1. Transmission defective on my car: $350 (gone) 2. lots of other stuff that went wrong today 3. lost time fixing these things, that's why i finally was 4. MISSING THE DIPThanks, Karma. Whatever i have done to deserve this, i will pay it back to you  EDIT: Bought for a mere $100 now, count to three and we'll get a giant red candle. Guaranteed. 1) You haven't been eaten by a grue. That's pretty good. 2) $350 for a car transmission repair is cheap. What's wrong with it? C It's the seal of the bowden cable of the gear selector in the engine compartment. It breaks after some time, moisture creeps in and on a cold winter morning the whole thing freezes to rigidity. You have to replace the whole cable (well done, vauxhall...). When the car was new, the very first cable held up four years, when it became stuck the first time, got replaced by an "optimized version", which broke after three years now Two years of warranty, by the way...

You're putting an irrational amount of weight on peer review and science. Lots of science today is just career academia and not science whatsoever. It's also a highly indisputable fact that you have to tickle the right balls to get funding in academia, unless you're doing basic research that can't in any way be used to drive political or corporate narratives.
Furthermore, it's also a well established fact that Physics has only access to some 95% of what they currently believe to be making up the universe. And even the remaining 5% is quite poorly understood.
Hence, any argument asserting that "X is a fairy tale/conspiracy/whatever because there's no peer reviewed paper" is inherently unscientific, irrational, and in fact deeply dangerous to actual progress. Indeed it is no more than religious dogma in a different form.
I put my weight into logic and evidence confirming that logic that is presented to me. The more evidence, the more weight. That is how science works and it has never failed us throughout human history. Yes, there are some quacks/degenerates/money driven "scientists" who publish bullshit papers for money, but those are weeded out very quickly and nobody takes them seriously. And nobody who spends 10-13 years of his life obtaining a PhD and 20+ years building a reputation is going to risk losing his credibility in the science community to add a few dollars to the pitiful paycheck a physicist gets. If a scientist wants money, he changes fields. You can make a shitload with a PhD in non-science related fields. But in science fields? You would be lucky to remain on the payroll of a postdoc. I do not know where you get the 95% and 5% thing but if you are referring to dark matter and dark energy, its the other way around. The amount we know is so tiny its laughable. But then again, how do we know how much we don't know? So that argument is BS. I am not saying it's a fairy tale. But if you are going to make claims that go against thousands of years of heavy evidence being built one tiny bit at a time and carefully scrutinized throughout history by generations of scientists, then maybe provide some substantial proof, and not just a few articles about "powerlines probably cause cancer because some random kid got cancer". If anything, the ones hoping to play on fears and make some money or are politically driven, are the ones getting paid to write those BS articles. I would love to explain the math and physics but I kinda feel like a medical doctor explaining to a patient who does not want to listen that essential oils do not cure cancer. No point in wasting your time with lost cases. Edit: here is a fun video explaining it all in a simple fashion for simple folks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfgT6zx4k3Q

 The blog is hung on the wall  , I do not like to leave things unfinished, it is almost ready, there are all the hats with their respective links to the bitcointalk and bpip profiles, this small database, is an easy way to access any Hat user whose name you do not remember, in the blog you will find them all indexed alphabetically, you can also admire the designs in their large size with all the details in sight. https://wohats.blogspot.com/

standard copy paste snipped ~ It's a dystopian, permissioned ledger for idiotic bugmen that just empowers an absurdly tyrannical state.

Nice to see you included yourself, although "men" is an extreme word to use for your case. # Any speculation about that unkonwn ? My guess is Calvin & Satoshi
It's my mom's stack man, not pedoCalvin's and faketoshiCraig's. Please don't ask me to prove it.  Kind of the only small quality but big hater answer that could fit into a softforked block post.

Maybe at some point I am going to lose my patience about this topic? I was attempting to give some benefit of the doubt, but the more that I think about it, it seems that the way that you are framing the whole matter is another thread rather than this thread.
There are already rules in this thread, which are pretty much wide open and criticism is allowed, so you are attempting participants in your discussion to agree to a more restrictive set of rule of politeness blah blah blah... Which seems almost that you want the powers of a moderated thread within this thread that is moderated by someone else (largely infofront in this case).
....
Hey JJG, i had a hell of a day today, read your comments on this several times to try to grasp it all. I liked to hear opinions on my "what if..." kind of perspective, obviously in the wrong place? Turned out to be the wrong move, no need to go far beyond that, imo. Don't go raving too much about it. I was just putting the wrong idea in the wrong place, stupidly, but this idea is not that important to me as well that i have to defend anything about it. I would never be so bold to knowingly interrupt this thread (any thread) and assume it was correct to do so. So can we shut the case and have our virtual beer now together?

Metals start breaking out upwards and right at the same time, the visible Jewish hand of the market attempts to rig silver down and imaginary, valueless timestamps up to try and distract goyim away from real money and into using a Chinese social credit score, cashless society slavery system:

It Barted. Just another day in Bitcoinland. Some bears got pissed by the pump from 7100 to 7800 and dumped back to 7100. Clearly, they want to make the impression of a long downtrend, and can't let bull signs to slip out. They have a new tactics. Instead of few big dumps, they just stop the big pumps which require less coins. Well played bears, well played! Hopefully, one day the knife you are catching will cut off your fingers!

You tell us, btw love it that you only appear on fast movements .......... Why? On a serious note: I have other investments/trades that I focus more on right now. I feel bitcoin has become harder to predict and also I'm in it for long term.

Well, wrong again, I usually tend to love or ignore, rather than hate. I dislike dishonest people & liars though, you know - like the ones you are shilling.

I would never be so bold to knowingly interrupt this thread (any thread) and assume it was correct to do so. So can we shut the case and have our virtual beer now together?  That's fine regarding calling a truce. I do think that it is worth noting that I am not really trying to stop you from either posting here or even from asserting your views strongly about what you believe to be the necessary direction of bitcoin from your opinion. On the other hand, when any of us expresses strong opinions sometimes responses from other members are not going to be nice. These are the interwebs, so for example if any member asserts that we should be nice to each other or forms little alliances here and there, that member might end up getting attacked, so the attack is not even necessarily personal. I am not immuned from getting attacked either, so you don't necessarily need to accept that my opinion counts for much more than just one individual chiming in about a topic. By the way, I understand that sometimes there can be a lot going on in personal life, too, and having to juggle personal life issues sometimes might get in the way of communicating in this thread, but also sometimes real life can also screw up investment strategies, because any of us might believe that we have our lives in order, and extra issues, expenses and emergencies do seem to have a tendency to come during BTC correction periods, including the fact that the correction seems to last a lot longer and to go a lot further than we may have been prepared for.
