Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
[edited out]
I considered telling your second point to JJG,
.. and I surely have my doubts about the supposed "downfall" of this thread.. blah blah blah due to the merit system or whatever...

Overall, we have pretty damned decent posts in this thread and even other parts of the forum since the implementation of the merit system.
I think you exaggerate a bit.  There is no downfall of this thread. But surely the shitposters have changed  (...and I mean the real ones, not the regular WO shitposting crowd)

I am not suggesting that this thread is experiencing a downfall.. I was describing what seems to be nutildah's ongoing characterization that troll/shills are taking over the thread... and if you had not notices, we have always had troll/shills and likely even worse prior to the merit system..

Back in the days they were at least reading the WO and you could have some pretty intense talks with them... fwiw to talk to Stolfi or roach  
... more like real human interaction .... and no, I don't necessarily mean humane  Cheesy

Sure... some current trolls do not say anything .but we had those kinds of troll/shills in the past too...

Many farmers don't read anything, not even the replies to their own posts.  I have my doubts that all of these posts are done by humans.

Well yeah.. you are probably right. that some of them are not actual real world peeps.

And I think they don't have even 1% of the same AI bot quality as BTC Network's JJG-BotTM

It costs more for the "interactive" bots.

Surely there are likely flaws with the merit system, including that perhaps merit sources could be rotated more frequently, including but not limited to yours truly.. but who is going to determine those things?  Theymos?  Should theymos appoint a Czar to oversee the ways that merits are sent out in order to determine if there might be some better substitutions of merit source members' discretion?  

Is there some other meaningful resolution?  

I think it's good as it is with regards to merit sources.
However equipping farmers with merits might feel to some a bit like upvoting scammers.

I doubt that I am going to change my merit sending behaviors very much.. sure sometimes I will hesitate regarding whether or not to send. and then just do whatever I am going to do and then move on... .. sometimes mistakes might be made and other times there may well be acknowledgement that the poster is one of those non-interactive (or limited interactive) bots, but I still "discretionarily" decide to send a merit because I appreciate seeing whatever provided content in this thread, even though there is not even one original thought contained therein....even an extra spacing or a period.

Nutildah seems to believe that attempts at shaming might be helpful... or other somewhat meaningless whining and/or drama on the largely irrelevant topic might help bring better direction to the topic....

rrrrrrriiiiiiigggggghhhhhttttt    Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes
No need to feel shameful  Cheesy

I don't.  I was just characterizing what it has seemed to have been nutildah's ongoing seemingly holier than thou art efforts when he is between shilling his own NFTs and proclaiming them to be good for the ecosystem... .. people's gotta make a living, no?

But encouraging farmers' activity with merits will change the experience for WO readers...  and I just wouldn't want to see a future where half of my beloved WO consists of sowed farmer posts...

Bots are getting more difficult to identify.. and surely also text done by real humans sometimes is seeming to be increasingly "chatbot" or whatever assisted.. so maybe there could be some needs to mix some of the interactions into the real world where the real people actually do exist. and who are afraid (or really dumb) when it comes to talking about bitcoin-related issues.

I really want to read his article. But if the shipping cost is reduced a bit, I will definitely order this book and read this article.

'The right to privacy matters'
fed rates are due end of march?

here is some nice fud about them.

https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/federal-reserve-policy-interest-rate-hike-markets-mohamed-elerian-2023-3

to paraphrase:
if we do 25% again and inflation gets worse fed looks stupid
if we go to .50% feds looks like they drop the ball with last move.

my thoughts are different:

I maintain that the 3.5 trillion dollar Long term care industry is not quite bailed out.

You don’t see much info on msm that they thrive with higher bond interest and fail with lower bond interest.

So I see that fud I linked as a distraction from-the stealth bailout of LTC companies.

I predict multiple increases of .25% this march and mid may.

when they fail to cut it with inflation a larger jump of .5% in late june.

all serving to tamp down btc and shitcoin numbers.

I am analyzing I bonds as I type.

@ jjg

your assessment that btc over the next 10-20 years is it will have the highest rate of return is something I am prepared for.

i am prepared for it to do other things such as

what gold did from 1992 to 2003

that is stay in slot 200-400 usd.

btc from dec 2022 to 2033 stays in a slot from 16k to 50k

my methods will allow me to survive that.

or go as high as 500k same time slot.

but remember i get coins at 50% with my mining deal.

there are not a lot of us doing this.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
[edited out]
You can be a royal pain in the ass.

Thanks.

do you think i believe that we will have 5 years of 5% to 7% interest from the fed.

Do I have any idea regarding what you think?

That's a rhetorical question, right?

I know that you have frequently presented a quite a bit of nonsense, including that when BTC prices were bouncing around $16k, you were suggesting that guys with 100 BTC (and presumably coiners with lower quantities of BTC) should sell their BTC and buy IBonds.

which would not be anywhere near what happened under Nixon Ford Carter then Reagan.

I am not sure how helpful such an analysis and comparison would be (or should be).. figure out bitcoin first, and figure out your own situation including how much that you want to allocate to bitcoin before getting overly worked up in terms of trying to figure out if there might be some value in holding fiat as an investment rather than merely as a way to manage your cashflow (and expenses).  I am not completely against comparing and contrasting traditional investment portfolios that might consider 40/60 allocations that are 40% bonds and 60% equities, so in that regard, if anyone feels compelled to continue to follow a traditional investment allocation, then they may well also need to consider how much to put into bitcoin.

If we have been in bitcoin for a while, we likely have long ago gotten away from a 40/60 allocation, and a lot of the getting away from trying to frame your investment in terms of traditional categories is to figure out what the fuck you are going to do with bitcoin, and I would imagine that you should be way more locked in than me because you have been in bitcoin for nearly 3 years longer than me, but part of the problem seems to be that you still want to start to analyze the situation from a traditional kind of framework when we are in a bitcoin thread.. so focus ur lil selfie... get you bitcoin plan together first, and if you want to dabble in that other stuff then so be it, I don't see any reason to spend a lot of time talking about it in these here parts.. especially pumping that bullshit as if we need to have it as part of the focus of any of our discussions in this thread.

But I am certain that unless they end the Ukraine 🇺🇦 Russia 🇷🇺 war rates will remain high.

Whats high 5-7% till Jan 2025 is likely.

Which means shit news for btc or shitcoins

Sure.. no problem.  The interest rates might remain in the 5-7% price arena for the coming 2 years or more.. so what? I imagine that part of the concern also remains to keep interest rates high in order to try to attempt to drive CPI down to 2% or maybe they will be willing to accept 5%.. and whether it is the Ukraine war or some other excuse, there is a battle to keep the dollar as the strongest of the currencies in order that other currencies are going to continue to have to try to keep up with the top of the fiats.. and the extent to which you should allow your bitcoin investments (management or approach) to materially be affected by interest rates should likely be a relatively minor consideration.  You have heard of the four year fractal, no?  You have also heard of exponential s-curve adoption based on network effects and Metcalfe principles, right?  Anyhow, bitcoin might be manipulated down to some extent but it still remains the fastest horse in the race and likely will continue to be the fastest horse in the race for the next 10 to 20 years.. even though there are likely going to continue to be bumps in the road along the way, too.

Regarding shitcoins. .. who cares?  Fuck shitcoins...

I did buy 2 m30s+ units which are earning coin as I type.
I am adding a 110th s19 pro next week

Props to you for continuing mining. I just can't cost-justify the aggravation at this point managing a miner - I was torturing myself with Lightning as it is, and find at the end of the day, it's just easier to smash buy $250 at odd intervals; knowing it's more BTC than I would have acquired if I never bought the miner to begin with...

Unnerstan?


yep 👍 since that is the cheapest way for you to buy btc.

my mining deal allows me to get btc at 50% off. once the gear is paid for.

So if I expand slowly during the “dip” i pay the piece of gear off quickly and then get coin at half price

phil!!  heeeeeeey phil!!!!!!


wakeup man!!!! buddy got one over on you. this is not a good look for us humans ya know



Hey I stayed up till 1am .

I am back on the job and gaining on buddy for Thursday.

I am beginning to realize it is close to impossible to do this for a month.

Buddy  march 2  = 13
Phil      march 2 =   9

what holds me back is I don't do mobile for bitcointalk

thus when I leave the house buddy gains on me.
and of course buddy gains while I sleep.

What dip?

You started this... I just want you to remember that I remember...

Hey I did a DCA on weds. and you are correct when we dropped off the 25k table I did say buddy setup some dip for us.

Which is pretty tasty at 23.3k or so

I did buy 2 m30s+ units which are earning coin as I type.
I am adding a 110th s19 pro next week

So I am buying the gear dip more than I am buying the coin dip.

I am close to having my mine filled with these nice low prices on gear.

When you are trying to best buddy you begin to appreciate why ai and or bots are made.

I doubt I will end up topping buddy for the month of march but I will try to do it.
