We live in a declining culture. When a culture is in the ascent people are rational and cooperative because all the people who weren't fucking died along the way. Past the peak, which I estimate to have happened in the 80s, people who literally think like children become an ever-increasing majority and the few rational people left are out-grouped. And then a lot of people die and the cycle resets.
So rational people find scapegoats to blame many of the ills of society, and think that somehow banishing the scapegoats is going to bring us to some kind of resolution? Okey dokey, we'll roll with that.  Newsflash: even if the scapegoated group actually does cause many of the ills, and they are effectively "neutralized", some other group will come along and fill in the gap. Projection is what the left does. This is just description. And no, there is no solution. |

Projection is what the left does. This is just description. And no, there is no solution. Of course there is no solution. Human beings are flawed entities. Our outsized brain requires a lot of energy, so we are predatory and territorial by nature. "Becoming Vegan" is no solution either, since in order to ensure our brains have enough nutrition, one needs a lot of territory.  Life, in general, just isn't fair. There will always be a life form that uses an advantage and exploits another life form. Even plant life has its parasites. Even the trees, that grow up high and have their canopies spread wide are doing so at the expense of all the plant life below that have to settle for the slivers of sunlight that reaches them. |

Kill all of the trees! OK, almost done with that, what's next? |

Anybody up on the latest? Is Xapo still committed to the hard frok in November? Coinbase and Bitpay are bottom feeders, but Xapo is kind of a big deal. They have a mountain.

I call temp bottom at 5600, but I don't think it'll even get there. Here's why.
LedgerX reopens for biz Monday morning @ 9am EST. And they did $1M of swaps last week in their first days of business. So I think the push upward will resume.
I guess we'll see.

BTG snapshot is on the 25th, then coins hit in November (10th?). 2x is later in November. |

Thanks, but I meant the gold. How much hours left in fork approximately?
BTG snapshot is on the 25th, then coins hit in November (10th?). 2x is later in November. So still 3 days left? Interesting days... About 2x, I think its support will be withdrawn and nothing would happen. |

I know futures are what they are, but the thing is probably less shitty than we expect... https://bleutrade.com/exchange/BTG/BTC -> 0.05 BTC That is worth a few fucks if it keeps the price |
