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

[AlcoHoDL]

Had a medical today for my new health insurance package. Received a gloved finger up my arse 

Bitcoin, LFC, nothing matters today. I’ve lost my self respect, my dignity & it still fucking hurts

I've had "the finger" too, a few years ago. No anesthetic. Was only for examination, for "feeling" the area. Was not as bad as I thought it would be.

And what's up with you guys? Are you all a bunch of gays? Two pages of posts and no #no homo tag? Damn!

My last sMerits for you. On the video, 2nd question and you are going to talk about Bitcion...

"Crashed my computer... this bitcoin thing is stupid" 😜

explain

In a long shameful convoluted story, I find myself with a new tricked out MacBook Pro 16", and a Time Machine brain transplant from the last machine. Not yet fully cloned. New MBP runs only Catalina. Apple has seen fit to -- get this -- prevent users from writing to the root directory of the filesystem.

Now I need to figure out how I want to map a nearly four-decade-old directory structure to the absurd dictates of my new environ.

jojo69's hell may be different - dunno.

Good news, everyone.

While it is not really well documented, there is a workaround.

Apple has created a new type of symlink-like filesystem construct. Using this synthetic link, one can create a 'ghost link' in the root of the filesystem. This link can redirect to another place in your filesystem, like any normal symlink. It does not, however, exist on disk. It is instantiated at boot. One configures these links through an fstab-like mechanism: a new file /etc/synthetic.conf.

After creating a link using this mechanism and rebooting, my filesystem looks like it used to. I am now happily restoring over 400,000 files -- over 220GB -- from Time Machine to this new phantom filesystem location. So all my old scripts and such should work just fine.

More info at man synthetic.conf.

Why Apple's second-level support was utterly unaware of this workaround is a mystery. But there you go.

how do you feel about macos being slowly and now rapidly disfigured into a cellular phone-home applianceOS ?

Not particularly good. For the moment, however, I can still bend it to my will. And I still find it a better solution for my personal productivity machine than either Win or any *nix - both of which I use for what they are each respectively good for.

My only Apple product was an iPhone. Using it felt like I was a kid locked in a glass house, that had to ask for permission from Daddy to do anything useful, and always had to do it the way Daddy wanted, because "Daddy knows best". Of course, some people like that. Not me.

Occasional use of my buddies' Apple gear was enough for me to feel patronized. Add the extortionate price/value ratio, and I never owned anything Apple.

Damn, didn’t even think.

... Apple gear ... Add the extortionate price/value ratio,

Common misconception.

Sure, it's true in some cases. Other cases, Apple is the price/performance leader. As I mentioned above, try pricing out a system from Dell or other Winbloze machine manufacturer equivalent to that listed upper-level Mac Pro, and tell me how much you're saving.

I note no Apple detractor is yet to take up the challenge.

Nice to see that y'all are getting the dental work done, take good care of yourselves!

[d_eddie]

I strongly believe that England will come out of this as the winner.

England may, but what about Scotland? Or Northern Ireland?

Yep, the idea was that we would be laying low for a while...so why not upgrade the teeth.

And cheap here in Panama (see: https://ocean.builders/panama-new-home/ ).

Bitcoin Production Cost, by Charles Edwards, this article has interesting data, I have seen many threads describing many claims of high cost, this article seems fairly impartial and informative.

- The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI)


Source: https://www.cbeci.org/

Cambridge’s calculation assumes an equally weighted basket of profitable mining equipment which is perhaps the most thorough approach to assessing mining hardware utilisation, depreciation and therefore energy consumption globally today

- Bitcoin’s Production Cost



With Cambridge electricity data, as a result 5 years of Bitcoin production costs.

We term this the Bitcoin Miner Price and it is calculated here as the Bitcoin Price + (Daily Transaction Fees) / (Daily Bitcoin’s mined).

In short term.



According to this 2019 it has been less profitable compared to 5 years ago.

Bitcoin Production Cost doubling at 2016 Halving. Estimated Production cost increase was tempered by the phase in of the significantly more energy efficiency Antminer S9

The influence of each new Bitcoin in 2020 onwards will drop significantly with the Halving. Therefore, as alluded to by Satoshi above, the reliability of the Bitcoin Electrical Cost as a price floor may reduce with time.

I should find a 'poll' link, but from what I remember it is very likely now that Brexit has been settled by the General U.K. Election that Scotland will 'likely' IMHO go its own way

and 'break' out of the U.K.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-13/u-k-election-sets-up-a-new-standoff-over-scottish-independence

I should probably look and see what this would mean for Bitcoin in Scotland etc...I'll leave that for others.

Both parties believe they're in a much stronger position than before so they're both going to rebuff whatever the other suggests.

The SNP have mixed up the desire for independence with not being Labour or Conservative which is probably a much bigger factor in most of the votes for them.

I'd love it if Scotland did tell England to piss off but it's a very lengthy shot indeed.

unchain that unicorn already

What? They're supposed to wear a glove?

After backreading, i have to say i'm also missing a few other #nohomo tags  

Business as usual, BTC following the downward channel, waiting for the trend change on higher timeframes.
Good evening @$7248.

I doubt the Tories would let Scotland leave. They need that oil to subsidize their agenda.

It's the way of the rotter....
