Sorry John. It didn't work 20 years ago.

You have about as much credibility as Craig Wright.

JJG in the Top 10

Demanding a word count.

Yes, those stats would be interesting to see. I bet JJG would crush all competition.

Admittedly, I skip reading some of his most lengthy posts, as I'm just skimming through the new posts quickly due to lack of time.

Anyway, my (hopefully in a near future) hat off to you JJG. You are a great contributor to the forum in general and the WO-thread in particular.

And you looked like such a normal person with good judgment, you had promise.

hahahaahaha

Don't worry, Arriemoller.  Through the years I have had plenty of haters, and I don't even consider having haters to be a very BIG DEAL.  Probably, if I had to read some of my stuff (which I tend NOT to), then I would likely become annoyed as fuck, too.  So, yeah, I feel sorry for you guys (and gal) having enough patience to put up with me.  .(don't get me wrong.. I am NOT suggesting that I am planning to change my ways....  I am planning to continue to be annoying... maybe not as bad as V8 or jojo.. or the blindmayor who disappeared.. or rosewater foundation (same persona).... or bawb.. #nohomo....  or hhhhhhhhaaaaaaiirrrryyyyy (who I heard is NOT even hairy) ... . .but surely somewhere in that neighborhood...  hahahahaha)  

His personality is way too abrasive for me, I have him on ignore.

Except for when you don't.

No I will not read and respond to the report, it takes to long and isn't relevant to the Bolsonaro thing.
It's a trick old as the hills, you throw a report (that you usually haven't read yourself and) out there for your opponents to read hoping they will just throw in the towel.
And the fact that it is published in a reputable magazine, does not mean that it isn't biased.

Reputable periodicals will typically vet studies like this quite intensely. Peer review isn't perfect, but it's far more objective than an NRA sponsored report printed in their house organ or a random blog post on the Daily Stormer.

I will respond to the headline though.

So you're sticking your fingers in your ears and going "nyah nyah"? :-)

What are they  saying with their report? basically, they are just stating the obvious, People without guns don't commit suicide with guns. Is that even in dispute? The real question is, does it matter? did suicides go down? or did people go on committing suicide with other means? I think you know the answer. People without guns don't have have accidents with guns, again quite a nobrainer, if you own something that you can have an accident with some people are going to have accidents, if that is a knife, car, gun, or anything else really doesn't matter. Accidents happen, what's their point?
And lastly, gun related homicides fell, again, yes so what? that's to be expected, but did homicides fall? or did people just switch weapons? I'm guessing the latter. They just don't like guns and are a using science paper to scare people by stating the obvious.

1) Read it. Check the data. Think and be willing to change your mind if the data is accurate.
2) Cut it out with the strawmen arguments. Focus on one discussion at a time.

Now, on Bolsonaros relaxation of gun laws, his point is that if good citizens have the ability to shoot the bad guys, the bad guys will think twice before trying to rob someone, in the beginning that might very well lead to more gun deaths, as the bad guys are being culled, but that's not a bad thing, it's just according to plan.

Sounds great! Got any studies or evidence to back this up, I seem to recall people saying there were plenty of them. I guess Dirty Harry movies would count for something...

If the answer is you're just pulling this out of your ass, that's fine. It's called bullshitting and people love to do it. Just never, NEVER confuse bullshit with data or try to suggest that bullshit should be taken over data and facts. And the statement "this time it's different" is equally bullshit.

Here I'll bullshit with you: I think people should be allowed to own and carry .303 to .50 cal heavy machine guns. Partially because they would be useful to fight off pirates on a seastead, partially because the chance of walking into a mall with one and shooting people is pretty much zero. But that's bullshit, it's not supported by any data.

Really. Play with BS all you want, but when you need to make a real decision always follow the data and urge others to follow the data. Otherwise you're just someone's tool.

Maybe tell us something closer to the present, because I am NOT sure if my time preference is going to allow me to enjoy such 2036 info with as much vigor as maybe something a bit closer to the present.

I am not sure what you want to know, and how much I can tell you. Those of you that are choosing to HODL BTC today, are going to become a new class of wealthy elite, that will likely be able to afford the first round of habitats being built. The first manned planning expeditions are due to arrive in some time late February of 2037. MC-03, MC-05, and MC-10 are regions that will be evaluated for colonization sites. Construction rigs are due to arrive some time in mid 2039.

Beyond that, it would not be proper to discuss BTC, other than to say it is very much a part of day to day life before I left for the trip back. What do you think was responsible for helping to fund most of the research into time travel ?

It's not going to do many of us much good without life extension (or real rejuvenation would be even better)... that is part of my point... ...

I suppose I was hoping for something more concrete for the next couple of years (because I have already been investing and largely HODLing for 6.5 years), or maybe if you are not able to provide info for the next couple of years, then at least an alternative request would be to let some of us know about 5 years from now (I mean that  would be 11.5 years invested in bitcoin for me, so I feel that I have some street cred to be able to know, no?).  

First of all, you were telling us 2036 and then you resorted to 2037, and yeah, maybe if I were in my 20s, then I would not have any real problem with your timeline.. but those of us who are double (or more than double that age), we don't have a lot of time to be farting around with futures that are so damned far out, unless some kind of life extension or maybe guaranteed rejuvenation (something that actually works in a concrete way, not just bullshit propositions).

[UnDerDoG81]

Not sure if it's old news here but I just read in a German crypto blog that India central bank lifted Bitcoin ban and trading. Why is that not bullish? Somebody moves 40 coins from an old wallet and we drop 1.5k lol. This big news and no movement.

[Biodom]

Since I believe that Everett's interpretation is correct, thereby all time travel stories are largely irrelevant.
It would be a new timeline and nothing would be the same.
I do enjoy reading alternative history books, though, as they tease my imagination.

On this forum and reddit, we already had several time traveler stories, which typically start well, then deviate from our reality.
I consider them mostly pure entertainment, but the term "citadels" (as far as referring to areas of higher prosperity/bitcoiner concentration) came from one of these.

Ray Dalio had a great chart in mid-2019 that showed the expansions of the monetary base during the endings of long-term debt supercycles.

Here's my updated version for May 2020, based on current data:

[marcus_of_augustus]

AIDSflu .... confirmed

SARS-CoV-2 has characteristics of HIV virus ... probably lead to chronic infections (long term), immunocompromised outcomes and difficulty rallying immune system for vaccination strategies.

https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3086177/coronavirus-uses-same-strategy-hiv-dodge-immune-response-chinese

The novel coronavirus uses the same strategy to evade attack from the human immune system as HIV, according to a new study by Chinese scientists.

Both viruses remove marker molecules on the surface of an infected cell that are used by the immune system to identify invaders, the researchers said in a non-peer reviewed paper posted on preprint website bioRxiv.org on Sunday. They warned that this commonality could mean Sars-CoV-2, the clinical name for the virus, could be around for some time, like HIV.

The Bitcoin software from satoshi syncs the current bitcoin chain (well, until it hits a bug with blocks over 500k, but if you fix that it keeps on syncing).

Except for the fact that it doesn't? Niiiice.

Why? Did you try it for yourself?

If not I'm going to have to take the bitcoin dev's word over yours.

[JSRAW]

Hahaha hilarious! Where's Bawb though?  

Erm... behind?
*duck*
 

EDIT: Aaaw! i was too late.
LFC did it first.

hahahaha

Thinking about this further... maybe the first one in the line should be mindrust slapping himself... .. I hate to be seen as the instigator on this situation... especially since  Mindrust did it to himself, then the rest of us followed.  

We must also thank mindrust since he has provided us with fodder for years to come.. I mean, I cannot even imagine not mentioning mindrust here and there a couple of (or even a few) years from now...   something like:  "remember mindrust.. he sold at the bottom, even though several of us were trying (and even begging) to talk him into some kind of mitigation of damages.. yet he was too stubborn."   He would not cut his loose.....

You spent fair amount of time answering all his query or every hypothetical scenario and you wrote couple of fine pieces at that time, so you deserve to be in the front line.

What? Your quote from Greg explicitly says that it doesn't. WTF do you think the waffle words about (well, until...) are about?

O.k. I might have to move on while accepting that life does not always feel fair.

COVID-19, basically is a failed coup by the globalist let by Bill Gates/China  to implement a communism's kind of system in the world with them at top of the hierarchy and state/province level stooges as the local commissioned goons.  Appropriate vaccination as long as useful milk-cow, when old, rebellious or long term sick,  appropriate “vaccination” to deal with the situation. 

Luckily decentralized Bitcoin easy dealt with this nonsense. Another test successfully mastered, go Badger go.

Such innovation!

Really excited to unveil our new name today! Calibra is now Novi. After announcing @Libra_ last summer, it became clear that there was more confusion than we wanted. 1/3

Novi comes from the combination of two Latin words, novus = new, and via = way. Novi will offer a new way to send, receive, and secure Libra currencies. Since Novi is designed for the Libra network, there’s a nod to Libra in our logo. 2/3

We can’t wait to start rolling out the Novi wallet as soon as Libra mainnet goes live. In the meantime, here’s a little video (play with sound — I love that tune!) 3/3

[Last of the V8s]

Teaching the controversy once again. Facebook vs the Fed CBDC is where the battle for new money is sheeple. Don't look over there at bitcoin and Twitter.

Fine for us, we accumulate more coin while posting memes about their fear.

El Dude, I pay for your meal at The Fat Duck & stay in the UK if we see even over $50,000 by the end of the year.
$87,000 will not happen until a good way into 2021 imo. I hope to be wrong though, of course.

Would love a fulsome report of what you two gourmands make of that place. Assuming they get off their fat duck arse and re-open for the new wealthy elite. I did a Bray weekend very long ago, pre-duck. Was delish but forgot the details because wine.
