OT:

New comet stack from yesterdays session.
My current setup doesn't like the guiding cam, so the startrails are washed out, because i switched off the guiding.
It's way harder to get a good, sharp picture of it than i thought.

you could have googled it yourself but here you go:

You could also post a link that mentions LB, not the one to the article from Europol.

I did not make that connection and I did not know that they reported on things like this.

For someone who should be a Legendary member soon, you seem pretty lost in every thread on this forum, but if that's any consolation, you're not the only one.

Just watch out because doctors are only people too. I had Lyme disease from a tick bite and the "doctor" could not tell apart fungal disease from Erythema Migrans. Idiot gave me an ointment instead of antibiotics. I mean it took me all of 2 minutes to google "bulls-eye pattern rash". But he only rolled his eyes at my more-than-obvious self-diagnosis.

Always get a second/third opinion of another doctor. If statistics can be believed, 1 out of 10 doctor visits end up with a misdiagnosis or a false treatment.

Very annoying doctor, isn't it!!!!
The doctor who treats you is sleep deprived or more clearly he is incompetent for the disease you are suffering from. Yes, that's how most (incompetent) doctors are and even worse, there are cases of illness that require surgery, but unfortunately the scissors stay in the stomach and are only noticed after years, but I can't remember exactly where that happened.

Try offering bitcoin, but don't give it for free, because that will make them wrong again, who knows they are more competent in handling cases by case, if they already have bitcoin and have seen ATH in the next year. Who knows???

If you only knew what the future holds

Like a lightning bolt, your heart will glow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you

'Cause baby, you're a Bitcoiner!!!

Sad day: Localbitcoins.com is no more.  

Btc going down again, localbitcoins shut down and I am still not legendary it looks like it is a unlucky day for us all. I wonder who will replace localbitcoins I hope Binance does not they already have a monopoly on the exchange market. I hope we get a new service created by someone here who is trustworthy and tries to stop these giants of exchanges taking all the money and charging expensive fees for their 'service'

I wonder how much the news of localbitcoins will affect the price? Do we expect this to have a big impact or does it not have enough  user base in 2023? I know many years ago it was the place to trade btc and was the most popular at 1 time.

Yes.. you already meet the legend requirements, it is almost inevitable that you will get it in the next activity adjustment (which is in 10 days) since I think that once you go over activity of 1030 then it is inevitable.. unless I am missing something?  There is a bit of randomness of ranking up to legendary between activity levels of 775 and 1030, so maybe if you exceed 1030 posts, your activity might go above 1030 and then you would get it based on the mere fact of going above 1030?^**

**Note:  Apparently by the time, I posted this, your avatar was upgraded to Legendary.. I think that your activity level had to go up to whatever random amount the forum algorithm had already chosen for you.

Regarding Local Bitcoin's it was increasingly starting to decline in 2018 or so when they were forced to increase the level of their KYC - and they had all kinds of customers before 2018 because their service both allowed internal transactions within the system, but also allowed for in-person cash transactions that would then allow for members to arrange their own meeting up directly... and in 2019 they discontinued the ability to conduct cash transactions in the USA.. and perhaps they discontinued cash transactions in some other jurisdictions, too. so their business model had been under increasingly heavy attack since 2018, and I am pretty sure they were forced into such a position that made it nearly impossible for them to operate in the ways that they had been such a central player between about 2012 and 2019.  

People who have had preferences to transact BTC in person have had to find other ways to connect with each other - even though LocalBitcoin's was a great way of accomplishing such abilities for strangers to meet up and to set up trust and to set up terms of the transaction prior towards deciding to meet - even though the whole LocalBitcoin's system ended up having to cave in to regulatory pressures.. and perhaps lawsuits or prosecutions would be coming next to even threaten them more.. .. just like some exchanges are not going to want to operate when they are paying $millions in fines (maybe Kraken feels like that now, even though their situation is so far not so much about bitcoin, so there are questions about whether regulators might be wanting to come at bitcoin too?)... and maybe even face more harsh sanctions that are purported to be "protecting the public," which we know is not the complete motivations of government entities that are seeming to worry about how bitcoin is empowering folks to be more and more financially sovereign, and we (various status quo financial/governmental institutions) wouldn't want that.

You know, I am glad that centralized staking services on exchanges are getting bent over by the government. It was only a matter of time anyway. You cannot centralized something which is meant to be decentralized.

But what is the SEC going to do about DeFI? Kick and scream and achieve nothing?  Because there is nothing they can do.

I'm not glad at all, as it simply demonstrates the governments have become big bloated piece of crap balloons that need to be popped before they consume all of us and you need regulations for everything you can possibly do, every second of every single fucking day.

The whole point BTC was invented discovered is to circumvent these scamming big government cunts.

FTFY...

yeah.... I could have done this or that for you...  


I didn't want to post a non-English article which most people don't understand

I expected anyone interested could google the topic in 2s ...  

Now that I have done it for you, you are still complaining why you weren't spoonfed earlier

ChatGPT?

https://journals.plos.org/digitalhealth/article?id=10.1371/journal.pdig.0000198

We evaluated the performance of a large language model called ChatGPT on the United States Medical Licensing Exam (USMLE), which consists of three exams: Step 1, Step 2CK, and Step 3. ChatGPT performed at or near the passing threshold for all three exams without any specialized training or reinforcement. Additionally, ChatGPT demonstrated a high level of concordance and insight in its explanations. These results suggest that large language models may have the potential to assist with medical education, and potentially, clinical decision-making.
