Let's get up over $30k, keep going, and settle this thing once and for all.

EVERYBODY needs to submit comments on the Fincen regulation that's being forced through.   The comment period was only 15 days, over Christmas and New Year's.  It's a transparent ploy.
When this regulation goes into effect you won't be able to withdraw crypto from exchanges the way you used to.  It's going to be KYC up the @$$.  You will have to lube up and bend over.  For any and all crypto withdrawals of any kind, you have to provide name and address of the receiver.
The comment period ends January 4.

The rule will
require banks and money service businesses (“MSBs”) to submit reports, keep records, and verify the identity of customers in relation to transactions involving convertible virtual currency (“CVC”) or digital assets with legal tender status (“legal tender digital assets” or “LTDA”) held in unhosted wallets (as defined below)

Is this any reason to concern? https://www.financemagnates.com/cryptocurrency/news/us-treasury-wants-complete-cryptocurrency-control/amp/

Absolutely it is.

Example comment:
"The proposed new rules impose unprecedented financial surveillance on many people like me who are participating in the crypto economy for legitimate purposes. The new requirements also mean that more personal financial information belonging to me and those I transact with will now be collected and retained by the government."

Where I'm going to be then, I won't be able to post, so I sent 'em early... With brotherly love and kisses.

Someone's dream became true, not only true but it's now 3x true 🥳

What will change my life is when 1 BTC > $10000. Then I will be gaining hundreds of thousands of $ (€ in my case). At that point (if we ever get there -- and I hope and believe we will), I will sell some (but not all) of my 15 BTC, enjoy my earnings, and still be in the Bitcoin rocket on its way to the moon. I do believe and speculate that this will happen and I expect this to take no longer than 10 years.

Looking at the Boston Dynamics recent video, I can't help thinking how shotgun resistant these things are or will be.
I'd love to find out, and probably will, but for now drones will have to do.

green lasers
electromagnetic fields
the good old pitfall

...

plenty of options.

There are also slugs. I mean, typical 12 gauge barrel is 0.727 inch diameter. That's gotta put a dent in any of those machines unless they are armor plated.

My thoughts exactly, a shotgun slug that can take down a wild bore will most likely take down a robot as well.

So what are you doing for New Years Eve?

Happy New Year everyone!

I thought I saw what looked like a similar robot being used by US Airforce on their base. One purpose was a roving patrol. So it's like, literally, a watchdog. It goes around for a few hours, then goes home to it's doghouse to recharge. A few robot dogs do this rotation all day and the base has all day and all night robot dogs doing sentry duty.

If anything topples them over, that raises an alarm and the other soldiers come in to investigate.

this $1000 dip only lasted 3 hrs. it took btc 4 years to reach $1000 first time and another 3 years to reach it again.

the bull is strong.

What year was The Terminator?

Those who were inclined to sell instead of hold will likely have sold to Fortress Investments or one of the other large companies who've been buying up claims at a massive discount over the last couple of years.

Andy Pag who was the organiser of Mt.Gox Legal sold has claim to one of those vulture companies. He had a claim for around 105 BTC, for which he received a mere $63,000.

Had he held, his claim today would be worth at least 15.75 BTC+BCH (~$454,000) plus a cash component worth around $46,000.

Side note, it's stated in one of the docs that the trustee will dump all other forks for cash. Wouldn't want to be jbreher right now!

Two weeks late, but I don't think this has been posted yet (sorry in advance if it has)

It was. Easy to miss in this monolithic thread however.

Out of all the BTC I have ever “bought” with $, 30% of it (in $) has been this year @ $16k..
I bought $50 worth on cashapp just for fun.. Heh..
I also bought $100 worth in 2017 to help someone out..

This year I also bought a couple miners to flip with $ and paid shipping in $ but sold them for BTC, so that’s kinda like buying a little BTC too I suppose in a round about way.. Made $60 profit..
I’ve done that a couple times but insignificant amounts..


Thinking about buying BTC now blows my mind..
I know it’s probably a good investment but with the prices now I have probably burnt thousands of $ worth of BTC when 100k sats meant nothing..
I’ve probably spent $20k at today’s prices just in exchange and TX fees..

That fact that the perception of the price "being too high to be worth buying" which is hard to resist even for us here, means that it will only still be very smart money buying at these levels.

Hard to believe but it is STILL early.

[eddie13]

Oh I’m not saying that it isn’t worth buying..
It just looks like $100 is just dust, lol..

Actually I’m kicking around the idea of buying Bitcoin with all of my income like immediately when I get it and then just selling whatever BTC I need to cover my usual spending..

Put all of my checks into BTC, use a CC all month, and then just sell whatever I need to may my CC balance at the end of the month..

[BobLawblaw]

See the price dropping. Moved some FedBux into Gemini and placed a dip order for $250 @ $28,000.
Let's see what happens.

Huh. Order got filled. Feeling sassy and placing another degenerate dip order for $250 @ $28,250 and see if I get filled again.

I like getting filled with dip.

a wild bore

[cmacwuz]

Interesting year behind us, cannot wait for BTC to take its throne during the third decade of the third millenium AD. Maybe one day call 2009 year 0 AB

Either way happy nye everyone. Even if this ship goes down (it won't, it bounces to damn high off of the sea floor), it was a blast !

Happy New Year to everyone!
