Haha fuck.  Just saw the candle to 20,000 euros on Kraken on 13 January for BTC/Euro.  Fat fingers or short squeeze?!
That candle had no volume - so it was some kind of error. We were also at 6 cents usd on coinbase in april.

Chinese new year is a factor. Starts in 2 weeks. Will go up after.

Doesn’t mean it can’t break bear market early though....

However China did ban this recently. Maybe they are out of the market.

I would not short bitcoin at this point. 🤔

Globalists may do so for the NWO though. 🙈

USDT is too scary for me.  I don’t mind playing dead cat bounces but I prefer my cat already dead, not at the top of the cliff.

I do agree. That's why I only played with $100 just for the lulz. But hey, it worked and I am happy for that Smiley

I predict that so much of late 2017's run up was by deep pocket institutional investors (and not retail)

You got it completely wrong.  I talked to plenty of Goldman Sachs people who were crawling all over bitcoin and altcoins back when the BTC price was $200-800.  The so called "institutional investors" aka banks were not the ones buying at the top, they were the ones dumping at the top.  It was their pump and dump to fleece the retail investor.

The G20 then labels whoever they want "terrorists" and instructs the centralized pools to not process any transactions for them so your money is essentially deleted and you no longer exist ...

Except they aren't doing that, and can't do that, and can't enforce that. Not to mention the decentralized pools.

Then a single transaction goes through, and it jumps 20 hops ... enters zcash or monero or some exchange / dice site ... good luck with that.

Of course they can do that, except they will likely do it in a much easier manner.  The banks will simply create a chain anchor fork of bitcoin and legislate that the non-chain anchor fork is illegal and if you want to use bitcoin at all, you're required to use the chain anchor fork.  Bitcoin is STUPIDLY EASY for the G20 govts to co-opt and take over.

Tether just flashed down to 94 cents so it’s not completely over yet.

Oh, didn't notice... lemme check...

XXXXX    sell/limit  USDT/USD   
$0.9789
   100.00000000   
$97.8900
   Closed   01-29-18 04:40:12 +0100
XXXXX   buy/limit   USDT/USD   
$0.9411
   100.00000000   
$94.1100
   Closed   01-29-18 04:40:09 +0100

Over a 3% in 3 seconds. It looks like I had a good idea yesterday... should have played with "some" money though... or maybe not, that USDT thingy is scary shit. At least I can say I have successfully traded USDT even if it will just buy me a beer.

If you've used LocalBitcoins in the UK, this guy's account would probably be familiar with you. He put down his residential address on Companies House for his business - not a good idea.

It's a stark reminder of the truth of that five dollar wrench gif. Keep safe and, if you have a great sum invested, avoid exposing that fact!

Glock.  Perfection.

I thought Solar had become feasible now.    Not far from my house there is a solar farm that is feeding an oil refinery pretty sure (ironic).   Now the weird thing is where I live its not even that sunny but apparently they've produced something usable in a field for the factory, maybe because it can be placed so close.     The solar farm is next to a school which a normal power station couldnt do.

I rate hydro power over solar but it needs further development.    I also live a mile away from the worlds largest tidal range resource, they dont use it... So lots of waste and inefficiency remains sadly


My understanding, and I'm not claiming to be 100% up on the latest, things are changing all the time, is that photovoltaics have only become a net EROI positive in the last 2 years or so...just the panel itself.  Then you have deployment and associated infrastructure.  We are close, right around break even in a pure energy sense, but remember that PV manufacture has its own externalities.  It is a hugely polluting endeavor utilizing, as I understand it, dubiously sourced rare earth minerals.

Hydro has its own issues, here in the US Pacific North West we have pretty much destroyed our anadromous fisheries resource.  We have even resorted to limited dam removal.

then throw on top of that lithium producers for batteries

not very green at all

What's up with ethereum? It doesn't make ANY sense to me. Especially not now that Bitcoin's mempool is "ok" and LN going forward...

Bitcoin is missing the ability to create tokens. We need token side chains.

Tidal has promise, but thus far the practical obstacles to placing infrastructure in such a violent and corrosive environment have proved insurmountable.
