why don't you "deversify" into ledger?
I don't even do hardware wallets. software...software makes me nervous I started hating both ledger and trezor when they opened to shitcoins. I hoped that at least Slush would have saved trezor from altcoins. I only wanted a Bitcoin hardware wallet! Was I asking too much? So I got rid of my Nano s and trezor one. Real hodlers use paper wallets. Shit like mindrust want happen with it. A. number one in security B. takes to long to sent coins to exchange to panic sell C. to lazy to even get going, hodle on

Haven't been online much recently, did I miss much here? Hi again to fellow hat wearers out there Price went up, then it went down and then it went back up again. It's only been a couple of months, I remember the drop, looks like price has moved up nicely from the $7K area where I thought it would pull-back Hopefully I've come back in time to try and pick out the short-term top of this nice rally But likelihood is I'll be wrong again Surely, as you have suggested, nothing can be taken for granted in bitcoin. Many times it would be logical to presume that if there is a lot of UPward BTC price movement, then a correction would be in order. However, we have crossed a decent amount of these sub $10k prices several times in the past, and sometimes bitcoin has shown itself to just be tired of continuing to pass through a range that it has passed through so many times. In other words, sometimes it just becomes time to move on and to move up... but when that time comes is frequently difficult to identify with any kind of short-term precision.. so frequently, the most profitable folks in bitcoin seems to be those who error on the side of mostly preparing for UP, and maybe taking a slight hedging position in down - even though the down hedging position could remove some of the UP profits, in the even that outrageous exorbitant UP ends up coming at some point... which is far from guaranteed. why don't you "deversify" into ledger?

A. number one in security B. takes to long to sent coins to exchange to panic sell C. to lazy to even get going, hodle on I agree that there can be some advantage to having some of your coins in places that are not easy to access for security and plausible deniability purposes; however, one of the primary tools to arm a HODLer from engaging in panic behavior continues to be having solid planning and preparation for outrageous BTC price moves (whether we are talking down or up). Some HODLers know that it is NOT a good thing to gamble too much of their stash, but they do it anyhow, and maybe they even know that they are inclined to panic, but they still keep the panic option open with the placement of their coins and in their own minds where they mentally keep such panic options open. Even though there are a decent number of supporters (advocates) of paper wallets, I have doubts about whether they are really the remedy for a large number of BTC HODLers, including HODLers with weak minds and otherwise weak and inadequate preparations.

... I believe something historic is going to happen in Washington D.C. this weekend. A huge rally of over a million souls, probably many more will be converging on the bloated swamp of corruption and self-interest, commonly called the federal government, to demand change. The People have finally showed up to hold the government to account after a sustained train of abuses and oppression that can no longer be tolerated and will be removed by force if necessary. The US army has been stood down from DC after it was explained to the President he would be in direct violation of the Constitution and possibly subject to treason and removal if he ordered them to turn their guns on the People. Now a veritable private army of armed federal agents, many unwilling to identify themselves, are being called up from the alphabet soup of agencies who have come to infest Washington numbering perhaps 50,000 strong will have to face The People they have looted for so many years and explain to their faces why they choose to oppress them while livng off their goodwill and treasure. George Washington will be watching if America chooses Freedom for it's future. https://www.thebiglead.com/posts/video-lightning-strikes-washington-monument-01ea1jsekzfh

This is NOT a top and this is NOT a rally (yet). Slow rise to ATH until November-December 2020 is the most pessimistic scenario I can think of.

Seriously I gotta ask, how old you? Look up "Million Man March". Happened 25 years ago. And guess what? Nothing changed after that. Nothing. In fact things got worse. "But this time things are different".

Don't get me wrong, I love the (meaningful) protesting, I love the energy and spirit, really I do. But as always with youth, the energy is always misdirected to a place where it will do little good. Instead of marching on Washington D.C. en mass and going for the national "photo op", have 10K+ people instead march directly to the street of each of their respective Senators' houses. Camp out on their front lawn (figuratively of course), block their street with a list of specific demands, and tell their Senators that if they don't help draft and pass legislation to change those things, they are voted out in the next election. If protesters aren't affecting or inconveniencing the Senators' lives directly in some way, nothing will change. Senators probably don't even have time to watch TV, so with a march on Washington they can just choose ignore it.

Senators probably don't even have time to watch TV, so with a march on Washington they can just choose ignore it. Why would anyone march against non-polarizing characters when they have someone who seeks to attract their attention and wants to create DC as a battle ground. Yeah, many Americans are mad as hell and don't want to take it anymore about a lot of disparate things, so it is not very easy for masses of people to either be directed in their message regarding so many perceived injustices (whether real or not). Non-protesters benefit from the actions and sacrifices of protesters who are attempting to cause the government to be more responsive, responsible and accountable, and so property is damaged and lives are lost, while a lot of the benefits do end up flowing to the non-protesters.. who are not as likely to suffer direct physical damage, arrests or to get put on blacklists. Trump likely believes that all of the chaos and attention works to his advantage, and we have even heard that he relishes in the idea to have DC as a test ground for his desire for federal policing actions.. yes unprecedented calling for the activation of federal forces to quell and suppress the rights of Americans to assemble, protest and speak.., and maybe he will be able to play a lot of the ongoing chaos that he has purposefully been exacerbating to his favor for the next 5 months, yet maybe he will overplay his cards or reveal his true evilness, selfishness, destructiveness and inabilities to really serve anyone except for himself.. So, yes time will only show whether he is able to come out as a success to the extent that his ongoing provocations motivates a variety of rational and irrational out bursts including the physical actions of actual people traveling to DC to give him the attention that he seems to want.. and wants to use tax payer dollars to battle the enemy.. doesn't he call the battle against antifa? Seems like lots of "antifa" planning to travel to DC.. and how will it go? how will it go? No more minneapolis, now going to DC..... right?

Directly from my quarantine secret location (yeah, still in the cave, even if Italy is now out of lockdown, as you can see from my hat), it's time to update my Wall Observer Meta Post! Sorry if I contaminate the WO with a boring meta post, but I need to keep to the old habits to feel "normal" This is a Monthly post, so it will consider the merits sent during the month of March. Consequently I had to wait for the last merit dump, that included the last day of the month. Merit analysis based on @LoyceV merit file: http://loyce.club/Merit/merit.all.txtMerit updated to May, 31th, 2019 23:59:59 UTC Total merits sent on WO: 48103 Monthly Merits sent on WO: 2488 (+48 vs previous month) Merited Users: 719 (+16 vs previous month) We are back to average level in the WO thread, hopefully the 5 digits will hepl gaining ome momentum, as quarantine didn't help getting more action in the thread. We have a new king of the hill on top of the chart: @Last of the V8's is now the most merited user in the WO thread! Bend your knee to LotV8's! El Duderino took his revenge in the equally important chart of most genereous senders, topping the monthly chart and closing the gap with the leader JJG. Usual addition of new faces around, nice!

Negative numbers are possible or because he has been generous this week because he has been greedy past weeks (so only temporary imbalance), or because he has hoarded sMerits on other threads spending them on WO thread, or because he's a merit source.

Seriously I gotta ask, how old you? Look up "Million Man March". Happened 25 years ago. And guess what? Nothing changed after that. Nothing. In fact things got worse. "But this time things are different".You might be right (ok, you are) but the spirit survived. That's the main point. And well, things always get worse, don't they? Rome wasn't conquered within in a day.
Don't get me wrong, I love the (meaningful) protesting, I love the energy and spirit, really I do. But as always with youth, the energy is always misdirected to a place where it will do little good. Instead of marching on Washington D.C. and going for the national "photo op", have 100K+ people instead march directly to the street of each of their respective Senators' houses. Camp out on their front lawn, or block their street with a list of specific demands, and tell their Senator that if they don't draft and pass legislation to change those things, they are voted out in the next election. If protesters aren't affecting the Senators lives directly in some way, nothing will change. Senators probably don't even have time to watch TV, so with a march on Washington they can just choose ignore it. Why would anyone march against non-polarizing characters when they have someone who seeks to attract their attention and wants to create DC as a battle ground. Yeah, many Americans are mad as hell and don't want to take it anymore about a lot of disparate things, so it is not very easy for masses of people to either be directed in their message regarding so many perceived injustices (whether real or not). Non-protesters benefit from the actions and sacrifices of protesters who are attempting to cause the government to be more responsive, responsible and accountable, and so property is damaged and lives are lost, while a lot of the benefits do end up flowing to the non-protesters.. who are not as likely to suffer direct physical damage, arrests or to get put on blacklists. Trump likely believes that all of the chaos and attention works to his advantage, and we have even heard that he relishes in the idea to have DC as a test ground for his desire for federal policing actions.. yes unprecedented calling for the activation of federal forces to quell and suppress the rights of Americans to assemble, protest and speak.., and maybe he will be able to play a lot of the ongoing chaos that he has purposefully been exacerbating to his favor for the next 5 months, yet maybe he will overplay his cards or reveal his true evilness, selfishness, destructiveness and inabilities to really serve anyone except for himself.. So, yes time will only show whether he is able to come out as a success to the extent that his ongoing provocations motivates a variety of rational and irrational out bursts including the physical actions of actual people traveling to DC to give him the attention that he seems to want.. and wants to use tax payer dollars to battle the enemy.. doesn't he call the battle against antifa? Seems like lots of "antifa" planning to travel to DC.. and how will it go? how will it go? No more minneapolis, now going to DC..... right? As mostly always, people aren't really united. Sure, there are these "police violence", "racism" and "i can't breathe" captions, but as Torque put out, realistic and specific demands and real "connecting values" are missing. (humans mainly solicite on a basis of value). The "crowd" is not organized and tries to fight the very organized establishment, which likely will fail. It's a short affair, and maybe the rage against Trump will have faded out already when the elections finally call for the votes. And not to forget: Believe it or not, most of us are becoming temporary racists in the face of events like FIFA world cup or the olympics. Even people that consider themselves as midst or left(ish). I don't have a link to the underlining study, however.

That's the trillion dollar question, and surely people define success and failure differently.

"Rage against Trump"I like this as a cover band for Rage against the machine. Tried to find clear livecams point towards washington d.c, namely the white house, last night but none were close enough to see anything expect for the flashing red lights from the cruisers. I think no sign of the call from trump to bring in the mercenaries for hire into the fray. Or the crowd of protesters called the anti-heroes bluff.

That's the trillion dollar question, and surely people define success and failure differently. In this case, as there is a lack of common, defined goals, success isn't even definable.

24-hour average. Situation a bit scary. Better be mentally prepared for anything.

Piercing a trendline to the downside.. :/
But that is on stamp. I can't remember do we see stamp or finex as source of truth? We got room to go to 9650 on finex...
