If living off-the-grid means no internet and no human contact, then NO WAY.

somehow I think not having people around is going to be the least of my worries, more likely to have to take measures to keep them at arms length

High ground.  Ranged in all directions.  Barbed wire.  Check.  Get some of those nasty little drones, too!

I prefer to live in the thick of it, downtown. I know what you're thinking. Look what it did to Theymos. It changes a man. But I come from downtown. It's armed me with grit and determination. And grace, too.

I need both. Most of my life I've been blessed with both. When I was playing music 6 nights a week, we'd tour 3-4 weeks, then play downtown for a few weeks.

Before that I had free use of a lovely piece of bush with a  large creek running through it. For the last 22 years I've had a 23' trailer on a high bank overlooking a waterfall, so deep in a 50 acre lot I'd have to cut a road in just to get it out. Been off the grid for years.

In the city, I live downtown. No lawns. Walk to major league sports, arts and entertainment. Literally dozens of bars, many with live entertainment, cool shops, eateries, and what was once the premier strip of computer shops in North America, all within a few short blocks.

I couldn't have it any other way. I get stuck in the city too long, I get itchy feet. I get stuck in the bush too long, I get cabin fever.

I like to say I've got dual citizenship, country slicker and city bumpkin. I know my way around the booze cans and remember when Cold Tea was whiskey, not beer, yet I can re-chain and sharpen my own Stihl and tune up my own Skidoo and John Deere.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

OMG while I was typing this we went up another c-note. Go Bitcoin go.

For a first month, not having to deal with people would be great... but then...

What the fuck is up with IOTA? From 0.30 less than a month ago to $5.30 now? How does it doesn't fucking implode already?

Have any of you guys actually lived of grid?
It's not as fun as it sounds. When I was a kid we would often spend time in my grandparents summerhouse, with no electricity. You had to get up in the middle of the night to keep the fire going, you had to pump the water by hand, you had to heat the water on the fire, no shower, just a quick hand wash.

They later installed electricity and it was bliss, electric water pump and heating, and all that (but still no shower, they were the old generation who took a bath twice a week or so, the rest was hand wash).

I would love to live of grid, but you simply cant make enough electricity for electric heating, you would have to have a wood burner or oil burner for that. And that's not my cup of tea, except as a backup. Hopefully though, they will soon come up with some kind of high capacity battery that makes wind/solar possible as the only energy source.

Yes I have and the technology has come a long way.

A modern catalytic stove will easily keep the fire all night, nearly 24 hours as a matter of fact.  Personally I much prefer wood heat.  I currently live in town and I miss having fire in my life.

Flat plate collectors on the roof coupled with a heat exchanger on the stove for hot water, or on demand propane if you are lazy.

DC pump and some solar to run it.  It really isn't that hard.

I have like 5-6 hours of daylight right now, and overcast with rain, those collectors would collect absolutely nothing, and a wood stove, even a modern one, still need you to store huge amounts of firewood, that you would first have to chop. That's not living in comfort, that's more work than I do now on my regular job.

I actually live in a small cottage in the countryside with a wood stove as my backup for power outages and just enjoying a nice wood fire. (The heat from a nice wood fire beats everything else).

Solar just doesn't work in the north in the winter yet.
Having said that, when I reach my first cash out point, I will install solar panels and a small wind turbine to make myself self sufficient at least in the summer. I do have collectors to my water heater, but as I mentioned, they don't work in the winter.

How do you short IOTA? This shit is getting stupid. At this rate it will overtake bitcoin in about a week.

I think it is only traded in Bitfinexed, but I would refrain to short anything crypto. I was seriously thinking about shorting IOTA when it first passed $1 just a few days ago... Fortunately I didn't.

So much for a coin that doesn't even work... sigh.

I will repeat it again: Never, ever short anything crypto. (I am repeating it to never forget it myself).

BOOM

It’s starting to sound like a war zone

LOL

Can bitcoin please double in a day like IOTA? Like $100k to $200k would be nice. Come on Wall Street. I start selling my coins when you pump us to $100k.

[bitcoinPsycho]

12.5k within 16 hours

Confirmed

Would that be from the optimism chart or the inevitability chart?

the latter
optimism chart reads $20000 by new year

We did that already, in 2013. Look where that led us.

This is why I prefer correcting as we go.

[ghandi]

Happy 10k€! Wonderfull! 

[aesma]

Doubling every couple months is fine to me ah ah.

Take the IOTA price

Multiply it with 100.

Multiply with 1.66

That is the equivalent Bitcoin price.

I am also a bit concerned about the current IOTA price but Mr Market is always right.

That's true, BTFD.

Looks like we are due for a dip down to at least $10k soon.

Let us brace ourselves. Fib says we are heading $13,000 in less than 24 hours. If i'm wrong i'll double my giveaways  on street childrens this Christmas.

Korean exchanges just can't get enough. We are at an all time high and they are still leading by about $2000.

there was this bitcoin documentary called "the rise and rise of bitcoin"

I think I beginn to grasp what that title means.

CHEERS YOU FUCKIN RICH FUCKERS.
