'The White House is considering ways to incentivize U.S. households to invest in the stock market. Under the proposal, a portion of income would become tax-free for investment purposes.'

I'll bet they won't let you put it in anything fun.

Pretty sure they'll decommission these cute lil fellas once this whole thing blows over and not use them to implement the surveillance state that bit sooner than predicted originally.

These will be fitted with flamethrowers to take care of the infected

China is already a surveillance state. They're doing us a service in a way, it should be more difficult for our politicians to pretend it's all for the sake of children or something like that.

One can hope !

The third best month of Bitcoin.

Few people realize we are currently in the third best #bitcoin month ever. Only Dec 2017 ($13.880) and June 2019 ($10.760) closed higher.

Currently, playing 'when to buy into more BTC game'...thinking I'll wait for a 'weekend weak dump' maybe?

Those currently who know my 'track record' on timing such, be sure to adjust your purchases accordingly, so you can

'mock' my 'timing' later.

(Hey, the wrong price at the wrong time is how I roll. On the other hand, if you HODL long enough ..it does not matter)

Had the same thoughts yesterday then thought to myself anything I buy now in regards to a few years from now is just noise so I just bought. It was only 100 bucks or so but every bit adds up

Well, I recall that you were selling items from your attic, and so you bought some BTC in parts of 2019 with that generated extra money.  

What is the source of the extra money that you have this time?  

Is it just extra savings that you have accumulated from your regular income over the past year or so?  

You did not want to buy BTC with that money earlier in 2019 as that money was coming in, but now, after BTC has gone up about 60% over the past two months you want to buy more BTC with that extra money that had been flowing in through the year?  The upwards BTC price movement, currently, is causing you to feel that you are underinvested in BTC because you are thinking that you might be able to get rich quick.. over the next 1-2 years?

I am not going to say that you are going to be wrong in that kind of 1-2 year period, even if it is unclear about whether you will benefit in the short run or have better buying opportunities in the coming weeks or months before the halvening.

These days, I prefer to think about any new money that goes into bitcoin to have at least a 4 year investment time horizon.  Of course, no problem if BTC prices go shooting up from here, so then you would not have to stick with the 4 year investment time horizon thinking because once your injection of value is in profits you have options to pull it out at any time, but anyhow, since you and I should be in a similar position regarding having had already largely accumulated most of our BTC,  it seems strange to me that someone who had already largely accumulated in the 3 digits would be experiencing any kind of meaningful FOMO feelings after about a 60% BTC price appreciation in the past two months, not withstanding any inclination just to do a bit of dollar cost averaging investing from time to time, as money comes in, as heslo's above response suggests.

Bitcoin Optech Newsletter #84

This week’s newsletter seeks help testing a Bitcoin Core release candidate and summarizes some discussion about the BIP119 OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY proposal. Also included is our regular section about notable code and documentation changes.

News
OP_CHECKTEMPLATEVERIFY (CTV) Workshop: video (morning, afternoon) and a transcript are available from a recent workshop about BIP119 CTV. If this proposed soft fork is adopted, users would be able to use a new CTV opcode to create covenants with less interaction than would be required using current consensus rules. Several possible applications of the opcode were discussed, with most attention being focused on vaults and compressed payment batching (sometimes called congestion control transactions, see Newsletter #48). A significant part of the workshop also consisted of critical feedback from the audience and replies to the criticism. A final discussion covered how and when to attempt to get BIP119 activated, including when a PR for it should be opened to the Bitcoin Core repository, what activation mechanism it should use (e.g. BIP9 versionbits), and what range of activation dates would be appropriate if it uses a miner-activated soft fork mechanism such as BIP9.

Subsequent to the workshop, CTV proposer Jeremy Rubin announced a mailing list to help coordinate future review and discussion of the BIP119 proposal.

"For one coronavirus patient at ground zero of the outbreak, the journey from infection to recovery was a nightmare scenario that entailed multiple hospital visits, symptoms so severe he thought he would die and quarantine under police watch"

He is now realizing life is too short to be a nocoiner fiatcuck and making his first Bitcoin purchase.

Coronavirus=Moon as people realize YOLO and start to FOMO


Important to note this guy is young and still needed lots of blood transfusions, and expensive Aids medication to save his life.

"Once the #CCP was very proud of its #P4 (#BSL4) lab, and created quite some promotional videos of it. We just added English titles to those. 中共官方宣傳其P4實驗室的視頻，我們給加了英文字幕"


Newbs, take notes at how much you can trust a gov and buy non gov money. Bitcoin will never make you sick except with sick gainz.
