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

[xhomerx10]

.... merits .... I have been given shitloads of them and I'm still pumping out the same old crap.

.....

You deserved everyone of them and then some my friend. So please do continue pumping out that "same old crap" because I for one love it.

Cheers mate.

 AWww.  You guys are gonna make me cry.

NO CRYING DURING BEAR MARKETS!

 Understood!  Hodlin' back the tears.

(I am not making this up.  They require 200 confirmations!  The chances of all the remaining 3.32 BSV nodes going offline before the deal is complete is uncomfortably high!  Almost halfway there after 16 hours!!  99 confirmations!  Woop woop!)

I’ve met him in real life multiple times. I can tell you now, the Wall Observer is a private club. You need to learn to respect established members in this thread or you won’t get very far.

If I am not wrong, You guys met the last time in a Socar match. One of you posted a Picture on WO. I am unable to find the Pic but I remember both of your hands have tattoos.

ChartBuddy Will be happy to see the conversation and he won't regret ever what he doing for a couple of years.

So, that said, here come some bad news:

There will be no more astrophotography pics from me posted here within the next few months (at least).
My youngest one powerslided into the tripod today. I was directly looking at the scene, when i saw the scope with camera and everything mounted tipping over like in slow motion. The only thing that wasn't slomo was the hit on the floor. I am glad that nobody got hurt, though. 8 Kilograms of metal and glass would hurt a child's body in a pretty ugly way. It was also partially my fault, because i had the tripod feet extended, it would probably not have tipped over if i had it set much lower. It was prepared for the next clear night, which seems to almost never come, lately. Also, the whole setup was built for smaller loads than what i had mounted (EDIT: ...and therefore very top heavy).
The result: Refractor focusing tube damaged beyond repair, focuser damaged beyond repair, Astro-DSLR bayonet mount tilted, polar wedge bent, tracking mount gets caught on several positions, on both axes when turning by hand in unlocked position.
The tripod, field flattener and lens heating survived.

I still don't know how to handle this event emotionally, seems like i will repress thinking about it and find a solution when i'm emotionally over it.
It's unlikely that i take some Sats off my stash at these price levels, otherwise i would be filling a nice online shopping cart right now, instead of typing this post...
Shit happens.

The consequence is that i will aim for a heavier, sturdy tipod/mount combination. I can mount bigger scopes onto such one, it would be tracking more accurately and if someone runs into it, he will suffer more than the equipment will.
Lesson learned  

Almost halfway there after 16 hours!!  99 confirmations!  Woop woop!  

But, but... CSW said $BSV is much faster than Bitcoin!!!

Now that I got some smerits, I have given all 10 to this Legendary explanation post by ChartBuddy.

Now that I'm in headline 

[cAPSLOCK]

last week I suggested my friend to diversify, then I stumbled this ...



I think I should meet him again to talk about the last thing

 I don't know man.  I'm pretty sure that's JimboToronto wheeling around his private lake on his solar powered e-bike that he empowered himself to buy with his foresight to invest early and often in Bitcoin.

Truth.  There are some books, for which a cover judgement is an error.  We all express our desires differently based on so many factors.  Me?  I seem to collect stainless steel washers, and hardware wallets.

While on that topic?  It's interesting.  I am a maxi-antimaxi.  So one I have not bought is a Coldacard.  There is this recent bitcoin maxi "pleb" meme going around twitter.



So, here's the irony.  I am:
-keto unto carnivore nearly (but not... I eat veggies, mostly green ones)
-believe strongly that the family is important and currently under attack
-am NOT a 'gun nut' but have an AR15 2 feet from my left hand right now.  Locked and loaded. Enter my space uninvited at your ULTIMATE peril. I will make it quick (and it will 100% not be the AR15 that does it, lol).
-do NOT own a coldcard, but may someday. Have 5 other hardware wallets lol.
-think The Bitcoin Standard is a masterwork, even if Saif is often annoying.
-am a Christian, but REJECT WITH ALL MY SOUL all "bitcoin as religion" garbage.

I have no idea what a "bitcoin pleb" is.  Think 6.15 is both juvenile, and not enough, really.  I respect people's decision to SELL THEIR BITCOIN when they want to.  Like BitcoinTINA, or our own LFC (yes I know they both did not sell it all, not nearly, i'd guess in the latter case).  AND I recognize that folk's reasons to do so are both valid, and their choice.  I think 'lambos' are a stupid waste of money.  But also see my last point!  If you want one, then GO FOR IT!  I will drive my current truck until they make diesel so expensive I can no longer afford it (so mid 2023?).

So the entire reason I do NOT buy a Coldcard?  Because it is the HW wallet (signing device really, please) of childish maximalists.  Silly right?  I agree.

Ironically my fav HW wallet (for UI/form reasons) is the keep key.  It was a Trezor fork, and is just a lovely little piece of hardware with a nice UI, but was subverted by Shapeshit... oh well.  Though I also like Jade quite a bit.  Maybe SOMEDAY I will get a Coldcard.

That meme above?  Some very prominent bitcoiners pushed back on it... for example Wladimir van der Laan, bitcoin's last lead maintainer who actually wrapped up his time in that position in part BECAUSE of stupid maxis...

(yeah totally a not so subtle-brag.  Nick Szabo ALSO follows me!)



In my opinion the "maxis" have a mixed effect on Bitcoin.  They make it seem childish sometimes... exclusive, a club for boys mostly, and girls who thirst-trap for them (please see the post RIGHT ABOVE this one!!!).  People who think El Salvador is now unconquerable, and assume anything Michael Saylor does is godly.

But then again, Bitcoin does not give a single fuck.

So why do I?

Maybe I will go order a Coldcard and a few Opendimes right this moment...  

(But I am drawing the line at the stupid overpriced blockclock)

You have misused the qualification.  

You should first learn how to use merit properly.
You must first learn the merit donation rules from Cryptolove20015. He is here teaching everyone the proper use of merit donation.

[MusaPk]

Merit abuse.I think he is abusing the merit of being a senior member. He gave him 21 merits for a simple post. WOW thread a Senior members are given merit if they post any kind of posts. I think if senior members give merit to a new member's post then he will try to post better.

I see the most accurate poster of the WO
Always keeping us updated….
As a price with a lot of 2 and 1’s in it….

People like you entering the WO hoping for those merits… please go elsewhere….

Thanks for clarifying my concept that Chart Buddy is a human poster, I thought it was a bot.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that, OOM. I felt my heart almost missed a beat while reading your story. I can relate, as I also own expensive gear—fortunately no serious accidents so far. Can only remember the sensors getting dusty on windy days in the field, the glass getting smudged, etc., nothing worse than that.

Bitcoin can surely get you back to speed (and better), but maybe not just yet, or you could soon end up owning the most expensive photo gear in the world. HoDL on if you can, let the corn grow a bit more before you take the plunge.

Don't think about it too much (if you can). No one got hurt, and that's the important thing. The rest is replaceable.

Oh. No.  NO.  no.

So many sorrys fill my soul for this one.  Not the least of which is the fact I will not see your photos for some time.  But it is what it is.  And it is just stuff right?  And a moment to extend grace to your youngin, who, even if they are not showing it probably feels pretty bad about this.

Yeah, the good thing is, i can forget, even if i don't always want to...
Thanks for the supportive and kind words, highly appreciated.
I had to laugh on "most expensive photo equipment in the world" - but it's 100% true. I hodled for some years now, got a small amount planned for cashing out, but we are about 5x from my personal "cashout-price".
I'm better off saving some money in the next couple of months and shoot some used gear in decent condition.

Oh. No.  NO.  no.

Honestly, it felt weird actually not shouting at him, but my inner self just collapsed in sync with the fall.
Poor little fellow just left to his room, shocked and ashamed, while i picked up the pieces. He came out later again, and he was terribly sorry. I can't be rude to a kid acting like this. As you said, it's just stuff.
What was depressing me way more than the loss was that i seemed to fail in raising my kids at some point, because i'm telling them since elementary school to not run inside the house.
I told them a thousand times that they are free to run and shout outside as much as they like, or in case of emergency, but this is one thing i could not establish at home despite high effort.
That feeling of parental failing, i guess most parents participating in WO know it too.

EDIT: So, ChartBuddy, we no more go the moon, we want to go to the stars now, right?  

EDIT2: Soaked some leftovers from the vaporizer in Canadian Gin for five days, which i forgot about until today. Now it's time for filtering and testing, this should be an evening to remember. Will likely not be able to write much meaningful soonish, so wish y'all a good night
