We put our boy-cat, Shiva, in charge of rallying the charge towards $14k USD/BTC.

He and our other kitties are currently working out a plan.

Bro is currently licking his balls, deep in thought, while the girls chat amongst themselves, working on charts and graphs.

challenge one or all of the "math cats" with this:

something amazing in the writeup...the matter could be there in a location, but not 'counted' as "being there'-new ideation (it is being "reassigned").
And, it is linked to encryption...wow.

OT: btw, ya'll may be laughing at this, but it is entirely possible that your interaction with btc and WO is 'actually' keeping you in the branch of the multiverse (or MWI-Everett's multi world interpretation) that is more favorable to the success of bitcoin. Cheers!

#Bitcoin  is the best performing asset, this year, last 5 years and last 10 years. Even risk-adjusted bitcoin outperforms all other assets, year after year. What's your reason for not having bitcoin in your investment portfolio?

Charts: @ecoinometrics and @woonomic

Definitely better to look at returns on a zoomed out and longer time horizon - because the shorter-term snapshots can sometimes lose the sentiment(s) regarding what is really going on when comparing bitcoin to other assets.

Even though bitcoin adoption is ongoingly continuing to increase (frequently difficult to recognize while we are caught within the data changes), with some of this data, it is still difficult to understand how it continues to be so difficult for a lot of normies (and even institutions) to actually come around to the ideas of what is bitcoin - and a lot of this information has been out there for a decent amount of time - even if such information has ben packaged in various (sometimes confusing and ambiguous) ways in the past, and surely a lot of normies do get distracted by theoretical ideas that bitcoin is "at the top of a bubble" and/or theoretical ideas that they are too late to really be able to profit from making some kind of an investment into bitcoin, which bitcoin pessimistic speculations look silly in retrospect even though such ideas continue to persist as I type this post... and will likely continue to persist into near term future years (2-6-10 years), too.. even while ongoing and face-melting levels of transferrings  of wealth continues to take place (even if there are decently-sized and seemingly extended periods of time of bitcoin dips along the way).

For my current descendants, I think I would limit it to some exact sum rather than giving them the whole inheritance.
In my particular case, it is for the better, I think, otherwise it would just promote laziness/lavish lifestyle and nothing else.

Since bitcoin is so volatile (and likely to continue to be volatile, relative to other assets), it may b good to consider framing some of your passing down of wealth in terms of percentages, too, even if there remains some openness in that, too.

the noon wall report at one thirty


Bitcoin closed out October at $13,816.08 marking it the 2nd highest monthly close ever and one of only nine times above $10k in bitcoins recorded history.

Impressive.

I think we are only getting started. Carry on.

as I noted in an earlier post { https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=178336.msg55491561#msg55491561 }

 the  best streak of above 12,584

was from 2017-12-06 to 2018-01-15  that was 41 days

so 12 down and 29 to go.

   This will be a really nice streak to break.

  If we stay hot we break the streak on Dec. 2, 2020

so 2020-12-02 here we come.

Huh?

dee corn has decided.. and we seem to be largely going UPpity...

In udder words, this price movement that you believe that you might be seeing is totally NOT unusual to get a bit of a rewinding (some might call coiling) on the way up.

We really have not had any kind of meaningful correction, so merely bouncing around within 5% ($13,439, so far) of the $14,100 top is largely white noise in the whole scheme of having had gone up nearly 28% for the month of October (just trying to put a timeframe on such UPpity, even if timeframes can sometimes be a bit arbitrary in themselves).

With a 28% price surge for the month of October, even experiencing a 10% correction (which would be $12,690 - I am not rooting for this) would not really be interfering with our current ongoing UPpity momentum in any kind of meaningful way.  We have not even had a 10% correction since late August/early September.

In other words, wake me up regarding whining about purported DOWNity when we get to a 15% or greater downward correction number.. (which currently 15% correction from the current local top would be $12k-ish) otherwise any of this back and forth and purported UP and DOWN is largely meh...   ..

Let me share a curios and a little unpleasant story. In my country, a large part of the population ID's expires this year. The government has decided to extend this period by another year due to the covid crisis and to avoid crowds. So far so good. But I started receiving letters from all crypto exchanges that my ID has expired. And now I have to write letters to the support, to explain myself to them to give me access to my accounts. I do not currently have access to any exchange and I have to wait days, probably weeks for this issue to be resovled. This sucks.

This illustrates the power of Bitcoin. You only need your keys, which never expire, and you can do anything you please with your coins, as long as you don't mix fiat with it. The moment you link it with the tradidional fiat system, you need IDs, KYC/AML authorizations, paperwork, jumping through hoops to prove who you are and how you got the coins, etc...

Maybe you could send the exchanges an official government link and/or an official government-issued document that announces the expiry date extension due to COVID-19 safety concerns. My guess is that they will accept it, if it is an official document, even if it's in a foreign language.

I have a thread in Meta open since February, with a query of how many hours a day you dedicate to the forum, after 8 months I refloated it and updated it with a poll, here is the link in case you want to visit it and contribute your vote or your opinion

I was denied a credit card because my DL was expired, even though my passport was valid. What does driving have to do with credit??? My bitcoin wallet never expires.

I was denied entry to a bar once because my DL had expired. I was 29 at the time.
