I was married to an alcoholic and the best explanation I found for it was this...

When you drink you're essentially drinking a poison. The first few times your body is like 'WTF?' and you puke and feel miserable the next day. Your body continues to fight it for a while but if you're drinking large amounts of alcohol before you're 25 or so while your body is still developing (the earlier, the worse) your body is like 'ok, I guess this is a thing that is necessary'. So your body begins to adapt. It changes your chemistry so that drinking alcohol is part of what you do, it eventually gets to the point where it is something your body needs.
It is at this point that you are an alcoholic. When you go without alcohol your body starts to crave it, as though you are going without water. If you go too long without it you start to get angry for no reason, you convince yourself that having a drink is ok. Your body needs the alcohol.

I can't say what the way forward is because your body chemistry is already altered. I am not sure if stopping drinking will change it back...if you're much older it may take years. For my wife it just got worse and worse...she eventually passed away partly due to the drinking (and trying to use prescriptions to counter some of the problems brought on by drinking).

Personally I have stopped almost completely. Not because I was addicted but I have realized that I may be rich enough in my old age to be able to afford the life extension treatments that most will not have access to. But I don't want to be old and falling apart when that happens so I'm trying to choose a healthy lifestyle. Alcohol adds nothing positive to your body and for me was always something I used as a crutch to socialize better. But fuck that, I'd rather live for 100s of years than be the life of the party.

It equals lack of influence, and when block validators are doomed to perpetually be some number around 1-10, it's guaranteed to be a permissioned ledger with blacklists run by the govt or corporate cartel.  You would likely need block validators in the tens of thousands or more for it not to be the case.  The only feasible way to accomplish that is where EVERYONE processes their own transactions with unprofitable PoW, just like email PoW. Unprofitable PoW is an unworkable system though, so you're back to square one of a decentralized digital currency being 100% impossible.

Thanks... I browsed through several threads, and still seems a bit of mystery about who he might be, perhaps a bitcoin whale who owns a little known bitcoin exchange, to the extent that it matters.


O.k.... I am either delirious or dementia'ed... I cannot even  remember that I asked the same question about some person who  does not seem to matter too much...

^he's well dressed, I'll give him that

 Mircea Popescu I believe and no, he doesn't have a WO hat but he does have this -

Oh nice! I really did go buy lottery tickets btw, and if I win I will dump it all for bitcoins! (AKA trying to pump bitcoin price lol)  

Yeah, this right here ^. Look, I'm no fan of Shrem, but you don't win a lawsuit by alleging someone is not "lucky or successful". You gotta show the evidence of the theft.

You are correct.  It does feel better.  Go figure?

Well, no. The onus is on the Winklevii to prove that the money Shrem has been spending is rightfully theirs. In theory, at least.

Crawling into the HODLcave gotta sleep on the low intoxication for a perfect sleep, and dream of a massive pump down in the world of bitcoinlandia 

Meanwhile i could appriciate a real time PUMP as well     ( no Tiny pumps and dumps any more, bring us the real shit again )

Yeah, even if you failed to sell high, you did not buy high, so you remain in much better shape than the average FOMO inspired buyer.  Same is true with Jimbo.  His sales are in a position of considerable profit, even if they are much lower than what they "could have been."

Of course, it seems likely if you can HODL through this seemingly long consolidation period, then you will be just fine and continue to be above and beyond the average FOMO inspired BTC buyer.

had to do it as well 1 time     

In essence, Charlie seems a bit fucked because he seems to want to stay in the limelight - but maybe it is just a personality trait (flaw) of someone who comes into the bitcoin space as an early "mover and shaker."    With the passage of time, we will see how this plays out.... If Charlie has a good attorney, the attorney may be able to negotiate some kind of "reasonable" settlement that satisfies the seeming winklevoss persistence.

They might be the same peeps?   

Hopefully, you will report back some successful results in this direction.   

I see.

i think most in here don't have a real DRINKING problem, as myself i almost only drink when i go out for dinner or saturdays.....or @the summer when sitting on a terrace etc.....

but when i drink something then i can enjoy it very much (or when BTC skyrockets then we have to pop some crazy shit as well    )

home early, going to sleep early and only very early stage of beeing drunk THATS the best one to fall a sleep with

I did give a reference. Please see the part that I have now made in bold. If you stop drinking cold turkey and as a result, your hand develops a slight tremor, that's a good sign that you have developed a physical dependence.
