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

[Arriemoller]

thought we'd done the https://www.politicalcompass.org/test
it's not perfect, but quite thought-provoking
i always come out more wishy-washy than i'd like to imagine myself (The Khan was a pussy blahblah)
will do it later and might publish here
off to a coffee-morning for the homeless smh

No surprises here

Surprise for me. I'd have imagined I'd be more "libertarian", as I lean heavily into laissez faire, including the bad consequences of poor choices.

Useless quiz is far too statist to get proper picture

Yeah, the questions also aren't sufficiently well-defined for my taste.

Some years back I went to the doctor to get my insomnia checked out. Ended up at some ADHD specialist.

The questionnaire was so ambiguous that I could've crossed anything without distorting the truth depending on how I'd choose to interpret the questions. Needless to say, I could choose the outcome so I went ahead and got a Ritalin prescription just to be sure.

Surprisingly, it knocked me out. First time in my life I went to bed and just fell asleep.

Not taking it anymore because I don't like having to watch my diet to negate the side-effects, and while it makes me more productive and focused it makes me think more linearly and thus tampers with creativity.

Tl;dr questionnaires are shitty ways to collect data. But unfortunately the best we have for now. Probably going to change in a decade or so though.

That is my experience with Ritalin as well, I never had any sleeping problems tho, rather the opposite, I sleep too much and is usually on a 25 hour cycle.
But I tried microdosing it instead (1/4 to 1/2 of a 5 mg pill in the morning) and that gave me a good balance between focus and creativity without messing with sleep and hunger.
I'm not taking it right now because of interactions with other drugs, but I will try another round when I'm of that drug.

Japan is faking its friendliness.

They don't like foreigners at all. While I agree Japan isn't China, I still wouldn't place it too far away from China.

Japan will never give you a Japanese passport even when you marry a Japanese girl. Doesn't matter how long you lived in Japan or what education you got. They don't care about your net worth neither.

If things suddenly  go south, Japan might surprise you.

There isn't a single safe country left on earth.

That's too generalizing. I'm aware of the xenophobic attitude that many, mostly old, Japanese people have.

And while they do have a "public" and a "personal" stance (tatemae vs honne). But the ones I've interacted with clearly used their personal opinions when interacting with me, as opposed to their "polite, avoid problems and live in harmony" type "public" opinions (which are mostly a result of their lack of space). I did meet my fair share of the type of Japanese that you are referring to, but you can entirely avoid them and any of the problems associated.

Also, it's not true that I couldn't get a Japanese passport. It's not as easy as it is in most Western places, but it's certainly possible. I could pretty much get one within two more years if I recall correctly.

Hot take on the NZ shooting by an Australian Senator.

FWIW, I am of the opinion Islam is fundamentally incompatible with Western values.

Has there been a massive MSM outrage yet? Against the letter?

Far right, hardcore anti-immigration senator from Australia? Unlikely there will be.

But the idea that somehow immigrants are responsible for their own unprovoked, cold-blooded murder is fucking sickening.

And accurate.

You don't have to like it, but it is a fact that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with western culture. They have no business here. And no place at all to play victims.

I sleep too much as well. My problem is with falling asleep. Even if I worked myself out and have been awake for 30+ hours it would generally take me 2-3 hours of toss and turn before I'd finally doze off. At that point I sleep through though.

For culture and colours.....

In each one of those we Will have good and bad, better and worse people
I can get along with all of them.... with the good ones, i avoid bad coloured but i try to avoid bad whites as well
We can have muslim terrorists, but we had or have white nazi’s as well

There Will always be problems ..... just don’t be the one in the center or helping or whatever with those problems

Good night and let us HODL and rest in peace

We will relatively soon get to a point where people will be able to create their vision at will (at first digitally only), and value will be derived based on how capable a person is to create an experience of interest to others.

I've already seen other people bring up this shitcoiner topic before, that EVERYONE will have their own coin that derives value from what they produce or whatever.  Assuming you could even make it work with all the interchangeability problems, most people simply produce nothing, so it's like....lol?  You are aware of the term bread and circus right?  

Welfare is money you bribe poor people with so they don't murder you in your sleep and take your stuff.  In that regard, any change back to a non-fantasy land, fraudulent monetary system is probably going to involve enormous taxes on 'the haves' to distribute bread to the people who produce nothing to stop them from burning down the planet.  Well, actually, just the cost of handing out food would be low and not requiring enormous taxes, but that assumes you completely abolish the entire military money laundering scam, medicare money laundering scam, and all other fraudulent govt programs.

By digitally only I mean that people will create virtual worlds and experiences that others will choose to consume. Similar to Youtube, Twitch and Patreon today but on a much larger scale.

Costs are on an exponential downward slope for any physically produced good that the government or other such players don't have their hands in. As such, there will be no need for labour in the traditional sense. And value and money will literally just be brownie points exchanged between different parties. For this even shitcoins would fit the bill. But I think that something like Bitcoin will be the common denominator, as central bank fiat currencies are inflating too much.

Well, this Mindrust guy might be delusional thinking digital shitcoins can compare at all to physical metals, but at least he's not clueless that a random Gaijin roaming around Asia when the shit hits the fan will probably be fucked. What is the most common trait of the Chinese?  It's pragmatism.  Japanese are not the same, but similar.  They do NOT have any type of societal norms based on things like Christianity (which is mostly just the golden rule).  Even if you're not religious you will probably still benefit from living in a Christian foundation civilization.  

When the time comes, maybe it's completely pragmatic for the Chinese or Japanese to decapitate the outsider Gaijin believing they can't be trusted for whatever reason and there is absolutely nothing to stop that choice from being the pragmatic solution:

Again, China and Japan are about as similar as Europe and the US. Probably less so as Japan puts more value on freedom than China ever could pretend to.

Also, between your reference and today Japan got nuked twice. That caused a drastic shift in their mentality. They're more into being productive than being dumb warmongers now and most of them would be too focused with the rat race to even think twice about some gaijin.

It's going to most likely be the exact opposite.  Instead of only intellectual property having value, things like manual labor will probably make a LARGE comeback with the collapse of EROI in the oil industry.  The books are ALL cooked on this stuff, but a lot of sources claim the EROI is already lower than what is required to maintain an industrial civilization in the first place and there is no real substitute for oil.  

I personally think the govt is subsidizing the price of oil/oil industry right now as a stealth form of helicopter money.  You already know they want to enact helicopter money and simply giving people free or reduced price oil is the same thing since everyone buys it.  So in the end, the question of:  hey, what do we do with all these people who don't know how to program or whatever the fuck?  Will probably fix itself.  They might end up chopping logs or working in a field or something.

So let me get this straight: you're saying they deserved to be massacred? And being a victim of a massacre isn't an appropriate time to "play victim"?

I finally accomplished my first target. Finally.



This includes my altcoins too which are %6. Still need another 0.3 to make it pure 5.

That sucks, have you tried melatonin pills, they seem to work well with some individuals.
I always read for an hour or two when I go to bed, and sleep just comes to me during that time. When I close the book, I fall a sleep.

What kind of labour exactly do you see so valuable when oil collapses?

Do you not understand that most labor in modern civilization is done by machines and much of that is oil powered?  It requires a human doing physical labor for 12 years to equal one barrel of oil.  This is where all the huge increase in qualify of life came from for humans.  The oil barrels are your black servants so to speak.  You remove oil from the equation and humans themselves are going to be doing a lot more of the work.  Here's some math/engineering on it:

https://fatcatwatch.wordpress.com/2011/04/30/abarrel-of-crude-is-worth-164000/

Warning:  blog is written by a lunatic Marxist, but I think his math on oil checks out.  He claimed a world run by women that disenfranchises men would have less wars.  I think female rulers actually started more wars per capita but not sure.  Females do not really care about if men live or die so wouldn't be surprised if they were more careless in sending them off to their deaths.

You have to give up your previous citizenship though: Japan doesn't allow double passport.

Again, just because we use oil right now doesn't mean we have to. We have a myriad of options with different trade offs. Nuclear power is the easiest solution. But there are others.

Been thinking about this actually. What are machines? Substitutes for slaves. Machines are the reason we no longer have slavery. Oil runs out, electricity runs out, what do? Slavery might just make a comeback, in some form or other (other than the wage slavery we already have).
