I figure if I need a hard copy I can always print it, which is why I'm not too fond of epub and mobi. I've ended up converting them to PDF anyway.
Epub and mobi are actually preferable for that *because* they are designed for reflow. PDF is a layout format so if (for an admittedly rare example) your PDF was designed for a 5"x5" page, printing to letter or A4, it would be suboptimal (in fact, even the differences between letter and A4 have caused me issues on occasion).

Hence why I specifically cited the fact I consider this (my first {natural}) a "second language". ;P And it gets worse every year!Really? you don't have JJGay on ignore? If you don't love JJG you don't love Bitcoin. You heard it here first. I am so blushening... Now it seems that we have broken resistance and that we are going to 50K in the blink of an eye.
$46,325.22 on bitstamp.
Waiting for trolldhon and his theories.
Theories??? It's math and science pal. That ain't no theory. Since when did math and data science not include statistical theories? One theory is the amount of short positions are still over leveraged last I checked ( with $2 billion open positions). The bears are refusing to exit their losing positions, instead are holding onto their shorts Bitcoin as it rises and finds support above the 200 Day MA What happens theoretically when these positions get liquidated is they have to buy back into Bitcoin. This is how the $50-60K "blink of an eye" can occur. All theory obviously, but 35% shorts vs longs in a bull market is still over leveraged imo. Remember when price crashed 30% in a day? If you are referring to May 2021, then surely a rapid crash in a short period, such as a day (or less) would be important, yet even the dragging out of what amounted to about a 50% crash in a week seemed to have had even more profound significance in terms of traders not necessarily wanting to close their position at a loss or less of a profit because they continue to believe that the bottom has been reached and they may even double and triple down upon the belief that the correction could not go any further (at least it should not within the high probabilities assigned to the circumstances).. So leverage makes the matter worse, but the dynamics are similar in terms of both not wanting to give up on a position. The market was over leveraged long, the bulls got liquidated. Some theorized this would happen, I ignored it. I won't ignore this scenario in the opposite direction. That would be naive. Ideally everyone exists their losing positions before liquidation, or at least at different prices. But they don't, and they never learn.
It tends to be a prudent position to hold onto your position, but surely bitcoin's outrageous runs, whether towards UPpity or DOWNity can really reck those folks who continue to hold onto their position. Probably in bitcoin the glory is even so much greater, when it occurs, and the outrageousness goes towards UPpity. There tend to be so many folks who try to categorize bitcoin as if it were a mature asset class and they either underappreciate (or don't recognize at all) the exponential s-curve adoption aspect of bitcoin's underlying fundamentals, and surely it becomes nice to see those periods play out, and sure it is not just the leveraged players who get fucked by their failure/refusal to appreciate/recognize BTC's exponential s-curve adoption component. There are some of us who try to point out (until we are blue in the face) bitcoin's exponential s-curve adoption component to people/normies in order that they can appreciate that they do not need to invest a whole hell of a lot into bitcoin, relatively speaking, and just get the fuck off of zero and they will likely get a decent amount of value in that - and sure of course, there is even more value in putting a more meaningful stake into bitcoin, but still the "more meaningful " stake is not absolutely necessary in order to still get a decent amount of value in just being moderate and getting off of zero as a first step. Another thing is that people (whether friends, relatives or just acquaintances) tend to look at you like you are some kind of wack job that is trying to evangelize some kind of cult ideas (or pump your bags), and frequently, I do try to clarify that I could give few fucks if they actually buy any bitcoin or get involved in bitcoin because it is likely going up no matter what I do or they do, and they can either be "in on it" or just sit on the sidelines like a bump on the ground while the greatest wealth transfer in their lifetime is taking place - and still the vast majority of the time the normie(s) in the audience does not do shit to even take the bare minimum steps of setting up some basic accounts in order to even come close to getting off of zero.

Yeah, I understand this, it was like ... a bunch of things Adobe did that protection was weak, like all their previous generation software, particularly Photoshop (which is why everyone seems to have it, or it's always at the top of the list on the pirate bay.)
As for the PDF files themselves, I don't mind the free reader app, and Calibre works too, and I've gotten a whole bunch of them over the years, saved, offline. Books, some are obviously scanned and saved as a PDF instead of 300 jpegs. Others are actually decent texts that were created using Word or some other document word processor and saved/printed to PDF. I figure if I need a hard copy I can always print it, which is why I'm not too fond of epub and mobi. I've ended up converting them to PDF anyway.
If your adamant about using pdfs then at least don't use reader. Foxit is a great alternative, its defaults protect you from alot of pdf background fuckery.

Random chart of the month: Bitfinex Shorts Liquidation range on a monthly scale (Note three Monthly wicks confirming resistance to shorting pressure with liquidation zone) This otherwise isn't something easily recognized on the Weekly chart: Bitfinex 94.5% long at the moment. Shorts chart looks bearish regardless. Room to bounce before further liquidations at best.

PDF is a layout format so if (for an admittedly rare example) your PDF was designed for a 5"x5" page, printing to letter or A4, it would be suboptimal (in fact, even the differences between letter and A4 have caused me issues on occasion). Oh, never paid much attention to that. It's a good thing I just keep all of them. I do understand the reflow thing, but I don't like much when some text have hard-coded page numbers in them and reflow causes a little confusion. It's a minor thing and probably the fault of the author for not making the text "know" which goes to what page. Most of the PDFs I have had to view are in Letter format, 8.5 x 11, so it's not an issue for me personally. I guess it's a "metric" vs "imperial" kind of thing where everyone should be using A4, but you know how these standards developed and the countries that use them. It's going to take awhile before some countries stop using miles and pounds and "Letter" If your adamant about using pdfs then at least don't use reader.
Foxit is a great alternative, its defaults protect you from alot of pdf background fuckery.
I tried it before. I know a little bit enough about Reader to keep me sane when using it. Also tried different apps on mobile devices, and after trying a bunch of them ended up going back to Reader too. A lot of government forms in PDF recommend (or require) Reader, they don't seem to work as well with others. I'll keep trying, maybe Foxit is much better now than before.

The price is taking a while to take off. In theory there is no resistance anymore until $50K or so, but it seems to be struggling although it is still gradually moving upwards. Source.

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.
You have to realize that your personal experience does not apply to the whole population. You might not get happier if you get rich, but the majority of people do, as shown by science, and me. In this one you are simply wrong I'm afraid. Still, it's not the money that makes you happier. It are the things it buys you, aren't they? So i stand by my point, people get happier if they get rich, because they know how money makes them able to buy things that make them happy. BUT many things make you happy only for a short time. So people want "more happy", buy more things. The old supercar isn't super anymore? No problem, buy a new one. Enjoy it until you see the next, even more super supercar. The moment you know there is a better one you want to have, you're unhappy (about still having the old one).

Well one good thing about covid is township changed rules on sheds. I can have 2 of them. 120 sq ft each. Vs 1 at 100 sq ft. I opted for a 8 by 14 = 112 sq ft. as my fence has a 10ft gate so I can not fit a 10 ft shed.
gate below
pad I did myself 4.5 tons of 3/4 inch bluestone. Wicked case of poison ivy clearing the brush out.
shed it will have a mirror image on the right Side of the yard. maybe by fall.
This should allow me to organize spare parts and keep the mining parts out of the house. Cost was 4600 for shed well made all real plywood inside and 2 by 4 on 16 inches for framing. The top windows let in a ton of light. And the lower windows let in more. A lock on the double door. I paid 240 for the bluestone I paid 160 for black weed block I paid 300 for 4 by 4 wood I paid 100 for some stainless steel anchors and hardware. So 5400. oh 100 bucks for Poison Ivy treatments. I will photo it in place later on.
