WRT personal technology, the masses' rationality makes zero sense.

Spending $1000 on a laptop, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather.
Masses: What a huge waste of your money!

Spending $1000 on a smartphone, just to: have the occasional chat, play a game, check the time, and check the weather.
Masses: This is the way! Great use of your money!

So...whenever Bitcoin goes from a long, multi-year bear market to start of a new bull run, the MSM pounces to immediately say Bitcoin "is in a bubble".

Every. Single. Time.

Any long time OG Bitcoiners notice the pattern?

I guess the only two binary states that Bitcoin can be in is either "dead" or "bubble". Nothing in between.

Fuck it, let the plebs sell their coins in fear.

there comes a time where you just can't help them anymore.

Well, according to some bigger image it's a pyramid game, or even outright scam.
Today one of my brothers in law (not the nocoiner that regretted not to buy at $400, a different one) phoned me up and started with the words "i got $70 worth of TRX...".
Short version of my answer: "Buy bitcoin and hodl."

The thing is, traditional watches are functional jewelry. Every digital watch comes off like a modern toy in comparison.
Never saw a digi watch that did fit to an elegant suit, they always look cheap somehow.
But this thing is a monster, purely for attraction (and obscurity?)
Nothing beats a classic Rolex imho, but you need big hands as well to make em look really good.

Agreed. Pocket watches are always the best, but if you need an amazing wristwatch I would recommend a Hamilton 505 Ventura or even the Pacer. Futuristic in 1961, futuristic in 2021 (holy crap, it's been 60 years)

Pulling all my coin off Gemini, cancelled all outstanding orders, and moving the fiat back to my financial institutions.

Got a really bad feeling about tomorrow.

Gut is telling me we're going to see a massive pump above $50k within 72 hours.

Hope I'm wrong.

You read this article about Grayscale today? It was linked two or three pages back. (Spoiler: look out for the 2nd of Feb and the days after.)
Hope you're wrong because of DCA-dipping no more possible at around $36k?

EDIT: Here it is, for your convenience. Very bullish read, that is.

I'm not 100% in favor for this watch but still I do love traditional watches more over sports watches or apple watches or whatever ...

Quote

I wasn't referring to sports or Crapple watches. I was referring to the need for watches at all. Cellphones are pretty much de rigeur in today's world and every cellphone tells you the time, updated regularly.

The only use I see for wristwatches is for decoration and I don't wear jewelry or tattoos.

all i use my smartwatch for is for reminders (set on its calendar) and such. as being retired the only real reason i need to know the time/date anyway is for meds and MD visits lol.

and yeah phones tell the time. if you wanna dig it out of your pocket. but nothing beats smartly snapping your arm out and reading the time off your watch though. old school but satisfying anyway.

before smart watches and such, i always liked those old school LED watches (you know the ones you pressed the button and it lit the time up in red LEDs). they must still make retro models or have used ones for sale somewhere.

edit: pretty sure i messed the quotes up so took the names off. sorry

Yup, LED watches were neat, but the problem is they needed two batteries for the display so they were kinda big. Still, the Star Wars watch in 1977 is a classic in design and function.

I got a watch, that is separate from a phone or a tablet, solely to tell me the time in a second or two, as opposed to fiddling with a phone in my pocket if I'm out and about. It makes a minor difference. For the longest time, I resisted the idea of wearing a watch (I did wear one before when I was younger) when I got a recent phone because the phone does tell the time.

But it's a 4 inch or larger object just to tell the time.

he is a shining example of why and how free speech can be used to do evil.

The reality is Mining BTC with solar is viable and solar can be greatly expanded due to the profits you get from mining BTC.

It is sad when a person spout lies under the guise of free speech.

Incentives for large solar arrays can be done and most mining can be handled that way.

Instead of banning BTC like the fool says he should be saying incentives must be done to make more solar arrays.
