Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[Findingnemo]

Even you, Findingnemo, are getting into OG status with nearly two cycles under your belt, and it seems to me that the first cycle is the most difficult, yet it still frequently will take a couple of cycles for guys to really start to get to a point of having enough or more than enough bitcoin, unless they were able to front load their bitcoin investment at some point in their first cycle.

I might be able to relate to you, since I came to bitcoin (got started in bitcoin)  about 1 cycle before you, and I also came to bitcoin at or near the top of the cycle... Mine entry into bitcoin was November 2013 - even though my forum registration was February 2014.

I did the terrible mistake that one can make, I was supposed to enter the market in 2014 itself around the same time period you entered but I wasn't so sure about bitcoin because I had no idea what it is and people who told me about bitcoin isn't that much clear about what it is, they just created an image like bitcoin is investment which is one of the reason I had my doubts and went huge on other path that end up terrible again my huge capital went down not just to zero but to negative that is where I lost a cycle or else I would have been sitting with a bigger stash.

But, hey... Better late than never...

So my first cycle isn't very shaky, I knew what I missed and I swore that I am not gonna make the same mistake.

And finally, JJG claiming me to be OG and becoming legendary on the same day should be some kind of sign for all in...before the UPtober.

EDIT2:
Just tried to stalk myself (my bitcointalk nickname) through chatGPT, in some more advanced and intensive ways, and i pretty much failed gaining any useful, OpSec relevant information. Of couse, i was (more or less) careful, having a historic background as a former internet hacker. (Did i already mention that i miss the sound of 56k modems, but i still dream about them sometimes?)
This was also due to the fact that Theymos seemed to have protected the forum against intensive parsing via bots and engines.
Good work!

EDIT3: re-edited this post a couple of times, as usual 

You're not the only one, that sound has remained something that's hard to get rid of, and I think I hear it sometimes. Moreover, I decided to keep my modem, and your post reminded me to check if it's still where I put it.

That sounds fun to use as a ringtone.

End of the month.

Almost weekend.

Low volume, bearish sentiment.

Stocks/gold up.

Perfect condition for a massive red candle.

Thanks.

I'm a big fan of personalized ringtones! Stealing the idea after OutOfMemory

No need to, it's all there:

Real 56k Dialup Modem Sound
-> https://archive.org/details/real-56k-dialup-modem-sound

ALL Old Modem Sounds (300 baud to 56K)
-> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckc6XSSh52w
^ Audio from the yt mp4 can easily be extracted with ffmpeg once downloaded as mp4 with yt-dlp:

Code:

yt-dlp -f 234 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckc6XSSh52w
ffmpeg -i ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp4 ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp3
#or with better quality:
ffmpeg -i ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp4 -vn -ar 44100 -ac 2 -ab 192k -f mp3 ALL\ Old\ Modem\ Sounds\ \(300\ baud\ to\ 56K\)\ \[ckc6XSSh52w\].mp3

Edited to add: I personally still prefer J.S. Bachs 'Toccata and Fugue in D minor' as ringtone, things need some dramatic spice up at times

Actually, searching for "modem sound" already gave me some nicely trimmed audio files, mp3 or wav format. They just need some cutting up and selective boosting to make a few good ringtones.

 How fuck@#$ weird is this?  I didn't even know about yt-dlp until just two days ago when I read an article in HackerNews informing people that they could no longer rely on the native JavaScript... ah, rather than paraphrasing, here's the quote:

Up until now, yt-dlp has been able to use its built-in JavaScript "interpreter" to solve the JavaScript challenges that are required for YouTube downloads. But due to recent changes on YouTube's end, the built-in JS interpreter will soon be insufficient for this purpose. The changes are so drastic that yt-dlp will need to leverage a proper JavaScript runtime in order to solve the JS challenges.

 Anyway, I was surprised to see it mentioned here so soon after first learning about it.  For the most part, I have been using web-based downloaders - nice to know there are other options.

The headline isn't accurate. It's just one politician asking this, I wouldn't call that "considering". The part about inflation is laughable: inflation is created on ECB on purpose, and politicians (and even the ECB itself) act as if it's a force of nature or even "a ghost".
