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

[jojo69]

There are plenty of reasons to be optimistic.

World population is leveling off at 8.7 billion.   Education helps, a lot.  Especially educating and empowering women.  

Tech is moving incredibly fast.  Our information management skills are currently growing exponentially.

Environmental values are being heard by politicians including in repressive states like China. 

If you want wide open spaces try Siberia, Northern Canada, interior of Australia, North Dakota, Pacific Ocean etc.

No crowds there.  

so our choice is tundra or desert

gee...thanks

Bitcoin has never been difficult to use, scan QR code to send, show qr to receive.

E-mails also never difficult
Thats the point

Now I understand why the bitcoins price is not moving?
It's taking rest 😆

 I'm pretty sure MicG is talking about the original not the original.

You can't hurry love
You just have to wait. They say
love don't come easy

(edited to be in haiku form)

Which is, of course, a Supreme fork.

 I'm honestly really bummed out about The Dude shilling for Stella Didn't seem like a very "Dude" thing to do.

 That's what some of us get, for expecting a sequel to a movie that could never possibly have a worthy follow-up.

As a beer drinker.... you ever drunk Stella?

I agree the dude should stick on Milk and white russian (i’m no beer drinker as well, i am a milk and white russian drinker )
But as for beer, Stella ain’t that bad

Yay After well over a year and a half I have finally got my original account back after it was hacked.
Thanks to Last of the V8s for the reminder that accounts were being restored.
Any chance of a hat xhomer?
I don’t have an avatar and trust to your creative skills.
I also now have some merits I can start sending.
Hooray.

3 and 9. A week is enough for a divorce, right? Easy money.

How is your morning, Gentlemen ?

All is well from 30km east of Carolina.



Only worry today is finding a sports bar where the wife can watch the super bowl. We'll watch it again when we get back home. For accordingly experience hath shewn that the super bowl in PR is accompanied by local commercials, rather than the creativity fest shown back on the mainland.

Imagine that... watching TV for the ads. Whatta life.

Jbreher, are you scouting it out for residency?

In a word, yes.

I don't know how productive the trip will be. I've never before scouted an area for residency. But the special cap gains treatment demand investigation. Perhaps most importantly during a down market.

One week here on the east side, next week on the west side. We shall see what we shall see.

For the time being, yo soy Boricua!

Enjoy!
I've been interested in PR for the same reasons.

The western side of the island sounds more appealing to me. And I've heard there are a lot of Americanos in Rincon. One thing that worries me is that my brother's friend, an FBI agent, said it's fairly dangerous in PR, and kidnapping for ransom is remarkably common. The official crime statistics are cooked (like most places, I'd guess) to make PR look safer. OTOH, I'd assume most of crime is relegated to the San Juan area.

Well, I'm going into this eyes wide open. I am aware that crime is statistically high here. One of the components of the mission is to try to scope out which areas may be somewhat safer than others. So far, I've not felt unsafe. Other than on the roads - these peoples drive crazy-like.

Another issue is the lack of some American staples. A friend of a friend launched a successful ICO, based in PR. He said a few of their employees (from the mainland) couldn't handle the change. For one in particular, the final straw was when he found it impossible to get ahold of a roast beef sandwich. 

Well, if your life is going to be dictated by what is available grab-and-go... There's beef in the supermarkets - one could make one's own. There's also pre-packaged roast beef - as in chopped/pressed/cooked/shaved variety. They have KFCs by the dozens, but I don't recall seeing sister Yum brand Arby's anywhere. Though I assume for such a person, Arby's doesn't have roast beef sandwiches either.

Mystifying is the limited selection of TexMex ingredients - tortillas, shells, salsas, etc. It's available, but only one or two items in each category. OTOH, there is almost Hawaii levels of variety of Spam. Go figure. Navy influence?

9 and 1 (probably).

Reasons:

9. Who doesn't want to live forever?

1. I can perfectly start with one coin and use all the knowledge of the past 6 months to make an immense wealth banking on every short term trade I remember. I am assuming this choice is some sort of 6 months time back machine. Maybe I am misunderstanding the wording.

In other words, immortal and filthy rich.

Arby's is not part of Yum brands. It is owned by Inspire Brands.

Well, there you go.

I coulda sworn I'd seen locations coupling the two. (not here, of course) Probably just misrememberating.

 I don't have anything at all against Stella as a beer. I buy it often enough, and quite enjoy the beverage.

 I recognize that Jeff got involved with whatever fresh water initiatives Stella supports, but it just spat in the face of true Lebowski fans out there, IMO.

Yeah it is strange to go and drink stellar in lebowski character :/

STELLA NOW!!!!!!
