Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Ludwig Von]

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.

exactly

As someone noted above, the whole Apollo program was primarily a propaganda/PR effort.  My theory is that the pictures came back fucked up, over exposed, out of focus...whatever, and the marketing people were like "what the fuck is this?  we can't use this." and then they did what marketing people do...

I agree this is the most plausible explanation.

I saw it live on TV, as an 9 year old. It was just real. No point discussing that. I also read about the Tonkin incident, as a 6 year old. That was clearly a false flag. Nothing has changed about these facts.

Who cares? Technology is a genie that once let out of the bottle can not be put back in. It will be with us forever. Bureaucrats and systems of record and title transfer come and go. In the long march of time even mountains are reduced to dust by the simple flowing of water. Technology is like the water and Bureaucrats are not even close to being mountains.

No I get what you are saying. Perhaps blockchain will eventually find it's way into a few other places here and there where it makes sense to have it.

Though if the next 30 years go by and I still can't legally transfer a car title to another person for free via a decentralized blockchain solution, it won't mean much sweat to me as I'll probably be close to death anyway, lol.

If it does happen in the next 30 years it will be because political jurisdictions are in a sort of competition with one another. I wouldn't be surprised to see smaller jurisdictions implement as much of this kinda stuff as they can in order to attract expats.

We're getting into Bart Simpson's pattern again:

A tech analyst on CNBC video talking about Bitcoin price action like it's a serious financial market asset.

I can remember when the MSM had nothing positive to say about Bitcoin, and certainly no serious trading discussion.

Mind blown.

IoT

I could see a sort of blockchain existing between a companies till systems to take care of loyalty points. I gain 5 points in a transaction in London. I go to Manchester and spend them at that till in another transaction. All tracked and managed independently of any human effort. Only they need a process to add and verify any new tills and its effortless for them.

Going on the average age of posters in this thread, there's no longer such a thing as a boner to be ashamed of any more for most. All of them are a gift.

This gives me a boner:

So much boner talk. I hope there will be happy ending

A 38 metre arc of the creamiest semen just for you. And it'll be from multiple posters who'll join streams just like the end of Ghostbusters.

I find that ... distasteful

There is a strong correlation between conspiracy theorists and low cognitive capability.  Make of that what you will.  

hmmm. many conspiracys are later found to be true. wake up people

"Many" = "<0.01%"

uh...no

However, regarding the moon landings specifically, it is true that many of the Apollo photos were faked or altered, which in retrospect was an extremely bad move as it has provided endless grist for the denier mill.

I find it very difficult to believe the moon landings were faked.

Considering the political environment of the time, the USA was in a race against a technically competent opponent full of very smart people, don't you think Russia, China, or any other country capable of doing so, would have called out the USA immediately? Embarrass the shit out of the USA by proving mathematically/showing that they did not in fact do what they said? I've never read or heard of such.

Edit: Regarding the photos, those I have no comment on. They could have been faked, sure; the actual landings though, I don't believe so.

Acquire sufficiently powerful telescope.
Look at the moon rover.

Done and fucking done, next empty item please.

It's weird to think of myself as young in the post-mid-30s bracket, but I have noticed the same thing.

A very interesting stat and I've no idea why. Maybe it's staying power and the ability to look beyond that particular day's pump and dump.

This guy has a sufficiently powerful telescope.

There is also a collective/group of people with powerful telescopes who share images and footage of the moon.

The weird thing is they all seem to be of the same conlcusion

..."There is buildings on the moon"...

more conspiracy, who knows

A long term horizon is part of the K psychology, and that is partly a result of time. Huh. Maybe getting hit by a bus did more good for me than harm.

I’m early to mid 30’s. Won’t reveal my exact age but yeah, those of us with a half decent number of coins do seem to be over 30.
