[HairyMaclairy]

Update 25 Feb evening:

Evening arrives, covering the land with a coat of dusk. The air runs cold and the dark forest is getting even darker. Endlessly tall trees cast their shadows on the path where our hero stands, looking for an exit. Badger is feeling observed. Someone, or SOMETHING is lurking in the shadows... Could it be a good spirit, ready to guide our hero through the darkness? Hmmm, I'd bet on more ill intentioned creatures. Easy preys are hard to find in these parts, and Corn looks like a good meal. Watch out little badger, time to stay alert!

[HairyMaclairy]

Morning 26 Feb:

Armed with courage and his sixth sense, Badger advances through the night. He prays to the full moon, her trusted ally and guardian angel. Unfortunately, even the brightest moonbeams have trouble piercing through the dense roof of leaves and branches. One thing is clear though, danger is present and getting closer... Is the road fork a perfect setting for an ambush?

its a struggle

Yes well, anyways, best innovation in TA evah; enough with those lines, welcome the trolls dragons and spells

my feed must be broken. there is no fud to be found in MSM or btc press, and barring a tiny trickle out of China about ICOs to the positive, really nothing to move markets at all.
shorts are indeed piling up, but to no avail.
need to start some rumours to get things moving.

I also firmly object to the new-fangled corruption of the term of art 'honey badger' by the ghastly modern usage 'badger'. Bitcoin is meant to be hard and if you can't meme with a satoshi-verified honey badger picture then just don't.
Whats next; 'bitcoin, the ferret of money', 'the weasel'? Gah

Are you suggesting that ferrets are inadequately fierce?

In the sport of ferret-legging, competitors tie their trousers at the ankles before placing two ferrets inside and securely fastening their belts to prevent the ferrets from escaping.[2] Each competitor then stands in front of the judges for as long as he can.[4] Competitors cannot be drunk or drugged, nor can the ferrets be sedated.[5] In addition, competitors are not allowed to wear underwear beneath their trousers,[6] which must allow the ferrets free access from one leg to the other,[7] and the ferrets must have a full set of teeth that must not have been filed or otherwise blunted.[5] The winner is the person who lasts the longest.[8]

The sport is said to involve very little "native skill",[7] simply an ability to "have your tool bitten and not care".[9] The former world champion, Reg Mellor, is credited with instituting the practice of wearing white trousers in ferret-legging matches, to better display the blood from the wounds caused by the animals.[9] Competitors can attempt, from outside their trousers, to dislodge the ferrets, but as the animals can maintain a strong hold for long periods, their removal can be difficult.[2]

The ferrets are occasionally put inside the contestants' shirts in addition to their trousers.[10] An attempt to introduce a female version of the sport—ferret busting, in which female contestants introduced ferrets down their blouses—proved unsuccessful.[11]

which way, rumours of your choosing (or are they)

exchanges do not hold enough bitcoin to cover accounts

or

central banks to collapse - debt too high, banks bought too much stock, "NO MORE BAIL OUTS"


hmmm

Can somebody spread the news, that every time someone sells a bitcoin, a sweet little puppy will die, until we are above 15k?  

At least, maybe it is worth a try.

let's do both. as they are both true. either way this is good news for bitcoin.

did not mean to doubt ferret ferocity. they are v small though. ferret jokes abounded in my youth and basically reduced to 'you southern softies win because you have perfected the suckling method whereby the kits are trained from youth to er suckle on anything and everything for er a reward' 'no you northern numpties do that'

but let me offend another nation and another gender: An Irish ferret trainer wins all the medals and prizes at ferret events. He is known for smuggling them across the border to the North where the ferrets are better-bred, but no one knows how he manages this feat, as the customs guards always search everyone's trousers for ferrets. After many years of coming second, his great competitor asks him how he does it. 'Oh sure I just get my wife to smuggle them in in her trousers, to be sure, them feckers don't look there for ferrets.' 'But what about the smell?' 'Well sure now 'tis only a game. If they die, they die.'

hopefully the time has come to turn the table

could you imagine decentralizing it all

no facebook between messages
no exchange between trades
no uber between rides

etc etc etc

Here’s something to rile up the NRA members in the thread.

I like you HairyMaclairy, but two can play at this game.

Let's make sure to outlaw guns in America, so instead of being alive today these two poor women would now be dead at the hands of a thug thief:

hate the guns, should only own them if trained or necessary

like i don't know, when four cops stand down and leave you unprotected

bit hard to ask someone to hand in their guns then.

[olseh]

I sense a disturbance in the blockchain.

I have a feeling we're setting up for moonshot this week.

Won't be upset if you're right mate

You need training and class-time for legal concealed in most States, as far as I am aware. Not to mention fingerprinting, and entrance into a national database. Tied to your drivers license usually.

I was out at nice dinner with a couple friends the other night, and was talking to one of my other carrying buddies after noticing that we were seated directly with eye-line to the front door. Our partners backs were facing the door, looking towards the back of the restaurant.

Talk eventually turned to all the anti Second Amendment sentiment floating around right now after the recent shooting in Florida.

Then we were all like...

Broheim: (Notices me eyeballing the fancy restaurant entrance)
Me: "You carrying right now ?"
Broheim: "You know it. .40 S&W"
Me: "Lulz. .45 Kimber @ 4pm on me"
Broheim: "I pity whoever decides to walk through that door trying to start some shit"
Me: "Goddamn I love this country"
(Both of us continue eating our juicy medium-rare steaks)

Sounds just like the wild west.

Its a shame the attacks on your citizens has led to more and more people owning guns

Necessary but avoidable

smarter people in key positions

when someone posts and tips of your federal officers, well avoidable

[Last of the V8s]

Somehow in UK (and oz?) most of the thugs and the druggies were disarmed of their handguns and sawnoffs. There is almost zero danger of an armed robbery in a shop or restaurant. Yes someone brandishes a hand axe here and there or a samurai sword. Effectively no gun violence at all.

(The gentry here have now gone back to being the only ones who are armed to the teeth. Their safes and car boots (trunks) are stuffed with the finest Purdeys and Holland&Hollands.)

But it is very different in the US. You have believed in guns for a long time. You could never trust each other enough to hand over your guns. Things have gone way too far to achieve a UK-level of quietude or pussification (take your pick).

Strangely i feel this disturbance also. From weeks of feeling fud, there is suddenly a feeling of calmness / optimism in my mood.
Its also been awhile since tether printed anything from a high of $100million + per week not so long ago.
No one wants a tether pump of course but if it happens, i feel the timing is right

It doesn't matter. There is no getting rid of guns once they are widespread. Just tell anti-gunners to suck it up and do something useful with their lives.

[HairyMaclairy]

I'm feeling too relaxed right now.  I'll argue with you later Torque and Bob  Edit:  you too Ibian.

There is no need for new tethers for now. During the tether FUD, crypto was converted for half a billion tethers. A quarter of a billion of the tethers went back to Bitfinex during the pump to 11.8K. Now a quarter of a billion remains (see https://omniexplorer.info/lookupadd.aspx?address=1KYiKJEfdJtap9QX2v9BXJMpz2SfU4pgZw&page=1) that will go for another pump (13-15K). The last bear attempt was very dissapointing for them, clearly no one is willing to sell below 9K anymore. This is good and the new bull run is about to start soon.
Edit: While I was writing the post BTC jumped form 9.68 to 10K!
