Which one is Proudhon?

Haha..2nd from the right of course I would think. They are still lurking around..I see them pop up now and again.

Also regarding data storage:

I wish I had one of those, then I wouldn't have lost 4 terrabytes worth of old sentimental grade data by having two hard drives die simultaneously for no fucking reason.

Useful on a full node for years of blockchain storage no doubt. I would expect a pause/dip at 11.8k or so. a good chance to btd. Wonder when those shorts will start closing.

I think I see a doji star? Maybe the tail is long though...

And below 11k again. Welcome to the weekend dump

And below 11k again. Welcome to the weekend dump

Yes ...

If this keeps up much longer I think 10-12k will be the peak for Bitcoin unless mass media pulls in the masses as they did last December. And this was a one-time thing as we all know.

[HairyMaclairy]

Bearish hammer on the 4 hour.  Bitcoin is dead.

Edit:  a small sudden surge in shorts closing. Traders exiting their positions in relief ?

[Topbanker]

13k here we come!

No matter how rich or lucky I am, my lifetime is capped. No soft or hard fork can inflate my healthy living years to 1000.

It's important to make each minute count.

I agree with the second part, not necessarily with the first.

there was no crypto before Satoshi
there was no www before early nineties
there were no PCs just 43 years ago

Check out Altered Carbon (read the book before watching the show) or even more original Schild's Ladder (both published in 2002). Would you be able in, say, 40-50 years, transfer your mental state to a different substrate? A fascinating topic.

There's also quite an amount of promising looking research going on into longevity, such as halting or reversing the effects of aging (successful in worms and rats). There's also that whole deal with Crispr. Then there's that guy who's planning a head transplant. And research in nanotechnology. And we've got billions of dollars focusing on AI as well. A breakthrough in just one of these could quite rapidly shift us into a "indefinite lifespan" species.

I don't see the advantage of transferring ones mental state to a different substrate. The second it happens, you end up with basically two of you. The original (you) will carry on in a different path and die eventually and the new you will do its own thing.
Reversing the age process is a different matter though and probably within reach at some stage.
A closer option though if we figure out brain transplants is cloning. Having a clone of yourself in a lab and performing a brain transplant to said clone when needed. Highly unethical of course as you are killing the clone brain effectively, but the rich would get over this hurdle im sure.

This cloning thing looks familiar to the tech displayed in the sci-fi thriller series ‘Altered Carbon’.

I think we all knew $11k wouldn't blend.

The Ethereum network is “largely undocumented“

“We build sophisticated systems on top of this infrastructure and it is important people make sure that the infrastructure itself is secure,” she said.

Meanwhile the long / shorts ratio is rising as more shorts are closed.  The indicator will turn bullish in another 12 hours at the current rate.

Mark my words, before too long banks will be offering to hold your bitcoin for you (securely of course) and transferring between fiat to btc, and back, with little to no fee as incentive.

meanwhile Rabobank wants our bitcoins

Store your cryptocurrencies in a wallet hosted by a trusted party and within the secure online banking environment.

So a researcher named Goldberg explores attacks on the Rube-Goldberg machine network.

Classic.

I stopped reading at 'Brock Pierce'. That guy is like a mini-me version of McAfee. Total train wreck.

Agreed.
When I got to the part about kissing feet and blessing a crystal or
some such nonsense, I was like...ok, that’s enough of that drivel...
