So when the US bought gold other countries dumped their USD?
Last time the US bought gold as a reserve asset, the whole world was still under the gold standard. Currently, the whole world is under the fiat standard. That's the difference.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
All this makes me happy and proud that hodlers like us, the WO gang, have always been visionaries and envisioned things long before they happened. And this is rewarded with the profit we have.
Gentlemen,
Believe me when I say that the price is the consequence of being right, not the cause.
And the feeling of being right, and being right with you guys, the WO gang, is a by far superior feeling than seeing the price going into six figures.

Why everyone so lovey dovey when the BTC price is going up?  especially Italians.. .#justsaying

I think ole Sammy BF and his FTX shenanigans messed up the previous ATH and I believe we will blow past 100k just like we blew past 20k... well have to keep our eyes open or we'll miss it.
look at the wall at 100k though lol

gonna bounce hard off that for a bit methinks

however being wrong is a personal hobby of mine.

Oh gawd..  Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

What a noob.


After all this time, in these here parts, you actually believe in "walls"?

You must not know nuttin...


Likely that you've been reading (and actually taking seriously) too many of Philipma1957 posts.  Tongue

This bears watching.
we went from 68k to 91k

and we lost hashrate.
It could mean the major mines are very filled with gear.

Much like when my 300kwatt mine became power maxxed we found we need to dial back a bit. One would think that the big players would want to load up on gear.
This bears watching to see if we are going to see mining hashrate will be flat into a massive price rise.

Too small to know if it is a real trend.
BTW in the 2017 runup this happened prices mooned like made and hash rate did not.
hears to that.

At least you seem to be moving a bit off your earlier theory that BTC prices are supposedly constrained by hash (meaning that BTC prices follow hash)... so little by little... Rome wasn't built in a day.

I don't know if we fully realize what good times  have come for BTC. 4-5 years ago we dreamed of ETFs and that one day the US would consider Bitcoin as similar to gold. ETFs have been a reality for a long time now, and the huge influence in this market is evident. I generally do not approve of Trump as a person and because of his policy towards Ukraine. But it is a fact that this is the first president to speak out in favor of Bitcoin and promising to make it a national reserve asset. This is already happening in the state of Pennsylvania. Coincidentally or not, it was precisely the state that decided the battle in his favor. I think it's safe to say that Trump won thanks to the votes of bitcoin holders as well. What's next - first for it to actually happen in the US. If the bill to buy 1 million bitcoins is approved, it will have a "huuuge" (Wink)  impact on the market. Soon after, Europe and China will follow suit. I am absolutely convinced that Germany will one day buy the same bitcoins that it sold at many times higher price. All this makes me happy and proud that hodlers like us, the WO gang, have always been visionaries and envisioned things long before they happened. And this is rewarded with the profit we have.
Trump is completely unpredictable in this case because he was the president of the US from 2016 to 2020 and at that time he said that Bitcoin was a scam - and towards the end of his term he passed some very unfavorable laws for Bitcoin which were then mostly revoked by the Biden administration, and it should also be taken into account that futures and spot ETFs were approved precisely during the mandate of the Biden administration.

Trump doesn't have to "thank" anyone except those with big wallets who financed his campaign, and ordinary people served the purpose of voting anyway, and for the last time as Trump promised them.

Even if the US starts buying BTC for its reserves, I don't believe that the EU would follow that example, let alone China. The ECB with Lagarde at the head has an extremely negative attitude towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, while China with its communist ideology does not want anything it cannot control, and even less something in which the US will have a large share.

As for Germany, it was not the German government that seized or sold BTC, it was a German province where the seizure took place, and they only followed the law in liquidating the seized funds. In addition, I think that the member states of the Eurozone cannot make any investments of this type without the ECB - a few years ago, the question of selling part of Italy's gold arose, considering that at that time they were the third country in the world in terms of gold reserves. As far as I remember, the ECB commented that selling gold to refinance debts is not an option.

Wow  Lucius.  You really believe that ECB and some of the other supposedly bitcoin hostile jurisdictions are not going to be forced into changing their tune.

Game theory is a bitch, and they should not be so dumb as to ignore game theory for too long.. and sure there are always going to be winners and losers.. early adopters and laggarts.. and it is not going to be exactly black and white, even though the earlier that anyone comes around to bitcoin (even covertly), the better they are likely going to end up.. .. and yeah, maybe some of them are talking down bitcoin while they are secretly accumulating it, too?

I think if that was true I guess most countries would have already dumped their USD for Gold...
Why? What's the last time the US government issued an act to buy gold as "strategic reserve" or anything similar? The gold in their reserves is kept for legacy reasons.

So when the US bought gold other countries dumped their USD?

If the US starts buying BTC as a reserve plan, that sends the signal to every other country that BTC is better reserve currency than USD. And since the entire world keeps reserve in USD, it'd encourage everyone to dump USD for BTC.

can't say much against your points. However, being anti Bitcoin first and then pro Bitcoin is quite a normal journey for people. With Saylor being probably the most known of these cases...

Jesus the new Intel chip is a fucking Dog.

https://odysee.com/@HardwareUnboxed:2/amd-ryzen-7-9800x3d-vs.-intel-core-ultra:f


*These are just the gaming results but it is fucking brutal how slow this shit is.

AMD always had that technology edge, from the Athlon XP series of Processors onward. Nice to see that they now also took over the lead in the speed domain.
Well done, they deserved it, showing brilliant engineering.
Intel fucked up too many times, they needed to patch their chips because of security holes so often, so they are still fast according to lab results, but real-world use has become a different boat. Then there's the energy consumption, which is showing that Intel's technical design is quite far from ideal.

The four year bitcoin cycle is dead, IMO.

That's a bold statement there, IMO.

You don’t owe anybody anything. You didn't sign a contract, just put it down to having too much to drink and forget it. Nobody is going to get annoyed or give you negative trust or anything. We all talk shit when we’re drunk. If there is a 100k party, nobody would expect 0.1BTC off you. And quite frankly at 100k per coin, if people can’t afford to pay for their own shit, they shouldn’t attend.

That'll pay for a couple hookers and a pile of blow!

Haha, no one gonna hold you to a drunk post. Wink

unless it was something stupid and it was only beer money.

Yeah, thanks. We all say stupid things when drunk.

I was here 2013 when there was talk about a 1k party. That never happen.

I doubt there will be any party this time, but if it ever happens, I guess some sort of establishment has to be booked. I'm happy to help with that.

I take for granted that anyone who attend, will cover for their own drinks, hookers and blow.

This time is different:
1. Purchase of $MSTR completely new supplies
2. $MSTR copy-cats/other corporate buyers
3. State buying/establishing $BTC reserves
4. A massively pro-Bitcoin administration in the US for the next 4 years

$BTC is only going to go up from here, with some volatility.

$100k per BTC seeems inevitable.

There's been a lot of talk about a $100k party. I'm not going to make it (my family situation won't allow it), but I'm happy to donate 0.1 btc to the 100k party.

That is a very generous offer.

F*ck me.

I deleted that post shortly after, realized I've had too much to drink.

Oh well, now since it's quoted, there's no point denying I said that. I'll just have to suck it up and stand by my words.

If this 100k WO-party for some strange reason will ever happen, I'll help finance it. I guess I could transfer the btc to a multisig wallet, shared with me and a couple of trusted WO-members who are ready to make that party happen.

That'll pay for a couple hookers and a pile of blow!

Bingo. That's why you're not going to remove yourselves from their clutches. Something else is going to happen, unless of course the US elite buys most of the bitcoin, just as the US held most of the gold, under the gold standard.

Please don't confuse we the people with our government.  Certainly I agree that our politicians (who are bought and paid for, and wholly owned by the cabal) have no incentive in changing the current status of our debt based currency.  Quite the contrary in fact.  So, yes, something else needs to happen.

2 time Medal of Honor Recipient Major-General Smedley Darlington Butler pretty much sums it all up.

'The right to privacy matters'
gents, look at this chart! Cool

Bitcoin experiences huge price jumps in its early days, then flattens out somewhat as it has become much harder to increase the price by a factor of 10.
over time, fiat money loses trust exponentially, so that any price, like the Bitcoin price, shoots to infinity.
whether this will already happen in 2030 is questionable in my opinion, but it will happen at some point, as fiat money has never, 'never' survived and has always become worthless.



https://x.com/w_s_bitcoin/status/1856814571962392836

Has not the British pound sterling been around a long time ? It is worth less but it is not worthless.


Quote
https://www.weforum.org/stories/2016/06/a-short-history-of-the-british-pound/

"Anglo-Saxon era
The pound was a unit of currency as early as 775AD in Anglo-Saxon England, equivalent to 1 pound weight of silver. This was a vast fortune in the 8th century."


say 332 sterling  pounds are now worth a  troy pound of silver

so it has dropped 1/322 and is worth less. but not worthless.

a btc was once 1/10000 of a dollar  (pizza math)

a dollar is now 1/91500 of a btc

You're never too old to think young.
They live in the project,
They live off the dole.
They never use any birth control.
They have too many children
But what the heck,
It means a bigger welfare check...


LOL, i think i got it now  Cheesy

Nope, of course i don't earn money through parenting.
In my job, which i started three years ago, there is a simple rule: If you are good, you get moar. And the job, anytime, following conditions of my own choice (home office when i want it, and no deadline nags). EDIT: I worked about 6 months per year, on average, a few hours each day.

The song text is brilliant!

Thanks. It was a reggae song. The bridge went like this:

"And the socialists ---*pause*--- babble on (pronounced "Babylon") --- *pause* --- about the need for more government spending
But the spending is never ending..."
