The market looks boring and probably everybody fell asleep.

I am going to devolve even further... Might be a stretch, but if you are not using a VPN, and you are searching BTC addresses, and you search a bunch together, might there not be a presumption that the person who searched those BTC addresses is the owner of the addresses?  Yes, I am maybe overly paranoid.. but there can be some difficulties in knowing how much privacy we might have if we are not covering up some of our traffic.

^This can not be emphasized enough.

I believe it was in this honourable WO thread some time ago when somebody hinted at running Electrum against public servers (especially for i.e. watch-only cold wallets, or other wallets with more than dust in it) to be a huge opsec risk. It made me switch all my electrum wallets to using my tor proxy in the next minute after I thought a moment about it.

De-anonymizing a dynamic ISP IP or a VPN IP is not as difficult as one might expect and if there is a known, nice reward for wielding the wrench, the motivation for wannabe and professional wrench-wielders could be very high at a minimal risk (minimal compared to other kind of "forced wealth transfers" these sort of people might be specialized in).

For me, my next step - motivated especially by some recent encouraging posts here - will be running a full node, my own electrum server and I also want get some hands-on with LN but I have not the needed resources for that kind of setup yet.

Happens more than once

When sideways, then there are more other things to appreciate

Quality time at home
Movies
Sports, more sports….
Friends
Dinner food b00z
Etc etc

Actually the problem is... that we should appreciate more all these even when the price is skyrocketing.
Then it would not be so visible only when sideways.

These drops and increases are too similar, with the market essentially dead the manipulators have the ability to come out and play. They won't have any real effect on the overall direction of the market but are no doubt making a killing with these moves up and down.

In an hour a thunderstorm is coming and the temperature is going to do a sharp drop from 28 degrees to 20 degrees. At least according to the forecast from SMHI.

28 degrees Celsius is something I don't mind at all, but in the past 2 weeks, I've had at least 5 days when it was +35 (up to 38) and it hasn't rained for 2 months - as if I lived in the middle of the desert. I just hope the storm won't be nearly as similar as the one that hit parts of Germany.

I wonder why I didn't know about this?

How does this news "slip between the cracks"?

Are you guys slacking too or was it posted and I missed it?

The Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (Goldman Sachs or the Company), a global financial institution headquartered in New York, New York, and Goldman Sachs (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (GS Malaysia), its Malaysian subsidiary, have admitted to conspiring to violate the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in connection with a scheme to pay over $1 billion in bribes to Malaysian and Abu Dhabi officials to obtain lucrative business for Goldman Sachs, including its role in underwriting approximately $6.5 billion in three bond deals for 1Malaysia Development Bhd. (1MDB), for which the bank earned hundreds of millions in fees.  Goldman Sachs will pay more than $2.9 billion as part of a coordinated resolution with criminal and civil authorities in the United States, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and elsewhere.

I just watched "The Kleptocrats" documentary, otherwise never would have know about this.

Its nice seeing Ballsacks getting their just deserts!

edited documentary name duh.

The more I dig into the weeds the more I am rethinking the idea of "politicians are the criminals". I used to agree, as in...the politicians are voting away our rights and taking our money to spend in a non consensual way which is criminal in and of itself.

But now I'm seeing that it's literal criminal organisations that are involved in our governments. Murders, pedophilia, human trafficking, all of it.

I think the only solution is to create a fair, decentralised solution for governance such that we can do with governments what we're doing with fiat currency. We're giving an alternative such that over time people can choose the alternative until eventually the old system collapses under its own corruption.

I think the biggest piece of the puzzle to make it all come crumbling down would be to have a decentralised solution to police protection. I have installed Guardian Circle which is a move in the right direction but I think something better can be created. Once people realise that they can replace the police (who are protecting the politicians, not the people) with a decentralised security force (at a much lower price), then the politicians lose all power.

It's not a matter of if, but when...we will need a better alternative.

Governance by mathematics is the way forward, it is the only true universal language.
Law enforcement exist for the better part of thousand years. First police to walk the streets anywhere in the world was in Boston sometime 1850 or so. Police was created to recapture runaway slaves in US and to squash labor uprising in other pasts. Sheriff was law enforcement other countries had other institutions for it.
