selling wise i have to treat corn just like any other asset. in my mind thats just the way i do it. bitcoin is both a investment and a tool to meet goals. i use it like any other tool. but it is the best tool ive ever seen.
You are a stubborn one, so probably some of your following of Gresham's law happens to be more subliminal rather than your lame attempts at equality.... (hate to say that you were starting to sound a wee bit like searing for a while, there... with your seemingly both loving and hating of bitcoin at the same time. stubborn? errr yeah, heh. basically i have stuck to the plan i made many years ago when i got into bitcoin. and im more on a glide path right now. which is going to be a different strategy than those who are climbing. but i have reallocated the percentage of these "classes" over the years too, and bitcoin has been much more prominent of late. both from a sound money point of view and a ridiculously preforming asset/investment. if push comes to shove, bitcoin will be the last thing to sell if it comes to that. however as much as i believe bitcoin is the future of money/wealth/store of value/whatever you want to call it i do live in the present. and i do realize that my "plan," while it has worked in the past, may need drastic revision at any point. never stop learning.

Anything that adds up to being good for Bitcoin is welcome. Top 3 Reasons Gold (XAUUSD) Is Ready to Set a New All-Time HighHere are the top three reasons why gold (XAUUSD) is poised to set a new all-time high, and how many of the same reasons that make the precious metal exceptionally bullish could eventually bode well for Bitcoin as well. The only asset that theoretically offers more trust, is Bitcoin, due to a lack of a third-party controlling the decentralized, digitally scarce asset.

A truly bizarre virus it hops from place to place. If this continues, election want be necessary. Only retards make charts (data sets) with completely unrelated metrics. And the only ones dumber than they are are the ones who believe those metrics correlate.

I was attempting to razz you a little bit with strong language, and surely, you do seem to be less in an accumulation stage, so surely there can seem to be contradictions in an approach that has gotten past the early accumulation stages, which you probably did most of that many years ago... .. and even I have largely been in a maintenance stage since about 2017, even though there may be some times that I accumulate or inject a bit more value, too... and also there are times that involve liquidation, too, and it is not exactly fitting into a description of a system that is weighted in any specific direction.. , but instead a combination of factors.. that should be accounted for differently from someone who still had not reached his/her target BTC accumulation levels. but i have reallocated the percentage of these "classes" over the years too, and bitcoin has been much more prominent of late. both from a sound money point of view and a ridiculously preforming asset/investment. if push comes to shove, bitcoin will be the last thing to sell if it comes to that.
Sounds like a crude and real world description of Gresham's law combined with reallocation motivations. however as much as i believe bitcoin is the future of money/wealth/store of value/whatever you want to call it i do live in the present. and i do realize that my "plan," while it has worked in the past, may need drastic revision at any point.

Fair enough. If all of a sudden, some very large and unanticipated expense rolled into your door.. you might have to say fuck. And, you might have liquidate a decently large portion of your bitcoin's even though it was either last or towards the end of you liquidation list. Nice for us to have those kinds of options, even though they do not necessarily resolve all issues that might end up coming in our direction.. including some major issues that could undermine our bitcoin stash, too..

Current recommended fee - 158 sat/byte It’s butthurt miners absolutely fuming at the block reward halving so they’re prioritising high fee transactions to try & make some money back. People are paying higher & higher fees to try & get a quick confirmation.
Edit - mempool is massive
this is precisely how markets work, and saving us from chain freeze This is true but these sudden spikes can catch you out. I was sending my cousin some small amount in bitcoin for some silver rounds he had dropped off ( I am just trying to get him into bitcoin a bit. I know he will start collecting it and long term it is going to be better than him only stacking silver ) I left it in default settings on electrum and the fee must have shot up so I didnt get even 1 confromation for many hours. Didn't think it would work and someone said it will just be forgotten in the end and will not go through. I sent him it again with a far larger fee. Now he got them both. Says he wants payment in bitcoin everytime now:) I said he can keep it. I had a very good couple of weeks on just one alt coin that I didnt buy very long before and will be heading for near on 2btc soon. Crazy times. As a quick question are the traders on this thread expecting low 8's again before going past 10.2? And if we go past 10.2 the next hard resistance will be at low 14s? Considering a tiny gamble now I had a good win.

Let it take a day or so to confirm, there are mempool dips during the day. Bitcoin got you spoiled. And activate replace-by-fee when using Electrum. This allows updating the fee after the transaction was broadcast if it turns out that the first estimate was insufficient. The setting can be found at Tools > Preferences > Fees > Enable Replace-by-Fee.

J.K. Rowling is starting to piss me off on Twitter now, begging for attention. Nobody cares if you don’t want to invest in bitcoin, we don’t need your worthless fiat to moon, silly old boomer cunt.
She has millions of followers so look at the positive and take this as a free publicity. who knows if some of her followers might end up buying some BTC.

In other words, I would not presume anything even close to full knowledge coming from anyone merely because they had heard what bitcoin is and they are able to describe it in one or two sentences.

Agree 100% Pretty sure none of the replies will help anyone with that! My larger point I suppose, was that I don't think the next leg up will be people buying because they saw a J.K tweet, but because they need to buy it.

Yikes! Phew: San Marino has had 41 deaths out of a population of 33,000.
So that suggests about 3,300 cases or about 10% of the population.
So San Marino has by far the highest death rate in the world per head of population but is a long way from herd immunity.
But, but: - A dog and three cats in the Netherlands have been infected with Corona.
Now I'm scared.

My larger point I suppose, was that I don't think the next leg up will be people buying because they saw a J.K tweet, but because they need to buy it. Well, Room 101, you have been around the block a few times, so you are no newbie to the bitcoinspace, and likely you realize that a lot of measurements of differences end up being on the margins - in other words, sometimes perceptions and even just the fact that a bunch of friends in a social group keep talking about bitcoin causes other people in the group to "look into the matter" more closely and can make a difference between whether they buy some bitcoin or just stay on the sidelines. Probably, you are correct with any suggestion that bitcoin likely gives few shits about whether these JK Rowling fans buy bitcoin or not, but in the end, we have all kinds of fringe groups and fringe uses in bitcoin, and on the margins, these fractionalized groups can end up making some differences in terms of network effects and spreading the word and raising awareness, even if bitcoin hardly gives any shits whether they join in or not, and it is NOT like bitcoin needs them.. but at the same time, bitcoin cannot exclude them either... just like it cannot exclude Roger Ver or Craig Wright when they come back to bitcoin on their knees.. and who cares whether Roger Ver or Craig Wright come back to bitcoin, which is likely inevitable that they will anyhow, and their coming back also makes differences on the margins in terms of increasing usage, network effects etc. About retarded replies... what else you can expect from the nerd community when talking with the opposite sex Bitcoin does not discriminate. She accepts: retards, fanaticals, drug dealers, MILFs, grandmas, refugees, computer nerds, normies, financial wizards, governments, agriculture workers, non-profit organizations, Corona virus survivors, maids, famous authors (even if they write dumb stuff), construction workers, nobel laureates, Chinamen, 14-year old snot-nosed brats, democrats, porn stars, daddies contributing towards a child's college fund, homeless abled-bodied young men, priests, and whatever classification of person or institution is thrown her way. Sure some of them will be tricked out of their coins along the way, but bitcoin no doesn't care.

From the University of Sussex "The contrast with the last major global financial catastrophe is telling. Following the Lehman Brothers collapse in September 2008, the correlations between the S&P 500 index and gold, or the Swiss Franc, or US Treasuries were all around minus 40%. During March and April 2020 the correlation between the S&P 500 index and gold was plus 20%. Even more surprising is the behaviour of the bitcoin/US dollar rate – since this cryptocurrency emerged in January 2009 its behaviour was completely uncorrelated with any traditional asset, but as the S&P 500 index plummeted in early March 2020, so did bitcoin. Their correlation was plus 63% then, and it remains unsettlingly high at 40%." http://www.sussex.ac.uk/broadcast/read/52005
