from Roach is a rare event.  Perhaps since he posts so much, the appearance of such "good comments" could be felt to be happening more frequently than reality, based on quantity.... hahahahahahaha    Cheesy Cheesy  In other words, roach is competing for the wordy man title.  Go roach.  Wink

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
This snapshot is from February 2015 when Btc was $230. Only 64.000 people addresses had more than $10k in bitcoin.

Unless you are in possession of some magic methodology linking addresses to users, your statement is probably inaccurate. By huge margins.

Of course, without such Magic Methodology, there is no way to know with any confidence.

Well, yeah there is a bit of a problem with the linking of address to people issue, but also most BIGGER holders don't always reuse the same addresses, either - especially in recent times with more flexible address generation software that comes with a variety of new wallets.  Active users could reasonably generate hundreds or even thousand addresses in a year.

Actually Mic, I have been dry since before Yule, almost 2 months.

However, we are all snowed in here, 20cm in the last day, very rare, and BTC is looking up.  Perhaps this would be a good day for a wee nip.
