Those are beautiful but I already had my eye on another Agreed about Patek Phillippe, I am aiming for a smaller case. Oooooh! What are you looking at? For classic wristwatches nothing will beat a 1950's Hamilton Ventura or Pacer for incredible style. The Van Horn is very nice and traditional, and these are smaller than the new watches so they fit better on my wrist.

Hello WO’s happy 7/7. I am considering buying a watch from the site prestigetime using a (small) part of my stash. Wondering if any of y’all have experience with purchasing a watch with the corn? Obviously hate to part with any at this juncture, but do like supporting that BTC economy You can buy and replace, too. Or at least buy and then set some BTC prices in which you will replace, if the price gets that low, which can be at whatever level you deem to be reasonable for your situation. Ya I have my typical DCA’s and also am a habitual dip-buyer so it would almost certainly get replaced. Still always hard to part with BTC, but I am quite taken with the watch... Sounds reasonable to mention the topic of spending BTC or considering ways to spend BTC in a prudent way, and of course, a lot of us know about Gresham's law which signifies that we should be attempting to spend our less good money before we spend our better money, but we also should appreciate a current reality that BTC had pumped 3.3x from it's $4,200 base to $13,880 - yet our current price of about $11,560 is about 2.75x above that springing off base price. Anyhow, there are certainly a few different prudent ways to balance out some kind of spending of BTC in this price area.... Of course, some of the devil can be in the details, too, such as how much of your stash are you spending, and where are you at in the process of accumulation, maintenance or liquidation... and of course, there are some other considerations that might factor into the matter too. By the way, you are mentioning that you really want a watch, and watches can have some utility, status and cosmetic value. A few years ago, I had thought that I had graduated away from wearing watches, but in recent times, I had also returned to wearing a watch, so sometimes we don't really realize some changes that might just come upon us, perhaps watches are coming back into fashion a bit in recent times, too?

Only 3-4 days left to Super Golden Cross. Price staying above $10k is bullish as fuckk. New ATH in October or November. I can't be the only who sees the powerful upside momentum... right? I think we all see the upside momentum, except a few butt hurt losers. That said, I'll go with this one: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/OcS8j9al-Possible-retest-of-the-6k-area/Well with all the bullishness lying in the air, I thought I'd make a more bearish chart. I mean, not really bearish , only short term bearish . Longer term of course, BTC is uber bullish . It's really hard to say what BTC will do, but we have very solid support at 6.3K, where the volume profile indicates extremely strong support! Let's see! Not much more to add here. The orange line is the possible future daily MA200.

It's always tough to sell bitcoins for frippery, but at the same time I don't want to die suddenly with a huge stash. So a nice thing every once in awhile can be fun even if you realize the nice phone you bought a few years ago is not worth $6,000 today :-) By the way, you are mentioning that you really want a watch, and watches can have some utility, status and cosmetic value. A few years ago, I had thought that I had graduated away from wearing watches, but in recent times, I had also returned to wearing a watch, so sometimes we don't really realize some changes that might just come upon us, perhaps watches are coming back into fashion a bit in recent times, too?
They can be things of beauty. They can also be exceptionally flashy monstrosities which I guess is beautiful to some people. For myself they have both utility and beauty purposes and remind me that I always have a backup skill (watch repair) that I can fall back on if I get sick and tired of my current profession. Part of the reason I prefer to wear a 12s or a 16s pocket watch instead of an 18s, too flashy.

Big, important thread alert: There is a lot going on in Europe that feels like it's coming to a head soon... probably by the end of the summer. The EU economy is in mild recession... https://twitter.com/RaoulGMI/status/1147878009870983169We have to buy and HODL BTC

Very informative. Bonds are going into a 'black hole' in EU. Why people are still buying them? When this 'crazyness' is going to end? The rec of a $, bonds, gold and bitcoin mix sounds kind of weird, albeit I agree on no equities, though. BTW, here are the news on DB restructuring: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/07/investing/deutsche-bank-layoffs/index.html

For classic wristwatches nothing will beat a 1950's Hamilton Ventura or Pacer for incredible style. The Van Horn is very nice and traditional, and these are smaller than the new watches so they fit better on my wrist. I am looking at the Nomos Glashütte Tangente. Not quite in the same price range as the ones you have mentioned but a reliable everyday dress watch (which is what I’m looking for - more of a starter piece). At least that’s what the research I have done suggests

Why would jonoiv give any shits about whether the information that he posts is accurate or misleading or reckless? There seems to be both a bit of recklessness and desperation with jonoiv's current state, anyhow, even though s/he/it is likely only dealing with less than a .5BTC personal stash anyhow. Go figure. Edit: [edited out]
[size=3pt.....]...jonoiv in desperation mode... AlcoHoDL seems to have beat me to mentioning jonoiv's apparent ongoing desperation status.

I can kind of feel it, too..... And, I am thinking that every once in a while there seems to be some merit to a kind of BTC price pressure dynamics that is showing within various chart presentations, even when we cannot rely with certainty on those current or historical price dynamics to continue in the direction that they seem to be inclined.

Yes I am typically hesitant to spend BTC due to Gresham’s law, but I do need a new watch, and in light of our recent uptrend figure this is a good time to both take a small profit and make a transaction with my BTC, so it’s a bit of a win-win in my eyes

below 2k somewhere in 2021? This is insane. *I can bet $1000 he is wrong Are you going to bet? You would likely need escrow in the event that jonoiv is wiling to take you up on such a proposed bet.

It's always tough to sell bitcoins for frippery, but at the same time I don't want to die suddenly with a huge stash. So a nice thing every once in awhile can be fun even if you realize the nice phone you bought a few years ago is not worth $6,000 today :-) Certainly, I have nothing against spending some BTC here and there, yet each person needs to take responsibility for the significance of what s/he is doing. Those claims about two pizzas being worth $115 million today is a bunch of fucking whiny retrospective bullshit. If you don't want to spend your 10k bitcoins on two pizzas, then don't do it, but don't be whining about how much they would have been worth because it s largely irrelevant. Lazlo certainly does not express himself like that, even though there are some folks who regret selling their bitcoins, but in my view, their framing of the issue is a bunch of damned nonsense.. and ultimately they made a choice, and their choice not to replace their bitcoins or even to have spent some other kind of money is still a choice that is water under the bridge, spilt milk, largely irrelevant, and other like expressions etc etc etc. By the way, you are mentioning that you really want a watch, and watches can have some utility, status and cosmetic value. A few years ago, I had thought that I had graduated away from wearing watches, but in recent times, I had also returned to wearing a watch, so sometimes we don't really realize some changes that might just come upon us, perhaps watches are coming back into fashion a bit in recent times, too?
They can be things of beauty. They can also be exceptionally flashy monstrosities which I guess is beautiful to some people. For myself they have both utility and beauty purposes and remind me that I always have a backup skill (watch repair) that I can fall back on if I get sick and tired of my current profession. Part of the reason I prefer to wear a 12s or a 16s pocket watch instead of an 18s, too flashy. Certainly, you seem to have a decent amount of specialized knowledge in the watch direction, including an ability to differentiate between expensive watches, and like I mentioned before, sometimes, some of us might acquire tastes (even tastes for expensive items) that we did not believe that we had, and part of the reason is our lil fiend, bitcoin.
