Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[rdbase]

Today is a big day for me. Thanks to BTC, and partially to you all here, I am debt-free today. I quit my job, and I paid off ten years of debt, now I own my house and a few acres in the clear. My wife and I live fairly simply. Old paid-for cars (that I can fix), no cable TeeVee. A large garden and a small shooting range in the back yard. I quit smoking cigarettes, and DCA that amount into BTC. Doing this payoff burned a big chunk of the corn, but  it is a better thing to do for myself, now. We won't be wealthy, but this is the American dream for me. YMMV.

This is a very touching post and a great example of what a significant role Bitcoin can play in our life ... For a second I imagined myself in your place, I imagined that I quit smoking and met a girl who adheres to the wedding vow “In wealth and poverty, in illness and health". You are lucky, appreciate it ...
BTW, congratulations on your achievement Sr. Member rank, ²⁴⁹⁺¹ (in fact, I get a little euphoric when I send merit to those who, on the cusp of a new rank, publish something heartbreaking).

Thanks for bring this to my attention or I would have missed it.
Have just a merit but will send it since this is a great post showing about determination and having gone thru the exact same thing around 6 years ago,
I can related and know of the sacrifices one must of endured to get through those tough time.

$45k.. We reached the bottom guys... Time to fill up bags!!!

Hope that's true but we still have chance to see 38k for the dip.

yeah, sure. some people are m..dr..t still waiting for 2k

The Future contracts will expire tonight, it can make BTC price very volatile. Upside ; 48K   Downside : 42K

Aight, that explains a lot.
Do you please have a resource link for watching all contract opening and closing dates handy?

Get back up to 50K you pony faced dog soldier; whores, cars and travel don't come cheap!

Are you the guy who’ll bring the hookers to the $100,000 party?

You have a good eye for women.

WO is not really the place to be discussing this, but for those abstaining from eating meat (vegetarians, vegans, etc.) for ethical reasons (i.e., being against cruelty to animals), please understand that our very existence and way of life in this world is based on violence and causes violence by natural necessity. To really stop causing violence, one must commit suicide. It is of no coincidence that in certain languages, the word "life" is exactly the same as the word "violence". It's a cause and effect thing. We cannot escape it. This is part of the tragedy of our existence.

Having said the above, I fully understand OOM's stance on this. I once watched a YouTube video (now banned) of slaughtering a cow in a slaughterhouse in former East-Germany, and I literally threw up. I would probably feel and do the same as OOM, if I was forced to slaughter an animal with my own hands before eating it. This is just our brains trying to deal with an act that seems so incompatible with our ethical values. Is this what we do to animals? Yes, it is! And many more, unspeakable acts of violence, that we do to animals and fellow humans, to sustain our existence and way of life. Violence that society/civilization carefully shields us from. It's kind of like unplugging yourself from The Matrix and seeing reality in its truly raw form.

Off topic:

The meat convo I can understand from two sides. It can look exceptionally cruel as most of slaughtering is indeed hidden from view now and we can empathise easily with suffering to the extent the meat industry looks like some type of modern day holocaust. (To Kathleen Kennedy, no I don't have a part in a Star Wars tv show, so you can't cancel me out of my job for that comparison)

One cannot however forget that we exist here because a bunch of big lizards happened to go existent due to a by chance series of events and for most of human's evolution we ate meat to become who and where we are today. Furthermore even without the meat industry we would have to probably still cull animals to a certain extent to ensure their population balance I would have thought. Also how animals eat each other, although more necessary than what humans need now I assume, looks even more vicious. I'd rather take a bullet to my brain than something starts chewing on me and throwing me about whilst I'm still alive.

Oh and also I like a Big Mac from time to time like I stated above. Sorry.

Will we go fully synthetic meat in the future? I don't know but trying to force the matter right now down people's throats is never going to happen without resistance. The world is far bigger than the few people in the west offended by practices that have been in place for thousands of years.

The Canadian #Bitcoin ETF now holds more than 10,000 BTC.
https://twitter.com/glassnode/status/1365225362859429893

So this is the very first approved ETF of BTC since the SEC has no control outside of the USA?
Well isn't that special.

Is the term AUM that I see along with this news the trading of the this new offering on the TSX?
This should shake up the markets once we get over this dry spell we're are currently in.

Seriously though,  I think we can safely assume that this is not going to happen that somebody intentionally sends you 5m USD without you knowing why or having no idea about the reason for the transfer.

If that ever happened (assuming a very bad error on the senders side), after digging a bit through BEs (as dabs proposed) and listening around here and on twitter, I would probably come to bct and post it here, trusting the guy having fat-fingered 100BTC to me would get to know somehow. If he can sign from the sending address I'd ask an appropriate finder reward (which I'd see at 5-10% according to local law and use here).

You could always just send it back to the sending address. No proofs needed.

You're right, the signing is not really needed at all.

As someone once said, veganism is a mental disorder. I did not say it, just quoting someone else. (shots fired!)

Plenty of my own family members are either vegans or vegetarians, or were, or tried it. I let them be.

Those who got hypnotized out of it are exempted, it's not your fault.


I think the more appropriate joke is: I'm a budgetarian ... If it's within the budget, I'll eat it.

This damn wandering 100k laser eye of mine is gonna get me in trouble with the wife.

To me veganism is more spiritual and phycological, nothing to do with health.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Slowly bouncing back after this morning's dip... currently $48052USD/$60834CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

Coiling. Go Bitcoin go.

As someone once said, veganism is a mental disorder. I did not say it, just quoting someone else. (shots fired!)

I think of it more as a neurosis-based eating disorder, kinda like anorexia nervosa... "oh no, I weight over 95 pounds, I'd better starve myself"... "oh poor little Bambi, I'd better subject myself to vitamin B12 deficiency."

Notice how they never seem to worry about the poor little soybeans and other seeds that are murdered before they even have a chance to germinate?

If plants have no feelings, why do they respond and grow better with soothing jazz and classical music than with jarring rock, hiphop or EDM?

Hypocrites.

I just bought the dip. Seriously though, the bitcoin roller coaster guy deserves a break, and so do I.



Cheers guys.

Darn it! I am jealous.

Tony Stark would not approve of this sort of attitude against his unfinished iron man bots which were shown at the beginning of Age of Ultron.
No wonder in all futurism movies the robots attack their creators.
