If you want to have a little fun, you mix it 50/50 with hydrogen peroxide, other than that, never hear of any explosions/fires related to car batteries. Unless you decide to charge them with the voltage of thors hammer.

I have seen a car battery blow, while driving down the road, long ago. We heard a pretty big 'fooom' while driving along, pulled over and left it running. Popped the hood, the only part of the battery visible was the top, with cables still clamped on. That side of the engine compartment was a mess of little plastic pieces, and (presumably) sulfuric acid.

"Ron, don't shut'er off, let's go straight to Walmart and buy a battery".

It was an old crappy car, perhaps the voltage regulator did not stop charging when it should, and an excess of hydrogen under the hood caught a spark. It was a crappy old car.

... global total cases outside China have accelerated dramatically in the last 20 days.
Now doubling every 2 days, previously was doubling every 6-7 days.
Maybe an artifact of testing and reporting in newly infected regions, but disconcerting nevertheless.

the lithiums have made impressive strides in energy density, outpacing your Trojans by a fair bit

that said, and I am quite aware of the dangers inherent in H2SO4, if I had one of those power walls it would be installed in an airtight bunker some distance from the dwelling...

when lithium decides to do the bad, it is really bad

True. For a house system weight and energy density aren't as big a problem as in a car (where you have to like move it). So L16 or T105 batteries can get you a lot of power for a reasonable price without the major fire problem of lithiums.

As for hydrogen I've never seen issues with lead, however I guy I knew did blow the bed off his battery powered truck with flooded NiCD batteries. Those last forever but really can gas hydrogen on charge. Oh well.

100ah AGM batteries are quite nice as well but a bit more pricey per AH. Any way you go, you need to figure out how much power you need per day, then build your solar panels to put that much power back in 1/2 day (factoring in cloudy days) with a battery capacity of at least 3-4 times your load for rainy days and the like. Thus if you want to run the fridge (200 watts*24=4.8kw) some lights (about 1kw a day) and a toaster (1,500 watts for an hour a day) you're at 7kw. Thus a 28kw battery pack and 14kw of solar will do it. Assuming 5 hours of sun per day (and you factored in the 2x oversize for solar) and you're talking a ~2kw array and if the batteries are 48v then a 500ah battery pack or 16 T105's.

Takes more power than you think.

I think Bitcoin can take a good bullish leap.

Very interesting dynamic on the TOTAL chart. There seems to be a generational pivot precisely at the intersection of the two most important diagonals on the entire chart dating back to the ATH.

Could BTC be coiling in preparation for something huge?

If the crypto market does dip lower before incurring some intense upwards momentum, it is possible that this formation will be validated, meaning that a massive movement is imminent.

King Bitcoin : The Ultimate Safe Haven Status Update-

1. King Bitcoin is up approximately 22 percent from its Dec. 31 price when Coronavirus first began its reign of terror.

 https://www.cnn.com/2020/02/06/health/wuhan-coronavirus-timeline-fast-facts/index.html

2. Gold, the primitive safe haven of our ancestors, puked back much of its gains today with an over 3 percent drop. It has only gained a mere 3.7% since Dec. 31. Yes, there is a new sheriff in town.   

3. Silver has performed terribly and Roach may never come back again. After puking and losing over 6 percent of its value today, it is down 6.75% since Dec 31.

4. Global stocks are down about 8.44% as measured by Vanguard Total World Index https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VT/

Only one of these assets is having its supply cut in half in 73 days. Its good to be King.

Coinbase Is Testing Clearview’s Controversial Facial Recognition Technology

Internal documents obtained by BuzzFeed revealed New York-based Clearview AI – a startup facing legal threats from Apple and Google as well as calls for greater scrutiny into its practices – had already shared or sold its technology to roughly 2,200 companies and authorities around the world.

Clearview's software trawls websites and social media platforms to scrape data and match images posted online to persons of interest. Coinbase was among the organizations that had used the software for at least one search, BuzzFeed reported Thursday.

A Coinbase spokesperson confirmed in the article the exchange had tested Clearview's software regarding its "unique needs around security and compliance," but added customer data had not been used in any of its tests.

"As a thought experiment, imagine there was a base metal as scarce as gold but with the following properties: - boring grey in colour - not a good conductor of electricity - not particularly strong, but not ductile or easily malleable either - not useful for any practical or ornamental purpose and one special, magical property: - can be transported over a communications channel If it somehow acquired any value at all for whatever reason, then anyone wanting to transfer wealth over a long distance could buy some, transmit it, and have the recipient sell it" - Nakamoto

Thanks, i'll have a look.
Holding a couple of IOTA crap, maybe even down to zero. Otherwise it's the king only i put my spare fiat into  

EDIT: Real life calling me, (back)read you guys later! Have a nice one

50 WMA /350 DMA ($8400) is hodling nicely. If this line hodls, till we get out of the triangle, it is a good bull sign. No $6k. No $7k. Moon.
