BTW: Lately I've had this urge to ditch my smartphone completely, who wears an "ankle tracker" willingly when all you get on it is propaganda and useless notifications in return? I've been calling these things personal trackers since the 90's. Almost never take one with me, it would be stupid to make a pattern and then break that pattern one day!

I usually carry it with me, but turned of, if I need it I just turn it on and do what ever (like taking pictures at Biltema) and then turn it of again.

How do you guys make pictures smaller when you quote?
Add width and height values to the image tag like this [img width=X height=Y]http://[/img] where X and Y are the values you want. Example I added height to the first image and changed the width to the second.

Short the shit out of this false breakout dudes like a boss! Dont be sheep, sell like a man.
Disclosure: Sold BTC772 at $153.
That simple post stopped me in my tracks this morning. I had to spend a few minutes pondering over it. It's the same way those selling at >$40,000 will also look in a few years from now. Do a mental take on it to get the impact of that reality in today's value. As far as we know you are quoting a dead man. He held a lot of bitcoin while he was alive, and probably lost more than many in this thread could imagine. But he was mentally unstable, had a bit of an unhealthy relationship with substances, and ended up leaving behind a wife and kid. He bought a haunted house in Estonia for a million USD and it burned down a while back. Possible his "death" was a hoax. Yeah, with him that's very possible. But I don't think so... Possibly the biggest lesson to learn from Risto is all the money in the world is truly worth nothing in the end. The things we think it gains us? They cannot be purchased. Happiness cannot come from wealth. Risto spent a lot of time trying to buy himself the admiration of others. he surrounded himself with people who would worship him. And in the end he lost everything, and in a spectacular and tragic way. Popescu is another that fits a lot of these sorts of things, though I think he worshiped himself enough not to need many others... There are some folks in this thread with plenty of money who live miserable lives, and some who have only a little, but have happiness. And there are a few who have both wealth, AND happiness... but have you ever noticed how that seems to be the smallest group? Interesting. And worth thinking about considering where we are going. Many of you who have a "little, and happiness" are not going to stay in that group for much longer. Make sure you hang on to what matters and live life along the way. No moment can ever be reclaimed. In the end, if you were not happy before you were rich, it's unlikely you will be happy when you are (rich). My two cents. But what if you are unhappy because you aren't rich?

Edit in “width=100” (or whatever size you want. Check in preview and adjust to suit)after “img” code. It’s how I do it.

This is so true. But what if you are unhappy because you aren't rich?
I don't think this can be the reason for someone to be truly unhappy. Sometimes we have some deep personal problem in life, and we try to change everything else but the only thing that is really making us unhappy we don't change. I have lived something like that few years ago... my 2 cc. Money can make things more pleasant, but it won't solve our personal issues (but it will help solving them)

Money can't buy you happiness they say. But it can buy so many nice things (including lambos, hookers and blow) that can make your life at least a tiny bit happier... sure, money lets you avoid a lot of misery. but happiness is where you find it, and can cost nothing.

Almost never take one with me, it would be stupid to make a pattern and then break that pattern one day! with cameras automatically tracking license plates, using any credit card or show any ID at any location they already have you pegged if they want. they sure know my favorite weed dispensaries lol the phone "tracker" has far far evolved beyond just tracking.
