...grammatical proficiency is diminishing at an inverse proportion to my age. 

It's not your age. It's the age we live in.

Grammatical proficiency?

Some people can't even grasp the simple concept of singular versus plural when it comes to pronouns.

A am glad that we passed the debt ceiling in US, but every rational person should ask themselves: where is it all going?
The debt number is going vertical and we are now paying something above $700 bil/yearly in interest in US alone.
My children are bitter that they cannot afford to buy a house and I don't want to "spoil" them by doling cash for that (they could inherit later on, of course).
Quite a dilemma.

However, I don't have a feeling that we are early, maybe because I went through all these bitcoin up and down gyrations in the last 10 years and have some regrets of not being a nimble trader during those years. Similarly, I did not feel that AAPL, AMZN and GOOG were "early" in 2011, but they went up 15X (AAPL), 12x (AMZN), 8X (GOOG) since then and this is, perhaps, instructive.

Time will show if we are, indeed, early, but a gigantic 'plateau' for decades at some point is also possible (with ever diminishing "pulse" from the successive halvings), even though most don't expect it.

I'm sorry, I just had to laugh at this pic and sorry for quoting it and taking up space.  That clock-staring cat could have been me over the years.  I don't know how many times I've posted "bitcoin will take 25 years to get to $X, and if it does we'll probably be in a zombie apocalypse".  And then way, waaaay before I knew it bitcoin would surge past $X and then higher and higher to new dollar amounts that I'd never have predicted.

Thinking back on what could have been makes my skin crawl.

What the hell is this thread about?  I only stumbled upon it doing post reviews.  Lol.

This is the heart of Bitcointalk. We come here to shitpost while hodling our coins. It helps (as a distraction). Welcome!

Damn it. Something's happening in WO... Too quiet. No heated debates, no rusty pipes, no Batslaps, no Dude's resto/pissing pics, no proudhon posts, r0ach probably died or abandoned us, nullius fell in love with a Greek goddess and won't post anymore, Elwar's seastead sank and he abandoned ship... Hell, not even a post about Bob's ranch or Jimbo's lake projects. Have we really stooped so low?

Price drives everything it seems... Come on, Bitcoin, do something (like a mega-pump to ATH+)... We need some Carolinas and Choo-Choos to get things going!

Edit: No more lasers for me. Laser hat gets worn again when we reach 6 digits.

Its reported JayjuanGee keyboard its broken, so he cant make his walltext.

Only important "new" on this day was the Tether project to build a bitcoin mining farm on Uruguay with renewables energy.

Note of that

He has evolved beyond the need for keyboard input. Do not underestimate him.

Also, in regards to important news, Binance is being bent over by the SEC. This would explain the panic dump of 5%. Or as I like to call it, the fire sale.

Binance is already being sued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission as well.

That's GREAT! So why is Bitcoin dropping? Binance is the opposite of what Bitcoin needs.

[Biodom]

Interesting...SEC came up with a 'dirty dozen' list of "securities":

BNB, BUSD, SOL, ADA, MATIC, FIL, ATOM, SAND, MANA, ALGO, AXS, COTI (see page 85 of the doc).

Interesting omissions include XRP and ETH.
Make your own conclusions from this.

They don't want to use all their FUD up at once.
Saving that shit for another day I'm sure.
I swear this bear market is one of the most tedious so far and I have been through a few I can tell you.

I've been waiting for Binance to be targeted as soon as the FTX situation blew up and regulators realized that Binance did the exact same thing as FTX, but they were able to survive a cycle doing so and became insanely wealthy as a result.  Looks like now that regulators have caught on, they are going to be looking to take a piece of flesh from CZ.  This is in no way a positive development for Bitcoin in the short term, and we're already seeing the start of the pain, but long term I think if we want to see Bitcoin hit the high 6 figures, it is absolutely necessary to weed out the bad actors in the space, and Binance is just FTX with a first mover advantage.

So much for the weekend dip

Who is a good actor among exchanges?
Some say that they are, but they got NO volume, like Gemini.
Congress needs to pass some laws pronto or, else, american exchanges can be shut down and US would lose whatever they did not lose yet (in this space).

This time Binance is in trouble and the regulators will try their best to make it pay for the earnings. They have finally found the fact that Mr.CZ is getting richer everyday because of the exchange and that's why all of them are against that guy. I think the Binance isn't working the same way as FTX, and it's currently useful for the growth of Bitcoin, and if the government or the regulators stop the operations of Binance then I'm sure that many people will give up on Crypto-currencies.
