Theres something wrong with Grand Cycle 4.

There is nothing wrong. It will be just more like GC2 then GC3. I mean how will chart look. Price increase will be of course smaller then in both. Most likely smaller from GC3 for the same factor as was in GC3 smaller from GC2. We will have bumpy road ahead. And we should all pray that Trump stay president until elections. He will not let recession happen until then.

I want to share this with WO:

I show you an extension for the browser that allows us to update the page automatically

Auto Refresh

It works very simple, a small drop-down icon where we adjust the update time.



So you avoid the update with the mouse or with F5, you work with different times in each tab.



The best configuration is if you work with 2 or 3 monitors, you can leave the page updating the time "x" on one monitor and work with the other 2.

If you have set a very short update time and want to reply to a post, you must stop the automatic update, because if you spend more time writing, the page will update and you will lose the text.

Each one can adjust the time according to their needs, probably many of you already knew this type of application, but I am sure that some members do not know this application and it is really comfortable not to update manually.


Google Chrome

General description:

Automatic update is the best extension to update on a timer
Automatic Update is a simple extension that updates a page automatically in a given interval. There are many extensions to do this, but this is the simplest and easiest to use and allows customization! You can customize the default time and have separate timers running for all your tabs.

Set your update time by clicking on the update icon in your toolbar, setting the minutes and seconds and pressing start. You can stop the timer at any time by pressing the stop button.

Of course you will find something similar for Firefox or Mac, look for:

Coin Desk: Traditional Money Could Be ‘Surpassed’ By E-Money, Stablecoins: IMF Paper

A new paper from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) suggests that cash and bank deposits could be left behind as digital money and fiat-pegged cryptocurrencies see greater adoption.

Banks should be able to stage a fightback against such payment upstarts, offering better services or similar electronic money products, the note continues, but policymakers are warned that some disruption is likely within the banking industry. Even so, banks are likely here to stay, as firms offering these new payment methods may move to become banks themselves and use their data advantage to offer targeted credit.

The original paper can be found here:
The Rise of Digital Money

Interesting.

There is no real opposition between cryptocurrencies and banks in a conceptual level. This opposition only appears in a political level, because the "old guard" of bankers cant adapt to the new technologies. As I already said before, politics is a bad thing, and bitcoin should stay above it.

Don’t quote him, talk about or mention him or even throw colorful shade at him.
(ignore button optional but I myself don’t bother with it)
Because that’s what makes his pee pee hard.
He will eventually get bored and go away. Meantime the nukings suffice.

I know who you're actually talking about, yet its still unfortunate that roaches are built to withstand nuclear war.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

I see we've lost half of what we gained yesterday... currently $10462USD/$13642CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

At least we're still in 5 digits (for now).

Answer quickly:  how do you like your martinis?

Very dry. Sapphire. Up. Shaken. Twist of lemon. Oiled rim.

Large.

Shaken? You'll bruise the gin. Martinis should only be stirred with ice and then strained into a well-chilled glass, preferably but not necessarily a stemmed conical cocktail glass.

It's OK to shake a Kangaroo Cocktail (vodka "martini") since there's no gin to bruise. Also no refined flavor. Only tasteless rubes drink Kangaroos.

The twist of lemon and oiled rim are perfectly acceptable but I prefer the slightly more traditional Manzanilla olive stuffed with pimiento, and dirtied with about 1cc of olive brine per half oz. of Dolin's and 2 oz. of. Hendrick's (Orbium of late). I use a syringe to measure the brine.

I sometimes add a couple if capers to the olive skewer. Since that makes it not a real martini, (simply replacing the olive or lemon with an onion makes it a Gibson), I decided to name it a S-------- Cocktail after the Mexican jungle village where I met my GF.

Ahhh, the finer things in life. Thank you Bitcoin.

These came across my feed just now, seems pretty clear the US is going with the 'threat to security' angle...

I've been watching all the recent feeds. There is absolutely nothing to suggest they're changing the stance they've always had which was lots of the usual regulation for services, and don't be a bad boy.

The current crop of excitement has primarily been a vehicle for the government to tell Facebook how much they fucking hate them over and over again.

More interesting when you think that Ms Christine Lagarde is going to land at ECB later this year. I mean, some of these idea will be ferried in Frankfurt too.

I didn't check price today, your post made me go and check it!

OBSERVING 9930@STAMP!

Damn, I hate 4 digits prices!

But I am a believer, so I happy for the ones can afford to buy more at those levels!

At least i found a (almost exactly price) matching CCMF image!



Not really powerful, but slowly this metro train can transform in a MF double decker heavy duty train!

LOL, quite. Still, I think the use of loaded language is intentional. In my paranoid fantasy I will not be surprised if they start going after fiat gateways in the name of retail investor security, while still allowing full access to crypto markets by accredited financial institutions. Judging by the price action today, their words do seem to have an effect.

Thank your for sharing the link, well I found the guy rather persuasive.

LOL, I think you hit the nail on the head, case in point

Just hope they don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

The line held and now we fall as speculators are disappointed some and the needle swings to sell.    Present low is 50 day moving average and a previous low recently, MA is momentum more then support I guess and so it needs better reasons to find this as an ongoing low which may or may not be there.
    Its lost the daily uptrend for most of 2019, overall I would guess its then more negative then it has been in its previous action despite many sells its generally gained but now needs to reformulate a trend having lost that particular one and failed the test to get back over the fence onto that highway



blue line is just 2 day momentum, the first point in any bullish aim

Jeez! Bears are hungry for n00bs flesh. Boring! Hopefully, the n00bs will rebuy again, otherwise they will be left out of the train. I wonder how many of them that sold at 3K area for 3 months rebought higher or became hater nocoiners. The same will happen wiith those that sell now, if they don't commit suicide when they see the prices next year. But I don't care! I am going to play some rock with a friend of mine.

There will be people earning FIAT with day trading, Some might earn extra BTC (what is the true goal)

But most of them Will end up losing as FIAT as BTC, HODLers Will win as usual!

Whoever came up with the saying "Markets Take The Stairs Up And The Elevator Down" deserves an sMerit. But he/she is probably long dead and would hate crypto anyway.
