Bitcoin volatility continues to break all time lows. I know I keep saying it, but it’s amazing what we’re seeing in such unstable times. This is a great signal that deep pockets are accumulating and slowly increasing the price as demand outweighs supply. With the halving coming soon, you have a limited amount of time to get on the ship before takeoff. Maybe a year or two.

sry couldn't find the article that I read anymore...

but here is an older one from summer:

For me it makes sense. Miners provide an important service to grid security by relinquishing some of their profits. I think that's worth a (partial) compensation.

+1 WO’s merit.



I was actually thinking if there is a LGBTQtalk forum in existence, containing a Grooming Observer, to go there and take da piss.
Bob?




OK, I’ll bite.

Well, as my favourite AI puts it, “link or it didn’t happen”.
I find it like a bad joke tbh.

We’re going to have a new ATH, 9-12 months after the 2024 halving.

So, some practical and easy steps anyone can follow, to protect - to an extent - their privacy.
I by no means claim to be an expert on anything, but I do have a gut that rarely disappoints, which helps to navigate through the jungle of scamming apps and software.

- Silent pocket.
It’s imperative to throw away your tracking device. Because of the way the system is rigged, it’s next to impossible now-days. So what’s the next best thing? Silence that eavesdropping device by sticking it into a Faraday Cage, and using it only when absolutely necessary. Stickers on all cameras are also a must, and as for the biometric face recognition and location services, fuck them and have them permanently off. SIM attack countermeasures have come a long way too, now services take time to enable, after a new SIM has been activated.

- PGP, ProtonEmail, ProtonVPN.
Proton offers free email and VPN for its users. It uses zero-access encryption by default, and is very easy to use even if you’re a moron. Zero-access encryption means that even if your password is exposed, your data [emails] are protected by a 12-word phrase - written on piece of paper. Sound familiar? I’ve tried many VPN services, and most of them fail one test or another. ProtonVPN passes the IP leak test successfully.

- Browsers.
There are many browsers to use these days [Brave, Dissenter], but my favourite one is Mozilla. Private browsing always enabled of course - that always deletes all the cookies upon exit. I won’t go on about Tor, because it can make your life difficult, as it remains the very best. A Tor router and a VPN over Tor though, locally on your device, should do the trick. Your network response will increase greatly, but so will your privacy.

- Instant messaging/calls.
I’m not going to even mention mainstream social media platforms, and how you should stay the fuck away from all of them. Signal is one of the best around, as it uses real end-to-end encryption, and not the bullshit ones that other spyware apps use.

- Operating Systems.
I won’t go there either, because they require technical expertise greater than the average Joe, and this evades the point of this post.

- Cars.
Cars these days - are also data mining devices on their own. Stay away from anything with an embedded GPS that you cannot turn off. Even better get an old car that has next to zero electronics. Preferably a gasoline powered one, with abundant litres and horse power, just to stick it to the climate change system. Boy are they fun to drive, and I’m such a stubborn petrolhead. Basically anything “smart” is dumb as fuck, and contributes to the surveillance agenda.

All the above of course mean very little if you’re a threat to the matrix. Their tech is far more superior than what is known to the public, as they’ve back-doored and master-keyed anything from RSA keys, to my mothers vagina. LOL. Why bother then, one might ask? I’ll leave that to the random reader to answer.

Thank God we have Bitcoin.

Observing @ $16,840

Ok. No problem. Thanks for your consideration!


Some thoughts however:

If you are in accumulation phase and you are sure of an ATH in 1st qtr. 2023 (which I myself really hope for), it certainly would be a nice chance to get more BTC for free, just by putting your BTC where your mouth is.

Even if you are against betting, 0.1BTC, now 1,700$ will be around 7,000$ at the next ATH. And having 7k$ more BTC in 3 months should actually be a nice motivation to make an exception from your rule.

Don't get me wrong... as I said I don't like betting either, but it wouldn't make much sense not to do it, when I could have a relatively certain 0.1BTC more in my wallet.  
...in addition, if you win, you get at least a 7k$ value, whereas when I win, I get less than that $ value maybe even under the initial value of 1,700$...

So I have the feeling that I'm just more confident winning (increasing my stash) than you are...


But anyways. Thanks again, and have some nice last days of '22.


btw, I guess you must have been the first guy choosing 2023 for the new ATH in the poll (now it's already 3)

I went for 2025.

Although it could be Nov or Dec 2024

That's the spirit we need bro...!!!!

No 2022 in the poll?

Welcome back!

Hello friends. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

Old poll results:

Ok.  Sorry if that's the case. I sometimes tend to get exhausted with new accounts copypasting...  

But I know the problem lies in the fact that people get money via the merit system for posting.  ...and that I personally don't like very much

fwiw I read somewhere that miners shutting down to support the grid get financially compensated for that...

edit:
thanks for the zerohedge links.. liked them

...

Their grip is getting ever tighter.  TPTB / Deep State were grasping ever more in 2022.  They will keep at it in 2023.

Bitcoin looks more necessary than ever, even if it becomes harder to get and use.  It is up to us to keep BTC getting stronger and beyond the grasp of those who want to oppress us.  See this new article for a fantastic overview of what is being done to us, and what they want to do in 2023:

https://bitcoinmagazine.com/culture/financial-surveillance-calls-for-bitcoin

It looks to me that we need more and easier solutions for getting BTC quietly and off-the-grid.  This is one of the various things I want to be thinking about in the coming weeks.

Privacy is becoming a vital thing to preserve what liberty we have that still remains.

"Someone should start some threads showing us some practical steps"

EDIT: Especially easy steps.  For me, perhaps some of us as well as the n00bs we need to join the BTC community and keep our assets and selves safe from predation.

WELP, they destroyed The Witcher, don't even try to watch it unless you want to puke.
