If you are a whole coiner or aspiring to be one soon just think of this: The last Bitcoin will take 40 years to mine! OK. This is interesting. I did a quick calculation: Going backwards from the last block, 1,808,390 blocks are needed to make 1 BTC (1.0000022 BTC to be exact). 1,808,390 / 6 (blocks per hour) / 24 (hours per day) / 365.25 (days per year) = 34.4 years (approx.) to mine the last BTC.I could be wrong in my calculation above, but 34.4 years is still a very long time! tl;dr: HoDL your corn, it will soon be the rarest monetary unit in the universe!

End of year/beginning of new year prediction:
Some well-known entity or person is going to announce a sizeable bitcoin acquisition. It could be Elon Musk (again), Jack, M. Saylor, Ark Invest, or some other notable person or company we haven't heard about yet.
It'll either happen right before 2021 ends, or shortly after 2022 begins.
Just leaving this here for the funzies.

On purple paint, I haven't looked it up but have unofficially heard that it may need to be 12 inches, top to bottom to be legal. I've seen a lot of guys just throw an old tyre over a fencepost, and paint that.
For our ranch, the pipe posts every 100 ft were entirely painted purple from top to bottom.Big, tall, girthy, permanent, tornado-resistant, heavy metal pipes, dipped in purple paint; top-to-bottom.Is that not a problem? According to an earlier post (no pun intended!) the purple paint must be “placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than 3 feet from the ground or more than 5 feet from the ground.“ so if it goes right down to the ground it's not compliant. Probably not serious, but you wouldn't want an issue on a technicality. I think he's fine. The regs are mostly about making sure that the paint is able to be seen, i.e., at roughly chest height to eye level, no high bushes or other obstructions, etc. That's because most trespassers will try to claim that they didn't or couldn't see the paint. I think his painted posts are fairly obvious, would definitely hold up in court.

About these purple "no trespassing" markings, can't this be used by someone to get away with murder? You drag someone inside the fence, you shoot him dead, and then claim he was trespassing and did not respond to verbal warnings and warning shots. How would the authorities in the relevant USA territories deal with this?
In contrast to the above, in many (most?) countries in the world, you will be put to prison if you shoot a burglar when he is inside your house, even if you legally carry a weapon. Even more surprising is the fact that, in the UK, police officers are not normally allowed to carry firearms (IIRC -- UK WOers, please confirm if that's the case).
I think somebody posted that this doesn't give you the right to shoot the intruder but you are allowed to use force to hold him and hand him over to LE. In our country it's much worse, you may not touch the guy that is standing beside your bed with your money in his hands when you wake up. People here are joking that best you can do is offering him a sandwich and a coffee while he awaits with you the arrival of LE. Though they sometimes have unfortunate accidents on stairs while they wait with you for the coppers... My doc once told me to use 50-100cm of very thick electric cables (like the ones that run into a house) instead of a baseball bat. He said the bat slips down the bone and doesn't crack it, while the installation cable winds around bones and makes sure they crack nicely (also seems to hurt a bit more). Trusting my doc on this and got myself some fat cables from my electrician friend

I would definitely throw out Saylor and MicroStrategy, as they buy periodically and mostly below 5000 BTC. Also Jack Dorsey is no longer a Twitter CEO and I don’t see that there could be anything there. Mr.Mars is always an enigma, but he is currently focused on shitcoins, and it would also be strange to invest in BTC, while at the same time expressing concern about how Bitcoin mining is extremely harmful to the planet. Ark, however, is a company that has a focus on some other things, when it comes to Bitcoin, they are mostly focused on ETF - futures based.

tl;dr: Posts painted entirely purple are more than is required. Texas Penal Code § 30.05. Criminal Trespass
Sec 2 (D) the placement of identifying purple paint marks on trees or posts on the property, provided that the marks are:
(i) vertical lines of not less than eight inches in length and not less than one inch in width;
(ii) placed so that the bottom of the mark is not less than three feet from the ground or more than five feet from the ground; and
(iii) placed at locations that are readily visible to any person approaching the property and no more than:
(a) 100 feet apart on forest land; or
(b) 1,000 feet apart on land other than forest land; or
(E) the visible presence on the property of a crop grown for human consumption that is under cultivation, in the process of being harvested, or marketable if harvested at the time of entry.

Somehow I got into the wrong movie today, I wanted actually to watch "Honeybadger goes to moon" but I ended up in some third class drama called "Bipolar clown pumps doggie meme shit". Remind me again, when is the last Doge mined? What, never? Huh, and people buy this crap at 20 cents. Makes you really wonder about the level of insanity in this world. Oh, okay I see, it is because Doge is totally green et al while bitcoin is running on coal and diesel... makes sense. * psycodad shakes head again in disbelief, starts drinking earlier than usual..

(a) 100 feet apart on forest land; or
(b) 1,000 feet apart on land other than forest land; or Interesting law that Purple Paint Law. I'd expect laws like this to be relics from the 1800s, so it's surprising to read the latest implementation was just 10 years ago. As a non-American hiker, I understand gates, wires and "no trespassing" signs. But until yesterday, I would not have guessed purple poles hundreds of meters apart mean "dare and we shoot"! Any other laws I need to know about if I ever visit Texas?

I don't want to come across as overly-clever or anything, but cleaning up that biological evidence alone, after having committing a crime like that, is not likely to work out in your favor. You have to admire Texas. No messing or you get shot. That's Hardcore but at least you know where you stand

.... this seems quite clear that the mark needs to end 3 to 5 feet above the ground .... a post painted all the way to the ground is just a purple post, not a purple-marked post ... at least it's an upgrade on a rusty old pipe

Oh, okay I see, it is because Doge is totally green et al while bitcoin is running on coal and diesel... makes sense. * psycodad shakes head again in disbelief, starts drinking earlier than usual.. But doge has descending inflation rate enforced while fiat does not. ie year as it mines x a year 1 x doge 2 2x doge 100% inflation 3 3x doge 50% inflation 4 4x doge 33% inflation 5 5x doge 25% inflation 6 6x doge 20% inflation 7 7x doge 16.67% inflation 8 8x doge 14.28% inflation 9 9x doge 12.50%. " 10 10x doge. 11.11% " 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 20x doge 21 21x doge 5% inflation 22 23 24 25 25x doge 26 26x doge 4% inflation ... 50 50x doge 51 51x doge 2% inflation 100 100x doge 101 101x doge 1% inflation in year 100 So as fucked up and shitty as Doge is it is better than fiat as its inflation rate descends year after year. And it never runs out of coins to mine BTC is built to be rare as fuck I have 1300th mining it every day and only get 2.386735 coins a year of which 0.5966 is mine to keep. I know this is a BTC area and I am not a big DOGE fan as a buyer or seller of it. But it is still viable to mine and convert to cash and BTC

"You will own nothing (of any real value), you will be broke, and you will be happy." “America is the prophetic image of the rest of the urban-industrial world as it will be a few years from now – recent public opinion polls have revealed that an actual majority of young people in their teens, the voters of tomorrow, have no faith in democratic institutions, see no objection to the censorship of unpopular ideas, do not believe that government of the people by the people is possible and would be perfectly content, if they can continue to live in the style to which the boom has accustomed them, to be fueled, from above, by an oligarchy of assorted experts. That so many of the well-fed young television-watchers in the world’s most powerful democracy should be so completely indifferent to the idea of self-government, so blankly uninterested in freedom of thought and the right to dissent, is distressing but not too surprising.”
– Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World Revisited” (1958)
