In contrast to the last two times $BTC hit $10,000 USD, we haven't seen an increase in #Bitcoin Days Destroyed today.

Y'all convinced me to dig up my oldest post in this threat. Back when corn was $90 ea. Page 255 on this thread, anyone beat that?

The forum was much different in the early days. People actually all working toward wanting to make Bitcoin successful. Everyone pitching in with ideas and supporting people that were starting businesses and advances for the technology. The major debate was about the depreciation aspect of the currency (from outsiders that did not support Bitcoin).
The final answer being..."so you're saying that if I own bitcoin the price will continue to go up. If you truly believe that, why are you not buying bitcoin right now?"

Another controversy was SatoshiDice and the flood of transactions on the blockchain for a single gambling website.

Love seeing the old folks still excited to hit 10k again. This run should be magnificent. I know we say it a lot, but July 26th/27th may be the last time to buy 4-digit coins.

Go to the local exotic dancer place...explain you've been into BTC/Crypto for 7 years and how the worth of BTC/Crypto had skyrocketed...for some reason after such

an explanation you are more attractive and have now made "many' new and attractive and 'interesting' friends! Not sure how prudent this is, but hey, this will likely make

you feel a lot better about your 7 years on www.bitcointalk.org as a result!

I'm celebrating 3 years of membership on these boards today - happy birthday to me yeey.

As promised, I started reading at the beginning (of the new WO, don't get me started from the old one please), and needed a break after 22 pages of reading already. So how much time would the complete WO take me? Damn...

(...)

There will be no challenge: I just realized 78 pages were added to this thread in only 25 days, so no, I'm not starting from scratch.

Basically, reading through these WO pages feels a bit like being a participant in the game show Card Sharks: some guy posts a chart, and then the others start screaming "higher" or "lower".

Great fun tho.


^
I wish I'd been there from the very beginning of the forum. It's quite astonishing how visiting these boards as a non-member eventually evolved into daily visits, actively participating, spam-reporting etc... I'm not gonna cry but this forum has actually become part of my life. That sounds creepy dammit.

But just ahead of this summer, with markets in turmoil amid the spread of the coronavirus, bitcoin received an unexpected anointing from one of the world’s top hedge fund managers. On May 7 billionaire Paul Tudor Jones of New York–based Tudor Investment Corp. issued a market outlook letter that swiftly went viral across Wall Street.

a good read nonetheless

9 years ago I see I was asking why crypto workunits werent with wider use maybe resembling SETI.    I promised to go run it on a video card and I think I tried and failed after 20 minutes of effort, anything I mined I never kept opps.

Paul Tudor Jones

Theres a great documentary done on him years back, he tried to collect any copies from VHS but its out there.  33 years ago, this might be it  Just shows he got to be a billionaire from trading, he has been trading forex for decades so its a big deal.   
https://youtu.be/k9VpVf3g9Y0?t=170

I'd also say as a trader he'll buy it up in June and sell it July, not sure he is saying its his favourite market any longer then a trade takes him to gain from it.

they will be worthless in a few days.

2010 is quite the feat! I love going back and reading some of my old posts. Hopefully we've got another good 10 years ahead of us.

We have broken the current most aggressive version of this line since the ATH on every time frame so far:



Now we just want to close on all of them above that line!  Maybe a little harder to do?

I mean seriously... we don't even have to break 10k anymore for this 2.6 year line to get pierced.  What do you think is gonna happen?

This is the perfect storm.  Gold about to breech 2k.  

Bitcoin being talked about by herd leaders as "digital gold".

Right after the halving.

Exchanges stock running low.

Hashrate ATH in.

More dollars being printed than toilet paper.

What do you think is gonna happen?

most of all the pieces are in place..just waiting on that gut wrenching volume to manifest

Now that's some news here:

The EU recently encouraged its officials/staff to use end-to-end encrypted messaging software for communication while on the other hand the EU and Europol tries to force services offering said encryption to implement backdoors for challenging "child abuse".

Those fucking fucks!
At the same time blaming the US, China and Russia for spying on their citizens.
AFAIK the EU is (was?) a FREEdom project.
I'm more than angry right now, what an unusual feeling

On my BiL, i have to say that i would have re-bought the amount of bitcoin i would have given him instantly, so i'd have lost only a few Sats for good.
But when the right time has come, i'll happily lend a fraction of my corn to some relatives

Whenever you spend and replace your BTC, you have the various fees and potential tax implications.  You also have to possibly have to suck up or make up the extra 10% that you were planning to give him.

I am not arguing that it might not be worth it, to incur various burdens or costs in order to spread the good bitcoin word or to give breaks to newbies entering into the BTC space, but sometimes, it may not be worth the whole burden and costs when the potential BTC newbie is not receptive to the idea, and likely going to fuck something up...

Sure, it does not hurt to make these kinds of efforts with various people and even to repeat the efforts from time to time, even while recognizing that we, longer term HODLers, are likely bearing some burden to undeserving folks, and only marginal likelihood of actually inspiring a BTC newbie to enter into the space without fucking too much stuff up.

I mention BTC to random peeps from time to time, and I am also willing to help or to teach, up to a certain point.  They need to be interested, too... and sure, I understand that some newbies do come into BTC from time to time based on these kinds of familial introductions.

10k by Christmas.

10k this weekend

10K!
Congrats dude! You've got it right! Again  

Who’s the guru

I’m the guru

Please never listen to my advice only the HODL words

Oh gawd....    Call me a party poop....

I know that you are just joking.. but still.. oh gawd.. oh gawd ... oh gawd...  

I am NOT complaining about UP, but the vast majority of us should realize that if someone here keeps proclaiming up, sooner or later s/he is going to be shown to be correct (is that a guru?)... same is true with the opposite...

Feel part of an elite club.

 

Not saying that newbies cannot become elite club members, with the passage of time.

The best time to become an elite club member was a bit more than 7 years ago...

The second best time to become an elite club member was any time between a bit more than 7 years ago and today.

The third best time to take steps to become an elite club member is today.

We are going to $90?

But what happens when the upper blue line collides with the lower blue line? 

We all win.

Y'all convinced me to dig up my oldest post in this threat. Back when corn was $90 ea. Page 255 on this thread, anyone beat that?

Personally, I cannot beat that.

My first post in the thread was easy to find (on page 4560 of this thread) - just go to my first post, ever on Feb 17, 2014).  I hardly posted outside of this thread for my first couple of years as a forum member.  I deviated more later down the road.

@windjc

i read through all the technical fundamentals as you proposed and i came to the conclusion that this chart might be the future of Bitcoin.
It´s actually from the hidden page of Satoshis white paper written with magic ink, many have not seen it before.
You should take a look at it:



LOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOOL

Most importantly, Where are we currently at on that chart?   the beginning, middle or end?  Maybe we are still in the early stages of the awareness stage?  Lots of people do NOT know what the fuck is bitcoin.
