here is a quote:

... Nadia, die eigentlich Supranee Thepdet heißt, hat wieder etwas Gutes, Scharfes gekocht. Chad Elwartowski, ihr Mann, ein US-Amerikaner aus Michigan, Mitte 40, mit Strohhut und Shorts, blickt sie nach dem letzten Bissen dankbar an.

Dann erzählt er, wie sie 2018 nach Thailand kamen und in einer Bar in Bangkok Rudy trafen. "Wir sind nur die Sideshow", sagt Chad, "er ist die Type." "Wenn man mit ihm aus dem Haus geht", meint Supranee, "gibt es immer ein Abenteuer." Der Kontakt war im Internet entstanden, auf einem Forum der "Seasteader", der Seesiedler-Bewegung. Der Deutsche lud das Paar ein, in Phuket Quartier zu machen. Und erkor die beiden bald zu den ersten Bewohnern seines achteckigen Häuschens, das draußen auf dem Meer schweben sollte.

Rudy, vor mehr als 50 Jahren in Karlsruhe geboren, hört von Amts wegen auf den Namen Rüdiger Koch. ...

I am amused that we have made a new ATH of $29,700 and no one seems to have noticed.  Including myself.

ATH for 🐜

I think there are a few people that now have made serious $ or should I say serious Maybe 100+ coins

They may have decided to back off on posting like mad.

I think there are some in the 10-50 coin in holdings that now are Maybe I should shut up as my 290k to 1450k could get me hurt.

So posters with 0.5-10 coins may still be posting a lot. As they really need BTC to move to 100k or more

before they think they have decent money.

Elwar surely has some HUGE balls! He's sort of a public figure and everybody knows where he lives etc... frankly, don't want to sound cynical but I'm surprised he's still alive and well and nobody has tried to extort his coins yet    So seems like many WO-ers overestimate the importance of opsec.  Or maybe not...

The thing is that "decent money" is very subjective. And while somebody's goal is $1m there are peeps who have that amount in fiat and its a not big deal for them. So they're just waiting until their 50 coins will cost say $25m... that would be a life-changing money for them...

OpSec is more a risk management of possible future events. (not only unlawful ones)
It's much harder when you're having a business, especially one associated with bitcoin...

              ↑ What is that a llama for ants?


 I woke up to the new ATH but by the time I had made a cup of espresso, it was back down to $29,350 so I decided to wait for 30k to celebrate.

 see, I've been generating 30k addresses.

Eh. I've been enjoying New Year's (thank fucking God 2020 is over) but at the same time I'm really just in awe of what's going on. I'm sure it will pop at some point but truth be told I don't need any fiat right now so no need to screw with the bitcoin stash.

But yeah, it's a good thing to remember that if it goes to 100k I'll probably feel the same way.

I don't like saying, "I told you so" but I did mention it in my morning greeting.

I realize nobody actually reads it but it's a good way to keep my post count up.

I always love when Peter Schiff gets trolled.

Haha Schiff is a clueless dinosaur stuck in the "old ways"

Even when the truth hits him square in the face he can't see it. Well, I think he does, but he chooses not to

Even his son takes the piss out of him

Apologies, you did indeed.  Your Guinness post was quite captivating though!

Happy New Year, brothers!

Allow me a little rant?

TPTB are increasingly making things difficult for us 'plebs' to act freely and do as we please as we have been able to thus far.  

Today, Bittrex just gave 14 days notice (they normally give 30) of de-listing privacy coins - including Monero, which is a top 20 market cap, and IMHO an honest traditional and respected POW coin.  

You may not hold this coin of course, so you may think it doesn't matter.  But it is the creeping march of an increasingly controlled market wishing to become all seeing and all-knowing, which will enable it to squeeze out what it cannot control; Like, well - you and me.

Just be aware that your right to any kind of privacy means nothing any more, unless of course you are a major institution engaging in their 'normal' institutional practice.

If we have any power it is surely to boycott exchanges that act against our interests.  Exchanges like Bittrex should not be able to act against honest customers' buying preferences without some pushback.  If you care - boycott Bittrex and don't let them do what they want with your Bitcoins, your shitcoins or your privacy.
In a few years, ordinary people like us won't be able to even participate in the market without accreditation at this rate.  
 
Is that what we wanted, is that what Satoshi wanted?  Is this it?  I really hope not.  But while we still have power (when exchanges want our coins) let's think about who we give our coins to, eh?  Without our coins they are finished.

Let's not sleep through a total takeover of the market and a mission creep that is intended to gradually squeeze us out?

Fuck Bittrex.  
/rant.
