Were you born with a silver spoon in your mouth sir?
lol hardly lol was it hardly stuffed in ? er...read the book (it looked over many centuries). It does not give an answer to what is right and what is wrong and/or what is preferable and what it not. It simply described what happened and when. To your first statement: No, the disparity does not steadily increase. It increased for a few centuries, correct, then decreased between 1930-1940 (following WWI/WWII combo, separated by just 20 years) until 1975-1980, then steadily increased again until now. To your second statement: yes, there not many instances where the poor move several strata in one generation. https://www.amazon.com/Great-Leveler-Walter-Scheidel/dp/0691192677/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=the+great+levelerThanks I'll buy it by the end of the month. Ain't got spare cash to swat a fly atm. Unless there's an online free / pdf / bootleg version of it somewhere, then you can let me know. But let's not forget, its just one book from one author - and it is socio-economics, something that is very hard to predict, even when using past data as example. Think of what happened during the black plague. I remember reading some charts about the economic impact it had on the wealthy vs poor, if I find it I'll stick it here.

Good example...in the aftermath real wages apparently increased at least twofold and inequality decreased. Albeit, many millions died as the result of that disease. Hence, going forward, it is reasonable to predict that nobody would like it if some historical factors would temporarily "solve" the inequality.

Even if I weren't dry, it usually feels kind of wasteful to spend merit on legendary members. However, sometimes... TERA got a lot right, and was shamefully treated for it.
Word. I wasn't the hardest hitting guy, yet still regret doing it. avatar-sized  Wealth disparity is not the worst thing...historical forces that typically remove the disparity are much more disagreeable. I am reading a book that systematically looked at what reduces inequality..and turns out only major wars and deadly pandemics (plaque in medieval Europe) were able to temporarily reduce inequality.
Please have WOsMerits instead, gents. +1 each. I am done even entertaining anyone on the left. You, and people like you, do not understand human psychology or economics. You are worthless.
If you have an argument then make it. You have as yet not done so. There is no argument to win.
Shht. Not at bed yet? The grown ups are having a quiet talk. Tut tut. You're good when you stick to the facts happening around you. I, for one, actually appreciated your contribution about the bank - and had to remind myself about the intended use of Smerit before spending my last one on you

4 is round.  4 is not round. 4 has a dick face. If 4 is not round, at least it is nice.... getting back to the original quote from nutildah asserting that 5 is rounder and nicer than 4. I have issues with that conclusory assertion: >>>>> Upping the prize to 5 Merits just because its a nice round number<<<<<<< In other words, nutildah intentionally and purposefully giving 4 a bum rap.... resulting in favoritism to his lil butt buddy, 5.

Communism on the rise? No - see China and the former Soviet states.
Totalitarianism, yes - lurching that way - but it is appearing in the form of nationalism and as far as I can see it seems to be coming more from the right wing than the left in the West.
We know you are a leftie so your opinion carries no weight. But for general information, culture always moves from right to left over time. Nationalism is a right wing thing. It is on the decline, and has been for decades. Multiculturalism is the opposite of nationalism. So your prejudice about me wins the argument? And who is this 'we' you speak for? I am a capitalist and generally libertarian actually, but no matter. However, just because I am not as jackbooted as you does not make my opinion of no value. I was attacking your sloppy and farcical arguments, not you. You, I pity. If you think nationalism is in decline you are plainly deluded. America first? Brexit? AFD in Germany? Ergogan in Turkey... Poland's Law and Justice party... Orban in Hungary.... Seriously? The liberal consensus of the post-war West is in decline, not nationalism. Everyone printing money, 'strong men' in politics with idealistic simplistic solutions often involving stretching the truth..? Sounds more like a reversion to the politics of the 1930s to me. And if you are leaving the West because of communism, as you advocate everyone should - do remember to shut the door behind you on your way out? Back on ignore. I am done even entertaining anyone on the left. You, and people like you, do not understand human psychology or economics. You are worthless. If you have an argument then make it. You have as yet not done so. There is no argument to win. Kurious has solid arguments. You on the other hand, are merely ranting.

I don’t think she was that much of a messiah. She basically just correctly called that we’d have a big correction when it was going parabolic. That’s what’s happened every time with bitcoin during each cycle. It’s not hard to presume it’ll go down eventually once it begins to look unsustainable. If I remember correctly she called a $5,000 - $6,000 bottom which when you look at %’s was miles off because we went to low $3,000’s.

Correct Tera calls:
2013 Pump and top 2013 Crash and bull trap to 700 2013 Bleed out
Predicted wave to 20k back in 2013
Said that new US exchanges would fuel a new run before the 2017 parabola started
2017 Called multiple crashes as temporary corrections 2017 Called for longs on Bcash (before its wild pump, sold at .5 like me) 2017 Picked the ETH ratio bottom 2017 Played Doge coin perfect 2017 Called the top within a few % (sold at 18.8k)
Called the bounce to 17k as the worst time to buy, last chance suckers entry Predicted a fall to 5-8k followed by a 100% bounce to 12k Followed by a new fall to 5.5 and then a bounce to 10 Called for a supercycle low of probably 3k
The only area he was unsure about was the longer term: if a supercycle 4.0 would hit and push it to a new ATH. I am calling bubble 4.0 as topped out at 14k and a new bear market has now begun. Long term the odds have dramatically increased for 20k to remain as the forever ATH.

Damn! Real life got me in the wrong moment!
EDIT: I swear I saw serveria.com message as the winner.
Yes me too. Someone has deleted posts, this is not serious, gentlemen. Remember page 10000? That was some serious deletion jockeying. Damn dude, you're on the 10k page!!! I was posting like a mofo to stay on the 10k page. Blablabla you just angry because you were shorting and price didnt drop a bit  LOL You can't blame him for lashing out in frustration when his trolling doesn't work. Ok, I see the first post on the page is an NLC post. I guess that explains the deletion thingy. I was sure adamstgBit was involved.

This is getting boring.
Only a couple weeks to Q4 and still over $10K though. The only thing I would not expect at all is the price to keep sideways for too much longer.
Anyway... this is (still) fine.

Yeah, and she also started calling blow off top from $3k and upwards, so yeah, sooner or later she was going to be 100% correct. It should be a bit difficult to be impressed by such braggarts, but seems that guys (and maybe even a gal or two) just love wannabe sorcerers who use charts.

Who fucking gives a ratt's ass about supposed calls from two years ago... You hoping she comes back to tell us something that we don't already know, as she knows about the future? Get fucking real. There is no need to be praising such. If you have your own predictions, observations or stories, then tell them, we don't need another person telling us what shelby says, because we doesn't care none.

Just that the two occurred at the same time. For someone so fond of writing you're quite shit at reading. On a different note. Nice to see you're working on that brevity thing. Could still cull some dead space though.

Yes, I recall that Terra2 predicted 5K/3K bottom for the next crash. He/she was a skilled trader, who also made many mistakes (I remember he/she admitted it in 2018). Eventually, Terra2 got some nasty sickness because of the non stop watching the charts. I understand your desire of idolizing him/her. But to make such out of the ass prediction on his/her behalf is hillarious. 14K was visited for a second time this year after the famous 2017. To call a bubble top a price visited for a second time after a long (in terms of BTC) bear market is really stupid. What about the halving next year? With a strong support around 10K this year, even Terra2 would expect a much higher top for the next bull run. If for any reason 10K is the last long lasting support, we can expect a crash from 70-80K to 10K in the worst case scenario, not 14K to way below 10K, lol.

Surely you are a retard with your "what if" bullshit. Trying to coax people to play around with their coins in a kind of unnecessary gambling way. I have made a whole fucking lot of money with bitcoin, without any need to gamble. Go figure. Others have done so, as well, with a HOLD and accumulating strategy.

Or you want to pleasure us with your BIG block worshiping, even though in these parts, we don't give any shits about your various bitcoin attack vector predilections and wishing for onchain scaling or whatever other nonsensical talking points might be your current whining hobby in thinking that there is something wrong with bitcoin.
