Would you mind taking a picture of the results when placed in the sun? Am keen to see what it looks like when functioning, since it looks fairly advanced (for a sundial).

It's already night where I am, so I can't take a picture, sorry  Embarrassed. However, there is a video of the clock's creator showing how it works:

And here's the 3D model in case you want to make one too  Smiley

Here’s something to keep an eye on. Dennis Porter is expected to announce tomorrow that Bitcoin will be added to the treasury of a US state. This may be the beginning of the snowball. You can view his X post hinting at what is to come below. This is one of those things that won’t make an immediate impact, but could be the start of something big if others follow.

I printed that digital sundial you mentioned... I printed it last week and it works perfectly, very cool.



That is pretty cool. I’ve always wanted one or at least to see one in action in real life, but admittedly I don’t think I have a spot to put it where it would be useful. I have wondered why people don’t make giant sculptures like this for use sitting in people’s backyards. You see the old style sundial sometimes, but you never see these.

It is very nice to see this working. But there are some peculiar details: the time is only displayed after 10am. and ends at 4:00 p.m., the minutes increase from 20 to 20 minutes, or for example: 10:00 a.m., 10:20 a.m., 10:40 a.m. But it's still a really cool item.

Man who stares at charts (and stars, too...)
The zoom is a bit disappointing.

It's only a link to the 1280 pixel width image.
Feel free to reccommend a free, anonymous photobucket website where i can safely upload 20+ megapixel files, that should do a lot better.

This one's better, but also only about 3MP:




EDIT: This was a different stack, made with commercial software, which takes a lot longer to run, but it removed the satellite trail without just omitting the frame as a whole. Contrast is a bit too high for my taste and the stars don't stick out too well. I shouldn't do image editing after midnight  Roll Eyes
Again, i am impressed by the (though mediocre) result, considering the low capture time, but the near perfect conditions under which the first half of all usable images were taken beautifully made up for this. I imagine what it would be like shooting the sky from a mountain, above (low) cloud levels. I'd get much more clear nights. Maybe i will move to such a place when BItcoin reached $1M? Should be well worth the consideration for me.

we probably see the beginning of bigger nations starting to support Bitcoin the next months

A Bitcoiner chooses. A slave obeys.
OT: Finished processing about 50 minutes of IC1805, that's everything i could use from 3 hours of capturing after ditching the fogged frames.
Due to capabiities of commercial post processing software and including any usable data, even with satellite trails, the result is decent enough, but it lacks a little detail.
However, the first half hour of the session was perfect, and those are the images were prefered in the stacking process. The clearest of all images included a fat sattelite trail, but i decided to keep it. Getting a more modern camera paid off again. It's definitely a keeper, i never had so much usable data after so little time of capturing of this nebula.

Saylor calling the most of us "paranoid crypto anarchists"?

Let me think: If institutions grab, take custody and play with of loads of Bitcoin, when institutions are against the original values of Bitcoin, what could possibly go wrong?
Turns out i am paranoid?  Shocked

EDIT: Don't forget, MS is an investor. He's not Bitcoin Jesus (Sorry, Roger), so his main interests behind buying Bitcoin are about making fiat money.

EDIT2: And i wouldn't mind to pay taxes for fiat gains out of Bitcoin, but i would not want to get almost completely robbed by government, just because i don't participate in their dirty investing game.

"Blind faith in your leaders or in anything will get you killed." - Bruce Springsteen


Michael Saylor isn't Bitcoin god. He may be interesting to listen to, have some valid points, people may be able to use MicroStrategy for arbitrage.

End of the day Bitcoin was created for very different reasons than what he said right there, in fact the exact opposite.

My strategy is turning into the following: take out what you invested, perhaps a bit of profit.
See what happens with the rest.


I sometimes have to be reminded to think that way. Thanks. The forks and airdrops alone gave me more than I ever invested.





Will a government eventually put a gun to your head to hand it all over or somehow make it (outside of ETF investments) unusable?
It still will not surprise me, regardless of its value.


They can only do it, if you dropped your pants once and showed them what you got.

I have got so used to your bearish comments that your bullish ones are setting off alarm bells  Grin

I have to rely on stablecoins for parking most part of my sold corn to evade taxation.
Michael, do you hear me?

EDIT:
As for the cheerleaders, i remember projections of $50k for Q1/2018 somewhere along Q4/2017. We (almost) all remember how this turned out.
Have the uber-bull targets even ever hit in the history of Bitcoin?

I thought about parking in stables as well, but I decided I wouldn't put life changing amounts into stables, since it's an IOU issued by a company. I have been burned by gox and stamp (luckily not finex) and learned my lesson not to rely on any central entity.


The 50k targets:
back then these were mostly proclaimed in the late parabolic rise near 20k.
At the beginning (the phase we are probably in right now) most people expected 10k max, and that was quite a bullish target at that time, (which we reached easily afterwards).
First, almost no one thought that we are going to 20k. That 20k resembled the uber bull target in the same phase we are in right now.
So imo we actually reached the uber bull target back then!
(The 50k targets only came up when people saw how easily we went up to 20k.)

Particularly this cycle we seem to be better off by preparing to act and project a little different than before. While your last big sell near the former cycle's top and rebuy close enough to the last cycle's bottom turned out well in terms of numbers (Bitcoin stash increase), it might be better to sell along the future uptrend going up (starting at a reasonable treshold no less than $100k) and in turn buy in batches again, but earlier on the way down. (EDIT: Playing it more safe).
ETF's and Paper Bitcoin are changing the game quite a bit, so better be prepared for possible future actions of our new found "friends" who are just started to explore the market.

I still haven’t firmed up my sell plan yet for the imminent bull run but I have a vague idea of what I want to do. Previously in past cycles I would think about selling in Q3 or Q4 of the year AFTER the halving.

I don’t want to take the risk of assuming we will peak in Q4 of 2025 so going to sell some earlier, like you suggested. I was thinking of beginning to sell at just over $100,000. I might regret it if we pump to something silly like $300,000 but better to be sate than sorry. I plan to diversify and buy multiple rental properties with some of my sold Bitcoin. I will be unloading 25% or possibly slightly more next year. The ideal life is a juicy passive income and a handsome Bitcoin stash, this is my plan, my desire.

Obviously I will hold a significant fiat stash to buy Bitcoin back much cheaper in the obvious bear market that will follow. Ideal scenario is $250,000 top next year and a bear market bottom of something like $70,000 in 2026/27 but ideal scenarios never play out do they. Too many people cheerleading for $1,000,000 per coin which obviously is not going to happen this decade.

mmh... both is not as obvious as you make it out to be imo
