The new poll is totally inadequate. Very disappointed.  Angry
Similar to your scientific thoughts about bitcoin not going above this and that price? Grin

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
The problem I'm having is all these noob acolytes treating it like a self-fullfilling prophecy, and a religion. They buy a small piece of bitcoin and sit on it, waiting for their delayed lottery ticket to strike a winner X months down the road, all because some chart has "promised" them that a certain price will come true by a certain date. Like that is a 100% certainty.

What happens when things don't turn out like they were lead to believe? Will they all lose their shit, sell at a loss and become nocoiners again?

The problem with any kind of analysis is that you become prey to those with a better model (or better information). This to the degree that you are quite likely to perform worse than random. So you have to ask yourself what tier analysis you think you're operating under. For most people the answer will simply be "not good enough".

Since when are we going to have any model about the future that is going to be 100%?  The future has not happened yet.

Accordingly, if we are looking at medium to longer term, and let's say four-year cycles, then our currently top three credible models remain some kind of combination of 1) stock to flow, 2) four-year fractal and 3) exponential s-curve adoption based on Metcalfe principles and networking effects... yeah, sure even with some kind of attempted hybridization of the top three models, there is still going to be probability assignments based on whatever time frame that we might be looking at and then short-term BTC price movements can mess up momentum or even a kind of need to shift the curves - so with all kinds of short-term happenings such as momentum, happenings in the shitcoin space, various bearish or bullish news, pulling of hashpower or increases to hash power or other factors, these could well have some affects on short term momentum in one direction or another, but still the overall underlying pressures involving factors of the three above listed models are likely to continue to have pulling effects on the BTC price that surely continue to cause BTC to be a great asymmetric bet to the upside (aka number go up (NGU) technologies)....

What m ore can you ask for?  Are there some better models that need to be plugged in that are not merely noise?  Yeah we here all kinds of bullshit theories and we even have guys coming in here and rolling their own models while failing/refusing to account for the most convincing and credible of the currently BTC price prediction models.  Sure bring up some other factors, and we will see if those factors mean anything to the long term models or might need to be tweaked into the models, but the vast majority of the time, a lot of these various other factors are not worthy of much beyond some kind of short-term phenomena, noise or insignificant aberrations of the data.

Some more thoughts on the pandemic.

As I see it, the initial panic surrounding this infection was because of the fact that everybody had the earlier MERS and SARS infections in fresh memory, and they were indeed very, very deadly.
When it was clear that this SARS variant was no more deadly than the Hong Kong flu the stone was already rolling down the mountain and it was to late to stop it.

Now everybody realizes that the world overreacted and countries are going back to normal, some fast and some slower, depending on how much face the politicians and advisers have to loose.

So was the initial panic wrong? No, I don't think so, if indeed it had turned out to be as deadly as earlier SARS and MERS it would have saved a lot of lives.
The error lies in not stopping the draconian measures when it was recognized to be just a flu.

Well my Morning Glories are finally flowering...




Only problem is the weeds...



Well, not to worry, from my living room picture window they all look kinda cool together...



And you may notice the deceased house flies and high quality Amish made fly swatter. ($20 on Amazon, well worth it)

That's a really nice view you have from your window!

Oh, haha. Just noticed I'm Legendary.

Again.

I reckon there's more merit fire hosing on the Wob than all other threads combined on Bitcointalk.
Small wonder really. This is the best thread on the forum, where all the true libby legend hodlers hang out.

(flame wars and all...but that just makes it more funzies,  as Jay pointed out)

Shut up.

Just a word on the pandemic, it's not anymore in the civilized north.
Norway have declared Covid a seasonal flu and lifted all restrictions, Denmark too lifted all restrictions, and Sweden is doing the same, not that we had any too speak about in the first place. I have no idea about Finland, but a not too wild guess is that they too are doing the same.

This of course makes it impossible for other countries like NZ and Australia to keep locking their country up and putting unvaccinated in concentration camps, the virus will spread and infect everybody now, that's just how it is.

Wouldn't the Morning Glories technically be the weeds on you weed? BTW, Morning Glories are in the Nightshade family. If I remember correctly (it's been many years since I got into this and my wife immediately proved to be far better at it) but I believe a tincture from Morning glory flowers in very low dosages could eliminate intestinal parasites, but has to be used with EXTREME caution as the line between killing the parasites and killing the host was so miniscule... You sure you want that weaving it's way through the weed(s)?
