Endorsed drugs today include caffeine and sugar (to keep you energized and productive at work), nicotine (to help you cope with the stress-levels induced by being high on sugar and caffeine all the time) and alcohol (to help you release the pent up tension from work and help you forget how shitty your life is). Banned drugs include Cocaine (more profitable to traffic it when it's illegal), Marijuana (which threatens a lot of established cartels in pharmacology and medicine. It also makes you less likely to work very hard, especially when also realizing that the work is not worth doing) and hallucinogens like LSD, mushrooms etc. (which dissolve ordinary social conditioning and support values antagonistic to the establishment).

Hey man, this is a pretty good wrapup!

As said, just parroting St. Terence McKenna. Still worth repeating though, as this point of view gets overlooked too commonly.

I love how McKenna keeps popping up in this thread.

I think society would be better off legalizing the other drugs, too. Alcohol is one of the most harmful drugs to society in general and there's a widespread dependence problems due to social acceptance / norms. There's nothing to say against responsible use (as with any other drug), but once things escalate, alcohol can produce quite ugly situations.

Sorry to go off on a tangent... volume is picking up a little as Europe wakes up and starts populating the trading stations.

I approve of this tangent. I am pretty much convinced that the choice of a society about which drugs to ban and which drugs to openly endorse gives away its intentions very well. Also the drugs the society uses are directly correlated to the value-systems of said society. Not sure if as a cause, or an effect, though.

A pretty good book about human history in terms of which culture has been using which drugs and what it meant for that culture is "Food of the Gods" by Terence McKenna. Recommended!

"when in doubt, double the dose" -Terence McKenna =D But seriously there's some truth in this.

wtf are you people wait for? Xmas!?, fuck this I'm emptying my bank account tonight.

I almost did this back in 2011 when I was drunk. Why, oh why, didn't I.

For highly analytical people like me, we make some of the best decisions when drunk.

Do you have an explanation for this?

Yeah, it stops second-guessing, lets you go with your gut, keeps you from getting bogged down in the details and missing the forest for the trees. It's a corrective for over-analysis, so it only works if you're actually prone to over-analysis. (The right amount of alcohol. Too much is eventually worse, of course.)

I noticed this too.

+1111111111 couldn't agree more.

Also....bid depth looking healthy!

So, now we know why bitcoin rates move all over the place: you're all drunk when trading!

It sounds like someone that says you should be a little drunk when you drive so your driving is more relaxed.



The decision to get drunk can be made whilst sober.....as with any drug. If you are aware of the benefits of the drug, then you are a very clever manipulator of your own consciousness.

Seems a lot of people like to over-analyze why they like to get drunk...luckily I come from a country where we don't need a reason, just an occasion  Grin

Yeah, it seems bears should get some ammunition so they can actually put their money where their yaws are. It seems it's only roaring nowadays.

Don't coins automatically get dumped at the end of the month by bitfinex or something?

Just that two trends are meeting right now and there should be some action by the next candle - either a breakout or breakdown.

I agree. Although I think the breakout up or down will not be huge.  I actually expect that it might go south, simply because so many people expect it to go up but there are still many many coins to dump. Especially with the approaching holidays.

But news has been bullish so that might take us north. Although today had a lot of bullish news and we didnt move far.

I don't know if this means anything to you, but Localbitcoins selling offers in Europe are worse and illiquid than ever.

I guess that is a clear bullish sign. I won't be surprised if price keeps rising with strength.
