What can I say guys... I'm humbled and thankful to all WO members, for the good vibes, the witty discussions, educating me about Bitcoin, the HoDLing culture which has now become my permanent strategy and motto, learning about some weird stuff I dare not speak about, and, of course, for proudly wearing an xhomerx10 original. You're part of my life now, and always will be, no matter if we moon or doom.

Diamonds are worth shit now. They can make them in the lab. That's the true warning

I wrote some long thesis papers in my earlier years, and I even had jobs that had required detailed (and sometimes extensive and lengthy discussions of various points).

Surely focusing on something that is already done (such as posts) could allow for less deviation into too many topics, which has tended to be one of my real world writing struggles, especially when I ended up putting together larger pieces of work that had required the treatment of multiple themes of topics (so far unpublished)...

In any event, you are correct with any kind of suggestion that sometimes there could be some value in ending up (or working towards) some tangible piece of work rather than just stringing together various threads of discussion within the interwebs.  So thanks for that possible angle.

Of course, if your death comes suddenly and unexpected then that would be a result that is within reasonable expectations; however, in my thinking there should be some desires to attempt to die with zero, or close to zero (of course, without over extending yourself in such a way that causes you to have to suffer in your old age).

So, if you are really young, you might not have any kind of realistic timeline in terms of how your demise might go or even when it might begin, yet sometimes decently old people also error on the side of overpreparing for calamity, when they should likely attempt to spend some of their wealth while they are young enough to have energy to enjoy it..

For example, I would think that it does not do a whole hell of a lot of good to be able to buy 100 hookers per day when you are 85 years old if you are having performance issues that you would not have had in earlier years.

Shhh, you're out of order, even suggesting this, is enough to trigger an anger spiral of reboots.

@JJG

Once you get to your 20th thousand post, with a bit of persistence right at the third halving, will you bundle them into a book? Or maybe even better a trilogy? Historians could study it for many years to come.

Arb is a natural occurrence of a free market and if the exchange itself doesn't set it up then it will be handled by profit seekers.

I got 8, like in my current laptop. It's sufficient for my uses, if i don't have more than hundred tabs opened in the web browser.
They didn't offer the 16GB model on discount, so i didn't care to take the bargain priced one instead.

Buenos dias Toxic.

Great spirits here. I don't usually start drinking in the morning but today mi amigo dropped by with a dozen Cerveza Bohemia Clara (4.7% abv vs. 4.9% for Bohemia Oscura). Yummy. Maintained 2 meter distancing. Beer has a way of finding its way through, even during an emergency.

Cinco de Mayo? Nobody GAF around here. It's mainly una fiesta Americana, although it is celebrated in Puebla, where the battle against the French occurred that it commemorates. In the rest of Mexico it's a non-event.

Makes me want to get some shitty tourist beer in clear bottles and maybe some Old El Paso brand processed junk food and sing Cielito Lindo and La Cucaracha.  

Tesla And Bitcoin Have More In Common Than You Think

Suddenly, I realized that even if BTC won't moon during my lifetime and I will die with my stash unused I won't regret it. I guess it's the highest level of HODL. 

I doubt that arbitrage is the full explanation because like you said, if there is large movement, then many exchanges do that at the same time, and arbitrage would prevent that from happening, somewhat.

But, I think that the concept of arbitrage and bots does play into the idea that there is a lot of realtime monitoring of exchanges by both bots and by real people, so when the price moves a lot on one exchange, people do not want to get screwed on another exchange because they did not keep up and they were overpaying because they did not keep up with what is going on on other exchanges.

Now sometimes some exchanges will get left behind or they will try to move the BTC price in one direction or another, but sometimes the other exchanges do not follow because they have likely learned (somewhat) from such trickery that happens by some exchanges that are either less liquid or less credible... but sometimes the activities on major exchanges will end up following the smaller exchange because the players might end up learning that the activities on the smaller exchange was contemplating a piece of information or news that the BIGGER players had not recognized or understood.

Of course, there can be a lot of advantages for those players who really are able to take advantage of how the compile and interpret information, and of course, with the passage of time, we expect some of the chicanery to lessen because more markets result in more liquidity and of course larger market cap becomes harder to move, too, but of course, bitcoin is still a small as fuck market (even while it is the BIGGEST of the cryptos), so hard to see major lessenings of the Bitcoin price manipulations and craziness for a couple more halvenings, at least, even if the tools (whether information or actual coin movement) and the quantity of capital is likely to continue to move in the upwards direction.

For sure, I am just speculating too, and I don't really have any ability to really understand details, either, and of course, many of the BIGGER players are going to understand these various dynamics a lot better, and sure even some of them are going to get screwed from time to time when they miscalculate what they think that their manipulating little asses can accomplish and then they get flanked by either some other BIG player or perhaps the masses at large do not end up buying into their manipulation attempts.

TIGER KING VACCINES WHEN? :-D LOL
