Let BTC buy some extra vocal skills and you can go for the billboard spots

Hey I know I can't sing dude, no need to rub it in. You hurt my widdle fee-fees and damaged my fragile ego.....

Nice shiny new Gretsch 5 piece added to studio. Thank you bitcoin.

Is the strat with maple fretboard suhr?

LOL....
All cheap Chinese knockoffs on the wall. That "strat" is a $78 Glarry.  The blue "Les Paul " is an  Xaviere. The red hollow body a $125 Firefly.
They actually all look and play great. Amazing how much better cheap ass guitars have gotten today.
With my playing ability, not that I couldnt afford one, but I'd feel stupid fun-strumming "House Of The Rising Sun"  on a $10,000 vintage Statocaster.....

nice setup sirazimuth. is that a fender precision bass on the right?

It is indeed! My 1978 vintage black beauty. She doesn't get played much any more, sadly. Used when I played bass in bands back in late eighties.

.....

might be fun to throw around labels on the intertubes or even sing about them, but you don't know me from shit

people who dish it out have to got to be prepared to have it served up too

Or next thing you know the lefty hippies will want hate speech laws for electronic digits to protect their feelings

My goodness marcus, take a chill pill and  go develop another equation. It was a joke song.  Get a sense of humor, ffs

No more plastic drum machines ;-)

Yeah, all well and good, but now I gotta find a human to play em...  because I sure as hell can't...

find a songwriter too while you at it ... you sure as hell can't do that either

What the fuck?  Seriously.

Just somebody on the internet confusing pop music with art?
Seriously

“The largest diamond ever cut in Russia, a 100.94 carat stone called the Alrosa Spectacle, will be auctioned in Geneva on May 12. The diamond could fetch between 12 and 18 million Swiss francs ($19.96 million).”

That will be 337.30 Bitcoin only... who’s up for it?

How much for the NFT, dude?  

[vroom]

I can't believe that people still pay so much money for diamonds. It's possible to create synthetic diamonds which cannot be distinguished from real ones.

the Saturday noon wall report


Bulls continue to battle above resistance on fairly healthy weekend of trading. Bitcoin and the broader market are in the green as buyer stacking continues. This trend is likely to continue well into next week.

Sighs...they are not paying for it being sturdy, but for it being a unique object among the natural diamonds.
This kind of things WILL be popular among bitcoiners (when btc is at $1-5mil/btc...).

Putting a bit more thought to it, I propose to call Finney's $10mil price Finney's conjecture or Finney's limit/ceiling (Hal's limit/conjecture/ceiling works too).
At $10mil per "big unit", that diamond is "just" 2btc-a good present for someone's round birthday, anniversary, etc. if you only need/want to do it once and then keep it in the family. Good packing of value in a small volume too.

India is getting hammered by Covid-19. Situation over there is worse than the chaos what i saw in Brazil.

Absolute madness.

*nod* I'm kind of wondering what the fuck happened, could this be the result of that stupid religious holiday a month ago? If so then man, those Gods are *pissed*

People not wearing masks, and the government allowing massive crowds to gather in the name of religion so they can get votes next election. All this combined with the fact that we're low on oxygen cylinders, and hospital beds are over capacity by a huge amount

I have not met you... so I will try not to be an asshole right out of the gate.  But I find it cognitively very challenging that you can type the bolded, and also have the words: "Be decentralized, be sovryn" in your profile.

People dying from covid is certainly a difficult and challenging problem.  But my limit for where I find it acceptable for a government to deny it's people to assemble is MUCH MUCH higher than yours seemingly.

Millennial or younger?

Religion and tradition should not be an excuse to let people die. When the politicians are saying "Death is inevitable but traditions must go on" it is very hard to agree with them. Everyone deserves freedom, but it shouldn't come at the cost of others.

Younger

Are you nuts?
You are basically giving the government a freecard to do what ever they want with the people as long as they can say that it is "to protect others".

The supreme court is a thing? This is the stupidest shit ive heard

You will have to elaborate on that, and what jurisdiction? What supreme court? And why do you want whatever supreme court you mean to lock people up? Do you want them to be locked up when they get the flu as well?
The numbers are getting pretty accurate now and it seams that the death toll is approximately the same as for the asian and the Hong Kong and less then the Spanish flues.

Picture a mouse and an elephant.
Picture how much a particular person contributed to bitcoin success (via promoting mining, teaching people how to do it with detailed know how, reviews, etc, etc.).
Then picture someone whose contributions are mostly endless diatribes about minutia.

Now, let me propose that @philipma1957 is the elephant (for those in the know in the broader community) and @JJG is the mouse.
Then, picture a mouse telling an elephant that it s mad or less mad at it because of some blah blah (whatever).
The funny thing is, irl elephants are afraid of the mice.
They shouldn't be.

Finito la comedia

I like that.

But the really funny thing is elephants simply don’t give a fuck about mice.

I am simply getting old and cranky and annoyed too easily.

I Don’t know if it is being 64 and finally have positioned myself  in a good way when it comes to coiins.

I don’t know if it is that i helped setup hundreds of people to make money mining.

Trading is and will never be my thing. But I came to this thread last year because I thought the time was ripe for the bull to start running.

So I turned out to be correct. So to all I will post here and I will post what I please.

deal with it.


but i do not say buy shit coins.

go back and read what I post.

actually for me is the fact that someday if lucky I will be in a nice nursing home like my parents..were at before they passed...a fine place...but....even if you are on the ball..you can't

play with finances and such...you'd have a living estate you are in a nursing home by the by....you could I suppose look at grandkids stuff. not the same

can't have cash in a nursing home that is a vulnerable adult issue...you have a dorm sized room...can't fill it up with junk...so be it a school teacher

or a banker...once in the nursing home it is simply giving young staff a bad time and a ribbing and/or sweet-talking your way into another tapioca pudding cup...

since then...nice as it was for my parents (by the by...go to small towns where people actually see their folks and extended family once a week or more is

the way to go..drive far away from any city above like 30,000 to enroll in such is my plan in the future) ....anyway....since then my 'don't give a flying fig' on stuff has gone up about 20x

....dumb as above my sound...the

alternative to not making it into a nursing home is worse!

So I'm brave as f*ck now on many things.....perspective... it's a bitch.

So the next 20 years or so are gonna be played a bit 'more' fast and loose!

My plan is to be rich enough to have a private nurse, if needed I'll convert my home to accommodate what ever is necessary for my care.
But in our family, on both sides. not one single person has ever had to go to a nursing home, they were all fit and lived to a high age until they got sick and died pretty quick at hospital.

I was thinking something very similarly in regards to Searing's plans, because many of us already realize some aspects of his situation including some of his bitcoin (and perhaps crypto) preparations, and with something like a 20 year timeline, fuck, someone in anything even close to his situation (to the extent that we even closely understand some approximation of it) should not even be needing to put very much weight into those various kinds of public subsidized solutions - even if it could be a kind of back-up plan in the event bitcoin were to go to zero or some very low valuation at a time that drawing on such funds would be needed.

In other words, seems to me that someone like searing is in a very good situation, and even relative to other people of his same age and even seems as if he is thinking too small.  

Even though I can appreciate ongoing conservatism in the way that finances are treated and considered, especially when involving future performance, projections, but even with all of that, it seems that searing continues to be way too pessimistic and negative and it's like he does not realize that he has transitioned into a kind of richie/fuck you status. It is like he has neither learned how to be richie or how to plan his future in a richie kind of expectation (even though the future is surely not guaranteed).  But, even if the future is not guaranteed, the BTC price prediction models - even treating them conservative as fuck, should likely allow for someone in a similar situation as searing to actually be able to contemplate various private personal care solutions that are not subsidized and are likely going to put him in a way better position than he expects, even if he has to start using those kinds of services way before his 20 year expectations.

Even one more bitcoin cycle.. assuming this cycle peaks around 3 to 16 months from now, then we potentially have some depressing times, there seem to hardly be any evidence to be presuming doom and gloom, so even something conservative like a 2x situation after the next cycle (that would be 4-6 years from now) over today's prices would still put searing in a very well off position - even if he screws up pretty BIGGLY in a few ways (including panic-selling some stash like a screaming little girl).. which I am not going to put it passed him or anyone else, even if they have had a decently good HODL past practice... which I would largely put searing into that dominantly HODLing camp (even if he were to shave off 50% at a weak point and bad time.. still likely to be sitting quite pretty after another cycle.. which is way less than 20 years).

Yahoo dominated by a lot and the rest had very low $ value.
Then, as the internet hype began, they started to re-price even the lowly one's, which was a complete surprise to me. They began trading at multiple billions.
Of course, later google came in and conquered it all.

Great analysis, man. +2 Merit and +2 WO Merit.

The fact that Yahoo dominated by a lot, and later google conquered it all doesn't reassure me, though. What does it imply in terms of crypto? "Yahoo equals Bitcoin" dominates by a lot and in a few years "Google equals Dogecoin" conquers it all?

What's your idea gents?

That surely is part of the fuzziness in Biodom's analysis in trying to draw those kinds of parallels to bitcoin - even though there could be some helpful insights, such analysis remains quite incomplete without attempting to really particularize bitcoin's circumstances as paradigm changing at the protocol level rather than the kinds of innovation that was going on at second layer levels in terms of the kinds of various companies that Biodom was pointing out in the late 90s early 2000s in regards to internet-related innovations and developments.

The users of yahoo had no money in the game, the users of bitcoin all have money in the game, they had nothing to loose by changing from yahoo to google, bitcoin users have a lot to loose. That's even more true for institutional investors.
I don't think you can compare the two scenarios.

Exactly...

There is a BIG fucking difference when we are talking about a money protocol on the fucking first layer.. never been successfully invented before, versus even what was going on at the internet protocol with very little value at stake in terms of bitcoin's killer app.. se llama money.  Part of the thing that makes bitcoin so god damned amazing in terms of having so many things built into it in regards to money and accounting and then other things that can be built on top of it without having to trust and even people trying to game the system ends u making it stronger.. including shitcoins that imitate it but don't even come close to competing with it while they distract greedy fucks into wanting to get rich quick on the next bitcoin that has about a snowballs chance of happening.. especially with more and more passage of time with bitcoin remaining king and no one really seriously undermining it, in spite of various direct and indirect efforts  - subtle and not so subtle efforts, bitcoin keeps plodding along and absorbing more and more value.. and you better fucking get in it while it is still relatively cheap.  think about 10 years from now when some of the bitcoin naysayers, no coiners, altcoin pumpeners, and the other various skeptics finally come to realize that bitcoin has a wee bit more staying power than they thought and there was a bit more foundational aspects to bitcoin than they thought, and some of us who were suggesting that they just put in 1%, even if they are a skeptic, and they would not listen because they were too smart for their own good with their stupid-ass attempts to analyze bitcoin as if it were a company.. blah blah blah... failing and refusing to either recognize what differentiates bitcoin or at least taking a wee bit of a stake into bitcoin in the even that it might catch on.

The supreme court is a thing? This is the stupidest shit ive heard

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Yeah, the SC did a lot of good there.

Not about bitcoin (mostly)...Get ready for some popcorn munch.
B. Silbert (the one of the negative GBTC premium fame, lol) declared that he went short doggie coin.
Well, oopsie daisy, but he ($1.66 bil worth) is not a match for Elon (166 bil worth) and the "army" of fans.
Barry is another Melvin, perhaps.
Why bother, anyway?
Maybe i should buy some doggie coin...
...nah, but it would be interesting to watch.

Barry better use more of his funds to prop GBTC instead as the "premium" is deeply negative already.
