Doge taking BTC down with it and ETH only mildly affected. Not a good look, when a shitcoin can bring down the gold standard in the space.

Ok, a little education time.

Shitcoin indexes are tied to Bitcoin, and thus shitcoin bot trading will move up and down with BTC price.

If whales want to dump shitcoins and really move those markets, they will also dump some BTC at the same time. When btc dumps, shitcoins dump more.

And that's exactly what they did.

Who didn't see the big Doge dump coming on Elon's big night on SNL? I knew that's what the whales were gunning for over a week ago.  

So no, the doge shitcoin did not "bring down Bitcoin". Btc was dumped on purpose.

Yep.
Looking at the hourly, from May 5th onwards you can see a clear uptrend channel, where btc price is oscillating up and down.
Supports your thesis, imho.

We hit $59k already. We can't always only go up, short term.

I am coming to the conclusion that in the future it may be best to be able to defend your home/property yourself. I could either buy vast acreage and build a fortress, or buy an island that is easier to protect as the only people coming will be coming by boat...which can be defended against.

you know there are these things called "aircraft" that make a lot of traditional defenses useless.

Panama has no military really. Certainly no airforce, no navy. That's a big reason we (Ocean Builders) moved here.

The likely encounters I would have would be drug runners or natives trying to rob me and burn down my home.

A friend of mine owns a lot of land here and he recently had to pretty much go to war with some of the native tribes invading his land. Guns were all he needed to chase them out, but not after they had burned down the buildings and stolen what they could steal.

I doubt they'll send fighter jets from the US to disrupt my vast operation of living off grid raising a couple of cattle so I can eat steaks.

For the book we're writing about the seastead adventure we were asked "what is the end goal for you living on a seastead free from government?"
Our engineer: "A hyperloop to launch people into space"
Me: "A lemonade stand. Unregulated without any police interference."

I saw your post about your island..
I think I have a few more years of work ahead of me, and a few more years of HODLing, but I have similar plans for my future..

Not quite as extravagant, but more like retiring to a livaboard sailboat in that area, living cheap..

I just want to be free..

I’m working my ass off right now, 90+ hour weeks, far from home, for the greater goal..

I’ve been home less than 2 weeks so far this entire year, less than half of that time off..
Some day I will have the rest of my life off..

Godspeed to your endeavors...

So what’s gonne happen
We hit 100k soonish

Worst haiku attempt. Evah.

Hmmm... lots of colleagues around here, it seems. There are a few more I know for sure, but they're keeping silence in this discussion.

I will put drums on any song you like.  Wanna hear a sample?

Here... i was setting up a bunch of mics on this low end "too many toms" kit I have in the studio right now and wanted to hear a balance of the kit and also make sure all the toms were making it in OK which is why it's so masturbatory.

What a show off! Want a bit of criticism? All right, OK, I'll STFU.

Well, the timing isn't perfect *runs*
LOL - He didn't play to a click track or metronome, that's why. I was always bad at playing to click tracks, but the groove is pretty cool and shows quite some ambitions.

Trapping in a room with windows is useless.
Better even out the reverb times with Helmholtz resonator panels, gives a natural, not too dead room sound.
Ultimately, you build a floating room in the dimensions you want the low frequency resonances/standing waves to be wiped out.
You'd need some more Bitcoins for that, though  

Do you have good experience with Helmholtz resonators? I wanted to have a taste, and I built a "bottle" (box, not panel), but I found the resonant freq can get amplified, especially in the case of a narrow-band Helmholtz box - that is, the ones without any absorption inside. According to my sources, a thin layer of absorption (rockwool etc) inside the box will "smear" the freq response of the device, which is usually desired.

Not willing to invest too much in treatment with an uncertain bang-for-buck factor, or possibly even detrimental, I dropped the Helmholtz project. But if you have a good experience to report, or can point me to reliable sources, I'm totally willing to reconsider. As it is now, I'm fine with my extensive rockwool paneling, but a little more low and low-mid absorption, shorter RF times etc., can never hurt ;-)

I know helmholtz resonator panels only in theory and by listening to before/after room samples.
Successfully using them means precise measurement of the room, to know where which frequency ranges have to be trapped.
Good room were sounding like crystal clear, but more alive than the usual damped-to-death counterparts. I heard rooms with reverb times of 0.3 to 0.5 secs.
Awesome.

Getting rid of reflections from the mixing desks and outboard racks is maybe as difficult as controlling reverb time over frequency bands.
Best listening/recording environment is open space (in the desert for example.

I'm thinking about a Roland or Yamaha e-Kit lately, time to teach the kids playing the drums BUT i hate the sound of those rubber muting pads, while i prefer real drumshells/heads, though...
Or do i just have luxury problems?
When it comes to instruments, i'd say: for sure!

Books and instruments: the only goods I can't resist buying without remorse...

I've got the "old" Roland TD9 set with upgrade. A billion sound kits of which I use (and like) only one, but that's all you need, rite.

I remain impressed by the realistic feel of these pads (I've played on far less comfortable acoustic sets), but I'll never get used to the sound of hitting them. It's difficult to ignore, especially if you keep the volume low in your speakers or headphones, as I do.

No thing like the real thing, but if like me, you have direct neighbours, there's no alternative and therefore I believe it's a perfectly acceptable compromise.

A used TD-9 will cost you hardly BTC0.0125 at actual USD price, so if the kids change their mind, you'll not have to go begging in the streets to fill that hole in your holiday budget.

What do you mean by "old"? Are new editions, and how can i distinguish them from the "old" one(s)?

In my area, they are a bit more, like $800. Still, for a good, responsive e-kit - not too much.
By "in my area" i mean the closest one about a two hour drive away, about a dozen in a city about two more hours by car.
I would want to have a look at least and try out the kit(s).
But i can wait a while, i guess. I was living now for over ten years without hitting drums, with the exception of steel tongue drums and a cajon

No doubt we're seeing 80k

[uninterestedparty33]

So the mempool hasn't been this empty for a while and some people have told me of feeless tx'es going through. What's next?

I consolidated all my small addresses today.

[BitcoinGirl.Club]

Good evening WO!
Feeling a bit outsider from my regular place.

Still observing we are at $55k+.

The ETH price are going huge lately.

A few days ago the fees were over 200 sat/B for the next block LOL

[shahzadafzal]

The ETH price are going huge lately.

By huge if you mean in 24h from $3,852 to $3,912 then ok

[Arriemoller]

Sideways is boring
Stop going sideways now please
Please start going up

[LFC_Bitcoin]

Ahhhh $58,000....

I believe we’ve met before*



*about 1000 fucking times. Will you stop going sideways & pump, damn it.

[Hhampuz]

Ahhhh $58,000....

*about 1000 fucking times. Will you stop going sideways & pump, damn it.

This was the last time you'd be able to buy below $58k. Onwards and upwards!

[strawbs]

Something's stirring now.
King Daddy about to rip,
Shitcoin noobs will cry.

And there'll be little pity for them here, since we told them so. Repeatedly.

[eXPHorizon]

Me randomly comin in ofcourse   2 talking about business and me on the other the end of the table

[somac.]

Yeah, this shit is starting to get worse then the 9000 Vegeta level.

[Oshosondy]

We need fomo buy

Microstrategy bought bitcoin before, and at $32000 resulted to fomo buy

Tesla bought it at $38000, resulted to fomo buy

Microstrategy again at $50000

We need whales that can cause fomo buy.

We should be patient, price will rise.
