Oh Yay.  Better than a kick with a frozen boot, I guess.

Don't judge me, but I've sold 1.6% of my stash for the first time after the 2017 crash.

Nothing's wrong with that.

We aren’t due to hit $20k in 2020.  If we do, we are ahead of schedule.  Next year more likely.

Does he not realize that counting ballots actually takes time?

... I've always wondered why in all the democratic world it is only Democrat inner-city US counties that take forever to count their vote?

... they have more people so should be able to count faster ... or? are they stupider? why do they always delay their vote count? do you not find that strange?

The inner cities are completely corrupt Democrat cesspools. On election night, they pause the counting, wait for the results to come in from the rest of the state, figure out how many votes they're down by, manufacture whatever votes they need, then resume counting. It's the oldest [US] political trick in the book.

This approach was famously pioneered by Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley. He essentially controlled every Illinois State election while he was in office in the 50s-70s.

My theory is that Trump pissed off all the Libs and some of the independents so they all got together in this big gang and voted against him at the next election.

And the reason it is faster to count rural areas in Nevada and Arizona is because the rural areas are made of sand and the urban areas actually have people in them.

It appears the mind-steering apparatus moves faster then you thought.

.... now that would really be some 3D chess level thinking ... also a kind of very American way to end the whole saga with lots of bad guys getting rounded up and carted off in paddy wagons ... security ink stamped voting ballots hashed into the blockchain could do what he is talking about

This clip of AG Barr talking about voting fraud back in Sept. and mail-in ballot vulnerabilites sounds to me like he is warning people, "you are playing with fire" (do you feel lucky punk, make my day) .... maybe they really have laid out the largest piece of cheese (election power grab) to catch the biggest swamp rats in the act?!?
people are playing with fire

[Wekkel]

The fun part: if the Trump camp is indeed able to uncover a load of mail voting fraud

Bitcoin price is up 50% from the time we began the purchase of the Crypto Cruise Ship.

The auction for the cabins is now open:
https://oceanbuilders.com/auction-page/

You can have a cabin on the Satoshi for less than 2 BTC.


The official stamps for the ship have been made:

You are a respected person with good reputation, please don't take my comment personally. But this cruise ship story sounds so unbelievable, it makes my scam detector go wild.

anyway, great stuff. good luck!

But i need at least a few dollars of fiat to buy cornflakes. I get the kids to eat them with a fork to recycle the milk which helps me stack more.

We aren’t due to hit $20k in 2020.  If we do, we are ahead of schedule.  Next year more likely.

Personally, I expected a max of $15 000 by the end of this year which would be a 100% increase from the price that was at the time of halving (2016 having - end year was also 100% increase), but now I see that this may be wrong given that this bull run is not caused only by small investors, but by big players who buy tens of thousands of BTC at once, and now we have a situation where the market swallows more than miners mine.

Some say that $15k was the last serious point of resistance and that the road to $20k is open - I just wonder if the pandemic can surprise us again, what are the chances for a new collapse of the oil and stock markets?

This is huge.

Square is selling double the Bitcoin that is made.

...and now Paypal is doing the same.

Paypal is almost 3X Square. We already know Grayscale is consuming a similar magnitude.

This is a Bitcoin supply crisis. 

Base case: expect huge price moves from Bitcoin.

The story is perfectly fine.

First of all, the ship about 30 years old: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satoshi_(ship)

Following delivery, Regal Princess sailed to New York City where she was officially named by the former UK Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher on 8 August 1991.

Second, cruiseship industry is in deep trouble, they are selling ships at scrap metal prices.

The only big question is: can they make a profit with it.

Bitcoin now ranked 9 passing Russian Ruble for the first time. Should be #6 next year and top 5 in 2025. Number 1 in 2029.

On the airport.... Time to let of some steam in a better temperature as in Belgium

Meanwhile BTC, stay on track, love it....

Denmark to cull entire mink herd amid mutation fears for coronavirus vaccine.

Denmark will cull its entire herd of up to 17 million mink after a mutation of the coronavirus found in the animals spread to humans, posing risk to any possible future vaccine, the prime minister said on Wednesday.

Outbreaks at mink farms have persisted in the Nordic country, the world's largest producer of mink skins, despite repeated efforts to cull infected herds since June.

Health authorities found virus strains in humans and in mink which showed decreased sensitivity against antibodies, potentially lowering the efficacy of future vaccines, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said at a press conference.

"The mutated virus in mink may pose a risk to the effectiveness of a future vaccine,"

If we fail containing this mutated virus than all the vaccine's created today will all be fruitless and the whole circus starts all over again. I'm not a doomsday guy i'm a realist, this is what it is, starting to get deeply worried that our lifes might not be normal for time to come.

Global cases rises to over 600,000 with deaths at record level.

Shitholes like the U.S breaking records after records.

Pretty cool you get to say that and fairly correct.
