991 is the Porsche I planned to buy with my BTC someday soon. A used one. Now I've decided not to spend BTC even for dreams like this, at least not until it's much higher, so I'm looking at a cheaper car, and I'm liking more and more one I used to dismiss, the 2nd generation Porsche Boxter S (987) : 280hp, manual gearbox, can be found for about 20000€. No fear of daily driving it. Paid for with fiat and not BTC, so no qualms about not putting a BTC sticker on the back (original plan, but I figure it's asking for trouble).

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I used some btc to buy a 2020 Kia Optima new . Color = black pearl my first car 🚙 with black paint job since 1980. I got a good deal. In late may this year. My third car 🚙 partially paid via btc.

So it's not just me having trouble with youtube ? Keep refreshing and some vids end up working.
philipma1957 : you're older than me so our perspectives aren't the same, obviously. I almost pulled the trigger for a Kia Niro EV (it would have been on top of the Porsche) because Kia had a very compelling offer for a lease, you paid 3000€ upfront then 47€/month for 4 years. In the end I couldn't justify it as I already got a free commute car (through my job) so that would have been too many cars !

I picked up a basket case 928 S4 a few years ago and fixed everything myself with a pair of bitcoin @2000. Granted it's now 30k but to be honest I enjoy the living fuck out of it so much I consider that bitcoin well spent.. Boxter is a fine car, do enjoy and welcome to the Porsche bitcoin club. They have more space than Lambos anyway. :-)

On a separate note: do you rember the conspirancy theory about Pfizer coming out with a vaccine news just three days after the election?
They are a complete nonsense. Proof: Pfizer's CEO cashed out 60% of his stock on the same day the company unveiled the results of its COVID-19 vaccine trial- Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla sold 62% of his stock in the company on the same day the drugmaker announced the results of its COVID-19 vaccine trial.
- Bourla sold $5.6 million in stock on Monday as part of a predetermined trading plan adopted August 19.
- His stock sale was carried out at $41.94 a share. The 52-week-high for Pfizer stock is $41.99, which means the CEO cashed out his shares at close to their highest price this year.
What? The news of the vaccine DID come out three days after the election, on Monday 11/9. And for a company to delay that news and time it on the exact day of the CEO's pre-determined stock share sales from an August 19th filing is insider trading, and should be a punishable crime. It's not insider trading if it's filed according to the rules. Keeping it a secret and then sell on the insider news would have been insider trading.

This erratic false-bull activity is going to hurt a lot of people who fail to exit now or enter into highly leveraged short positions. Use your science brains, people. Don't be fooled by fake news data.
But... but.... I was told by some llama BTC is never going to exceed $10k ever again in it's history (math and science you know) and sold my entire stash at $9999... what am I gonna do now? What should I do the great llama please advise? It's an alpaca.

YEAH AT 63 burning up the highway is not my thing anymore. Have to say the the Kia Optima at 90MPH or 145KPH rides okay on the highway. When I drive to the mining farm early Sunday mornings I can get to 90 pretty easy and fairly smooth.. The fastest car that I drove often was a 1979 trans am. I was stationed in Long Beach Ca and would drive to Los Vegas NV It would do 110MPH or 177KPH fairly smoothly. In both cases the roads were empty smooth and dry.

Bump. One of the reasons why I have credibility with controversial issues is that I am very particular about facts. Detail-oriented. Of course, a black female 007 is almost as bad; but is a bit of a difference between that and a black female James/Jamie/ (whatever) Bond. On the subject of Sean Connery/007, have you heard that the next James Bond will be a black woman, Lashana Lynch? She sees it as "challenging stereotypes" and "is greatful to challenge these narratives". We are moving away from a poisoning masculinity, she says to Harper's Bazaar.
Don't they realize that James Bond is so popular because he is a stereotype? Remove the stereotype and there is no James Bond. This is going to end up a disaster, go woke, go broke.
Got a link? Three seconds of searching did not find the exact quotes, including the misspelling “greatful” which Harper’s Bazaar would be unlikely to use. It did, however, find this 16-month old news about a film that has probably (?) been released (I do not care—did not follow links—and am not in the mood to do real sleuthing OSINT spycraft on this): Lashana Lynch Probably Isn't the New James Bond, but She Is the New 007The iconic role of Bond apparently won't be played by a woman of color after all.By Amy Mackelden Jul 21 2019, 11:38 am EDT [...] It was recently announced that British actress Lashana Lynch is set to become the new 007, with many assuming she'll be taking over for Daniel Craig in the titular role. However, that's not exactly the case. [...] While this presumably could lead to Lynch taking over as the legendary spy, it seems unlikely, especially since executive producer Barbara Broccoli has quashed the idea. Speaking to The Guardian in October 2018, Broccoli said, "Bond is male." She continued, "He's a male character. He was written as a male and I think he'll probably stay as a male."[...]

What follows intersects a point about OOM’s alleged “atheism”, which I had intended to cover in re discussion of the agenda to devalue the elderly; too bad these wordy-man posts take time...inb4 Timothy Leary pops up with an obsessive rehash of MKULTRA agitprop about how I cannot judge drug use, unless I souse my own brain in drugs that destroy powers of sound judgment. /logic With the overt glorification of self-induced extreme mental illness hereby highlighted—and oh, MKULTRA was an astounding success, you drugged-out egoless meat-robot who will never threaten the powerful:I only went through ego death one time on LSD, which gave me some work to do about my personality and life as well, but in the end it turned out to be the very best that could happen to me. So, people condemning drugs, because of "reasons", just don't know what they are missing. It's all in the usage, like with guns. Nobody has to use em, but if only used for (ethical) goodness, nobody would be afraid of them either.
How would we know if our ego is too strong and/or needs to be put in check? OutOfMemory has retained an essentially Christian Weltanschauung: He rejects fairytales about the big man in the sky, but he nonetheless parrots godly condemnations of the deadly sins of Pride, Vanity, and even Wrath. —On all such counts, I am a happy sinner! ‘Wrath, o goddess sing...’ This is not uncommon. Indeed, most so-called “atheists” retain by cultural residue an irrational worldview and morality, which is all the more irrational for the rejection of its only plausible basis: The commandments of a god who contradicts and overrules the observed laws of nature. - “Secular humanism” is an attempt to reconstruct liberal Christian morality as an ostensibly non-Christian ethical system.
- Sorry, theymos.
The so-called “Singularity” is a religious eschatology for irrational fanatics who have swapped faith in gods for faith in technocracy. They want a god from a machine, a literal deus ex machina to save them from their own follies. - Communism is second-century primitive Christianity without Jesus.
The true “Second Coming” was Karl Marx, who reformed the original second-century dogmata of the faith on a new foundation. In the Age of Science, fairytales became unsustainable, and rather embarrassing. The essence of Communism is a synthesis of Sermon on the Mount 2.0, Post French Revolutionary Edition, with the economic worldview of Capitalism—wherefore the Communist Bible is titled, Capital. The Communist worldview is fundamentally, unavoidably compatible with the Christian worldview.
—Surely, alas, Solzhenitsyn would object to this: I argue that from first principles, it is Tolstoi’s Christian worldview that provides a fertile soil for Communism. - Drug users are the most susceptible to religious ideations, for the obvious reason! Indeed, there is a credible theory that Christianity was proximately caused by the use of Amanita muscaria. (I don’t want to get too far into that; I consider the evidence to be tantalizing, but not quite sufficient to pronounce that an historical fact.)
No doubt more than a few people would call me “ignorant” of Jesus.
The inversion of reality to proclaim inferiority and irrationality as superior knowledge is—typical of a certain type. And there is a pretty good historical hypothesis that much religiosity has been caused by “naturally occurring” drugs—much more Amanita muscaria than psilocybin. Hmmm.
I won’t deign seriously to argue with your druggie religion any more than I debate Christian evangelicals. - I should add that the so-called “Golden Rule” is an irrationality embraced by many religions. Of course, the “Golden Rule” is exactly backwards: It is irrational to “treat others how you want to be treated”. Retributive “tit-for-tat” treatment of others is rational.
I try to improve on tit-for-tat: If someone does good to me, then I strive to return better—if I can, which is not always within my ability. If someone does bad to me, then I pass judgment without even the slightest hint of Christian mercy. - Etc...
My ethical system does not derive from Christianity.I will quote “chapter and verse” from the greatest ethicist of the past two thousand years. 2.
What is good?— Whatever augments the feeling of power, the will to power, power itself, in man.
What is evil?— Whatever springs from weakness.
What is happiness?— The feeling that power increases— that resistance is overcome.
Not contentment, but more power; not peace at any price, but war; not virtue, but efficiency (virtue in the Renaissance sense, virtù, virtue free of moral acid).
The weak and the botched shall perish: first principle of our charity. And one should help them to it.
What is more harmful than any vice?— Practical sympathy for the botched and the weak— Christianity... By the way, I don’t think that Lauda wholly agreed with me; but she at least partly did: Merited by Lauda (10)I reduce a principle to a formula. Every naturalism in morality—that is, every healthy morality—is dominated by an instinct of life, some commandment of life is fulfilled by a determinate canon of “shalt” and “shalt not”; some inhibition and hostile element on the path of life is thus removed. Anti-natural morality—that is, almost every morality which has so far been taught, revered, and preached—turns, conversely, against the instincts of life: it is condemnation of these instincts, now secret, now outspoken and impudent. When it says, “God looks at the heart,” it says No to both the lowest and the highest desires of life, and posits God as the enemy of life. The saint in whom God delights is the ideal eunuch. Life has come to an end where the “kingdom of God” begins.
The above-quoted passage succinctly explain’s OutOfMemory’s fear of the “ego”. Whereas only brain damage from long-term hallucinatory drug abuse could explain this perfect inversion of reality:Boldface is OutOfMemory’s:Drugs tell no truths. They do not “expand” consciousness, but dissolve it. They can turn you into a superstitious nitwit, with voluntarily self-inflicted mental retardation plus schizophrenia. That is all. [...] Now, the ego, the mental entity that keeps talking trash and showing you pictures of future and the past, keeps you from learning and developing your spirit (aka. higher self, or whatever one may call it), which is often reffered to as (uncontrolled) "inner dialog", clearly is a sign of (common) psychosis. The root of many mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, violent thoughts/behaviour, many other bad manifestations. Now tell me, isn't that a clear sign of psychosis? You and your likes want to tell me who is the retarded, schizophrenic type here? LOL Eh...Dunning-Kruger rather well explains the conceits of druggies about drugs—not so much why they rationalize (which is obvious), but why they cannot see through their own transparent foolishness. Well, um, they do drugs. Which wreck the brain. Duh. It may also explain just how the Hell he failed to notice that I am far less a Christian than he is (LOL), and also failed to notice that I do indeed support druggies’ right to ruin themselves. With restoration in the internal quote of important context that OutOfMemory snipped:Don’t get me wrong. Self-harm and suicide are absolute rights, abrogated only by the worst of slave states. The solution to drug abuse is to give users more drugs; it is cleansing, and even eugenic. ...self-limiting problem...
Have a nice trip! ☠ [...] Congratulations. But stop talking about "freedom" then.It was far from the first time that I have supported freedom!Druggies, don’t whine. I am supporting your freedom to kill yourselves! Anyway, my point hereby is not to belabour the obvious about drugs, but rather, to illustrate by example the usual course of one who leaps from one irrational faith to another. Most arguments between Christians and “atheists” are only sectarian debates between votaries of the same essential spirit. Real atheists are rare—for the universe is a terrifying place; it requires exceptional courage to follow naturalistic rationalism all the way to its logical conclusions.
Dear Talking Monkeys:
Please get it through your thick primate skulls that you are alone in the universe, you are all going to die, there is no life beyond this world, and nothing whatsoever will remain of you if you do not safeguard your posterity.

Nah you got me wrong. They look like they are big and this will be pushed through some media sites aswell but the crypto community expose the real big event which is in that case to hit 16k. The meme should look as if all other events are trivial towards the 16k Sorry for the confusion
