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

[Hueristic]

I remember how people were making fun of ltc as 5$ coin.

Yeah, I remember when it was a 3 bucks forever and dropped to like a buck and a half and chinese were sucking it all up and I was like "theres to many of those shitcoins to grab any" So I didn't grab any.
Man was i brilliant at that time.

Give it time to play out.

It already did, I wouldn't touch that shit with your BSV now.
well i would toss BSV for it actually.

The creator of C++ has expressed disappointment in the language’s use in BTC mining

it uses as much energy as Switzerland and mostly serves criminals

We've got the same birth-day though...

Current Fiat system uses more energy than (insert continent here) and mostly serves criminals, I don't see the point other than he has his values backwards.

Is it the best chair available? I dunno. But after living with it for a while, it is certainly better for me than (e.g.) an Aeron.

If you want a mesh chair, the Staples Hyken is $159 and pretty similar to all those $1000+  mesh chairs.  It's what I would recommend to people who want one of those $1500 Herman Miller chairs but don't want to pay $1500.  But the mesh chairs aren't going to be as comfortable as finding a well-designed memory foam chair (if they even exist).

I personally don't like mesh seat chairs, but that  $159 Staples Hyken is more comfortable than this $400 "WorkPro Quantum 9000" mesh chair for instance:

Cool beans, I'll be heading to the Casino's in a few for the rest of the week.

I did the art thing

Also out of merit, remind me if I haven’t merited at some point tomo.

Congrats LFC you earned a drink for this victory

Fuck, even at 3-0 City wouldn’t lay down & die
Very, very happy

Reminder.

It's not too hard to figure out. BAKKT customers need not be Bitcoiners. Look at the last day. You could sell a future contract for 9500 or so, by the chart. Well, you could buy BTC at that day's price (as low as 8775), and sell a contract, your assets and liabilities balance, you pocket money. A fair amount. With the only downside being the counterparty risk of the parent company of the mudderfukkin' New York Stock Exchange.

It's a pretty simple calculus. The only miracle is that the volume isn't higher.

You can shave some, but much less than you imply.

“We are actively competing with nations who openly cut interest rates so that now many are actually getting paid when they pay off their loan, known as negative interest,” he said. “Who ever heard of such a thing?”

“Give me some of that,” he said. “Give me some of that money. I want some of that money.”

at least not enough to deter partial reserve bitcoin. Tether, anyone?

Bootstrap post-collapse technology

Winter is coming and Collapse OS aims to soften the blow. It is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that can:

    Run on minimal and improvised machines.
    Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
    Edit text files.
    Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
    Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
    Replicate itself.

There's zillions of A6-A10 chips floating around, so rather than everyone running a command line terminal on a sega master system, since energy consumption and performance per watt would be one of the most important factors in a post-collapse environment, you'd probably be more likely to have linux running on A10 chips via bootrom exploit somehow becoming the new 'gold standard'....or just use one of the million laptops also laying around.

Pointless. There's no way all computers are going to be destroyed, but millions of z80 cpus will be fine and salvageable. That's just a crazy scenario. Now, designing a new post-apocalypse cpu that could be created from low-tech sources and an os to go with it, that's a good idea.

Bullshit statement based on false premise:  "resistance to censorship and violence hack".  Bitcoin transaction validators are GIANT FUCKING FOOTBALL STADIUMS with a laughably high surface attack vector and are also small in number (due to it being impossible to create a decentralized digital currency because transaction validators are always designed to centralize).

For anyone to make a statement claiming shitcoin transaction validators are somehow resistant to government censorship, ones that actually matter would need to number at a minimum of something like 10,000+....NOT THREE TO TEN RETARDED FOOTBALL STADIUMS RUN BY CHINESE COMMUNISTS.  In current form, Bitcoin is an easily destroyed paper tiger.  The fact governments worldwide make no attempt to do so tells you it's a government created scam to try and trick people into a cashless society slavery system and away from physical metals.

As faulty as "democracy" might be, this is one of the examples of when it works.

A pronouncement by USOC is about as far removed from democracy as it gets within this here 'Merka. Well, other than 'rule making' by unelected bureaucrats in the executive branch.

*pfft* While I guess Staples might be hiding the good stuff from the people who wander in, I've never sat on anything at Staples that was worth the effort to carry home, even were it free of cost.

But the mesh chairs aren't going to be as comfortable as finding a well-designed memory foam chair (if they even exist).

Says the person who -- in the very same sentence -- admits he's never sat in one.

Anything you say, bug.

Compares pretty favorably to any other low risk investment. Crushes it, in fact. Even before you add to your calculus the premium for selling the future.

Jeffries a latecomer? Hardly.

Back in college, I built an 8085 clone outta MSI gate chips. Not quite raw materials (I, Pencil anyone?), but a step in that direction.
