He was not wearing a mask, and I was not wearing a mask either (I forgot to take it with me, and didn't say anything, out of politeness)... He coughed a few times while in the car with me. I'm vaccinated.

Masks don’t work dude, unless it’s a P100. Why on Earth you would want to use one, is another story.

I'm as anti vax as they come, not just anti COVID vax but anti all vaccines as they have harmful chemicals and you can't sue the company if you are injured by it.

But I think there is some protection provided by masks. Any type of mask, even my cloth mask with purposefully large holes in it so I can breath.

People spit when they talk, they may not notice but when I started paying more attention to it due to COVID I noticed, even seeing a tiny bit fly from my mouth into someone else's when he said something funny. If that's not a surefire way to transfer a virus I don't know what is.

Sure they don't stop your breath and the holes are too big to stop a virus but just to prevent spitting on someone is decent. Though that doesn't mean you need it while out jogging as they do here in Panama. If you're talking face to face with someone it makes sense to have one.

Though I still don't wear one when I don't need to. Though I had COVID and am immune so I won't be spreading it.

I agree on the mask comments. Anything you put in front of your mouth helps. Even the palm of your hand. It's no coincidence that most of us have a habit of covering our mouth when we cough. We learned this from our parents, and it helps. The thing is, when we speak (much more when we cough), tiny droplets come out of our mouth, like little projectiles. Putting even a piece of cloth in front of our mouth will slow them down, to the point of not reaching very far, thus lowering the chance of infecting the other person. It's like putting your hand or a piece of cloth in front of a water hose. Water will still come out, but won't reach very far.

Also, it's a myth that mask mesh should be finer than the size of the virus. Even a coarser mask mesh can contain the virus, because it tends to stick to the threads of the mesh (even more so, if it's multi-layered), thus not easily reaching the other side, if at all.

As for vax vs. antivax, I think we're all on the same side, it's wrong to fight each other as if one is the enemy of the other. We're all trying to fight this as best we can, some trust the vaccines, others don't. But fighting each other is bad for both, and may even benefit the real enemies in all this.

There are probably many young people out there in crypto-land (and perhaps not so young) struggling with feelings of 'I don't deserve this' and 'I just got lucky'

The stuff critics say serves to motivate us, but sadly humans tend to absorb the negatives more than the positives and keep hold of them.

So here are some reasons, assuming you didn't lie/scam/cheat/rob anyone, why you *do* deserve your success in crypto, now and going forward

I feel quite the opposite for a few reasons, the lesser reasons being how many people I tried telling about Bitcoin even previous to 2017, how many I told to check out this forum, how many I told that they could suck their GPUs on crypto and make a bit of crypto change (that would now be worth massive amounts)..

And mainly because I did not come upon my crypto by having the privilege of having disposable income to simply buy in with, rather I worked my ass off to stack sats, easily a thousand hours, in multiple ways to gain a few satoshis here and there, from spending many many full days on exchanges watching for trading opportunities, watching multiple exchanges for arbitrage opportunities, watching new coins coming on the market, watching for volume hits preceding pumps, being in with what communities were interested in (or shilling)/where the sentiment was..

I worked my ass off for what meager amount I have been able to accumulate, had the balls to HODL almost everything I have ever been able to accumulate, have been able to resist temptation to sell to buy a house or an expensive car or fancy luxuries I am accustomed to living without, still to this day..

I have absolutely zero sense of “I don’t deserve this”..

Even things I have got “lucky” on weren’t scammy and I feel good about them..

In fact, the more people there are that believe the S2F model definitely will happen, the more that whale traders will have an incentive to NOT make it happen and do the opposite, fucking over both leveraged longs and shorts, and trying to shake out more weak-handed hodlers.



So surely the $million question remains whether bitcoin will still end up springing back to something like the S2F model in spite of strenuous efforts (and a lot of resources) striving to invalidate the S2F model.  I am surely all in agreement with you in terms of identifying that there are some likely high stakes traditional manipulators that feel that they have quite a bit to lose based on bitcoin success and ongoing success so they are willing to NOT pull any punches when dealing with bitcoin manipulation and to throw a lot of resources at such "problems," yet in spite of such spent efforts, what's going to happen?  Will bitcoin revert to something like S2F .. or perhaps S@F gets shifted downwardly on its curve projections a wee bit, but still does not invalidate S2F - beyond appearing that it is invalidated in the short term or even for one or two 4-year cycles and then at some point when we look back at the whole matter instead of doing something like what S2F had projected, we end up having a 1/3 performance level that resembles S2F, but really does not invalidate it beyond the need to shift the price projection curve downward by the necessary amount.

The S2F model is an interesting theoretical model based on looking at past data and projecting the future. But at the end of the day, that's all it is: a projection model. It could end up correct, or it could end up broken at some point.

The problem I'm having is all these noob acolytes treating it like a self-fullfilling prophecy, and a religion. They buy a small piece of bitcoin and sit on it, waiting for their delayed lottery ticket to strike a winner X months down the road, all because some chart has "promised" them that a certain price will come true by a certain date. Like that is a 100% certainty.

What happens when things don't turn out like they were lead to believe? Will they all lose their shit, sell at a loss and become nocoiners again?

We all know that eventually the bitcoin price will rise to new ATHs. It's not a matter of if, but when. Because ongoing money printer go brrr and massive inflation is here to stay. That should be the guide that most investors follow, not some chart projection. It's a long term, lifetime investment.

First question: Does the government want the radio to be able to handle all of the comms Iraq war?

If we go against their expectations we don't get the next follow on contract for the general's buddy's radio the government, it will lie to Congress and go to war in Iraq anyway.

You’ll be fine, as long as you don’t social distance. Let evolution take care of you.

I have never had any kind of test so far. I can’t even. I’ve worn a mask on a couple of occasions, but mostly retain to asking other people to take them off.
Now it gets very interesting with the passports, as this “divide and conquer” strategy goes into effect.

Almost smashed a guys face the other day. He was so full of it, that I had to react. He thought he was doing his job, telling me that two outdoor tables side by side are not the same, and that I needed a passport and ID to sit in one of them, whilst not in the other. Of course I decided to fuck right off, and go elsewhere. Surprise surprise! Indoor, outdoor - it did not matter - because the later bar owner had a strong political tooth.
For now.

Weeeeeee. Grin



BTC nicely consolidating in the local lows, before it erupts towards October new highs.
Can’t wait to wake up to a $10k green dildo. Go BTC, go!

As to the second part, I have already mentioned that nobody is going to force you to take the third (fourth, fifth etc) shot. In fact, many governments and doctors point out that it will be optional for peeps with weakened immune system. ...  Have you heard of anyone in any country of the world receiving a mandatory appointment for the 1st, 2nd or 3rd shot? Besides, pandemic will come to an end soon so it will not be necessary anyway.

... Israel has changed the vaccine passport "fully vaccinated" status to only those people with 3 shots, only the boosted are now allowed "fully vaccinated" freedoms.

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/.premium-as-serious-covid-cases-hit-september-peak-bennett-sticks-to-his-guns-on-green-pass-1.10217937

... this is clearly coming to the West, as Israel has led the way on vaccination programs so far by about 5-6 months, and you're an idiot if you cannot see that it is coming, Canada has ordered booster shots for it's whole population until 2024 (if you actually read the article).

... that light you think is the end of the pandemic tunnel is the booster train coming towards you ... have fun being with the compliant majority on the booster train for the rest of your life you smug shite  Grin Grin


Israel largely single-sourced (and over-payed for) vaccines for their population and completely missed the heart issues 'signal' which is now afflicting 'the nations'.  There are recently a lot of 'we are sick too!' things coming out.  As usual, it is advisable to take EVERYTHING one comes across in cyber-space with a grain of salt, and apply a series of logical filters to it.

-edit-  THERE.. my channels to you are zero fees.  Fill back up your Wumbo channel some with them... I think you can?

I appreciate that, but don't worry about it for a rebalance.

I didn't stop to consider that channel liquidity would get locked up in other channels, after redistributing the wumbo (~0.17 BTC) liquidity with LOOP.

TBH, the only reason I established a wumbo channel with LOOP directly is to see what would happen, and, well, I guess I've now discovered what happens to all that liquidity - it just gets spread around to other channels that needed it.

Might throw another coin onto it, but don't have a burning desire to expand out any further at the moment. Top 500 is good enough for me; just fucking around.

I'll sleep on adding more coin or not in the morning...

EDIT: Might experiment with a couple wumbo channels with LOOP, set some retarded fees that would be extremely lucrative for me, and will see what happens.
EDIT2: ... in which case, might want to add my node to the exclusion list when submitting loop in/outs so as to avoid my high fees?


Hopefully, all will be fine and I'll still be alive ...

I don't want to split off too much into COVID-19 politics - It's funny how polarized I was prior to being infected, and now having undergone the experience and gained natural antibodies, I'm way more zen about things, and almost feel a sense of sincere fear for vaccinated folk.

Not anything silly like "Oh, they are gon' shed some shit to me, or dey gon tink ima kill them with muh natural antibodies", but more specifically with Antibody-Depedent Enhancement ( https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/vaccine-safety/antibody-dependent-enhancement-and-vaccines )

I'm genuinely concerned that "vaccinated" folk may apparently be at higher risk for contracting mutations due to the trojan-horse effect. I hope this isn't the case, as many friends I know are immunized, and I wish them no ill will, and pray they do not suffer any ill side-effects.

I am highly against people under the age of 21 being vaccinated, if I could wax political for a moment...
