Nice. Still haven't embraced the sea shanty craze but here's the song we listened to when we first spent the night at the seastead site to test our Internet:

Listened to that for the last 20 minutes and it helped me calm down and get to something I was working on to actually start to solve the issue I was having.
And yes I heard it was all the craze now since people are bored and getting cabin fever so they turn to what the sea sailors use to do so to cure their sail faring absence while at sea.
And it actually works! Wink

But anyways, here is the video that looks like where Mr. Boring company came from while visiting L.A to do that interview with Joe Rogan from the previous video.

nice coil. soon?




Hopefully!
It hasn’t been this settled/calm/low volatility for a while. Even the WO is quiet AF. Almost feels a bit eery, possibly explosive moves next week?

Not bad.
Bullish.
My body is ready.


Money is going to leave the bitcoin ecosystem over the next 12 months (and forever after on average). Bitcoin will never reach that price. If it does, I'll buy $10k worth and give it to you.

Quoted for reference.
Please someone help me remember when it happens!
I can't wait to see math and science confirmed again here! I'll surely put this on my calendar boy!

This above timeline reminds me of this timeline I did back in 2018... I think I seriously need to update it now!


Adding to this what will happen if Satoshi Nakamoto reveals himself

“Coinbase says the entire crypto market could be destabilized if Bitcoin's anonymous creator is ever revealed or sells their $30 billion stake”

It's ok to feel a bit old at 60, because it's just an alternative expression for a bit less young  Grin

Well, if you can borrow a billion dollars at near zero percent interest, and then use those funds to buy corn, and those debts are payable with all sorts of conditions several years later ... ... wait, that's exactly what MSTR did.

And just quoting something someone said more than ten years ago.

Quote
Indeed there is nobody to act as central bank or federal reserve to adjust the money supply as the population of users grows. That would have required a trusted party to determine the value, because I don't know a way for software to know the real world value of things. If there was some clever way, or if we wanted to trust someone to actively manage the money supply to peg it to something, the rules could have been programmed for that.

In this sense, it's more typical of a precious metal. Instead of the supply changing to keep the value the same, the supply is predetermined and the value changes. As the number of users grows, the value per coin increases. It has the potential for a positive feedback loop; as users increase, the value goes up, which could attract more users to take advantage of the increasing value.

   Satoshi Nakamoto, February 18, 2009

Just to throw in the electronic engineer's spin on this: positive feedback loops are nasty things that destabilize systems. It's the designer's duty to make absolutely sure there are no positive feedback loops in a system, or it can potentially collapse and become uncontrollable. Positive feedback loops are used to build oscillators (i.e., things that go up and down periodically, and never stabilize).

On the other hand, instability is not always a bad thing. The F-15 Eagle is more stable but less agile than the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The superior agility of the latter is due to its inherent instability.

Just sayin'...

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"

Stop trying to give those fucktwats any benefit of the doubt here.  It is not called for.  The matter is much more complicated than some good will spin, including that they were attacking bitcoin and its governance, and you can fuck off with your attempts at good faith arguments, even if there may have been some people who did engage in good faith in their support for those various attack vectors and scams.

You are simply wrong. I thought you had improved over the years I have been away but scratch the surface and it's the same old JJG so rather than get in some kind of mud slinging match, I'll simply roll my eyes and move on.  Roll Eyes

I think that I have improved over the years, but sure maybe it depends upon the topic.  I have surely forgotten about things, and some parts of my body do not work as well either.  Anyhow, seems to me that I have not lost my ability and/or attempt to be nice to you, even if some strong language was thrown in your direction.  eye roll back to you.   Wink

He is like a dogecoin - meme president, elected just for fun and because there were no other “honest” candidates.
Ukranians voted for him just to have a laught.

But you have to admit, he does really look a bit like Napoleon.  Roll Eyes  Roll Eyes

What would you understand, just a year ago he hosted a humorous show and starred in films - now he is the president of Ukraine.

So, in retrospect, was it a good decision to pay off all debt with BTC money? Paying off debt = cashing out = selling your precious coins. So if you have just hedl and went on with your monthly payments wouldn't it have been more profitable?

P.S. Happy BD!  Cool

I don't know what the he will answer but from a purely accounting point of view that would be like borrowing money to buy Bitcoin and that carries risk. I opened a thread on the subject yesterday and all the answers are contrary to borrowing money against your Bitcoin.

I glanced at that thread (and put it on my watchlist - surely not a bad topic), Poker Player, and I am considering providing a response there.. Maybe I will link this response?

As you may know, I am NOT a very BIG fan of some of the recent hype about putting your bitcoin at risk with third parties and various recent Defi products and some of the baloney that comes with some of the pushing of various products.

But there are a whole hell of a lot of ways to leverage debt to your advantage, so in that regard, debt is not bad in and of itself - especially if you know how to leverage it to your advantage.

Let's get out of all or nothing thinking because you might not just take out a loan (or not pay back a loan) and completely put that in bitcoin - even though some people have done those kinds of things with results in both directions..  Surely some of the major considerations that anyone should make when using debt includes considering their cashflow abilities to service the debt, and how they are planning to use some or all of the value that they get from the debt.  Sure, the debt can also be used to bolster cashflow reserves, too.  Some of the worst kinds of debts relate to buying consumption goods and various depreciating products, and better kinds of debts relate to investing, business, self, and ways that have decent chances of appreciating (or at least holding) value.

Sure, bitcoin could go either way, so in that regard, it could be good to increase your bitcoins from 10 to 12 by taking out a $100k loan that might have a 5 year term (or not paying some of your existing loans), but surely, there should be considerations of cashflow during that time and ability to service such debts whether bitcoins go up or down during such time - so you would not necessarily rely on bitcoins appreciating in value, even though you hope (or theorize) that they do.

Is it dumping time yet or what exactly?

The thing about Bitcoin is that it's always dumping time. And it's always pumping time. And if you buy and HoDL, you always win.

Kind of like Alice-In-Wonderland money.
