as I noted in an earlier post { https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg55491561#msg55491561 }

 the  best streak of above 12,584

was from 2017-12-06 to 2018-01-15  that was 41 days

so 17 down and 24 to go.

   This will be a really nice streak to break.

  If we stay hot we break the streak on Dec. 2, 2020

so 2020-12-02 here we come.

Personally , I think the right vs left is a diversion. Politics is corrupt to the core. Both sides including the DOJ and CIA the whole system.  I also think Americans both liberal and conservatives can become united again, when both sides realize the government is not there to look after their interests. ( Think Edward Snowden and what he revealed)

Just my take on things....Isn't that why we all own Bitcoin???

This is why bitcoin is a social phenomenon.
It unites leftists,  conservatives, Jews,  Palestinians, wall street investors, silicon valley nerds ,Chinese miners , Russians, Venezuelans trying to survive, Syrian refugees trying to flee to Turkey.  You name it!

It goes beyond nations, beyond religion, beyond politics.  Can bch do that,? Visa? Nano? Banks?

Does he not realize that counting ballots actually takes time?

... I've always wondered why in all the democratic world it is only Democrat inner-city US counties that take forever to count their vote?

... they have more people so should be able to count faster ... or? are they stupider? why do they always delay their vote count? do you not find that strange?

The inner cities are completely corrupt Democrat cesspools. On election night, they pause the counting, wait for the results to come in from the rest of the state, figure out how many votes they're down by, manufacture whatever votes they need, then resume counting. It's the oldest [US] political trick in the book.

This approach was famously pioneered by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. He essentially controlled every Illinois State election while he was in office in the 50s-70s.

My theory is that Trump pissed off all the Libs and some of the independents so they all got together in this big gang and voted against him at the next election.

And the reason it is faster to count rural areas in Nevada and Arizona is because the rural areas are made of sand and the urban areas actually have people in them.  

It's amazing how cities with millions of people like New York, Chicago, Houston, L.A., etc. have no problem getting their ballots counted on election day. However, second tier cities like Detroit and Philadelphia, in battleground states with democrat governors, have ballot counting that goes on for days and is fraught with problems.

You should retract this statement as it is one of complete ignorance.

Or worse yet you know why it happened and are lying.

This happened with all five last to tally states.

North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Nevada
Georgia
Arizonia

They counted the mail in votes last as prescribed by state laws which were created by republican controlled legislators.

if you can prove this bolded line wrong with documentation > I will retract my post.

Take a look at this, you sanctimonious fuck: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/08/11/us/politics/vote-by-mail-us-states.html

People can vote by mail in all 50 states, and without an excuse in 43 states. In WA, OR, CA, UT, NV, CO, NJ, VT, and HI, all registered voters received ballots by mail, and most likely were the states with the most mail-in voting. Of the five states you listed, only NV mailed ballots to everyone.

So explain to me again why those five states you listed are some of the only ones having counting problems.

For some strange reason, Bossian has not been very active in recent times.

He owes me 0.05BTC if (when really) we reach a new ATH before 1st January 2022.
He probably won’t return!

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5205829.msg53223585#msg53223585

Lauda already gave him red trust, before she exited, herself.

Personally, LFC, I would not be giving him (Bossian) any kind of out...

His feet need to be held to the fire... that fucktwat.

California:  77% counted
Illinois: 88% counted
Texas: 96% counted

Pennsylvania:  96% counted.

I don’t think you can say Pennsylvania is doing poorly compared to California, Illinois or even Texas

California and Texas are the two most populous states. California mailed ballots to everyone, as did 8 other states (and D.C.), with no such problems that I'm aware of.

So went down to the local bitcoin ATM to pick up a thousand in either litecoin or bitcoin. First the owner changed and now it only does BTC. Second their fucking buy price was $14,600 and sell price of $18,500. Fuck you does not begin to describe my thoughts on this matter :-)

Maybe it's time to go get a real exchange account tied to a real bank and passport and a sample of my nutter butter. For a US cit, what's the valid options these days?

Privacy isn't free, either provide your DNA sample or be inconvenienced.

Is localbitcoin still a thing?

Gemini is solid, IMO.

I like Kraken these days.  The only 'bank' I deal with voluntarily.

There is I assume, some kind of world wide branch of Bitcoin Kiosk outside of the local Barnes and Noble Bookstore in the local indoor mall. They have always bought like

$2k low and sold you 2k high BTC for years.

I assume the 'ratio' is the same because the last time I looked the price was around $12.5k and they would buy for $8.5k and sell for

$12.5k when I tried this back then.

Bitcoin was ...sheesh....$10.5k...I then realized (and now) that these kiosks are simply for the 'novelty' of getting Bitcoin...like in dust amounts ...just so

people could say they 'owned' some. No way, can they be getting legit money out of these things.

Also, their verification sucked. I could NOT use them, because they require your cell phone number. I put in my working for years cell phone number, but

because it was a transfer from my original home phone land line of 30+ years before I got my cell phone 10 years ago...they said..sorry that is a land line.

Sheesh! Like I'm gonna haul my land line to the kiosk...anyway here is the ATM company that is this cluster.

So I put in $15,617.66 and it says it will pay me 0.8731964 Bitcoin. Or the cost would be $13,627.38 BTC for a fee of $1,989.28 Fee!

https://www.coincloudatm.com/ Looks like maybe yours is the same company maybe Coin Cloud ATM.

Anyway, that is a waste of time on so many levels. Feel free to check out the above with your purchase request as well.

Anwyay, I'd forgotten about this from 2 years ago or so....reminded me...may have even worse rates now than then on this current pump.

CTP Canadian Toilet Paper the most worthless on the day, with its 8th lowest close against the corn.  It's all good, with my wealth in corn and my debts in CTP

Yes I have a modest dollar cost averaging plan going on at the moment.  It also doubles as a rainy day fund for a large dip but we haven’t had one.  Which is fine by me, upward consolidation is grand.

Surely, you are not the ONLY one devolving into politics..

It's been a long time divergence practice here (you know as well as me), even though I would also prefer to stick to talking about bitcoin..

Sometimes, though, peeps just cannot help but to bring up the topic and other peeps cannot help but to respond when other members are presenting such topic of the day issues and some of those members even reasonably believe that there is some kind of connection with bitcoin... sometimes there is...

I am thinking:  "This too shall pass."  

In other words, we just seem to be going through a kind of moment in which a lot of people are thinking and talking about such red headed political topic... Hot topic, yes, and hopefully soon NOT to be so hot, amiNOTrite?  

On the other hand, probably there is going to be some other HOT/political topic in the near future.. cannot completely write it off, seems to me.

If the time is not right for trains and rockets, one must post something.  Or so it seems.

Fair enough...

And better than pumping some nonsense shitcoin... how about HEX?... I have been getting a lot of spam e-mails about that nonsense, recently... for some strange reason...

Clearly someone knows your love of shitcoins and wants you to be up to date

[infofront]

I'll admit I claimed my HEX. I didn't really know how it was going to work, but I was given 10% of what I "earned", then they locked 90% of them away for a year or something. Free money is free money though.
