price manipulation at its finest

there is a German thread but I don't know about a English thread. I'm also interested to do some research the next days.

I think ABC Bitcoin announcing hard forks on short notice and telling everyone to get in line or be left behind on the minority chain counts as veto power

No. The convo is clear to all who will read it. You are the one who defined 'veto power' as "a concept that [someone] does not want to participate unless he gets his way".

My take on the current state affairs.

And yes, you may mine some Nimiq (https://www.nimiq.com/) and send me a small tip  
Much appreciated.

Uh oh...

looks like bitcoin is still under $10k

 

Did someone delete the blockchain?

The De Tomaso looks like fun.  My wish list goes something like this:

*Local Motors Rallyfighter
*Ford RS200
*Ford Sierra RS Cosworth
*Ford GT40 replica
*Mercedes 450 SLC
*997-II 911 Turbo
*Lancia Delta S4 Stradale
*Mitsubishi Evolution Tommi Makinen 6.5

Can you tell us more about your truggy Jojo?

Does anyone know a good non-dead thread for lightning network discussion?

Also does anyone else have a lightning node? I'll send you some satoshi for testing.

That's bullish.

You are wrong, try not to assume so much. In December most articles were about how it's going to the moon and extreme levels, though I was pretty sure around 12-13k it will crash soon and hard, ppl were still buying pretty actively then. I can read 10 positive articles and have a negative view after that, or vice versa.

I was just speaking in generalizations and my query had no connection to Ver. I agree with your general sentiments (IE bolded).

I was merely spouting out generic principles, regarding striving to have the punishment fit the crime, and certainly criminal prosecution and conviction is a public good with public input and guidelines.  Some jurisdictions have strict guidelines and other jurisdictions allow for a lot of judicial discretion (as long as such discretion fits into social norms and expectations).  Of course, as long as sentencing judges are respected by the community, they would have more discretion to fit sentences.

So, at this point, Roger has not been convicted of anything, but if he were convicted of fraud or misrepresentation or caught with some other form of insider trading (stealing money from investors), then those kinds of crimes would be assessed for punishment.. so yeah, we are really talking hypothetical, when he has not even been charged with anything, so far as far as I know... and a lot of the character faults that I have been pointing out might be moral and ethical rather than something that could result in criminal prosecution/conviction (which may be on another level, if it were provable).. 

On the other hand, another reference that I made was a kind of informal justice (or maybe even considering a kind of vigilante justice) that might come in a prison setting, and sometimes guards and prisoners could end up metting out kinds of punishments that might not even be just or fit into criminal categories.

If you go from one extreme to the next, then how am I supposed to be able to have a meaningful conversation with you?

At one point, you sound as if you are advocating a kind of fancy car abstinence, and then a few posts later, you are describing yourself as one of the most spendy of spendy consumers?



Yes, people are different.  Surely, some cars are more practical than other cars, and some cars have more wow factor, so of course, this will vary based on your own history and experience and/or who you might be attempting to impress, besides yourself.



Yeah, I had noticed that Lambos are very low to the ground, so sometimes physical flexibility getting in and out and just overall comfort too, could be a factor.   So the lack of practicality would likely make it just a fun extra car, rather than a regular use car.


You seem to know more about different Lambo models and options, than me.  I have not even considered any kind of car like that for myself.



Could be, but sounds like you are a bit ambivalent.


For sure.  I used to do a lot of my own self-repair, but my own wilingness to repair has gone down, but like others have mentioned, too, cars have become a bit more difficult to self-repair, too (computerization matters and other special tools/parts).


Surely, it is a good thing to teach kids about different kinds of self-sufficiencies, but also how to control some of their temptations and self-indulgences.  Of course, kids do not necessarily follow the guidances of parents, but it is good to give them guidance -and even presenting ideas of deferred gratification would be good, and leading by example might be more powerful than any words that you were to use.

Storage and upkeep are massive in comparison to say "art" which hangs on the wall and doesn't need upkeep until you get into the massive digits. Investing in classic cars is more of an act of love than investment.

EDIT: I guess thats a matter of opinion. <<< --- beeen drinking agin.

Judging by a ratio could be of some use.   I think they are arguing the total market cap is overvalued if considering an average ratio vs transaction value done since 2010

Thats a butt ton of work! Got a buddy with a 67 RS and Had a buddy with a 69 396SS 12 bolt main(pulled wheelies|| that was the shit) but to get into the 9's with that sexy beast is a act of love.

And well worth it IMO!
btw there is a 69 (?)Camaro that does the 9's called the beast.

FUCK! I'm wrong it's 8 Second @ 172MPH !!!!!




I used to tell people my 72 Gran Torino had Oil induction. Lol

They were impressed until I explained what that really meant.

BTW I've got a 350 sitting in my addition right now on the engine stand, been too lazy to find it a home. Too tired after the XJS rusted out while I was laid up.


Punishment should fit the crime but what should the punishment be when the crime is fabricated and the real crime is bucking the system and how do you prove that?

well if my kid ever asks me whether to spend money on a new car or a clunker, hookers and blow,
I would indubitably encourage the former...but that's just me.
whatever floats your boat...

Well, I did treat myself to a bit of a splurge, a 32 valve 5.0L Porsche 928S, bad assed little car that's pretty unique on the road. A new Toyota or even Tesla just doesn't add much in the wow factor for me. A Lambo has been on the mental table, but I'm not sure if I can fit in one for a longer drive. Maybe if bitcoin tops 25k I'll pick one up just for giggles or something. But even then I would prefer a Diabalo as opposed to something new (The LP500S is amazing looking but a total bitch to drive. I tried it, too much work by far).

Guess I'm just not at the showing status portion of my life yet. But I can understand the lack of wanting to wrench, I'm just pointing out to my kids that it's a lot cheaper to fix something themselves and spend money on hookers and blow than have a new car and no H+B. :-)
