I'm just having a break with coffee and a Danish I think called Fika in Sweden, while deciding whether to treat a crop today, with the risk of rain or wait until tomorrow. Your English language skills are excellent.
He have improved so much in fact that I had forgotten he is not a native speaker and only after reading this recalled how bad he was originally. Well done Arrie, I wish I could become bi-lingual but I'm too stupid to learn another language and after being a native English speaker my entire life still consider this illogical conglomerate of inconstant arbitrarian descriptives a second language. So, I went back and checked my first posts, I don't think the English in them is bad at all, are you confusing me with someone else? And thanks. My early posts. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=159292;sa=showPosts;start=2920I remember quit a few times having to reread your posts in the past but can't remember having to do that in recent times. But I also mostly have scanned this thread just to keep up so that probably has a lot to do with it as well. Ok, I guess other people are better to judge my English then I am than I am

On the earlier discussion about money not making you happy. I recall a study done where it's not so much that money makes you happy but not having money makes you less happy. I think the key is to reach the point where you're not worried about money anymore so you can focus on better things in life. But the less money you have, you certainly do need to worry about money. I've been at the lowest end of the scale to well beyond the highest and I would agree. I would caveat this with the fact that though I did not have money (I figured out the many ways to cook potatoes as it was all I had to eat for weeks, and later finding Bar-S hot dogs for $1 and a loaf of bread for $1 could get me through a week of meals) I knew that if things got too bad I could fall back on family. So my level of desperation never hit huge lows. My current goal in life is not about having super cool awesome stuff, lambos, etc. It's about ensuring that the rest of my life I am not in the position I was early in my life. My problem with government has always been that they are the biggest factor in stopping me from ensuring my future through the use of violence. Thx elwar…. I’m very interested in these kind of studies… Good when I have some discussions with some peeps I’m of the opinion Money doesn’t make happy… but it make thing way easier and that’s why it does make people happy Like not have the need of worrying to pay monthly bills, able of going on holidays etc Then comes the point of more money could be better, holidays can go easier more exciting, a bigger car, better house little more luxury things etc Do I need most of gadgets not really but when there is more money then mostly more things are being bought. I can say there isn’t really a lot making me happy these days from gadgets, I do like a nice house to call home and a nice car to drive with…. So money doesn’t necessarily makes one happy but the comfort it can give and taking away some stress points that’s something anyone becomes happy from… Being able of taking my Gf or brother or someone I like on a trip or at a high class restaurant and give them the experience they wouldn’t have … that makes me happy as well So I’m in favor of having more money as less money is a thing that could give join, an important thing maybe is to use it on important stuff as well and not only gadgets … My experience: You can only be worried about money if you have money you don't want to lose, for any reason. No money, no worries (about money). No woman, no cry. Money well gives you security, which again, is not happiness. Well, maybe happiness is sometimes dependent on security. But it's not the same at all. Having owned a cruise ship I found it only gave myself and my business partner nothing but grief. It became a very expensive thing that was like a big target for people/entities that wanted nothing but money from us and there are so many systems in place for them to get it lest we lose our very valuable asset. Owning it was like having someone holding some blackmail over your head (do what we say or we take away your cruise ship). We were more than happy to get the thing off of our hands, at one point willing to just sink it in the ocean rather than deal with the headache of it. Even now, half a year later we're dealing with one particular leech, paying lawyers heavily to deal with him.

That graph starts at some value above zero though so you probably aren't on it anywhere as technically, you don't have any income. Unrealized capital gains don't count!

If you are unhappy because you aren't rich, you ignore the most basic principle of happiness: It comes from the inside, not from the outside.
One of them was the best drummer i ever saw/heard. He had a room full of vinyl metal records --snip-- He had to tweak (or kill) his inner self to match the expectations of the world of the rich, to stay inside. He fell for the plain old "selling your soul" thing.
The other lesson came from a poor friend of mine. --snip-- He just said: "i smile".
EDIT 3: One last thing: The original wording by my poor, happy friend was "If you're always happy, you can't stop smiling. If you don't stop smiling, you're always happy". He described it as "something like a feedback-looped duality" (freely translated)
I'm going out on a limb: This is more relevant for us than some of us imagine. I agree with the "smile and be happy" as a cause/effect feedback thingy. Within reason. It actually works. Good stuff. Merited.

Hate to break the news to uie poo-ie, Hueristic, but I will. Someone's gots a do it. Your English sucks about as badly as sirazimuth's singing. No homo. It is now, and in the future that average Joe/s will start to Google 'crypto' and then 'when/where lambo' Are you lost? What the fuck are we talking about some amorphous concept in this here bitcoin thread? Do you mean bitcoin when you use the term "crypto?" If so, then why not just use the word bitcoin, if that's what you mean? If you are talking about something else then take that to some other thread. I stand by my $47000 in one hour prediction. As it is proven in maths and science

Just keep saying it. Sooner or later, you are going to be correct, even if it takes a few years.

Big chart To get the red trendline, I ran a quadratic regression with time as a function of price, then solved the quadratic to yield price as a linear function of the square root of time. Yellow is the 100 week geometric mean, adjusted to follow the trendline. Small chart Running the square root trendline through the quadratic regression function sets the red trendline to days elapsed, linear. Price and geomean likewise. Then subtracting the geomean from the price gives the oscillator, in green. Dark brown and pale blue lines trace the oscillator's lows and highs. Big chart again Oscillator high and low traces translated to the price domain. The oscillator between 600 and 1000 historically is bubble territory. The early spike in 2013 and the recent ATH both came in around 600. I think the question now is whether the market goes manic and beats 600 this halving cycle. There's no reason it has to.

Yeah, I knew that was pretty bad, but I was to busy to fine tune the sentence like I usually try to do.
