Just to add to this, The Fed Reserve Bank of Chicago Charles Evans came out today and basically said that [paraphrasing] the Fed is "on track to make at least another $4.6 Trillion in asset purchases by 2023."
Fucking hell, they're not even on the DL anymore. In plain sight robbery.

Isn't it *great* that can't be done with bitcoin? It's not bitcoin going up against the dollar/euro, it's that the dollar/euro is sinking against the bitcoin.
Finally. Peace.

1/ Breaking major news from US Treasury OCC, the largest US banking regulator (@USOCC), with new guidance allowing US banks to use public blockchains and dollar stablecoins as a settlement infrastructure in the US financial system.
3/ The new interpretive letter establishes that banks can treat public chains as infrastructure similar to SWIFT, ACH and FedWire, and stablecoins like USDC as electronic stored value. The significance of this can’t be understated.
5/ We are on a path towards all major economic activity being executed on-chain. It is tremendous to see such forward thinking support from the largest regulator of national banks in the United States.

I actually love this when such old-timers visit this forum and there's positivity in their posts. Yeah the guy sold everything back in 2014 but so what? He didn't turn into roach, or mindrust he's not bitter, not jealous or something... just wishing his still standing comrades all the best... love it... #nohomo

My last spam pic(s) (for today at least), but if some of you are into photography and can probably afford an infrared converted digital camera, you will discover some kind of new beauty.
Good night, hodl tight

Photography is awesome for when you get older or not suited to serious exercise. I know people in their mid 80s that take amazing landscape photos.
Also local wildlife photography can help advance science if you get the right niche for rare birds / critters in your area

My dad was heavily into photography. Landscape, supercars and these soft filtered 70's portraits. I grew into it, automatically.
Got my first Canon AE-1 from him at the age of 12, i also have two inherited lenses here, which i use occasionally. A Tamron push-pull zoom and a fixed focal length 24mm f2 lens. Both can't keep up with modern sensor resolutions too well, though.
Stepping into digital photography at 2 megapixels from 35mm film was awesome.
At the time you can shoot landscapes like this a lot:

I could see it becoming some kind of slogan.-Dont trade, its gambling.

BTC hodling, the only addiction which makes you rich.

I agree with everything except the "stonks will correct heavily soon" part. They are indeed massively overvalued, but the Fed will keep money printer go brrr on the downlow every year from this point forward, sending stonks even higher. And at the end of every business cycle (7-9 years), they'll use whatever downturn "event" as cover to push trillions of $$$ through, giving Wall Street another massive injection. Next time it won't be just a few trillion though, it'll be more like $10-15 Trillion.
The melt-up will continue for at least another decade, maybe two. Rates will go negative in the U.S. and everywhere else.
Eventually the Fed and the Treasury will merge into one entity, and the nationalization (er, globalization) of the dollar printing machine will be complete.

I'm into photography too. This hobby can be expensive (esp. the lenses), but Bitcoin can take care of that. I kept postponing upgrading my aging equipment (Canon gear, but very old—body is a 20D, still works fine), but after my COVID-19 situation, there's going to be a serious reshuffling of my priority list. If/when this shit clears away, the first thing I'm going to do is buy a nice mirrorless body with a couple of good lenses. Below is one candidate (APS-C sensor, but I like the overall camera design), and also looking at the Sony Alpha mirrorless series (full-frame sensor).
FUJIFILM X-T4 Mirrorless Digital Camera
Enjoy it, it's an immensely rewarding experience.
The 20D is still a good cam, i had one too, it had pretty mild infrared-cut filters in front of the sensor, for nice long exposure within 1-4 secs for color-IR images.
Couldn't get under 20secs with the later D40 and 720nm filter, a nightmare. I bought a used Nikon D70 for compensating this caveat.
I have one mirrorless (two-thirds) body, an EOS-M converted for color-infrared photography. I can adapt all my EF/EF-s lenses to it and it allows to shoot much faster shutter times, sometimes too fast for that mellow IR look.
However, from my experience with this body, i can only urge to buy a mirrorless body which is BIG enough, like a standard DSLR. The EOS-M and most mirrorless bodies are too small to be held comfortably for longer times, especially with the heavier types of lenses mounted.
EDIT: The EOS-M is an APS-C, not MFT, sorry.

I'm strongly considering quitting my job, and doing something, anything else while living off crypto for the foreseeable future. This is the first day of work after a 2 week break, and instead of being "refreshed" and ready to work, all I can think is the break wasn't nearly long enough. Despite finding the work deeply unfulfilling, my job is stable and pays pretty well (a quick Google search says I'm in the top 97% within my state).
Probably the biggest thing holding me back is losing the structure that comes with the daily grind. I'm not completely confident I have the necessary self-discipline to create my own structure over the long-term, and while there are a lot of things I want to do (contribute to open source crypto software, write a novel, go back to school, etc), there's the non-zero chance I end up wandering aimlessly without purpose until wasting away.
Has anyone else gone through this or a similar thought process? This might be the only place (that I know of) with people who could relate.

You got to let go.
As a wise man once said, you have to create the empty space, to accept new things in your life.
The transition might get bumpy, but sure enough, you will find other points of interest. Actually things will find, you.
Also consider yourself lucky.
Most people don't have the luxury or the time to wonder what you just wondered, as they're too busy with surviving.
You on the other hand - you're just comfortable in your shackles.
Did you know that in Greek, working and being a slave is *exactly* the same (same root, different accent).
δoυλειά > job, task
δoυλεία > slavery
δoυλεύω > I'm working (aka being a slave)
