This can't hold long and this inflation rock is such hard hitting that the fiat doors are going to burst soon so better have bitcoin as strong bazukas with you to counter attack hyper inflation

Hi guys ... had been absent for awhile. My father passed away and I have to go visit the country. The little coin I have left has been spent. If anyone wants to help, you can always send me a message. The war is just bad. I have everyone vax'd but still need a bunch of paperwork just in case.

I am saddened to hear about the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and i want to offer my sincere condolences.

You have a lot of great memories of him, i hope you’re able to find peace and comfort during this difficult time.

Take care, Dabs.

  Having survived numerous lockdowns and self-isolations over the last couple of years and now not being able to travel or work anymore having shunned the vaccine, I can sympathize with him.  If not vaccinated against covid, I would be unable to board my private jet, train or yacht.  As much of the "free" world has discovered recently, freedom has a way of routing one out and embracing them wherever they may reside. So glad I live in the free world.
Unfortunately, Bitcoin and a Binance card doesn't fix this.  I guess I should be thankful that I can still travel to those parts of my country which are accessible by car.

I guess it depends how the lockdowns are worded but typically they apply to commercial/public transportation. If I had a plane at the local airport, there would be nothing preventing me from flying any time. I'd imagine yachts would be similar. International travel would be different but the rich also get special consideration there from what I have heard.

Sorry for your loss, Dabs. I've lost both my parents, so I know how it feels.

My sincere condolences.

Sorry for your loss Dabs. There are no words that can fill that void. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

[strawbs]

Very sorry to hear this Dabs. Comments and condolences always seem so insufficient at these times, but sending them nevertheless, in the hope they bring some sense of sharing your grief. I attended a funeral yesterday and found these words comforting, hope you do too:

"You can shed tears that he is gone,
Or you can smile because he has lived.

You can close your eyes and pray that he will come back,
Or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left.

Your heart can be empty because you can’t see him,
Or you can be full of the love that you shared.

You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday,
Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.

You can remember him and only that he is gone,
Or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.

You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
Or you can do what he would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on."

People trying to smuggle fiat, gold etc getting arrested….
BTC would be such a handy tool for many people this moment….

Link to the "many tweets, etc" or it didn't happen...

Finding Nemo...

Do you really believe that I am being played with the use of that term, "crypto"?

If I am being "played" and I am emotional about the matter, then I would not have any kind of choice regarding when to respond or how to respond when I see such term being used, right?

Perhaps?  I won't rule out your theory completely... even though I do believe that there are quite a few bitcoin maxis (if we can be labelled as such) who also get perturbed by such vague use of language... .. so if you think about the matter a wee bit, I am not so much opposed to the use of the term "crypto" because I sometimes use that word myself, but I am more perturbed when the word is used and there is little to no context.. so in that sense, if there is little to no context when using such word ("crypto"), then who is going to know what is the reference?

So for example if someone is actually talking about bitcoin, then why would they chose to use the word "crypto" unless they are a wee bit confused in regard to what the fuck they are talking about?  There are a lot of examples of that, and we get them in this thread on a very regular basis from newbies and even from longer term WO members... So in that regard, some WO members have made comments like:  "why you getting so worked up about the term 'crypto' - everyone else is using it in the press... blah blah blah."  From my perspective, that is just lazy ass thinking, and sometimes those kinds of assertions come from long term WO participants, and I would think that they should know better, but sometimes they do not.. ..

Hey.. and I am not proclaiming myself to be holier than thou either because sometimes I do not know some basic matters related to either bitcoin or even how some "crypto" might relate to bitcoin.. so in that regard, frequently there can be learnings from a variety of angles when we are throwing out some of our ideas within our posts.

In some sense, it seems that I am frequently asserting that if someone is actually using the term "crypto" to talk about what is going on beyond bitcoin, then would it should be preferable that they provide some parameters for their reference to "crypto" in order that the subject matter (the reference to crypto) is actually understood?  Yes.. there is a widespread phenomenon of vague references to bitcoin/crypto, and just because the practice is widespread, it is likely going to continue to be the case that some of us (not only yours truly) are going to continue to be perturbed by such vagueness and unspecificity.. and many times we (beyond the royal) are going to want to make sure that we have some kind of clue regarding what the fuck they might be talking about, in the event that they have failed/refused to specify through their chosen referents (such as the use of vague-ass terms).

Humans are primates. But when we talk about humans we don't call them primates, because primates include this:




When we want to talk about Bitcoin, we shouldn't call it crypto, because crypto includes this:

[...]

To be a billionaire and not own Bitcoin is pure stupidity.

[...]

My thoughts exactly. I'd even say, not only for rich people, but for anyone with a brain.

Bitcoin is a strange beast. I have friends and colleagues who are university-educated, some with Masters and Doctorates, and yet they still dismiss Bitcoin, calling it a fraud and a Ponzi. I guess the fiat standard has been so deeply embedded in people's brains, that, combined with the inherent difficulty in understanding PoW and how Bitcoin works, makes them incapable of recognizing its value.

Sometimes I wonder if Bitcoin adoption by the masses is actually increasing... Still no people (in my social circle) know enough to be able to "do it themselves". They always need me to spoon-feed them everything, and even when they buy some tiny amount of corn, they don't really understand what they've done. There's no spark in their eyes. They're just not ready for it yet. Still a long way to go...

Very good points AlcoHoDL.

Many of us have likely heard some of those theories about those who have lived well under current status quo systems, including if they might be "property rich" being unable to recognize and appreciate the value proposition of bitcoin - perhaps partially due to a kind of intangible presence that bitcoin has - and also many of them will almost completely write off any attempt to look into the matter because they will immediately categorize the bitcoin proponents as bag pumpers.. so yeah, there are some strong resistances towards even allowing some folks to even entertain the proposition that there actually might be some value in bitcoin beyond hype.

Like you, AlcoHoDL, I remain very skeptical of any kinds of claims that bitcoin is spreading through the consciousness of the people and adoption of bitcoin is becoming quite wide-spread through the various technical sections of the population blah blah blah.. which seems to be just some nonsense talking point to attempt to assert that bitcoin may well be reaching some kind of meaningful saturation point, when the reality of the matter is that some bitcoin hoarders do end up getting attention, but even many long term bitcoiners remain pitifully under-allocated (or we might call that whimpily allocated) with their 20 bitcoins that they bought in 2015 for example (hahahahaha .. I had to throw that little dig in there)...

Another way of being whimpily or underallocated would be folks who have supposedly diversified their "crypto" portfolios with a bunch of crap with a kind of presumption that there is some kind of significant/meaningful value in going beyond bitcoin - even though, sure they may hold some bitcoin as a kind of hedge.. I remember so many folks proclaiming that they own 10% bitcoin and the rest in a variety of crap while they would be counted as a bitcoiner, even though they are overly distracted rather than really recognizing and appreciating bitcoin's investment thesis. 

So, yeah even the shitcoiners are going to have some level of resonance when it comes to bitcoin, and surely the gold bugs are going to be able to understand the concepts behind investing into bitcoin, but so many of them remain way underallocated in bitcoin (if they have any bitcoin at all), and in the population as a whole, if you were to approach randomized people on the street or some other way of randomizing your selection, and if you get 1/10 to actually understand what you are talking about when you mention bitcoin, you are having a good day... 1/20 might be more accurate odds of having a kind of successful and meaningful "resonance" hit rate.
