For those who were here during the glorious days of Carolina 2017, that's for you.
If you were there, here's the memories to go with the tingles, if you weren't, just get a load of what you missed.

Dang... I just bought the pump!  Is that crazy or what?

.

Yes! 10k € conquered (again)!

Thinking of the time when the numbers in our posts have one extra digit...

Man, it's just too mind-Bogdanoff-boggling to even imagine...

Shit, this run has some momentum. Seeing a lot of shorts getting absolutely shredded.

We're going to break $12k USD/BTC within hours at this rate.

good morning WOs



Please have your boarding passes at the ready..Carolina is leaving the station. Cocktails are now being served in the lounge car.    All aboard!

110 btc sell wall on stamp at $11799

getting eaten...

lol, bitstamp went up to €9999 ...


but I have the feeling we are going higher!

Looks like 10k € is coming very soon.

Unless we Bart.

Not so much a green dildo, as a mint butt plug.

But hey... us ants appreciate it.

WHAT IS THIS ?!

A PUMP FOR ANTS ?!???

Not into drugs. Not even into alcohol, despite the forum nick.

But...

I so vividly remember the very first time (one of the very few times) I've smoked cannabis. 1st-year uni student, in my girlfriend's dorm room (she wasn't even my girlfriend then), together with 2 more couples. Some lying on the bed, some on the floor, passing joints between us. Nirvana playing loud (on a cassette tape!). One of the best experiences in my life. I will never forget it. And her. Don't know where she is now. Wish I could meet her again. Sweet, kind, free girl.

Memories...

C'mon Bitcorn, let's break $12k/€10k today!

That's a pretty easy one... I should read ahead since it may have been answered better than I will.

But I would say the reason why is Keynesian systems basically work on debt and constant monetary inflation in the hopes among other things to increase velocity.  Case in point negative interest rates... a Keynesian end game measure that makes no sense until you understand they are useful to keep people from SAVING value.  At least in the monetary system that is run that way.  The encourage spending, and the creation of more debt which increases monetary velocity, and supposedly also creates better "wealth distribution".

Bitcoin on the other hand is at it's very core kind of anti Keynesian.  Absolutely hard with a known cap.  It encourages people to store value and save.  And would arguably decrease monetary velocity.  Paul Krugman is a Keynesian.  And he hates bitcoin because it goes against all of what he believes as the right monetary policies.

I am not saying that there can't be Keynesian bitcoiners.  Some people here are Keynsian whether they know it or not... But Bitcoin is definitely a polarizing force.

If you are a leftist you will find a lot of what Keynesian systems prioritize meshing with your values... It is also why so many libertarians got into bitcoin early.

The difference between Jesus and drugs is drugs are real.


Nobody is doing that except for you. Since you're big on editing peoples' quotes to make them say what you want them to say:


You've never tripped on LSD or mushrooms, you've never been to France, so there's no possible way you could know what its about more than someone who has. All the books in the world - all your personal assessments of friends who have visited France - are no substitute for first-hand, real life experience.

And I should know because I graduated from a fairly prestigious university with a neuroscience degree and worked in a number of laboratories/clinics; specifically relating psychopharmacology and psychiatry. I learned quite a bit about drug toxicity, which drugs effect what categories of neurotransmitters, dosages, psychological effects, etc. But nothing can prepare you for or educate you like the first-hand experience of trying a drug out for yourself.

I also worked with a professor who discovered the part of the brain which was responsible for safeguarding the brain against addiction. Certain types of drugs selectively ate away at this part of the brain (stimulants, MDMA and nicotine mainly) whereas others did not (marijuana, LSD, shrooms and just about everything else). Some drugs simply aren't toxic on the brain, including most hallucinogens. Among those who actually study the issue its been a long settled debate.


Funny, I've done both and I'm still not religious. If anything they've opened my mind to the possibility that maybe I don't know everything and I don't have it all figured out.

The problem is you are trying to lump all drugs (illegal drugs apparently) into the same category. It reflects no real desire to understand the differences between drugs, which are quite vast, and that's why you come across as an ignoranus.

Sure, doing too much of anything can be bad -- there's no denying that. But your approach of dismissing all drugs in any amount as bad is extremely narrow-minded and mainly guided by your usual arrogance... It's like what you don't know you think you can compensate for by being arrogant about it.

Alcohol is also a drug and far more toxic to the body and brain than marijuana, shrooms or acid -- that's an indisputable fact. But I suppose you're cool with it because its legal? What else could be your rationalization? People drop dead from alcohol poisoning every hour of every day. You know how many people have been killed by weed or shrooms*, ever? Take a guess.

Several of the world's greatest artists, musicians, authors, playwrights were inspired by psychedelics. I dread the thought of how boring the world would be without them.

As far as other drugs are concerned, some of the world's most famous inhabitants owe their inventions and works to them.

Thomas Edison - cocaine addict
Nietzsche - opium addict
Jean-Paul Sartre - mescaline enthusiast
Churchill / JFK / Ayn Rand - amphetamine users

Kafka and Huxley were both multi-substance abusers, Carl Sagan was a weed smoker; even Steve Jobs was partially fueled by LSD.

So the idea that doing drugs necessarily burns one's brain out is patently false. Can you burn your brain out from doing certain drugs? Certainly. Just like you can become a diabetic from eating too many peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. But we shouldn't castigate people for enjoying a sandwich every now and then.


* I left out LSD from here because indeed one dude overdosed on acid once and died. He found a baggie of it in powder form and thinking it was coke, snorted a line, inhaling 30,000 doses or something. He died of a heart attack an hour or so later. Regardless, more people have died from choking on sardines.

Nobody here said that drugs tell truths.
Especially the two "drugs" i referred to.
What they do is take the "filtering layer" of your ego away for some time.
Clearly, taking away a filter means expanding consciousness, doesn't it?
I explicitly take other drugs, especially amphetamines, opioids, tranquilizers out of this equation, but psilocybin and LSD (LSA) are none of what you think they are.

Now, the ego, the mental entity that keeps talking trash and showing you pictures of future and the past, keeps you from learning and developing your spirit (aka. higher self, or whatever one may call it), which is often reffered to as (uncontrolled) "inner dialog", clearly is a sign of (common) psychosis. The root of many mental illnesses like depression, anxiety, violent thoughts/behaviour, many other bad manifestations.
Now tell me, isn't that a clear sign of psychosis?
You and your likes want to tell me who is the retarded, schizophrenic type here? LOL

There's another aspect:
Life is a journey and you let other people tell you what to miss out and why?
Congratulations. But stop talking about "freedom" then.
If i don't harm anybody, i have the fucking right to do anything i want.

EDIT: re-reading my post i have to add that none of the above is meant offensive. There's just again, two opinions of us two, and i dearly hope we are both right
