I'm not as extreme as you, but close. I always buy new phones, and quite expensive ones, but I keep them for a very long time -- basically until they either die or can't do what I want. I currently have a Huawei P30 Pro (bought new for $900 in 2019). After 3.5 years it still feels like new, battery also feels like new (I'm quite puzzled by this -- how is there no degradation after 3.5 years?), its specs are great (AMOLED, 8 GB RAM / 256 GB storage), and its cameras are awesome (5x optical zoom, ultra-wide, good s/w). The way I see it, this phone should last for at least 3 more years. Still receiving security updates.

I also have that model, except that it's not the pro version, but it works perfectly well with 6GB of RAM and it's about as old as yours. I can only say that it is still in perfect condition, that I have never had any problems with it and that I really don't need to change it for at least another 3 years. Regardless of the fact that Chinese products are mostly considered to be of poor quality (which they mostly are), they also know how to make very high-quality things.

Smart watches from Huawei are also top-notch, especially in terms of battery autonomy, top-quality case and protective glass.

My P30 Pro is the best smartphone I've ever owned. The only "issue" with Huawei phones is that the latest models don't support Google Services (Play Store, Maps, YouTube, etc.). In fact, the P30 Pro is the last phone that is allowed to use them. This can be a big issue for many. There are some solutions to this, but the user experience is lacking compared to the real thing.

I have a Huawei tablet it is a decent piece of gear.

Is it one of the latest ones or any old model as I am curious about it because I was a big fan of Huawei Smartphones but after the google ban i haven't seen Huawei anymore in my local market. Huawei was quite impressive and almost at top of the competition suddenly something happened as google ban and Huawei is very rare now

I guess you mean the US ban... that happened during Trump's presidency when Washington banned Huawei, ZTE and a few other Chinese companies.

Google, Microsoft and other companies followed the order by complying to the instructions of the US Government.

Yes there was a time when Huawei was on its way to challenging Apple and Samsung but US sanctions crushed their dreams. That's why you don't see any new Huawei devices like before.

[Hueristic]

I don’t know but my work place and my circle are all brand conscious dudes (none of them in bitcoin, except for one or two) so not upgrading to the latest iPhone kinda feels left out.

Just recently upgraded to iPhone 14 from a perfectly working 13 and wasted $490 for the device + protector and case another $50.

Clearly this is not the way.

Then you will feel the FOMO essentially forever, as the tech cycle treadmill of always having to be on the latest and greatest never ends.

Break the cycle, gain control of what you feel is important. Not living up to everyone else's expectations is liberation.

--------------------------

I remember the early years of working in corporate America. Everyone looked the same, dressed in the same bland styles, trends and brands, and always had to be on the latest smartphone, tablet, and other tech gadgets.

I got caught up in that too, for many many years.

I remember the style trend was increasingly heading dressing down, more and more casual to work. One day in my late twenties, I said fuck it. I'm going to dress in my OWN style of clothing to work, and not in everyone else's blandness. Which incidentally, was set to a higher standard of quality and sophistication than what most men were wearing to the office. I started wearing a nice wristwatch, nice pressed dress shirts and ties, dress pants, nice blazers and overcoats, and higher end dress shoes.

I felt a little out of place for a while, and other male colleagues would definitely give me weird side eye from time to time. I was in IT, but probably looked more like an executive or corporate lawyer. But at least I felt liberated and was happier.

Then one day as a meeting let out, a woman co-worker of mine (who I thought was very attractive) and I were left in a meeting room alone chatting about various life things. As we gathered our stuff and started to get up to leave, out of the blue she turns to me and says, "You know, I always thought that you are definitely one of the better dressed men in this whole company." She smiled, I mumbled a "thank you" or something, and then she walked away. (btw, we were both married at the time, so I don't believe she was hitting on me or anything.)

At that moment, I knew I had been on the right track for doing my own thing.    

When I went to my first interview for a company called digital right after getting my degree there was 150 people all dressed the same.
Black suit white shirt and black tie.
I looked at the sea of fools, turned around and walked out, and started my own business.
I was wearing a tee shirt and jeans and there was no way I was going to wear a monkey suit to work.

My P30 Pro is the best smartphone I've ever owned. The only "issue" with Huawei phones is that the latest models don't support Google Services (Play Store, Maps, YouTube, etc.). In fact, the P30 Pro is the last phone that is allowed to use them. This can be a big issue for many. There are some solutions to this, but the user experience is lacking compared to the real thing.

I'll have to look into getting one of these when I need a new on as it took me forever to de-google my last one.

Looking at the label of that link:  Chickens are not vegetarians..

Those dumb fucks who are promoting that kind of language.     A cow is a vegetarian (mostly).. but good to eat, too.      A chicken is quite a bit less vegetarian than a cow.. especially since it does not have four stomaches.. but it does not have teeth either..... but still not a vegetarian, even though some vegetarians are willing to eat yummy and nutritious eggs, as compared to vegans who are totally nutso to think that their diet is actually sustainable and/or natural...

you guys just jelly that i am taking advantage of this range day trading scooping up more btc with each wave.  

Are you serious? Day-trading is just gambling. Buying an asset you see long-term value in and holding it long-term is investing.

The Bitcoin multi-millionaires here in WO didn't get rich by day-tarding. They did it by hodling through thick and thin regardless of the price.

Nobody here is jealous of the likes of you.

could have been richer had you sold the rips and bought the dips!  

you guys just jelly that i am taking advantage of this range day trading scooping up more btc with each wave.  

Yes you are picking up pennies in front of a steam-roller while many of us had picked up tens or even hundreds or perhaps even thousands of times more value back in early 2017 or even earlier than that.  Hard to be jealous when we see the potential or maybe better yet likely pain of you trying to risk ur lil selfie getting squished like a little bug for very small amounts of value, if you were even able to accomplish what you proclaim to be attempting.

I am the steam roller! Muahahahaha

maybe next season you can join me  I'm just having fun, let me pretend i can get rich af trying to setup and execute good trades.

Nobody is going to let you pretend, you lil diptwat.. except maybe your grandma.

We have seen all kinds of guys like you who like to project that they are ballers or whatever, and then they disappear when the BTC price goes up more than a few percentage points and recks the fuck out of their having had sold too much too soon because they believe that they are so smart and going to pick up more BTC at lower prices.

I believe that I am correct in the overall suggestion that I have been making in the past several years..  Maybe I have been making it since I started in bitcoin, but I found new ways of saying it?  But anyhow the overall suggestion is that you should not be trying to accumulate more BTC by selling it.  The better strategy is to accumulate more BTC by employing various ways to buy more of it and if you run out of money, you just HODL until you have more money coming in so that you are able to buy more.  

Of course once you get to to a sufficiently large stash that is sufficiently in profits, then you have way more options... Of course, what is a "sufficiently large stash" and what is "sufficiently in profits" is going to have various ways to frame such matters in terms of individual circumstances, yet for me neither of those ways of framing the ability to have more options means that having more options should cause anyone to be going balls to the walls and start to fuck around with trading or any of that bullshit, but there are likely ways that anyone might be able to rationalize aspects of his/her profits in such a way that they can use those profits for the playing of those kinds of trading practices which also can end up being set up as decently good ways to manage a portfolio and to possibly take advantage of ongoing and close to inevitable volatility in something like bitcoin without devolving into presenting themselves as some kind of big baller who has difficulties controlling/managing his/her ego.. which seems to be part of your issue, TrustedBitcoiner.

Oh gawd.. looks like a lost puppy.  Has to be on purpose, no?  

Anyone got a 12 gauge shotgun?.. .These kinds of blatant shitcoinenings should be deleted.. but there is usually self-policing, no?  

Maybe you can reform your ways Shan85 and remove that crap from our view?  Is that too much to ask? you fuck...

Yes US ban well Huawei was one who introduced the real concept of flagship features, as my dear fellow above-mentioned p30 pro was a massive success of Huawei but before that mate20 pro was the first highly featured Huawei smartphone. But unfortunately, now Xiaomi is on the replacement to Huawei.

Just to clarify, the Huawei P30 Pro includes Google Services, so you don't want that. You'll need to get any model after the P30 Pro (check to make sure). They are de-Googled by design, and you get the benefit of having a newer, better phone too. They do have Chinese versions of the equivalent services though (Petal Maps, Huawei AppGallery, etc.), so there's that. Not even sure if one can really avoid the Big Brother these days... 1984!

Both bitcoin and small stocks are way up.
Either there will be good CPI numbers on the 12th OR they are pumping before dumping on us.
I have seen shorties performed "tricks' like this before.
Hence, I am not buying into a surge, but rather selling small amounts of stonks, not touching btc.
I don't think that we are done for the stonks downside yet (could be going up a bit first, though).

It seems like the bond market has signaled that the Fed isn't going to be raising as much as they think, and markets are celebrating that.  Specifically with Bitcoin, it seems that the worst of the storm is behind us and the melting up has begun.  I expect this to last for quite some time, at least until profit taking for the halving takes place.  It's starting to look like this year is going to be smooth sailing though, at least until the mtgox distribution near the end of the year, but I suspect by then the market will be jumping into Bitcoin before the next bubble happens.  Hopefully that minimized the mtgox downside a bit.

hmm...maybe a 2019-like with acceleration into the end of Q1 instead of mid Q2, then a "flag" related to MtGox, finishing at 60-70% higher by the EOY.

i believe that bitcoin is on its own trajectory and what the fed does, or how well the stocks are doing, has little impact on BTC price. sure for a while it was a convenient way to explain price action, but I see nothing out of the ordinary, the past year wouldn't of been significantly difference no matter what the Marco picture was. there maybe some short term correlation, but if you zoom out far enough its all just noise compared to what's really driving the price action.

[Paashaas]

Recieved a phone call from my brother in law early this moring around 6 AM.
He told me that my sister was taken to the hospital with an ambulance, she couldn't endure the sudden serious pain attack in her lower body.

Stood up with instant adraline and stress while pulling my cloth on with haste rushing to the hospital.

Turns out her gallbladder failed working anymore so it needed to removed asap, thankfully they did surgery same day and will stay in the hospital for some day's for possible complications.

She can still lead a normal life without a gallbladder. The liver will still make bile to digest food, but instead of being stored in the gallbladder it drops continuously into the digestive system. A modified diet plan is required to avoid fats especially saturated and trans fats as much as possible which is on the positive side a good thing overall.

She will be fine i guess...yet, was always worried about her health because after she gave birth back in 2009 her health deteriorated. Womb removed and serval organ prolapses over time.
It was a profound medical rollercoaster. Sometimes i question myself what's next and perhaps another serious problem in the foreseeable future which even could lead to a certain death but her health preservered so far but it is ''getting better thought''.

After this incident i instantly canceled the 9 day's tour trip to Egypt next month with her husband and daughter. All paid by me and had everything arranged already, a major dissapointment for sure. (Always get a cancellation insurance!)
Nevertheless, going to book again for autumn break due for her daughters free time school period. That scorching heat during summer is over the top anyway.

The most important reason why i've decided to quit working is to support and spend more time with her -and ofcourse my mother- making good memories. Not my intention to chase money my whole life and be some kind of greedy fck keeping the Bitcoin wealth for my own, i wanna die in piece, aka; to achieve a hearth so light as a feather.

why dont you start the wall of text observer thread

Already did.  I been here since the mid-4ks (page count).  How about uie-pooie?

By the way, historically, I have not been much of a thread starter.. it has not really been my thingie, if you had not noticed.

if you zoom out far enough its all just noise

Do you mean that the zoomed out not noise of the my lil precious charts is just like the opposite of the you are noise?  Or a different kind of not noise from lillie fiends?  And, what happens if I keep zooming out in order to get away from the noises.  Will we even be able to communicate after having had zoomed so far out there?  

Do you have a recommended zooming out distance.. like maybe zoom out a month or something like that?  

Will the zooming out help with the day tarding in order to figure out if you are going to be able to buy back at $16,700 and which later you moved up your buying back down before up threshold to $16,900?  You probably know quite a bit about these kinds of tarding things, especially if we were to know the right person to ask, which would be to ask you, of course.
