CryptoTwitter. absolutely bonkers. peak tribalism and a lot of fun.

Sorry, what's CT?

Seeing that WO is a little on the "rough & edgy" side lately, allow me to add a soothing note to the mix:

Leonard Cohen - Villanelle For Our Time

Let the gentle music soothe your soul, and the lyrics touch your heart.

— Goodbye, Leonard, and thanks for bringing us so much light, wisdom, and healing.

uups, already out of merit. I owe you 5 merits !

today the dollar got stronger but bitcoin also was rising.  usually, when the dollar is strong bitcoin is falling and when the dollar is weak, bitcoin price rises. check the charts and look what happened in 2017 and also in the first half of 2020.

decouple from eth
decouple from dollar
decouple from gold
decouple from stocks

this will be fun.

I have to agree with Cryptotourist again... what a strange world to be agreeing with cryptotourist...

There are all kinds of possible levels of spies (governmental, hackers, attackers, private commercial, etc).. and surely most of the information has little or no value, but still problematic for peeps or entities to be getting this information without your explicit permission.. including that you might have more issues down the road because you had not anticipated how the information might end up getting used down the road by some entity that you had not anticipated (and you don't even know)..   asymmetrical in that regard.  They have information about you, but you don't have shit about them or know what they have about you, exactly, because you hardly even remember what you ate for breakfast.   #justsaying


That was following masterluc.. or whatever, just as well to have been anonymous.

mindrust knew so much based on his fear... did the wrong thing, and failed/refused to take mitigating steps based on his purported superior knowledge and fear that looks totally crazy in retrospect.  I tried to answer a similar question regarding how to act/react to these kinds of extreme unknowns in one of my posts from earlier today (actually less than an hour ago).  And, surely the answer is that none of us really know for sure, but we still should be attempting to act somewhat prudently and without rashness - especially based on BIG BTC price movements - that are somewhat within expectations, even if such BTC price moves ended up overshooting what we had expected.

Naturally, as a gentleman, I paid you the compliment of presuming that you named yourself after the immortal genius whose epic poems are hailed by scholars as the founding documents of Western culture—the non-ephemeral Homer who will be remembered in the future, as he has been remembered for thousands of years—instead of a popular fictional fad character made to brainwash the masses into believing that men must be fat, stupid, out of control of their own lives, and not only lacking in household authority but also, abjectly undeserving of it.  D’oh!  I can almost hear Marge sighing at my mistake, before she does something to fix the situation with her homely practical wisdom.


My contempt for modernity is not trolling!  To the contrary.

You misunderstood so completely that I am not sure how it is even possible (and if thus you are trolling me—touché, IHBT).  I was “trolling” sirazimuth over the CT/123 thing.  Edit:  And reviewing the context:  I wasn’t even criticizing modernity in the post that you very selectively (mis)quoted.  To the contrary, I was saying that old allegories can be adapted to the scenarios of new times.  Hypocrisy?  WTF?  Edit again:  Oh, so was your link specifically to an Urban Dictionary definition of “whore” intended to suggest that I be a hypocrite for finding timeless old stories relevant to new problems, but not chasing idiotic, oftentimes politically motivated fads in language?  If so, that is such an absurd confusion of concepts that I could not guess what you did not say.

Do you seriously suggest that, because I do generally despise the culture and worldview of modern times (i.e., about the past two centuries), I am a hypocrite if I don’t go full Amish?  That would present me with a false dilemma based on comically simpleminded, absolutely binary thinking.

Just because something is new, that doesn’t make it good—but that doesn’t necessarily make it bad, either.  Both fallacies are idiot-traps.  Moreover, only a fool refuses to use the tools available to him in his own life—if those tools can help him to achieve goals that are more important to him than the tools’ cost.

And by the way, speaking of newness—my contempt for modernity is not new.  E.g.:



In a modern world so absurd that I have almost wholly given up on satire, serious thought is mistaken for nonsense.

You can write a whole book about it but i'll kick the door straight away.

They are watching us because they are in a way our creators atleast according to Sumerian texts. The Sumerian texts was written in a language that was developed in ancient Mesopotamia and is the oldest known written language originated around 8000 BC.

They called them the ''the engineers'' ore sky gods other civilisations called them star/cloud people, giants and angels. (They are the ones who build all those megalithic structures) Those engineers seeded life on thousands of planets and have looked to learn about how life evolves in different ways including Earth in the hope that we too might one day reach their vast intellect to understand the universe to unlock the secrets of space travel and the after life and who we really are. They say that we are made from flesh and blood but our soul is made from pure energy.

They will return one day when we're are ready.

Damn in life there is always someone who has more https://i.imgur.com/rMhiSPb.jpg

I will settle for my dinner, today I open the fall season with a raclette, a good red wine.

Right now I toast and share a beer with everyone, take care.

what is your twitter handle? I can dm you his betting offer and maybe he is willing take more than just the bet with me. since it will be done via smart contract on bitcoin once it is set up, no cheating is possible.

W0rd.

That was a hilarious fight, this is another of my favorites.

That's a lot of suckers actually paying to be data-mined in the most invasive way. Pathetic.

Ancestry.com which made roughly 1 bil annual revenue was just recently sold to Blackstone for 4.7 bil:

The key to this very high price (wrt annual revs) is probably this:


That is about 20 cents per DNA record set. Resold to interested parties at $1 per record set a few times should result in a nice profit I guess.

If you ever used ancestry, you are now their product on sale, even though you paid for the service.

Good morning Bitcoinland

Still sideways... currently $10672USD/$14308CAD (Bitcoinaverage).

C'mon Bitcoin move up. I have to sell a little to pay month-end expenses.

Go Bitcoin go.


No freaking kidding. Invasion of privacy is what's criminal.

There is no freedom without anonymity. Identification is evil.

It's depressing how many people voluntarily post pictures and personal information about themselves on "social" (haha) networking websites. I guess their little lives are so insignificant they're starved for attention.

Some even go so far as to actually want to be famous. Fame is a bothersome price that is paid to acquire wealth.

The secret is to acquire wealth and success without fame. Go Bitcoin go!!!

That was very popular a year or so ago. But if you look on YouTube people are getting confusing results. When same person send it to few different companies to test it and get very different results . Companies also give you different kind of results. Some, but is more expensive, can also tel you to what diseases you are prone to. That would be a useful test. But question is how accurate they are and if false it would just give you more worries.

Good afternoon WO!
Observing @ $10,660

My sister offered me and my father a DNA test kit, the kind that will tell me I'm 42% this, 23% that, etc. Which in itself is total BS and very "unFrench".

Offering it to me and my father, she didn't realize it sent the message "there are doubts about your parentality". Probably because there is in fact no doubt, we look very much alike, have the same shade of grey-blue eyes, the same slight eye defect to the same eye...

Knowing I'm a fan of Agatha Christie, police procedurals, CSI, the concept of a perfect crime, she didn't realize I would never give my DNA willingly !

And nowadays that's not enough, you must convince your extended family not to do it either, which in my case is a daunting task as my family is very large.
