I hear some people are looking to go back to the moon Grin Grin Grin
I read hundreds if not thousands of posts about that around 1990 in the old sci.space forum. People were confident that in a couple of years one could launch and assemble a self-sufficient Moon base, distilling oxygen from rocks with solar power and mining helium-3 for export, if only the politicians saw the light.

But those plans were technically unfeasible at the time, of course. How could one go to the Moon without Bitcoin? Grin

You do know the motivation for going to the moon don't you?


So... No moon without commies?

Yes, the US was scared shitless when Sputnik was launched.  Any science was an after thought mostly done on the later missions.

The correct action then, is not to short BTC (which continues its inexorable exponential rise) but to short mankind, which apparently peaked around 1969.


LOL on shorting mankind. What happened in 1969?

I think '71 was the year Nixon severed the dollar from silver once and for all.

From gold.  Silver certificates could no longer be redeemed for metal after 24 June 1968.

IIRC we made it to the moon in July of '69.  Also, I think the U.S. median standard of living peaked about that time.  

MLK Jr. was assassinated in 1968, Nixon elected, Timothy Leary arrested. Elvis went to Las Vegas.  AIDS came to the U.S.  Overall the end of the '60s was a very unfortunate turning point.
But the deathknell for mankind was undoubtedly captured on videotape, thusly:  What's New Pussycat?

The following is a better example of Tom from 1969 although he was second fiddle. Cool

Buy and sell bitcoins,

Haha, okay I am sort of with you on this. But how does one short mankind, exactly? I've got some funds set aside. Smiley

I like how optimistic this thread is right now

Sarcasm? U shorting?

I think that merely exponential growth is disappointing to the devotees of the super-exponential curve fit.

When you are disappointed in the performance of BTC/fiat, it means that you are shocked and saddened at how foolish and short-sighted are the other members of your species.

Who's there?

The last times the exponential baseline defined by the lows on a bitstamp chart was redefined were 9 Jul, 24 Jun, 1 Oct 2013, 5 Jul 2013, 11 Apr 2013.

So it's good tradition to keep redefining it.
