Out of all the BTC I have ever “bought” with $, 30% of it (in $) has been this year @ $16k..
I bought $50 worth on cashapp just for fun.. Heh..
I also bought $100 worth in 2017 to help someone out..
This year I also bought a couple miners to flip with $ and paid shipping in $ but sold them for BTC, so that’s kinda like buying a little BTC too I suppose in a round about way.. Made $60 profit..
I’ve done that a couple times but insignificant amounts..
Thinking about buying BTC now blows my mind..
I know it’s probably a good investment but with the prices now I have probably burnt thousands of $ worth of BTC when 100k sats meant nothing..
I’ve probably spent $20k at today’s prices just in exchange and TX fees..

Those who were inclined to sell instead of hold will likely have sold to Fortress Investments or one of the other large companies who've been buying up claims at a massive discount over the last couple of years.
Andy Pag who was the organiser of Mt.Gox Legal sold has claim to one of those vulture companies. He had a claim for around 105 BTC, for which he received a mere $63,000.
Had he held, his claim today would be worth at least 15.75 BTC+BCH (~$454,000) plus a cash component worth around $46,000.
Side note, it's stated in one of the docs that the trustee will dump all other forks for cash. Wouldn't want to be jbreher right now!
Two weeks late, but I don't think this has been posted yet (sorry in advance if it has)
It was.
Easy to miss in this monolithic thread however.

I thought I saw what looked like a similar robot being used by US Airforce on their base. One purpose was a roving patrol. So it's like, literally, a watchdog. It goes around for a few hours, then goes home to it's doghouse to recharge. A few robot dogs do this rotation all day and the base has all day and all night robot dogs doing sentry duty.
If anything topples them over, that raises an alarm and the other soldiers come in to investigate.

Looking at the Boston Dynamics recent video, I can't help thinking how shotgun resistant these things are or will be.
I'd love to find out, and probably will, but for now drones will have to do.

plenty of options.
There are also slugs. I mean, typical 12 gauge barrel is 0.727 inch diameter. That's gotta put a dent in any of those machines unless they are armor plated.
My thoughts exactly, a shotgun slug that can take down a wild bore will most likely take down a robot as well.

What will change my life is when 1 BTC > $10000. Then I will be gaining hundreds of thousands of $ (€ in my case). At that point (if we ever get there -- and I hope and believe we will), I will sell some (but not all) of my 15 BTC, enjoy my earnings, and still be in the Bitcoin rocket on its way to the moon. I do believe and speculate that this will happen and I expect this to take no longer than 10 years.

EVERYBODY needs to submit comments on the Fincen regulation that's being forced through. The comment period was only 15 days, over Christmas and New Year's. It's a transparent ploy.
When this regulation goes into effect you won't be able to withdraw crypto from exchanges the way you used to. It's going to be KYC up the @$$. You will have to lube up and bend over. For any and all crypto withdrawals of any kind, you have to provide name and address of the receiver.
The comment period ends January 4.
The rule will
require banks and money service businesses (“MSBs”) to submit reports, keep records, and verify the identity of customers in relation to transactions involving convertible virtual currency (“CVC”) or digital assets with legal tender status (“legal tender digital assets” or “LTDA”) held in unhosted wallets (as defined below)

"The proposed new rules impose unprecedented financial surveillance on many people like me who are participating in the crypto economy for legitimate purposes. The new requirements also mean that more personal financial information belonging to me and those I transact with will now be collected and retained by the government."

I see we're dancing around WOPCP again.
Let's get up over $30k, keep going, and settle this thing once and for all.

This is Bitcoin 29k compared with Bitcoin google search, and it will be sweet if things continue to go this way and trend goes up more.
Be ready for anything in Bitcoin market
I suspect This Time Is Different(TM) in this regard, too: google searches should correlate less than they used to, because most of the public is more aware now than they used to be in the 2017 bull. I might be totally off track, though.

I'm guessing that in order for all the motors, servos, actuators, etc. to work with any sort of nimbleness and efficiency and to preserve battery consumption, they had to use extremely light weight materials (both structure and cosmetic). Which of course precludes them for military use on the battlefield, because they can be rendered inoperable fairly quickly by simple, well-placed small arms fire.
I'm sure that the U.S. MIC is somewhat irked by that ironic revelation.

MacLeod's latest
Leaving the Bitcoin Vs Gold discussion aside, he is really tying his credibility to a currency event occurring soon. Perhaps there are supporting factors like the FED hiding obvious jumps in money aggregators just like preventive hiding of the M3 numbers in 2006 just before Quantitive Easing. Is he taking a brave but perhaps foolish position?

Excellent read, thanks Wekkel.
Echo chamber gung-ho and btc fanatism aside, the scenario portrayed is gloomy but plausible. If all the predictions made in that paper come true, there will be gangs of starving bandits raiding cities and country. The citadel model - à la Snow Crash - cannot hold, unless we develop and deploy atomic guard dogs soon (Boston Dynamics, hellooo?).
I hope he's only half right. Even with bitcoin to the moon, we might be better off in a world that still makes sense.
2021 will be as interesting as 2020. Let's hope it leads us in a different direction.
