About seasteading, I think that, given sufficient time, human nature will disintegrate it. It's true that communes exist, but the members of those communes are usually bound together very strongly by some common, usually supernatural belief system, often by means of force. An example is the Christian communes, many of which exist today. See, for example, the Amish and Mennonite communities. And is has been shown that, although it may appear otherwise on the outside, such communities are far from harmonious on the inside.

The problem I see with seasteading is that ego, greed and the lack of a strong, religious or cult-like binding force or belief system among inhabitants will result in heavy disputes about governance, heavy fighting and general unrest, up to a breaking point when the "mainland" will intervene and enforce order.

Even two people in a family are often unable to cohabit the same house without strong disputes and arguments, to the point of violence and divorce. Imagine what will happen when a group of several people, unknown to each other, and with lots of money to enforce their own opinions, preferences and desires, get together and attempt to co-exist in a relatively small area, physically isolated from the rest of the world...

The whole thing reminds me of Jacque Fresco's "The Venus Project":

It may sound great, almost heavenly, on paper, but I don't think it can last for too long because, sadly, it is not compatible with human nature. And human nature is not easy to change. The former Soviet Union tried it with communism and they failed. It may sound pessimistic, but that's how we are designed.

Look at monthly RSI, it's well over 93%.

Only 3 times so far we got over 95.
Each and every time we were into a bubble just about to burst.

How long after getting above 95 did that happen each time?

You're not wrong to be cautious here.

But let me ask you a question. Suppose those hedge funds planning to invest in futures through the CME, and even Wallstreet whale traders, know for a fact that the Bitcoin price will soar higher in the coming years want to get out in front of it by buying loads of Bitcoin directly now.

Would they be able to disguise that market buying pressure? I think not.

Is that what we are seeing with this rally then? Possibly.

Could we still see a big short once the CME thing gets going? Possibly. I wouldn't rule it out.

Could we instead see no pullback at all? Possibly.

Prepare accordingly.

I agree, except "no pullback" is not an option imho.
We may debate whether a correction may start from here, 10000, 12000 or whatever, but we'll get a huge correction afterwards ( 40% ?  60% ? ).
Morevover usually when the bubble bursts all you get is a huge price spike that you'll hardly catch.

Personally i trust that monthly indicator and from here i'll follow the simple advice: "sell greed".
Still liquidating along the rise.

If the technical indicators are little bit more accurate, in price movement prediction, than looking at the glass ball a lot of people would be rich. Unfortunately they are not.

About seasteading, ...

(getting totally off-topic, but I'd like to add a positive note in light of the current prices)
Most of the problems you describe result from too high density of people because people all want to be where the most natural resources are, and then having conflicting ideas about who those resources belong to. (your link is the opposite of reducing population density)

I hope both will improve with renewable energy. It's one of the most important resources, and makes _many_ more location perfectly habitable, resulting in a lower population density. In case of solar, the resource is not bound to a location, so land-grab won't get you the resource, the owner will take the panels with them when you chaise them away.
Water is also an important resource, but anywhere near the coast it is easy to create when there is almost unlimited supply of energy.

Been away this weekend, just checked the price. $9,000 wow, never thought I’d see these kind of prices. Bitcoin is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, period.

This is gentlemen!

It's hard to track prices when bitcoin is so bullish, eh? Come comment with your thoughts on today's chart of the day.

I will forever remember this day and will tell my childrens in the future:

I feel like a kid again LOL

DBZ x BTC:

[Wekkel]

with the next +10% we will break 10k coming week. 12k by end of 2017 and 60k-100k by end of 2018 sounds reasonable.

Yes, it will become interesting once price doubles in a week.

You keep saying that, even at this point?

I say this (and continue to repeat it) as a reminder that we are slowly heading towards a blow off moment. The doubling-in-a-week indicator would serve as a gentle but strong warning that it may be time to dampen the hype a little.

And yes, the run-up this year is great but to me it is hardly exciting compared to 2011/2013. But then again, 2013 may not repeat after all.

As more and more forks are coming more to dump to get some Bitcoins = Higher price.

X-mas is coming really early for us here.

Congratulations to everyone for reaching a new all time high!!

$9300. Only $700 to go. Piece of cake for Bitcoin 

[JimboToronto]

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Another day another ATH... currently $9306USD/$11831CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Old coins are now each worth  $11248USD/$14300CAD (Coinmatketcap).

Now that $9k is past, $10k doesn't seem so far away. It's still a long shot for November but not impossible.

Go Bitcoin go.
