Ivomm good luck and speedy recovery! Glad everything is at least moving in the right direction.

Offtopic but still important: stumbled across an interesting article, for those who are interested in the dark state in all it's forms, and the rich and powerful threatening (social) freedoms: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/sep/30/revealed-council-national-policy-republicans-extremists

Every person with some intelligence should now that the model could be invalid at some point…

I just wanted you to know, that I have metaphorically blown my load all over your face, by contributing the max 50 Merit to you, for this period.

#nohomo

Haha same for me…. I have a few that I maxed out for these 30 days

So if I don’t always merit, remember merit sending is limited per person in 30 days period

Also Bob having you back around here is good enough brother

Cheers

Hi guys! I just want to share that both I and my father are recovering well from a series of accidents/illnesses - not covid related, but still life-threatening. I hope the worst is behind us, although my father will need several more months for a full recovery. It is still hard for me to collect my thoughts and share all events here, but may be I will do it one day.

Best wishes to you and your dad.

All the very best to you and your father. Health is the most important thing one can have, and we usually take it for granted...until we lose it.

Take care of your dad as best you can, wishing you both a speedy recovery. We want you strong and healthy for the $1M party. Hurry up -- not much time...

Yearly federal tax revenue USA $3.8 Trillion. Spending bill a ridiculous $3.5 Trillion.

Why not just have a year without any taxes and people will be better off without bureaucracy involved (more jobs / more take home money etc)?

Or is it really about controlling what people do?  

Regardless, with the ridiculous inflation figures at the moment, people being rewarded in BTC instead of crap fiat for work / a job could be closer than I initially was thinking.

Anyone know anything about prenuptial agreements as they would relate to cryptocurrency?

Hypothetically..

Uh ... don't tell her you have any coins especially if she doesn't understand what coins are?

Hypothetically..

Not her keys, not her coins.

The make or break moment is nearly upon us. If the next 40 days doesn’t produce the beginnings of a major bubble, it will start to discourage those of us who have been watching the stock to flow ratio for a couple cycles now.

Luckily it seems there’s news of an approved ETH incoming that seems to be legitimate…

that's a funny typo..what's on your mind? lol

that said, i am not worried...yet, but it seems that NOBODY predicted this cycle..as it should be...contrary to Willy Woo's assertion, bitcoin is not really "mechanical".

I think I’ve been typing about NFTs too much. My phone is getting a little auto-correct happy on the Ethereum references. Between that and always changing my ‘wouldn’t’ to ‘would’ I think my phone is out to sabotage me. Indeed I meant ETF, as it seems like Coinbase tipped off the market with their now deleted tweet.

One of the first things I do when I set up a phone or tablet is turn off auto-correct and disabled dictionaries and stuff like that. For short messages I use all sorts of acronyms and intentional misspellings to get my message across faster. When it's not very time sensitive, I just manually type out the whole word or sentence so the meaning is clearly understood (and even then something gets lost in translation.)

My gut is telling me S2F falls apart soon. In shambles and an afterthought by March 2022.

Hope I'm wrong, but I think we should expect a slower rise than some are anticipating.

I don't think S2F adequately compensates for the reduced effect of halvings. We're nearly at 90% mined. Supply is basically already fixed. Demand is what will drive appreciation.

Isn't S2F all about halvings? It's called Stock to Flow based on what is being mined or what supply is coming in, compared to what is already there.

To put this into better perspective:

90% mined by Dec 16, 2021
95% mined by Apr 3, 2026
99% mined by Mar 20, 2035
99.9% mined by Mar 19, 2048

However, I tend to believe that once we reach 20 million coins total mined is a better point, as that's above 95% 96%, around 2024-ish, or after that maybe 2028. Then it will take a year or two for things to either settle or go moon, so 2030 we start seeing price approach $1m or exceed it and go to $10m, $20m, $50m, even $100m. Over time.

How bout you two open a side-bet on the 2021/22 top price?
below or above $200k, BTC only, with escrow. (Mr. D.?)

Sure thing, just let me know. Got a segwit only cold storage wallet already set up. For on-chain, not Lightning yet. But seems they're not interested anyway.

Yeah, it was a kind of semi-joke in the form of "guys, put your money where your mouth is" 
Thanks for jumping in so quickly, Dabs

So now bitcoin prices are recovering slowly but this turtle race is becoming annoying now at one point and wants a rabbit jump straight above $50k.Till then going to enjoy with my hommies and WO brothers.

By the way have you seen new mining farm under construction in Texas as El Salvador have already started a step forward with volcano power to mine bitcoin.



And here is another video shared by Nayib Bukele for bitcoin mining https://www.instagram.com/reel/CUZb6QrB6xb/?utm_medium=copy_link which seems amazing.

The hashrates are also becoming normal with all the postive news around the globe with all the nonsense of China FUD as they don't matter any longer due to spread of miners across the globe leaving China.

[Dabs]

Ukraine has 15 nuclear plants that are powering half the city or something and the Minister of Energy is considering setting up mining hubs to capture some excess or unused energy.

Part of me is fucking concerned if I’m honest.

seconded.

I think it is too early to say. If we get to the end of December and the price has not gone above $65k we will have to rethink the predictive models we have seen, which are based on similar price rises in cycles after halving. But the last day of September? It's early.

Let's see what happens in the coming months without getting pessimistic and if we get to December and we see that we need to rethink the models, we will rethink them.

Still well under the 25.01 t max in the spring,but getting back on track.

This is bullish as other places have picked up on what China has shut down

[fr4nkthetank]

gasnow shutting down, 1inch legal warnings on website, more services going to shut down.  seems the china crackdown has more muscle this time.  good riddance china

anyways yall see the compound fuckery ?  holy shit, i think you supply usdc or borrow wbtc and get a shitton of comp for no reason.  noticed all the apy % for distribution is set to 0 on the website and the "claim" button is pretty much non-existent now.  System broken ? no problem, just change the website so people cant click on it rofl
