Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
[edited out]

No problem GayJuanGee, it was the least I could do to slay and get rid of the second biggest troll on this forum after you.  Cheesy

Even if your little fantasy of "getting rid" of a member were to be true, you're not implying any ability to get rid of me, are you?  you fly-by-night but wanna-be treated like a regular...  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

And yes my first account was from 2015 and I kept up with every page till summer of 2020 when I didnt have the spare time.

Even if true.. who fucking cares, besides you?

I def dont miss scrolling past and largely skipping your walls of redundant gibberesh though.

No problem.  I would not expect you to understand anything that might cause you to have to concentrate for more than 10 seconds, anyhow.  So, no problema. 
do you what you can.   Wink

I see we've broken 60k again. Let's make it stick this time

I'm hoping my little offering to Karhu gives us the momentum to finally break through solidly to $61k (fingers crossed)

Likely going to bed with blueballs tonight, tho...

EDIT: Fully executed. Have 100% of the liquidity I need to build out Phase I entirely. The tax payment this quarter is going to be fucking obscene.

Congrats dude, truly Smiley

'The right to privacy matters'
Personally I had 4 people I know die of this shit. I would say five, but B blew his brains out when he was sick enough that he needed to go to the hospital. So I guess that was a suicide. So far I seem to have no other effects from shot 1 other than feeling sleepy that afternoon and kind of punky the next day with arm hurting when I pressed on it till day 3.

i personally know one person who died of covid from my church. they had a family gathering. basically the whole family caught covid but just one died.

next week is my 2nd pfizer shot. 1st shot side effects were sore arm, mild headache and fatigue. cleared in a couple days.

people can do what they want but im with the science on this one. ive got comorbidities so ill let the deniers take the chance of long term damage from getting it.

couple of my friends will not get the shot. ive not tried to talk them into it aside from correcting some misinformation (like its a live virus thats injected etc). their choice. once im immunized we can hang out so it works out i guess. except for the part the virus now has willing hosts it can practice mutating in to become even better killers instead of dying.

I am 64 I get my first shot on Tues the 13th like you it is Pfizer.

Of 75-80 relatives going to holiday parties from Nov 2019 to New Years 2019 8 or 9 of us got it.

3 Went to hospital my wife included.
All survived.
But here we are 1 year and 4 months later with both me and my wife suffering from damage from having it.
Since you can get it  a second time and we had it early We do not want a variant. So we are getting the shots.

We found out my wife had a hidden issue which is why the disease was so hard on her.
She is finally having her lungs heal after more than 1 year of treatment.
I have type 2 diabetes which I can control with keto diet. I am a bit overweight 6 ft 195 lbs.

So frankly we are not taking chances.

Now we BTC taking off and me being well positioned to mine it for the next few years. We could do really well $$ or BTC BTC wise. So I want to be able to travel and have a bit of fun.

So Pfizer it is.

Yes, good choice, imho.
It is not clear how long the "natural" protection lasts.
I had 2 Pfizer shots already-first one arm was sore for a couple of days, but mostly if I pressed on it, second-the same, but even milder.
The side effects were so small that I am not even sure that a correct dose was administered (especially second time), so will check for antibodies soon.
6ft? How you even fit on a ship? I thought that navy always looks for smaller people to ease the personnel in. 6ft and above is a marine corps type situation.
I am close in height and weight, a bit younger, not by much...wicked.

I was skinny 6 foot 165 pounds and wirey flexible but that was a long time ago 1978-1983

But make a poll and we will see, if it comes out positive, then make another one after a month and see if people still like it.
I think a lot of new people in here have no idea what it is and how annoying it was.

Degenerate bull hatter & Bitcoin monotheist
people can do what they want but im with the science on this one. ive got comorbidities so ill let the deniers take the chance of long term organ system damage from catching covid.
I see it as a double-edged sword, but one of them is a choice while the other is just a possibility.

I am still waiting until the vaccine is studied more. I think it's fair to say that some of us are here, on BTCTalk, specifically because they don't like having to trust. I'm one of those guys.

At this point, I have a few friends who've received either their first dose or both. While some of them have had a few days of fever and other mild side effects, one thing I know for sure is that they all did need at least a few days free from their work due to how bad the side effects were. I have a few of them who've had quite bad ones though - they were never against the virus/vaccine, yet they said very loud and clear that "they thought they wouldn't be able to go through the side effects and it was just the first dose, so I shouldn't be surprised if they won't be able to go through the second anymore".

On the other hand, one of them was infected with the virus after taking the shot.

Something I don't know is what the longer term side effects are. Right now, we're comparing the chances of having bad adverse effects + the possibility of still being infected with the virus vs not taking the vaccine, which still has the possibility of being infected. But the difference is that the vaccine is a choice, and you're choosing to possibly have adverse effects through a substance that possibly protects you from the virus. Makes sense?

As you said, the virus is mutant. It means that even if I take it and everyone else in .. say Europe does, there will still be someone in India who might get another variant and it's going to still spread across the globe. The fear that, once vaxxed, you are going to receive a new variant from someone non-vaxxed does not make much sense in my opinion specifically due to the fact that this is quite uncontrollable and invisible.

At this point, the only thing I really wish is that the vaccine does not become mandatory because while you fear the long-term virus effects, I fear the long-term effects the vaccine plus the virus might have on my body. I don't trust those corps making vaccines, at least some of them. Especially J&J, which is known for their quite ugly lawsuit.

Right now, it's a complicated scenario where everything is pretty uncertain. We don't know what kind of other variants of the virus will appear, we don't know what the long-term effects are post-infection but we don't know those of the vaccine either.. it's all just an uncertainty and I think the worst thing I can do right now is take rushed choices..

My wife got her second shot (Pfizer) a couple days ago.  She has not taken any time off work.  Her arm is a bit sore but otherwise she is fine. 

I will get my first shot soon.

There was not 10 years available to test the new mRNA vaccine, however 100s millions have taken the risk with a new technology and been vaccinated, with few side effects other than not one single vaccinated person has died from Covid.

If you think nobody has died from the vaccine or COVID after the vaccine you're really going to be shocked by the VAERS data (over 2300 deaths so far, while this Harvard study estimates only about 1% of people report to VAERS).

Or the nunnery where all 35 sisters were never in contact with anyone, they got the vaccine then 2 days later they had a COVID outbreak that killed 2 of the sisters with 28 of them testing positive.

I feel so strange, I paid $11k for my current car. Almost every car I buy is at least 10 years old...by buying a 10 year old car I get the same feeling up getting upgrades every time I buy my next car.

But with Tesla accepting bitcoin I want to buy a Tesla, but if it's a battery technology I know that it makes sense to buy a new car. So the Tesla I'd like to buy is over $100k. I can certainly afford it. But it's such a huge leap. The first house I bought was nice, had 3 acres of land and only cost me $85k. I just can't imagine buying a car that's more expensive than what I'd pay for a house (don't get me started on the prices of houses right now...).

Reminds me of the inflation rate throughout my career. When I started work in the late 90s the Social Security cutoff rate was just above my salary around $45k. My last job in the US the Social Security cutoff was just above my salary around $90k. Which means that throughout my whole career I really never truly got a raise. I just kept up with inflation (which is the point the Keynesians make about making workers think they're making more money).

Haha sounds VERY familiar.

Speaking of inflation, I hear so much around me about all kinds of stuff going up in price at a crazy rate. Not just real estate, electronics and stonks. Latest I heard is recreational vehicles! Gettem while they're hot!

In my line of work, starting salaries were going up very very slowly in the last 25 years.
I envisioned this in late 90ies, early 2000s when it became clear that Internet is a deflationary force (especially as far as the salary is concerned).
If not for various investments, my situation would be much worse.
Investments is US was the right thing to do in the last 20 years (or even longer).
I try to buy cars that are about 1 year old (certified). It seems to be that you get most of the value there for roughly half the price, maybe slightly more.

Isn’t it Bitcoin season?

Yes, since 2009 actually  Grin

Of course, overall bitcoin has done quite well since it went live in January 2009, yet who the hell really knew about it for some time... except for a few guys that were really in the nerdiest of nerdy circles in terms maybe having some potential technical knowledge.

And, still bitcoin did not really get any kind of attempts at tangible price discovery until around May 2010, the time of the pizzas transaction.. and maybe there have been some spreading of the news about bitcoin as the price was getting assigned to it and it was being found out about by more and more people.  I am pretty sure that I heard the word, "bitcoin" a few times before I looked into it, and maybe I just thought something superficial that it is a kind of invented money like Lindy Dollars or whatever.

I do believe that we should be attempting to consider some of the nuances of bitcoin's price movements and cycles which does seem to cause it to have seasons in which some folks could well be in a world of hurt if they are not able to figure out strategies to get through the cycles.. both financially and psychology, and surely hardly any of us were able to get into bitcoin in 2009 or even sometime soon thereafter be able to have some of the pleasures of experiencing the price appreciation of its whole life... We only know about bitcoin between 2009 and whatever time that we got in through the experiences of others - not that I am saying that you actually "have to" own bitcoin in order to benefit from its invention and they incentive systems that it has set up that will likely end up benefiting everyone, whether they own it or not... and sure the owners of bitcoin do seem to have gotten quite rewarded through the years and likely to continue to be rewarded as far as what seems to be likely in the future.

EDIT: Maybe BTC can buy me a reliable brain again in the future. But then i will be old, so i won't need it by then  Angry

Don't worry, the fact that you own BTC means that you belong to the top 0.1% of the smartest people on Earth. Your brain is fine.

I hate to quibble with a fellow bull - but seems to me that there is some level of smarts and luck in terms of finding out about bitcoin and then acting upon such knowledge.   When I found out about bitcoin in late 2013, I was so damned ready for it because it seemed to have been exactly the investment category that I was looking for and so maybe I am one of the rare ones in which the concept clicked almost immediately in terms of the proposition of bitcoin and my desire to get a stake in it, but I surely am not claiming to be any kind of genius in terms of the strategy that I established and if there might have been some better ways of going about my investment into bitcoin in terms of where I was at at the time that I found out about it.

And, yeah, I use the term "found out about it" loosely because I hardly even knew exactly what bitcoin was except for some descriptions of it and what it was trying to achieve, and so part of my initial goal was to start to get a stake in bitcoin but to also study the matter at the same time and to figure out if maybe I needed to readjust my strategies or my ideas about what it was that I was investing into.

There are so many people who neither had the luxury of being in the mental/financial place that I was when I got into bitcoin nor are there many people who have the luxury to spend a lot of time studying a matter...

Many of us heard about the August 2020 article regarding yuppies dismissing bitcoin (a r/bitcoin link on the topic, too), and yuppies are considered to be smart people, but the article is likely correct about some mental blocks that cause difficulties for them to take action in terms of either investing into bitcoin or researching into it more.  Most of them will likely come around sooner or later, and many of them are likely smarter than a lot of us here, just smart in different ways that end up causing them to be a bit of laggards in the likely largest transfer of wealth in our lifetimes, and perhaps the largest peaceful transfer of wealth in the history of man, perhaps?  perhaps?

Here's the full story:
I heard about bitcoin earlier than i considered to get some. I read about it, which was inevitable in my life as a computer nerd, pretty early. I can't name a year, but it must have been before the pizza event. Later, i heard and read something here, something there, prices, volatility... and i got paid in fiat pretty nicely, had a habit to use drugs in quite some of my free time. I didn't even think about investing at that time at all. In 2014 a friend told me how he was ordering drugs on the darknet and paying them with bitcoin. That's why i wanted to have BTC initially. Then i never bought, because i could get all the drugs i liked easily, so i had no intention to go the darknet way. I also had severe problems with fatigue, weak but low threshold immune response, and much worse memory problems, compared to today. Later, in 2017, i was planning to invest in it. I had three kids at the time, living from insurance money, so i had plenty of reasons to start shaping the financial future of my family. As i knew most of the "well known" fundamentals about BTC already, it was an easy decision. I also found out that i favored the idea of Bitcoin over the fiat system from the time i knew about it. Even if i end up poor, i would still prefer Bitcoin over fiat money.

The fact you are here writing this, is due to you likely having received the following vaccines in childhood.
Diptheria
Hepatitus B
Haemophilus influenzae type b
Polio
Tetanus
Whooping cough
Meningitus B
Pneumonia
Roravirus 
Meningitis
Mumps
Measles

I was never vaccinated as a child. It wasn't until I was made to take them in my 30s to go to Iraq that I got my first vaccine.

I wouldn't really call the COVID jab a vaccine. Moderna wasn't calling it a vaccine when they developed it. They considered it gene therapy. But then they found out they can get out of liability if it's called a vaccine so...*poof*...it's a vaccine.

They just started testing this mRNA approach on humans in 2017 for flu.

While I think the mRNA therapy may be something that can help with future illnesses, I remember my mom telling me growing up "don't try any new medicine unless it's been out on the market for at least 10 years". Sound advice. Though the reality is that I can count on one hand the number of times I've ever taken any medicine.

You can all be the guinnea pigs for this new medical procedure but I'm fine focusing on a natural healthy body that can take on anything. I already had the COVID, it lasted about 2 days. The second day when I realised what it was I took Vitamin D and Zinc in the morning with 1g of Vitamin C every hour. It knocked it right out.

mRNA


As a veteran sir you have my greatest respect. I can also appreciate that having been a guinea pig once already for multiple vaccines including anthrax and botulism plus PB nerve agent pills and exposure to organophosphate pesticides, you do not want to repeat the experience.

The fact you have had Covid means you are already immune and not in need of a vaccine.

As the majority of children you grew up with, were probably vaccinated against childhood illnesses, this would have protected you who were not.

There was not 10 years available to test the new mRNA vaccine, however 100s millions have taken the risk with a new technology and been vaccinated, with few side effects other than not one single vaccinated person has died from Covid.

Where would any of us on this forum be without taking some risk with the then new  technology Bitcoin, with only one evident side effect, a huge increase in wealth. Bitcoin is no longer a risk, but the safest deposit account there is.

The (bastards) are still fighting to prevent a new ATH which would invalidate painting their false narrative of a double top (or even triple top according to proudhon) and a subsequent crash. Nope the new ATH is approaching with the short road to 70k and longer one to 89k ahead.
