you just open a single Lightning Network channel to them and it's the ONLY STORE YOU EVER SHOP AT for the rest of your life (your scenario where Lightning Network is actually useful).  Like I said, the whole channels bullshit is nothing but a vendor lock-in mechanism that would further the cause of corporate & banking monopolies.

Who's afraid of Amazon (or such) becoming a huge Lightning node? It would only be a Good Thing IMHO.

- More vendors - be it retailers or other kinds of business - would have to jump on the train. This would ignite LN adoption like few other events could.

- The advantage gained by Amazon as a retailer wouldn't be as big per se if others (every other business and their dog) jump on, but...

- You could send or receive funds to/from anyone who has their channel open with Amazon without opening a new ad-hoc channel. Connectivity and liquidity would go through the roof.

What I'm afraid would also happen as a consequence, though, is that governments would clamp on ramps in and out of the LN, at least for business activities over the radar line. LN transactions are too hard to trace and account: it's nothing like a public blockchain. So I suspect KYC/AML could become the real issue.

I guess we'll see...

Who let the dogs out?

2015 Fractal continues to break apart, in a most bullish, accelerative fashion.  According to HairyOfficialTA^TM, today is October 24, 2019.  Time flies when you are having fun.  

Edit:  it is also a very significant $6k resistance point but let's ignore that, because it is not a fun fact.

Meantime it looks like we hit 6k. I was listening to Bloomberg yesterday and they were saying shorts were very high with Bitcoin. When will we see them all implode?

Yes because BFX and Bitmex traders are upidstay.  We are going to explode up through $6k because day traders have an average IQ of 96.



This is the long short ratio which is at an All Time Low, meaning shorts are effectively at an All Time High.

Looks more and more like we may be mirroring something  closer to the 2012 fractal

CME Futures.  I have marked the bell that they ring at the bottom of every market.

7k tonight?

Looks like you be in a process to rejuvenate some optimism, here?

We had witnessed a few hairy days, in which you had revealed some kinks in your BTCxxx BTCxxx armor.... hahahahahahaha

 

Please sir, never a kink. Just thought the Baby Bull would have a healthy correction to 4200. Still think something of the sort is in the cards, but why not hit 7k first   as the Bitfinex troubles keep pumping the price. Only a baby for 2 more days, May 8 is coming

Although it looks like we're going straight up with no afterthoughts, I mostly agree with Lambie's view. Maybe 4.2k is starting to look a bit too far down, and the high 4k's are more likely as a correction target, but the gist of it is still valid IMHO.

Not a good day in court for Bitfinex they were denied their motion to vacate even though they had solid arguments. Kangaroo court appears to rule the day. I suspect we keep pumping hard as bulls are taking advantage of desperate customers paying a premium to pull out their Bitcoin, then when everyone who really wants out is out, we correct.

This. The volume is still quite tentative, with the occasional plump burst.

No way in hell is this Bull market ending rn though. This party will last years imo.

We're already in party rehearsal mode, man

It's not mirroring anything.

I think that with each wave of bitcoin hitting new ATH we get a stronger base of Hodlers.
The reason I say this is because each time we have held we have been rewarded with a much higher ATH.
This just convinces us (the Hodlers) that we have no reason to panic when the price drops since BTC has proven to us time and again that long term, price will be higher.
The more this happens the less likely people will sell.
The less likely people are to sell then the higher the price.
The only reason I can see to sell any BTC is if your running out of time (getting old). Since, at some point, you will want to enjoy the fruits of your patience.

If you chop out that sunken phase in the $3k range caused by Bitfinex scare in october, then it probably mirrors "something".

Man, LED light bulbs really suck.  Bought both Phillips and GE Reveal (2700k + 2850k).  I think even CFLs might look better.  The LEDs cause all colors in the room to have this dull, gray look where colors, especially things like orange and red don't pop out at all.  Every color in the room feels like it's adjusted -20-30% saturation, then add some gray to it.  The GE reveal is supposed to be a 90 CRI (Color Rendering Index) to prevent this, but it's little improvement over the Phillips.  They also seem to have some disorentation/dizziness effect that you might find in some of the worst CFL bulbs.

There's a brand called SORAA that's supposed to be better than both, but I doubt it comes anywhere near an incandescent in terms of lighting qualify.  If you get a 800 Lumens LED bulb, it feels as uncomfortable as being next to a 1200 lumens incandescent while using the computer.  The GE Reveal is ONLY 650 Lumens and still feels uncomfortably harsh and as irritating as sitting next to a 1000 lumens incandescent while reading or whatever.  I'm guessing the only one that would be remotely bearable are the 550 Lumens SORA ones, but like I said, still probably suck compared to incandescent.

I find led bulbs practical.. i fixed 2 this week. Just lay a solder bridge over the damaged smd led and the bulb comes back to life!


Sorry to quote the roach...

did some analysis and found that we could be heading to 14k by end of year, higher if things go out of control

Let’s not get ahead of ourselves now

long time since i last saw a non-logarithmic scale for btc

Bitconifer signalling a musical preference here:



Lets hope it doesn't follow up with more bearish one:

Hello

5900$

Again

......


5921$

[El duderino_]

Still 1BTC=1BTC

Though the feeling @3100 or 5900 is not the same and will be more euphoric @ 5-dig and more @ATH and even more @6-dig
