Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[slaman29]

1% seems very low, especially for having been in for 4 years. I would say that even 5% would only really be for someone who doesn't really grok Bitcoin and is just getting going. (If you're just getting started and don't have much extra to invest, I could see lower numbers but then you probably don't have much in the way of other investments either).

Still, I always advocate that people should be comfortable with the investments they're making so I'm not going to call you wrong.

But as his own post says, it really depends. I think people sometimes forget that investors do see Bitcoin as a new asset, and therefore a new aspect for investment. For serious investors, to actually add a new type to their portfolio is a big deal. I would see most big serious investors having majority in something proven like gold or even I guess government bonds. And then bluechip stocks for quick gains.

Remember, BTC can do x10 in a relative short period. Which means the 1% can grow to 10%. But also can do x0.15 very quickly!

This guy did a test, he drove 400 km, same route, with and without a fan.
He saved 10% fuel and 0-90 was 1 sec faster, springweather, 10-12 degrees, no problem with overheating.

I guess the next exciting price is previous ATH. Might be a bit of a slog.

Yes. The fan is most useful at low speeds and when not moving. As I found out once upon a time.

It looks like his fan is clutched though? I believe my wife's mini ran the fan constantly.

My first (several) cars had vacuum windshield wipers. They slowed down when you went up a hill.

Wow, that's old

I remember buses having that when I was a kid, every time the bus stopped the wipers stopped or slowed down as well.

Yeah, I'm still in kind of "been there done that" mode.

Don't really know what that means, it's a "visko fan" the hotter it gets the more it connects to the engine and the more it turns, its some kind of fluid and a bimetal thingi inside.

Yes. Clutched just means the coupling to the engine is controllable. Just means it shouldn't be as bad as a constantly connected one. Like this:



I think they went electric in the later years though and conversions were common.

 Yeah a constant pump; not one of those clutched pumps!

The price of wood is more or less back to normal now.
