Will you be accepting guests this winter?
I'm landing in Frankfurt in the second week of January for a three-month stay in Europe, likely visiting Estonia.

But what about bitcoin price??

But what about bitcoin price??

After $1000, $3000 is around the corner, unless we have a secular double top at the previous ATH (historically about 2 weeks' affair to bust it though).

I'd buy more in anticipation and keep a tight stop loss. But I don't trade.

For holders, HODL!!!!11

Thanks for your assessment. It seems you're somewhat less involved currently in Bitcoin price action than most on this forum, so your calm view from further away is certainly valuable.

I am just repeating myself from March-2013 with one more zero...

Hey wait a moment it was 4 YEARS ago!!!!

Are you sure? Time distortion can do amazing things for market timing decisions.

How do you determine when a "parabolic" rise becomes unsustainable. Is there a rule of thumb, such as, "if doubling time drops to one week, then sell"?

when the doubling time is equal to (or shorter than) the average time it takes to move funds on/off exchanges then, by necessity, the exponential phase of the rise is over.

that makes sense... so when selling pressure approaches the max rate at which fiat can move to exchanges, the rise will appear to have exhausted itself and a correction or crash will ensue...

Risto (and the rest o' ya), I wish you a wonderful Holiday, may Hope and Love be with us all in these unusual and precarious times.

I am happy to be here among you all to observe this year to come: 2017.  It WILL be an "interesting" year no doubt.

We watch together, yes?

[wpalczynski]

You guys eating shrooms daily over there at Malla?  Sounds like quite the trip.

Anyway, Merry Christmas!!  Nice present from Bitcoin for all of us this year.

In Bitcoin I'd say: if it doubles within a day, danger!

[NeuroticFish]

Merry Christmas, Risto; Merry Christmas to all of you!
Be good, be nice!

[serje]

Merry Christmas Sir Risto!

And a happy new year and hopefully 2017 will make our paths cross again!

[TrueCryptonaire]

Happy new year everyone!  

The new year will bring great changes to my life once again. Just as the last one did, as well as 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009, 2008.

I used to have a happy marriage, before 2008. It ended about 2 months ago, my ex-wife just could not cope with the "great changes" that year after year, drove us more and more apart. We are now in contact and I got to see my kids for a moment also in Tallinn.

Otherwise: my life is more interesting than blogging about it at the moment There has not been new instances of paranormal activity nor Nato gaslighting. Life is perfect every day and will write more when the page changes, should be soon but it's already longer than I thought  

Obviously you have ended up to the conclusion that it is better to live in your own bubble than in the convenient society?
Obviously you are free to do whatever you want but if I was you I would seek atonoment between you and your wife.
In my opinion, it is better to be happily married than being right in everything - like the case of a good car salesman: despite he is right in something, he has higher incentive to sell a car than argue on small things with the customer. My advice is: just let your wife live in the old paradigm if she wants to do it - you can still love her as a person, as an individual despite you do not agree on all the technical stuff (such as if you are gaslighted or not etc). Also, MD's are pretty smart in Finland - Medical school is among the hardest to get into so no stupid people graduate from there in Finland, therefore you can pretty much trust in the MD's in Finland. If they say something, they probably know it better than the patient based on scientific knowledge.



Is it a good price to pay to lose family and wife because of some crazy idea that comes into your creative mind?
Just accept your wife as she is and love her as she is.   Tell her how beautiful she is and that you miss her and love her. In that way you can win her heart.   Do it every day until the end of your life. Leaving a partner is not a good solution in my opinion.

I remember the scene when nash couldnt quantify his feelings towards his then gf later wife in beautiful mind.. when love is involved better to cherish what you have otherwise you wont know what you lose until its gone.

What do the others think?

Always leave room for reconciliation. Never say never.

Sad story, I hope you are happy, Risto.
I guess it is happiness that everybody is looking for in the world and different people discover happiness in different places.

To me personally marriage is the most important thing in life and I have compromised in many things to pursue marital happiness. And I have even been in family counselling 16 sessions to improve the communication and communication skills.
That being said, there are still many issues we do not think in the same way but still we are able to come along okay. I do not honestly think you will find some other woman better - everybody of us have our issues and struggles in life.

In my opinion, you do not need to deny yourself to life with a woman you disagree irrelevant topics such as if there is some kind of conspiracy of banks or not etc. Those issues have very little to do with my happiness. Those things can be discussed with the right circle who consists of like-minded people but in my opinion your wife doesn't need to agree on this with you but you still can love each other. Just do not criticize her if she wants to life in the society where the majority of people lives but use gentle words to her - never criticize, not even a hint of criticism just praise her for cooking meals, taking care of children, getting a promotion in the workplace, being beautiful etc whatever is suitable.  It might require some work in your personality sometimes (as you may not feel genuinely - the feelings will wake up later when you practice).
In the Bible even G-d did not tell the whole truth to Abraham in order to maintain shalom bayit. You can find it from the story of Abraham and Sarah. Sarah complained to G-d about not having a baby. She said I am so old and also my husband is so old. Then G-d asks Abraham why Sarah complains SHE is so old. There you can see G-d did not tell to Abraham the fact that Sarah complained the old age of Abraham as well. As far as I know this is the only place G-d told a white lie. It tells us for the sake of shalom bayit it is even allowed to tell such lie. A good practical example is: Your wife bakes buns but instead of putting sugar she puts salt, you just praise her how well she baked and how delicious it is.  I know, easier said than done.
