Parabolic rises always end in tears... for somebody.

$120000 in 2024 Confirmed

Would that be from the optimism chart or the inevitability chart?
the latter
optimism chart reads $20000 by new year

Real question:

Would anyone here really be that sad if by Dec 2018 we were only at say, $12-13k?

Are people's expectations getting ridiculous now considering the hella run up we had this year?

It would mean end of parabolic rise. And that would be sad.

I fix broken miners. And make holes in teeth :-)
I'm still contemplating what the best move tax wise is. But I don't think I'll ever go "all out" of crypto, no matter how much I end up having. There are a few absurd goals that I would consider tackling if I had upwards of 100m.
Indeed. Item #1 on my list of "If I am a bitcoin billionaire" will be to build a rocket to bring back Musk's Tesla to Earth from Mars. Just so I can drive it by his office and go BEEP BEEP.

Pirates in space.

meantime 11,800. Crack 12k already, we need to get to 20k before Christmas.

Yup he's in jail right now, but not for long

As a result of coming to an agreement with the US Attorney, the 40 year maximum sentence was reduced to a maximum of 41 months time served. And as of his sentencing, he will be outside of prison walls in 18 months.

I expect that if he does not pay or start to pay those of us that lost the most (and everyone else) within a few months we will get together, pool our resourses and go after him.

I say hell with the 'few months'. If a shovel ready initiative is floated, I'm likely to jump on board.

At this point, I might be molliified by an actual open audit by a capable trustworthy party into his operation. As I posted elsewhere, I am still open to the possibility that BST was at least initially a good-faith business attempt. I can live with a failed biz. But all anyone has heard from him since is a lot of self-serving passive-aggressive bullshit -- at least heard publicly. A person in his claimed position (i.e. failed biz) should be bending over backwards to provide his creditors with information.

But if this was a scam from the outset, I would expect that any initiative in which I was involved would prosecute him to the extent that any other felon who stole x USD worth of private property would.

Jbear jbreher, when will you learn

'Twas an expensive lesson indeed. Over 1300 BTC principal, over 4000 if 'profits' are included. And it wasn't the last. Lost another big chunk in the GLBSE implosion. Fortunately, by the time of the (last) Goxxing, I had wised up some. Only lost $16 USD in that fiasco. And nothing since.

Good thing I didn't have all my eggs in one basket, hunh?

Though I am a bit puzzled as to what you expect me to 'learn' in regards to the above. Shavers has been convicted. And while it took longer than I feel is truly justice, the remainder of his life will be damaged due to the consequences of his actions.

So what is the lesson I am supposed to learn, smartypants?
What actually happened to Shavers? I'd imagine that even if he got a prison sentence he'd still have a fuckton of money stashed away somewhere.

No mansion for me, more like a a hobbit house

but off the grid, hell yeah

Entirely our plans too. And just had the good news : 0 Tax on our gains in Be. (For as long as the greedy gov do not change their mind).

But in the meantime a fully self-sufficient mansion with lots of land for random animals that get to do whatever the fuck they want in exchange for milk and some eggs seems pretty good. Hopefully lab-grown meat will be within reach soon too, then I could add my own lab into my mansion as well and not have to worry about anything other than internet access from some third party.

You're never too old to think young.
I swear my bladder is an ATH indicator.

It always wakes me up just in time for another leg up.

Go Bitcoin go.

I've gotta go back to bed. I don't keep farmer's hours.

We're not farmers we're Europeans.

I didn't mean that.

I meant that here it's 9:00AM and to me that's farmer's hours.  Cheesy
____

And with that we had the obligatory post-ATH dump.

See y'all at the crack o' noon.
