Anybody read the „How to Trade a Vertical Market” report? Opinions or a tl,dr?  I couldn’t draw a lot of new insights from his (much cheaper) world currency report so I’m not tempted to buy it.


CornCube is our resident expert (that I know of) re Armstrong.  Since I do not TRADE, I do bother to subscribe to any of his reports, but I very much enjoy keeping up with his thoughts.

I do not know if CornCube subscribes (I think not), but he appears here from time-to-time and may offer good insight into trading a Vertical Market.

Also another follow-up on my prior post:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.24655179


Wait, what does your eye have to do with it?

Why are two quantum particles entangled at a great distance, i.e. quantum entanglement.

That my eye was gouged on a date that contains all the same digits (presume 0 means nothing and to be ignored) isn’t significant statistically.

Yet combined with the fact that only known person to be recorded predicting 9/11 would occur soon and be blamed on Osama Bin Ladin did so on the exact day of my 36th birthday. We can presume that anyone who had predicted in a recorded interview such 9/11 details would have been exalted on the Internet, thus we can safely conclude Bill Cooper is the only such person to do so.

Couple this with the fact that the Newsweek magazine cover of David Rockefeller wherein the hands of his watch are apparently set to time of 9 and 11, was published on April 3, 1967. And my ex who was instrumental in my eye being gouged out has her birthday on April 3, 1976.

Combine this the fact that after the first bombing of one of the twin towers in the 1990s, I was telling my ex that was just a test run and that the Oklahoma bombing would be repeated at the twin towers eventually. Thus I was thinking very much like Bill Cooper, even though I did not know about him at that time.

Then combine that with my involvement in Bitcoin (arguing it is a creation of the Zionists) and my (yet unpublished) work on solving the centralization and scaling issues that plaque proof-of-work and proof-of-stake.

I feel like there is some destiny involved here. I doubt even David Rockefeller consciously set his watch to a time of 9 and 11.

P.S. additional exquisite scientific analysis that concludes 9/11 was a military operation.

Quote
Hey it could be destiny! I doubt he set it to 9/11 consciously either and that's why I find some of it so unreal. Because if these type of things weren't done consciously,  then it's either insane coincidence or something else. I do think though, that if a person looks hard enough those types of things can be found everywhere, yet not really have any meaning. I'm gonna leave it at, "very interesting" :-)

Btw, I am not 100% certain the resolution on the magazine photo is sufficient to conclude the hands were on 9 and 11. Would need to see an original.

Well I agree except I do not see how this “things” can be found everywhere. There is only one 9/11, only one person who publicly predicted it, and I do not know of anyone with my circumstances in relationship to it. There may be others given 7 billion humans on this planet. I would like to know their stories and circumstances.

I think it is important to understand that my eye incident and the involvement with my ex turned my life away from being a multi-millionaire working for major software companies in the silicon valley, towards being destitute and being in the position to take a great interest in Bitcoin. She and the eye incident were an instrumental factor (not in a positive way however, she was not aiding me and the opposite actually) to me being here working on what I am working on now. Also the TB was instrumental in delaying me such that did not make many of the mistakes that others made before me, such as issuing an ICO or other investment security. Also the delay allowed for  me to further refine my understanding of the technological issues.

EDIT: Ah the watch was indeed set to roughly 15 minutes before 11.

Holly shit. An explanation for the 999 in my eye incident date as pertains to this correlation with the 9/11 event. They basterdized Jesus’ probable birthdate of 9/11 into a horrific emergency. And 999 was the first proposed nationwide emergency # (as 666 inverted).

Today from MA:

Subtly, the EU is looking to establish preparations for the coming banking crisis and how to protect the banks from massive withdrawals. The solution? The EU wants to be able to temporarily free up credits for the banks and at the same time to freeze bank deposits, In other words, like Greece, you just won’t be able to withdraw funds.  Obviously, everything will be frozen. The current EU plan envisages blocking account disbursements for five working days and with the authority to extend any suspension to up to 20 days. They may need longer!

I recommend that you have 30 days worth of cash on hand. What the authorities do not understand is that if they freeze one bank, a run will unfold on all banks. The public will not believe whatever the government says. Therefore, banks that are not in crisis can be pushed into a crisis by a contagion. That is simply how it all unfolded in 1931-1933. The only way to stop a contagion will be a bank holiday and you have to close them all.

CASH will be KING in the middle of such a contagion.


https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/world-news/banking-crisis/eu-preparing-for-the-banking-crisis/

He's mentioned something similar before, perhaps a year or so back when such a crisis seemed imminent. I wonder what timeline he envisages, or maybe has learned from behind his infamous "curtain"; how near "Just Ahead" could be. An early sign might be an unravelling of Italy's banks. Being in the EU (well, until March 2019 for us!) I've been prepared for some time. If it does happen, it will scare the bejesus out of most ordinary folk. Lately, I've veered towards more of a slow decline scenario on our way to Greece. We'll see.

EDIT 19th Nov:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-11-19/ecb-proposes-end-deposit-protection

It is the 'opinion of the European Central Bank' that the deposit protection scheme is no longer necessary:

    'covered deposits and claims under investor compensation schemes should be replaced by limited discretionary exemptions to be granted by the competent authority in order to retain a degree of flexibility.'

To translate the legalese jargon of the ECB bureaucrats this could mean that the current €100,000 (£85,000) deposit level currently protected in the event of a bail-in may soon be no more. But worry not fellow savers, as the ECB is fully aware of the uproar this may cause so they have been kind enough to propose that:

    "...during a transitional period, depositors should have access to an appropriate amount of their covered deposits to cover the cost of living within five working days of a request."

So that's a relief, you'll only need to wait five days for some 'competent authority' to deem what is an 'appropriate amount' of your own money for you to have access to in order eat, pay bills and get to work.

The above has been taken from an ECB paper published on 8 November 2017 entitled 'on revisions to the Union crisis management framework'.

The left is determined to destroy all the resources by transferring money from the productive males to the females who destroy male productivity and waste resources.

Natural selection creates a lot of bad traits in both males and females, but probably more so in women.  For instance, a solipsistic woman that believes her life and whatever she wants is more important than everyone around her is more likely to have resources available for her child to survive, and if the child survives, it then perpetuates the cycle and passes on those traits.  The official narrative is that only something like 3-5% of people are sociopaths, but when it comes to women and how they view the value of their lives compared specifically to men, a huge percent of them are sociopaths in that regard.  They just have some form of selective sociopathy. So called new age women love to pretend they are not "just mindless baby making machines", yet all the traits that make up who they are were derived from that task in natural selection over thousands of years.

No I don't believe that bitcoin has conquered gold even though bitcoin's costs have increased more than that of precious metal. It is because precious metal is a stable type of money. It's consistent around the world which is comparitevely much less fluctuate in prices when compared with bitcoin. While bitcoin isn't consistent around the globe and iss fluctuable in prices therefore it is not steady.

Also defunding the Left is leading us into a real civil war. Shit will turn much more violent soon. When their $ spigot is turned off, people become desperate.

Defunding the SJW roach motels:

https://www.wired.com/story/grad-students-are-freaking-out-about-the-gops-tax-plan-they-should-be/



The cancer of misallocating resources and the type of “men” raised to perpetuate it until there are no more resources:

I asked my mom if we could stop and take a closer look. She pointed to the barbed wire fence that stood in our way, and my eye was drawn down the entire length of the barricade. It went on forever, separating the road from the entire river. Not far off, there was a small driveway that travelled over the river and up to a stately manor in the woods.

My face screwed up in confusion as I said, self righteously, “You can’t own a river! That’s not fair!”

“That’s my son.” My mom replies, proudly.



I was around 9 years old when I first heard about the Boy Scouts. Camping?! Learning how to make knots?! Campfires?! S’MORES?! I had no idea such a club even existed, and I was thrilled. When I thought about my chances of joining, I reflected on how often my mom wanted me to do more extracurricular activities. Anything to get me out of the house and out from under foot.

After school, Ninja Turtle backpack bouncing wildly, I bounded up to my mom in excitement and began listing reasons why I absolutely needed to be a Boy Scout. “S’mores,” I said. “S’mores!!”

“Do they let girls join?” was my mom’s question.

Silly mom. “No! It’s called BOY scouts, mom!”

“Then no, Andrew. I’m sorry.”

Dejectedly, backpack dragging on the ground, I went to my room to try and learn knots by myself.

Reading the other answers to that question will quickly educate all of you about why civil war is coming to the USA.

Hyperme.sh

Yes, I really love the idea of eliminating deductions for state & local taxes (only income taxes for now, NOT inc. property & sales taxes) for the reasons you copied above.  It would put lots of pressure on those states who are irresponsible with taxpayer money.  DEFUNDING the Left will piss them off, but it is necessary in the medium to longer term.

I'm OK with almost everything Trump is attempting.  He does appear to be going up against The Swamp, something America has long needed.  He has accomplishments..., largely ignored by the MSM.

I hadn’t had the time to really catch up on what Trump has accomplished and this summary impressed me:

https://youtu.be/tDa2crZCx0U?t=1458

He is acerbic but retrospectively acknowledged to be effective. Sometimes there’s a method to the madness of a genius that other people do not comprehend while it is happening.

Jeff Flake was a cuckservative enemy of Trump, and went out denouncing Trump. The alt right is successfully nailing Trump’s enemies.

The inner party has been investigating Trump for imaginary crimes, but inevitably the investigation started turning up Clinton crimes, not Trump crimes, since the Clintons are criminals, and Trump is not. I expected the investigation to lead to a left wing coup or an attempted left wing coup, with some judge no one has heard of issuing a warrant for Trumps arrest on the basis of a grand jury indictment, to be followed not long afterwards with arrests of numerous prominent Republicans for insufficient leftism, but it looks like it is just going to evaporate.

With a permanent government coup against Trump evaporating, this makes a Trump coup against the permanent government (“You’re fired”) far more feasible, as everyone rushes to support the strong horse.

Trump has taken important and major steps to defunding the left. He has had far more success in defunding the left than Ronald Reagan. But the left is still massively government funded, while the alt right is still massively government persecuted.

If Trump takes power, falsifying the Moldbug thesis, it will be that the alt right frog marched him into power, as King David’s mighty men conscripted him into Kingship, and the junior officers hauled Pinochet off to the still smoking presidential palace. It is striking that Jeff Flake conceded on the same day, or within a few days, of the investigation into Trump going off the rails

Wow! Clever move by the Bannon-istas:

There are some who are concerned about removing the tax deduction for state income taxes. Deducting state income taxes from your Federal taxes has been quietly talked about behind the curtain for some time. It was also one factor in my own relocate out of New Jersey to Florida. The elimination of the deduction for state and local taxes will be a major death blow for the high taxed [leftist!] states like California, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut etc..

The states have been effectively double-dipping. I remember when the New Jersey state income tax was put in. The politicians said it would cost you nothing because you could deduct it from your federal taxes. Essentially, it was the way for the state to covertly get more money that they were not accountable for. That game is coming to an end. If Trump eliminates that deduction, then and ONLY then will the people start to hold the states accountable for the first time EVER! Repealing it would increase federal revenue by $1.3 trillion over the decade

the reform is very real indeed, and make no mistake about it, this would be a tremendous triumph for Trump and for the nation as a whole. Trump has the potential to take the United States counter-cyclical (cycle inversion) that would actually put a tremendous amount of pressure on the rest of the world.

Another reason for the coming short covering dollar vortex that sucks everything into the US dollar and US stocks.

Btw, Steve Bannon is a follower of the Dark Enlightment, which includes bloggers such as James A. Donald (who is also the first guy who responded on the mailing list when Satoshi announced Bitcoin). I created a Dark Enlightenment thread on Bitcointalk in 2015.

Also defunding the Left is leading us into a real civil war. Shit will turn much more violent soon. When their $ spigot is turned off, people become desperate.

Folks, I am expect BTC to likely top out at $8 - $10K during this current move, then a rotation in alts such as LTC and BCH because of the expected failure of SegWit2X in November (1X not to fail yet).

What type of Anonymint-Philippines anti-metals collusion is going on here today?  First I guess I'll address this random craptocurrency pumper buffoon:

Time to invest in the metal is long gone. This is the era of crypto currency.


Besides all of them being centralized and having no point to exist at all, why all cryptocurrency is garbage:

The r0ach report 23: The Achilles heel of cryptocurrency economic fundamentals - Seigniorage fee

https://steemit.com/money/@r0achtheunsavory/the-r0ach-report-23-the-achilles-heel-of-cryptocurrency-economic-fundamentals-seigniorage-fee

The difference in cost of production and face value of a monetary instrument is called seigniorage fee. If the cost of a dollar bill is something like four cents to create but you pay the government 96 extra cents for it, that's called you being ripped off by orders of magnitude and the government using the ripoff profits to fund it's mafia. In the big picture, you're always going to be getting hit with some type of seigniorage fee no matter what you use, but the key is to minimize it.

Now that we've established you need to be a moron to buy paper, fiat currency, let's examine how this relates to craptocurrency. Humans live in a generally closed ecosystem, and since the peak of the industrial age, cost of production generally only goes up for the noble metals as the free market takes all the low hanging fruit first. This means seigniorage fee is mostly always going to be on your side holding those instruments. Bitcoin on the other hand, has a floating cost of production function where production cost is recursive based on it's own demand.

Metals are a non-recursive system since cost of production is always a derivative of the external energy market. This is an important point to make since anyone from a programming background knows recursive systems are a flimsy house of cards with a single problem variable. The problem variable is that the cost of production for bitcoin can go down just as easily as it goes up. This makes it a very unsound monetary instrument in terms of seigniorage fee compared to virtually every other "asset" on the planet since the other assets are generally not recursive.

In case you lack any common sense whatsoever and haven't figured out bitcoin doesn't actually exist in the real world and is mostly imaginary, I would say any system built on recursion disqualifies itself from being an "asset" in the first place.

There are virtually no fundamentals whatsoever in terms of seigniorage fee in bitcoin and contrary to current day opinion, fundamentals actually do matter. It's basically designed to be nothing more than a pump and dump in other words. (i.e. You can never say "oh, I got a good deal buying bitcoin at $100 or $10,000. Everything over $0 is a seigniorage fee in bitcoin so you are generally always being ripped off no matter what you pay, unlike physical assets even as lowly as toilet paper).

There is no seigniorage in producing rocks also, but frankly I find paper money much more useful than rocks. We built these civilizations with the coordination that paper money provided.

We certainly did not build computers from rocks.

You are too focused on money as a perfect store-of-value (which is a fantasy) and not on the utility of the medium-of-exchange. If you are referring to non-monetary asset utility, gold has nearly none.

As for the moat that prevents unlimited forking and seigniorage, Bitcoin has immutability which will drive it to be the one-world reserve currency controlled by the Zionists at the end game. Coordination is the Buffett-esque economic moat. Decentralized ledgers will increasingly cannabalize everything software-with-a-database in the startup universe. It’s just a matter of time, while right now we’re separating the prescient billionaires-to-be from the myopic I-coulda-wouldas. Yet just like Pets.com became a reality eventually a decade or more hence its failure, we might experience a Dot.com-esque crash first. The ICO madness and hype is way out in front of the actual reality of adoption. The only blockchains I’ve used for anything other than speculation are Bitcoin and Steem.

Ehm, silver and Gold are always going to be valuable. They are in a downtrend now which means likely going up in the next few years.
Commodities are suffering from the tail of a malthusian event. During inflationary scares they rise and otherwise they will always fall. Bitcoin has surpassed gold price for good as I have stated even before it happened. So inflation may pick up once us starts selling more bonds and m2 drops or does not pick up enough. Currently there are no signs of inflation it may take up to a decade or more until then watch it drop like a rock.
