Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[xhomerx10]

Canada's central bank has sold off 1,000+ tons of gold reserves over the past fifty years, buying mainly US dollars, while an ounce of gold has gone from $35 to $1900.

You'll be delighted & flattered to hear these clowns think bitcoiners are not financially literate!

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Up a little this morning... currently $10920USD/$14444CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

A step in the right direction. Go Bitcoin go.

Got lucky with Hurricane Delta. It downgraded to category 2 before making landfall and thus caused much less damage than anticipated.

No fatalities nor even any injuries have been reported and all reports are that damage has been minimal... mostly toppled trees and wires in our general area.

It will probably be another couple of days before power and internet are restored and we can find out how we fared. We're keeping our fingers crossed.

What a year!

Well some good news just a 2. Be safe.

When Decoupling??

Covid-19 ... Unrestricted bioweapon designed to maximise bioterror and disruption, limited lethality. Likely intentionally released by Chinese Communist Party who have fabricated evidence in global genomic databases to conceal it's laboratory origin ... and other fraudulent behaviour, destroying samples, data, etc.

also not suggesting that we should not try to treat animals more ethically or that we shouldn't try to preserve nature where it still exists. all this is important but we cannot escape "our" nature - which is to create our own environment globally.

Check this out = David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet

It's on netflix and probably a few other places. He started by saying "we have to fix this, or else." something like that.

I've seen it yesterday, it was breath taking and frightening at the same time a true eye opener. This is a must watch for everyone.

Nature must be protected at all costs for the future of humanity because by protecting it we protect ourselves.

Unfortunately we will continue destroying Earth's biodiversity/deforestation/over fishing-farming/polution and add climate change to the mix is a recipie for complete disaster ore even extinction. Some previous extintion evens took millions of years however the next one may happen in just 100 years. (Paashaas claps his hands)

There are some successes here and there but it might be to late for that, the money system does not allow us to fix it, in fact most problems in this world and our lifestyle is caused by it.

If we fix the fiat system than we'll fix a lot of problems, this is why Bitcoin is so important. Bitcoin is the total package in terms of the redistribution of wealth/power and to restore nature, it is (imo) one of the -if not- the most important invention of oure life-time.

/repeated rant on

I watched as a young child as my parents marched in the 60's for civil rights and to end regime change wars. I watched them march in the 70's over gas shortages engineered by nation states and big oil companies. These entities operating with complete disregard towards environmental consequences and without a ounce of moral decency.

They carried this fight into my adulthood in the 80's and 90's where I picked up their cry and joined in protesting and being 'green' as we know it now, before it was even really a thing. Somewhere in the back of my mind this thought that they would live to see the changes we had all dreamed of.

The dream of not passing on this continued criminal neglect and destruction of our Planet.

My parents are gone now and I am left with carrying on the fight as best as I am able. Teaching my children as I was taught as best I can.

That this Earth we call home is it.

There is literally no other place to go...and why would we? As much as I advocate a colony on Mars and for humanity to expand into the final frontier of space we need to take care of  our own backyard first.

Saying that, it doesnt have to be one or the other..it can and should be both...and more.

We are capable of so much...and we have more than enough resources AND production facilities for everyone. Many times over if we take a responsible long term custodial approach to this amazingly beautiful place we live on.

I have been lucky enough to travel some..and I can tell you I have wept with joy and wonder at the shear awesomeness that is Mother Nature. The grand vistas and profusion of life that abound throughout multiple ecosystems.

Our Mother is hurting now...and it is past time for change.  

In my lifetime I have seen the gradual changes that are now increasing more rapidly. Event piling on event in cascade towards a future where life as we know it might not be possible on the surface of our planet anymore.

I am sick and tired of it. It has to change. I am unwilling to keep passing this off to the next generation.

We have to act now..before its too late.

Why should insapient talking monkeys be permitted to foul up another planet?

Robots, faster!  Please!  This “humanity”, it wants to metastasize.


inb4, etc., etc.:  The difference between right-wing conservationism and left-wing environmentalism is that conservationists are sincerely worried about their grandchildren—I mean, as something deeper than a sound bite.  “Posterity” is a word not in the vocabulary of those who seek “sustainability” by embracing a culture that is inimical to having heirs, whilst using palaver about Mother Earth as yet another vector to agitate for full-blown International Communism.

(Not talking about Toxic here, either way.  Just clarifying as to myself.  For others, if the shoe fits, wear it.)

Yes, Earth is fantastically, unbelievably overloaded past its carrying capacity, and has so been for a long time now.  No, that cannot go on forever.  And the problem is not exactly helped by taxing productive people so that they cannot afford to have children even at replacement level or modest growth, and using their money to buy food and medical care for people who breed uncontrollably—both in their own countries, and around the world.  That is just one example of the type of grim, undesirable, and quite unavoidable reality that you will not hear Greta Thunberg speaking about honestly.

Abolishing the income tax is an environmental cause!  Do it for Mother Earth!  The global population will implode overnight.

“The United States has been enormously successful blocking terrorists, rogue regimes, and their supporters from funding their activity using traditional currencies,” said Task Force member John C. Demers, Assistant Attorney General for the National Security Division.  “As the Cryptocurrency Enforcement Framework explains, we will adapt our strategy and tools to 21st century financing, including to combat the use of cryptocurrencies to evade enforcement and harm our national security.”

terrific lot of wank to wade through  

On the other hand, in addition to the substantial public safety and national security concerns discussed in this Framework, critics of cryptocurrency have raised questions about its supposed benefits. For example, certain critics contend that cryptocurrency could, if widely adopted, reduce the ability of national governments to regulate their economies through monetary policy.

Wait a minute.  Aren’t those the same “mujahidin” fighting against a Syrian government that America hates?  And aren’t “al-Qaeda-Affiliated [Groups]” what Soleimani was fighting to suppress in Iraq?  And...?

The Americans doth protest too much, methinks.

That’s a feature, not a bug.

FREEDOM IS SLAVERY.
IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH.

Just for instance, look up what happened to Ngô Đình Diệm for an exemplary illustration of America’s long and sordid history of creating problems, and then pretending to fight them.  The CIA set Vietnam up for a total Communist takeover with Diệm’s unfortunate demise—and then, of course, the valiant American world-police had to make war on Communism in Vietnam!  A war that was deliberately set up, and deliberately set up to be unwinnable.

Just for instance.

“WAR IS PEACE”, indeed.

Learn a lesson from Diệm—or from Saddam Hussein and from the Kurds in Iraq who rebelled against Saddam in ’91—or any other of numerous examples of people who met their demises through American treachery:

Never trust the Americans.

Look at the charts.  Human population is clearly in a bubble, and arguably at a blow off top.  Nothing but shorting going on from here and the sun will take care of that if we don't self-annihilate fast enough.  Bitcoin has a 4 year cycle, the sun has 12ka cycle, and it's time!
