Price went up, then it went down and then it went back up again.

JJG, your T/A is without  equal.

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  

Nope. 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.  

I can think of more pessimistic scenarios.

But, I am not going to share them... 

Price went up, then it went down and then it went back up again.

JJG, your T/A is without  equal.

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. 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.

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.

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.txt
Merit 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!
WO is still the place to be!

MONTHLY sMERITS BALANCE

Code:

SMerits Balance=Received Merits/2-Sent Merits

Positive Balance means an user has been increasing sMerits on the WO thread, while negative numbers means the users has sent more merits on WO than received.
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.

[JayJuanGee]

  The "crowd" is not organized and tries to fight the very organized establishment, which likely will fail.

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

[rdbase]

"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.

[OutOfMemory]

  The "crowd" is not organized and tries to fight the very organized establishment, which likely will fail.

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.

"Rage against Trump"

Better be mentally prepared for anything.

All they would need is one song, and rearrange grunting ad nauseam.

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...
