What move up Eddie? 

I reopened a medium-sized short around 5.6k. Just in case she's only teasing us with this move up.

The hardest part is figuring out sensible stops.

Sorry for little OT about btc market. 

LOL what a shitshow

The "true Bitcoin" my ass

A poker playing friend told me about them in ~2010.
I used a $75 prepaid/gift credit card I received when I bought a set of 4 tires to buy about 5 of them when they were ~ $12.  I used a convoluted series of services (Virwox, dwolla and possibly liberty reserve?).

I began playing poker with them, and once I had won a few I sold enough to send the $75 cash back to my bank account again via dwolla.  I continued to play poker with Bitcoin for a few years, mostly on Seals with Clubs.  Over this period I began to UNDERSTAND what bitcoin actually was, and meant for the world...  I kept playing poker to win them.

Though I mined a little from time to time, and also even traded a few altcoins here and there I essentially never bought or sold very much Bitcoin at all... and really mostly only when it was at MUCH lower prices.

I did take a stake in Monero.  Similarly to my poker stake, once the Monero had risen a bit, I sold enough of it to more than pay back the initial trade, raising my Bitcoin a touch, and keeping a little pile of Monero, which I still hold. 

Last year I bought my wife an I a trip to Hawaii with bit of BTC...

Otherwise... all my chips are still on the table so to speak.

In the end... if Ver and faketoshi, and the IMF and Bilderburgers and whatever the next attack is can somehow destroy Bitcoin (which I doubt) at least I went to Hawaii!

Well I'll be danged...
 My whole family are engineers on my dads side.
I myself went to college sold weed and ended up dropping out (math major)then getting a job in manufacturing engineering (no degree).
Guess what I do now? Mostly CNC programming and tool design but I also educate noobie college grad engineers that come to work
for my company . Some of the stuff I see them do just boggles my mind.They obviously don't have a clue.
 Experience is far more valuable IMO.

Unrelated to discussion: I have a question regarding one of your old posts, any chance you could enable PMs from Newbies?

My mate suggested me to get into bitcoin in the end of 2012, though it seemed too "niché" back then and I didn't take his advice, forgot about it totally. Had pretty busy life in general that time so had no time to really think it over. In late 2013, just before the Mt.Gox fiasco, I stumbled randomly on a bitcoin article, which grew some interest in me. Didn't buy any yet though, just started keeping an eye on the price and where it could go. Found this forum too, but came here only to read without an user. Then came the big Gox pump, when it really got my interest. Started buying around $600 down to $200's, got my stack pretty big and was planning to firmly HODL. In 2015, real life problems hit me straight in the face and had to sell almost everything (the amount was in 3 digits), leaving me just with 1BTC, which I sold in 2016 as I had lost faith in many things, didn't keep up with the price much anymore either.

Got my shit together and got back in the game in September 2017 after the summer pump, bitcoin came all over the news then as well. Had almost forgotten about it completely, guess I was still missing my precious coins from 2015. Started buying alts at first, with some minor trading back and forth and made pretty good profits with them. I was still more into alts when I started being more active here and registered this account, JJG was actually the one who kicked some sense into me and suggested I'd stop the alt nonsense. Been accumulating slowly since then, won't make the same mistakes like in the past. Now I'd move back with my parents before I sold my coins

I'd go as far as to say that you could learn things much faster on your own than in college. The motivation point strikes true though.

I enjoyed college. Lots of free time, learned a lot about Mathematics, and met a good bunch of interesting people. That said, it left a lot to be desired and if life was just about money I would've wasted my time there.

These days college is just motivation to learn something. You could just as quickly learn everything on your own, but most "kids" don't have enough self-motivation to do it, so college is a good choice.

definitely need to go sleep

Hahah! gnight.


Somewhere in here in 2008, I can't find a way to search the site it's been changed so much.

Too much wasted time, done searching.

when one confuses butt cheeks for nipple-less boobies with thong marks,
its time for one to stop drinking and go to bed ...good night.

Well, that is the essence of a scoundrel.

Not really. Good guy inside.

Hope 249 is not amount of BTC he paid for this Model S.

Yeah, this just needed to be quoted again.



Hope they put you on some good meds!

I got home friday night to this crap and wish I had stayed at the casino.

No way I'm catching up on this thread (50+ PAGES!!!) before the casino again tomorrow.

Anyway back to football.


And does anyone have a link to a good synopsis of the bch retard-fest?

I'm surprised you nutballs don't think the the whole universe is just a model created by TPTB. Perhaps your very brain and sense of identity is the product of the gov, like you're one of the replicants from Blade Runner.

I believe you are eligible. See homer, he will sort you out.
WO is now HO... It's very cliquish... (is that even a word?)


what's that?...selling weed?
