Given that the poll (if it were unlocked) is for the whole of 2022 do we think this will be the only poll this year?

I used to think kitesurfing is the most entertaining thing you can do with clothes on, but I was wrong, apparently.

Nice one Richy_T.

Ahah thanks JJG, I somehow missed the great video posted by Richy_T.

On that regard, I can say I didn’t miss the nature of the saying at all.
 I am not ashamed to write it again in plain English:

I used to think kitesurfing is the most entertaining thing you can do with clothes on well behind sex, but I was wrong, apparently.

On the other hand, I am called Italian stallion for a reason

I got a little bit of a chuckle out of your posting about the topic fillippone, because in some sense, I am not even sure if Dave Gorman, the comedian in that clip, is that concerned about the truth of the matter asserted, but instead harping on both how frequently the expression is used, and than also a bit of questioning about how well people appreciate what they are saying when they use the sentence.. and sure sometimes there could be some truth of the matter asserted within the expression... but also having had listened through the whole clip, we may well start to pay more attention when someone actually uses the expression.. because surely there might be some attempts at humor when using the expression, but it might not exactly be funny for the reasons that was originally intended. 

I doubt that I am personally going to stop using the expression (and I cannot really recall using it recently), but having had watched the clip, I might be a wee bit more intentional in my use of the expression.. just for funzies.

By the way, sometimes depending on your audience, let's say talking with your grandma or an older relative, sometimes you might NOT want to use such an expression, just like you might NOT want to slip in that "they call me Italian Stallion for a reason" even though it seems to play pretty well with the WO audience.. #justsaying....

Can you imagine fillippone in a conversation with grandma of fillippone, and then grandma of fillippone says, "oh and the door was shut right?" or "you had clothes on right?" or "what were those imprints on the beach?" and fillippone responds:  "they call me Italian Stallion for a reason."  I am thinking that the expression might not play to well with grannie.

Ho, hum.

Another 1/3/xx will come and go with me holding the keys to over 99% of my sats.  

I do admit to having a few sats on WoS, and Coinos.io which are custodial.  But I have less than 200k sats on addresses, or in wallets for which I do not hold the private keys.

The reason I state this, is not to be snooty, or even an idealist.  But there should not NEED to be a day on which we encourage people to self custody.  People should ALWAYS self custody.  Otherwise they do not get Bitcoin.  Holding a few sats in custodial hot wallets?  Well, that level of risk tolerence should be up to each user.  

But far too many people do not custody their own coins.

This is true in spite of the fact that some people have EXTREMELY compelling arguments to have a trusted third party.  For example Microstrategy is recently being shamed by idealists for having a third party custodian.  But this is a very understandable risk.  Because they need to follow various regulatory requirements, and do not really have a choice.  So it is not all cases in which we can do it... but in those where we can?  We should!

This shaming is so misguided.  The majority of sheep hitting like on that tweet do not hold the keys to their coins.  THOSE are the people we need to "get it".

So...  if any of you denizens of the WO are still letting a third party hold the keys then reach out to me via DM if you want.  I will help you set up a secure way to custody your own coins.

Eventually the governments are going to make a move around custody.  You are really going to want to be holding your keys when this happens.

@jjg..the problem with you is that you are wishy-washy about EVERYTHING and not willing to take a stand.
F-g percentages.
Basically, you:
1. don't want to risk anything
2. hide behind 'negotiations'
3. did not take a chance to DOUBLE your stash while having a 4:1 odds advantage.

I conclude that you are all air (or bits, whatever).
I cannot take your opinions seriously anymore, but not a surprise, really...you has always been one gigantic gas bag.

IF I were a trader... I would take out a little long right about here... lets see how dumb that will be?

IF I were a trader... I would take out a little long right about here... lets see how dumb that will be?

If I were a trader...I would take out a big short position right about here and keep it alive no matter what. By the end of the year all will see that that will have been a smart strategy.

Bullish! Moon soon. Confirmed. Math and science.  

P.S. So relieved to see proud honey is back! Now I'm sure we'll see another ATH in 2022. 

[JayJuanGee]

I want 69,420 in poll options.

(I won’t select but still I want to see)

The question might need to be different.

I could hardly imagine a top that is so close to $69k.. in part because once we get to surpa $62k (if we get there?) we are likely to pass right through that and up to $92k... I know, my theorizing of noman's land did not work out to well the last time around, but I doubt that we can really give up upon the dynamics that tend to exist when we approach previous ATHs.. especially if we spend a decent amount of time correction before revisiting.. and this time around we are going to have at least 2 months from visiting $69k and revisiting it again.. and maybe more likely we could be in the 3-4 month arena.. again, that is if we get back above $62k... which many of us likely still conjecture to be the case, even if some of the bitcoin naysayers, no coiners, uninformed and shitcoiners may well have already written off revisits of our current ATH of $69k.

Everyone bought the top at some point

That’s exactly how it is. I hate the term “early adopters” every other news article or YouTuber starts his comments about bitcoin like “If you are a lucky early adopter of bitcoin”:

It’s been 11 years now and if you are coming into bitcoin today of course you will be an early adopter too. Just HOLD and wait for your turn to be called “early adopter”.

Of course, I appreciate your point regarding some of the baggage that may well come from the label "early adopter," but from my perspective, such label has way more positives than it does negatives, so in that regard, I have a hard time to do anything but embrace it.. furthermore, we are not really going to get people from saying things that are inaccurate or just coming to faulty and ill-informed conclusions.

Something like this could be decently good blanket response:  "You too can become an early adopter, but it takes action rather than sitting on the sidelines."

Well, in the end, it's just a bit of observational humor and not really to be taken all that seriously. My posting of the video was not a critique of fillipone's post but just sharing the opportunity for a chuckle.

Now, if I were to post a David Mitchell video, he's usually a bit more directly critical.

Close, but no cigar.
Mhhh I tough the riddle had been already solved on the Thread, but I like everyone having a little bit of fun!

And that video indeed made me chuckle a lot.
I think I am quite fluent in English, and able to get some joke and puns, but I didn’t really knew that phrase was so widespread, rightly for the latent sexual reference.

Ah!
No! This is not definitely going to happen!
Nor I never referred to anyone even vaguely related with family as a “milf!”… no, this could spell disaster!

And Yes, I think WO is a good place for this kind of jokes.

[AlcoHoDL]

Damn... WO overload. Spent the last few days with family & friends, far away from the 'puter... Not easy to catch up...

Better late than never, as they say...

HAPPY NEW YEAR to ALL WOERS !!!

May 2022 be "The year of the fuck-you richness!" <--- I know so!
