Our planet has seen no less than 4 or 5 ice ages. It will come again. They say the climate change will make everything melt too. Better be prepared to live at both extremes. I would personally find it nicer to live in a colder country as most homes can be easily insulated and heated.

Yeah, but shoveling the driveway and getting snowed in has a very limited entertainment value.

It can be very nice, I agree, but you get tired of that real quick, take my word for it.

Even with a snow cab??

With enough money, any place can be comfortable. As someone who's lived in the upper midwest for most of his life, I'd prefer a warm climate.

There's a rough correlation between year-round good climate and longevity. The older I get, the more I realize the value of being able to hike or just go for a nice walk/bike ride on any given month of the year.

Yeah, that's kind of my point too, Your home can be very comfy, but you will have to go outside and dig out the thrash can for collection day, and you have to drive slow on snowy slippery roads and getting the ice of your windshield and freezing your ass of filling gas and...


Edit: I really suck at quoting today.

BTW why do the U.S. Republican Party use the color red?  

Because in the 2000 election, left-wing media didn't want the democrats associated with the color of communism. Before that, colors were assigned pretty arbitrarily.

it was a smart move of the Socialists/Communists to choose Red so early.

In order for banks not to lose relevance, they will have to adapt to Bitcoin sooner or later. I believe that in the next few years it will be quite normal to have a fiat and a bitcoin account at your bank.

Would you trust your bank with your bitcoin to earn interest?

bit of a sorta related aside here

the branch manager at the bank i set an account for gemini up with was surprisingly knowledgeable about bitcoin. we discussed coinbase and gemini (she had to make sure i wasnt being scammed into signing up for gemini for sending coin for promises or out of the country and such). i got the impression she was a bitcoiner herself although i didnt ask of course.

now thats different than holding coin as you mention but still it was a nice surprise that she was all on board with setting the account up. telling her it was mainly going to be an offramp from gemini to fiat in her bank probably didnt hurt.

banks are slowly getting the message methinks. or at least some of the employees are anyway.

You likely realize that lower downs (meaning people who actually deal with the public) are likely not even in touch with what higher ups might end up doing after they have gathered the information and with the passage of time their considerations may change and sure it might help or hurt to say what you are actually doing and your intentions.  Sometimes, they would give more latitude with longer accounts and if you have cashflow coming in on a regular basis versus if the account might only be used for cashing in or out of bitcoin.. I don't claim to know except that you have even acknowledged that there could be some evolutions and even raised consciousness, but I would hardly consider those kinds of seeming raised consciousness of some of the banking folks to be set in stone, either.. in terms of evolving towards more and more positiveness and acceptance of Bitcoin (and face it other crypto that may well distract them from clear-thinkenings, too).

Nah, THIS is what they wear:

not a place for political discussion, it is not fb or twitter, but you do you.
Personally, I respect all hodlers, no matter their political leaning (to a degree, of course, as roachie, ibian and trabeck-null were outliers, obviously).
However, let's focus on bitcoin, markets (with a sprinkle of shitcoin bashing), memes, titties and gender identities (for luls)...in this order.

[Arriemoller]

You again.
Well, you know what kind of fornication I would like to see you do.

I wouldn't call Ibian an outlier.

that's just a personal opinion, but I digress.

I started selling a little to raise funds for a down payment. Blew right through my limit sell at 52,888. I've been selling some covered calls expiring Friday since then. All told most of my net worth is still in bitcoin (and magic cards) but wouldn't mind a little dip for Friday call expiration.

[xhomerx10]

....
 Actually, that's Gyrsur's avatar covering them.   I leave you to your notwithstanding.  

You beat me by 10 seconds bro, lol....

....
I did not know that uncovered titties are allowed here...well, covered with btc, I guess.
....

I believe they're covered with Gyrsur

 That's correct.  They've got Gyrsur all over them.

I wish you luck with a little dip, but it sometimes comes when people are asleep (in US, at least).
A sell like this I would have done myself (if i was in this situation), or maybe I would have sold some 'oscillator', who knows.
Could be an 'expensive' house later on, though, but everyone needs residence.

Anybody care to tell me where US based person can trade cough-eth-cough options?
I want to play a potential downside without "shorting" it.

I've always said that it's easier to make a heater than an air conditioner out of sticks and stones.

The color of blood so fairly appropriate.

You can always put another layer on. You can't always take one off.

The weather in the UK is very amenable to comfort this way. Though the rain and being overcast more often than not are definite negatives. The politics are pretty shitty too.


As an aside, anyone know the file size limit for the bitcointalk image proxy? Trying to post something and it's just not coming through. (Edit: 2.5MB. I'll squeeze it some more but I'm losing image quality )

Colors are ... just not black and white.. Anyway, politics aside, as long as where you live or what you do, respects the freedom of financial sovereignty, the freedom of speech, and the freedom to defend your life (translation = bitcoin, 1st amendment, 2nd amendment) then almost everything else will follow.

I've lived in 2 countries that don't have the right to keep and bear arms, but there are workarounds and it's pretty okay for now. The gov needs to work on it some more, or something.
