I'm all for this.

Future cars could ditch touchscreens and bring back buttons – all in the name of safety
https://www.techradar.com/vehicle-tech/hybrid-electric-vehicles/future-cars-could-ditch-touchscreen-and-go-back-to-physical-buttons-all-in-the-name-of-safety

Bye bye no stalk Tesla.

Bunch of dumb asses and those convinced "it doesn't matter, it's just as safe".  Roll Eyes
A touchscreen for some media stuff and gps is fine, but I can never understand why it became so widely accepted to literally remove every button in the car and add it on the screen.. A bunch of morons, lol. I welcome a buttons & knobs comeback!

Very interesting article and interesting comments:

"If it was non electric car she could have simply and literally rolled down the windows."
-"Roll down the windows ?  What are you driving a 1972 Chevy Corvair"

What happens in a submerged Cyber Truck?
The windows are supposed to be bullet proof, right?

Yeah.. how many of us maintain a glass breaking hammer in our car so that we can escape in an emergency like that?  

They say, even with mechanical doors, you cannot open them with all of the pressure from the water.. I suppose by the time that you are completely submerged and then you can hold your breath long enough, then the water will equalize in such a way to be the same pressure inside and outside the car.  Then you can just leisurely open the door and then swim to safety... Drowning in a car surely seems like a grueling way to leave this world.

I don't understand how she could have drowned in a pool? Did the doors not work or was she asleep when it sank? What if it was a murder that was made to look like an accident?

Cheesy lol  It's apparently a pond, but it looks like an embankment before getting there. My robot would have never made it to the pond due to its more advanced than Tesla sensors. Tongue

Although, you might be onto something... the vacuum could have erroneously led the Tesla sensors to the embankment (cat and mouse sorta thing). I could see a billionaire putting a vacuum out on the driveway to keep the driveway pretty... and the motive?  The Tesla tracks dirt in all the time, vacuum got pissed, woman == collateral damage.

Luckily my driver is totally not interested in ponds.  Cool

Although we do seem to drive after squirrels a lot.

I told him the other day "You know one of these days we're going to end up crashing into a tree."

He just looked at me and barked.

$10 trillion seems to be part of the base case for this cycle.. .. and yeah it will make a lot of us excited, but it would be far from outrageous to make it to that level in this cycle.

My thoughts exactly bro. This is such a tragic “stars aligned” occurrence.
My heart goes out to her and her family. I hope she didn’t suffer too long, though the fact she had time to make a call for help only makes this story that much more distressing.
And whoever comments “god works in strange ways” or some facsimile thereof, deserves to be punched in the face.

For one, this thread is about bitcoin and not shitcoins, and secondly, DCA does not work with shitcoins because they are not long term investments that have any fundamental and/or long term value.

DCA tends to apply quite well for bitcoin and/or long term investments bacuase it allows you to build your position over many years 4-10 years or longer.

Shit coins are equivalent to gambling and gambling is for losers. One can invest few bucks in shitcoins for fun but real focus and most of your capital should be going to Bitcoin alone.
One thing to note about DCA is that it's not for people with low patience as it takes years to build a profitable portfolio with DCA. So anyone coming to DCA should keep in mind that it will takes years not months.     

Of course, if you are still in your accumulation stage, you can supplement your accumulation with buying on dips and also lump sum investing, and so only you can figure out which accumulation methods to apply and when you might consider yourself to no longer be in accumulation stage... and yeah, a lot of newbies might have chances to build their investment into bitcoin over 4-10 years or longer, and they likely end up selling too much too soon and then likely putting themselves into a worse place than if they had just focused on accumulating through the varying buying techniques rather than selling, trading and/or gambling with their investment.. in such a great and powerful (and option providing) asset, such as bitcoin.

We can relate with this with current bull run where people are selling too early. It's not a success that you buy at 60k and sell on 70k since this will give you only a limited profit. One must have a plan where he must gather bitcoins before he start thinking to sell some of his holdings. How many Bitcoins are sufficent is a subjective question. So some people 100 Bitcoins are low while for many getting even 1 bitcoin is difficult.

.....One must have a plan where he must gather bitcoins before he start thinking to sell some of his holdings. How many Bitcoins are sufficent is a subjective question. So some people 100 Bitcoins are low while for many getting even 1 bitcoin is difficult.

I would suggest that how many BTC is not completely subjective  - even though it is based on the setting of subjective goals... So if someone might tell you what his goals are, then you would likely be able to determine a quantity of BTC that would likely satisfy the goal.

So for example, if a guy tells you that in 10 years, he would like to be able to have a monthly income of $5k without having to do any work - beyond just keeping track of his various accounts...   Then at that point you have some ideas of an approximate number of coins that the guy might need to work towards getting, and I would say that if he works towards getting close to 5 BTC for the middle of 2034, then that would likely be more than enough to meet his goals... and perhaps even 3-4 BTC might be enough... yet we cannot really know, so then he should work towards getting to 5 BTC within the next 10 years.. which may or may not be doable for all people, and if it is not doable.

Then if he changes his goal to the same kind of idea of cashflow, but with a back up target for 15 years, then I would suggest that by mid-2039, then he is likely ONLY going to need around 2.5 BTC by mid-2039 in order to reach that same objective of having a monthly income of right around $5k.. so then he has something that he believes that he might be able to reach, and if he speculates that inflation might eat away the targets, then surely maybe he could try to shoot for more BTC and to have some cushion in his goals, and so we can largely ONLY attempt to give some directional guidelines that might need to be adjusted with the passage of time...yet I would still suggest that aggressive accumulation of bitcoin should be part of the formula, and the details can be tweaked at various points along the way.

Shit coins are equivalent to gambling and gambling is for losers. One can invest few bucks in shitcoins for fun but real focus and most of your capital should be going to Bitcoin alone. 1 bitcoin is difficult.
Investing in bitcoin is also gambling.

That sounds like a statement from someone who does not understand bitcoin and/or mixes up bitcoin with shitcoins as if they were the same thing when they are not.  Do you know what is bitcoin?

In other words, Bitcoin is not a shitcoin.

Let me put it like this.  There are quite a few reasonable, sober and prudent ways to invest into bitcoin without devolving into gambling, which relates to both position size and even how to employ the various means of accumulating bitcoin through mostly buying techniques, not selling to buy more or trading or using leverage or using other complicated financial instruments in the way to build your bitcoin stash, and such techniques would presumably be within the disposable/discretionary income of the person getting involved in bitcoin.

If you are using up too much of your disposable/discretionary income and/or you do not manage your money properly, such as your emergency fund and/or your reserves and your float, then you would be devolving your bitcoin into a gamble rather than an investment.. and the same thing has to do with selling BTC as a strategy to accumulate more BTC (aka trading), employing those kinds of strategies and the employment of leverage and financial instruments would also be gambling.. so there are a lot of ways to invest into bitcoin rather than gamble with bitcoin.. especially again, since many of us should likely realize (including you VOD) that bitcoin and shitcoins are not the same things, so it is quite dangerous to mix them up in terms of how your frame (and conceptualize matters) and the kinds of strategies that you put into practice.

So close to a new ATH.

We touched $73679 again but didn't pass it.

Soon.

Shit coins are equivalent to gambling and gambling is for losers. One can invest few bucks in shitcoins for fun but real focus and most of your capital should be going to Bitcoin alone. 1 bitcoin is difficult.

Investing in bitcoin is also gambling.

Getting out of bed is gambling.
