Episode 2 of the seastead docudrama.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c83TiSJ6sfA

You even get a glimpse of the interior of the seastead.

Everyone keeps requesting we show them video of the inside but neither Nadia nor I are clean freaks so cleaning has not been a priority yet. No guests means nobody to judge.

The irony when you spend your whole life criticising Wall Street and banksters, but then you start your own bank with Wall Street!

They pay 6.2% annual interest (6% monthly compounded) in the coin you deposited (BTC payments if you deposited BTC, ETH vs ETH)

I thought most of these companies shut down debit card operations after being dumped by Visa. Last I heard, they were looking for alternatives or mumbling about building one. Are they with Mastercard now, or is there a new actor?

Second Brexit




They count the state of Washington as a "colony"? It has the word "Washington" in it.

Also I'm not sure I would count Antarctica unless we are talking about penguin colonies.
Yup, but any Brit can jump in for final confirmation.

I do remember the incident when British Embassy gave them "burning cake" or something on the 4th of July( i could be wrong here). it's possible i guess. British humor  Grin

And I don't know anything about penguin colonies.

Correct
BCH fan? Cheesy

Roach is generally NOT a fan of any of the cryptos.  

He is a pumper of PMs such as gold and silver, and set's forth a lot of the similar arguments that anti-government folks suggest in order to suggest that there is a need to invest in case the Armageddon comes.  He is also stupid-ass racist, in the nazi direction.  

Yet, who really knows or cares exactly what the fuck that he is talking about because his topics are largely tangential to the topic of this thread (but still seemingly tolerated), except perhaps one might conclude that his anti-government statements might line up with sound money aspects of bitcoin, if he were not likely paid to spout out his baloney bullshit distractions (but, for some reason, has not been around this thread too much in the past week or more.. i think he posts in streaks (maybe either related to how he is paid or when he has leave from the asylum))...    Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

Perhaps our Roach and his future lover Gembitz were slain as the bear market morphed into a new Baby Bull Market.  Wink

I can confirm shift(coinbase shift) is shutting down soon. I have had one for years and it was a great emergency debit card but last month i got an email from shift saying they were shutting down Bitcoin cards in 55 days(no explanation). Can anyone recommend the best Bitcoin debit card for the US. I believe xapo is not allowed in the US and havent looked into the other cards on this list.

There is a certain probability that the hard won $3700 resistance a week ago, turns out to be a solid support from now on. At least it held yesterday, which is a good sign. If this is so, we are definitely forming the next bull market with higher lows: 3100->3300->3700. And if the bulls hold this line, then soon everyone will be convinced that 2018 bear market was just a small hindrance that will be overcome really fast. Otherwise, we will have to endure the pains of 2015 pattern and have multiple bounces of $3300 area. Anyway, the time for accumulation cheap coins will be less than a year.

Many peeps don't realize it but everything below the previous ATH is cheap. My prediction is 6k by summer, 10-15k fall and at least 40k in December 2019 so yes you only have some 8-10 months to stock up.

40K this year? Not gonna happen.

I also think that 40K this year is a bit unrealistic from today's perspective. But let's recall early 2017. Everyone knew that the bull run from 400 to 1000 was fake. China's okex and other exchanges with 0 fees was the reason for that (I think they had >95% of the total volume). When the news of China's ban appeared, everyone was sure the bull market is over, and the price plunged back to 700-ish area for several months. How and why we reached 7K only 7 months later, I have no explanation. Multiple bad news were damaging the price: BFX problems with the banks, ETF hopes shattered by SEC, BU fork which didn't succeed thankfully, the August fork that scared some, Sept. China's ban again, Nov. fork that was cancelled, the huge dump of CW, Ver and Wu with the delusional hope of flippening. After that the only good news came about the futures, but the price was already near 10K by then. So, theoretically everything is possible, even 10x increase in the price. Let's not kill that hope. Who knows what will happen? The bull market may not be clearly visible now, but in early 2017 it was even more obscure.


O.k.  I will give $40k by the end of 2019 a 2% chance, at best.  It is more likely in the below 1% arena.  I am not going to say that it will not happen or that it could not happen, but I don't plan my life around events that are less than 1%, because that inevitably leads to disappointment, to have expectations in fantasy land of less than 1% probable.

Regarding early 2017.  As a comparison, we are not even close to being there yet.  We are somewhere in 2014 or 2015 and we do not really know where we are at yet until 1) we know that the bottom is in and 2) we are on our way up. 

I agree that based on the amount of FUD being spread in early 2017, there was a considerable degree of uncertainty, but I would hardly characterize today's level of certainty to be better than early 2017.  Get real.  Yes, there has been way more development in BTC today (such as lightning network and adoption of segwit), we have pretty much demolished some of the bitcoin naysayers and attack vectors and financialization tools/liquidation mechanisms are way better; however, price momentum still is NOT on BTC's side.  In early 2017, there had already been a year of slow grinding upward price movement, so in early 2017, the primary question was whether the top was in or if the price would continue to move up.. yes, lot's of doubt in early 2017.. but a history of 1 year of moving up, too... from $250-ish to the $900 to $1,200 arena of early 2017.

Admittedly, I am disinclined to lock myself into any fractal view of what is going to happen in bitcoin, because I remain open to any possibility, but saying that we are in early 2017 seems like pie in the sky when our current price is currently still within 20% of the most recent bottom of this cycle, $3,122.
