................... it's just the electric car that does it for me, I like bleeding edge technology even when it has some drawbacks...................

It might be bleeding edge for you but electric cars once dominated the car market. In over 100 years of trying each and every attempt ultimately failed. Battery technology goes back thousands of years, electric motor hundreds of years.

Prior to model 3 AC motors where used, then obviously someone told them it is more efficient to use DC motor with DC power source, so it changed, and yes efficacy improved.
Technicaly from model 3 onwards it no longer a Tesla, but a Edison. Tesla is all about alternating current (motor) Edison is DC.

I'm French, I know a thing or two about electric cars, the "Jamais contente", the first car to reach 100Km/h, did so not far from where I'm living. At the time for city roundabouts electric was fine, but they didn't have significant range, and until the advent of the Lithium battery I don't think that anything could have changed that.

As for Tesla's choice, I don't think it's simply a mistake that they went for AC motors, I'm sure there was a good reason at the time. Unlike Edison they're not staying stuck on previous choices, if something better comes along they go for it.

At about 1900, 40% of cars where electric, 38% where steam powered,  and 22% run on gasoline.  Electric cars died about 1935 with reviving attempts again and again.

The Lohner–Porsche Electromobile was the first hybrid vehicle in 1900

Put some buy order down the path. Only to be sure. Missed the first dip.

What y´all think where the big guys like Michael and Elon store their coins? Ever since I moved my coins from paper wallet to Ledger to claim the forks, I am terrified each time I open ledger live and pray my coins still there. I dont like digital storages. And I can not trust any paper wallet creating method anymore.

EDIT: I am that paranoid that I called my parents to burn the seeds I left in their home (I have backups with me) after Ledger leaked all my personal data and the address I ordered the Ledger to. So if thiefs knock the door, they will find no seeds lol.

Multi-signature. Either 2-of-3 or 3-of-5 or something similar.

It's something that I've been researching to do it yourself. It can be done. The easiest solutions are to use Electrum. There are some methods that involve multiple hardware wallets. The smart ones get extra hardware to run their own full nodes and personal electrum servers.

I've been running a full node since 2012-ish, and been doing cold storage techniques since then but haven't gotten around to the other stuff.

The future just said "Hello there"

This is fucking ridiculous guys.

I had my sell orders up to $35k and I had to fix them in November or so and so at that point, I had already set all my sell orders up to $100k and thinking that I should be set for several months.. maybe until mid-20121.., but now I am starting to feel that I might run out of those sell orders, too... .. what to do?  What to do?  Maybe set them up to $250k.. that might keep me until the end of the year, no?

Even us folks with a plan.. sometimes have to reconsider some possible tweaks to such plans.   

What a bad (first world) problem to have.

 This Elon thing is a total game changer; you need a whole new plan with another plan in place to change that plan as well.

Ditto.

Tesla's $1.5B Bitcoin Investment 'A Sign Of Desperation' From Elon Musk, Says Analyst
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/teslas-1-5b-bitcoin-investment-073527943.html

You hear that, Average Joe? Buying bitcoin is an "act of desperation" and is actually a bad thing, not a good thing.

The MSM message remains clear: stay the fk away from bitcoin! /s

They just want a bit more time to fill their pockets before letting the masses in. Nothing to see here, moving on

40k € will probably be broken today.

And even if it won't, it still looks wonderful.

About Chinese New Year, I haven't got a clue as to what the effect to the market is going to be. I have a lot of Chinese friends, but only one of them is a coiner, and a hardcore HoDLer, so he doesn't follow market trends, etc. (he's very happy though—he listened to me in 2016, and bought 2.7 BTC for a total of $1100!)

Hehe, lucky guy.
Chinese New Year is somewhat expected to come with a pullback. But with the current rocket fuel, this year it may just slow the growth a little bit

if i'm not mistaken they were saying the same thing about 2021 new year and even though many were waiting for a "dump" price betrayed them all and went up a lot instead.
