You guys with your stacked terabyte HDD’s. I’ll stick to the 1.44 MB not so floppy disks, conveniently strung together with a little help of ARJ. Even has a read only switch for eternal storage. Who needs blockchains.
you techies with your advanced devices. pfffft
still rockin my TRS-80 and C64 cassette drives.
my Columbia IBM clone has a cassette interface too but i never used it. those full height 5.25 floppies were the bomb.
EDIT the TRS-80 also had several 8 inch floppies hooked to it at one point.

Simple (and possibly really "noob") question about exchanges:
When there is a big green (or red) dildo on the BTC/USD chart of an exchange (say, due to one big whale's move on that specific exchange), how is it possible for nearly all other exchanges, and even different fiat currency charts (BTC/EUR, etc.), to also reflect that move almost instantly? Shouldn't that specific move affect only the exchange in which it was made? At least in the short term?
It seems to me that all exchanges are somehow linked together, so that a move in one of them near-instantly affects all others. I wonder if there is an established inter-exchange system of price equalization (possibly a proactive measure to prevent arbitrage), or if the observed price equalization just happens naturally due to the global market itself (i.e., the "law of averages" taking place).
Have always wondered about this... Any insights appreciated.

Yes. It’s arbitrage.
Hairy has a bot on Bitstamp called Stampy, and a bot on Bitfinex called Willy.
When Bitstamp is higher than BFX Stampy sells and Willy buys.
When BFX is higher than Bitstamp, Stampy buys and Willy sells.
The point is keeping both BOTs well feeded.
Moving BTC from an exchange to another is trivial, Liquid (BItcoin private federated sidechain) helped a lot in that).
Moving FIAT from an exchange to another is less so. (in the above first situation Willy cannot buy until fiat liquidity is transfered from Stampy, he just has to wait for the second sictuation to happen to rebalance (it might never happen, thou).
It’s harder than it sounds

Not sure it's meant to make any noises. Maybe have that looked at?

3 trillion here, 3 trillion there
pretty soon...something something
profit?
Kind of interesting actually. At a certain point there simply are no consequences for the worst behavior. Almost as if you had a rich daddy giving you everything.pretty soon...something something
profit?
There used to be a saying round these parts. You didn't make a loss if you didn't sell. (bit like 1btc=1btc)
The same kind of applies for all this ridiculous debt. If you are never going to repay it is it really a debt?
1. The Fed buys the debt.
2. The Federal government makes debt payments to the Fed.
3. The Fed pays the government a special dividend of income from the debt payments.
4. Federal government income goes up, allowing debt to be repaid faster.
5. Everyone wins

Elon Musk is selling his two houses (worth about $40 mil in total) and saying, ostensibly, that he would have "no possessions" because:
1. he thinks that we are at a RE top
2. he became a "revolutionary" [after mouthing off something something about "fascists"]
3. he is moving to China
4. he is selling TSLA to some Middle Eastern sheiks and would move there (Dubai?)
5. he is moving to Mars
6. he merged with AI and is about to control us all
7. he is having a midlife crisis
8. he is using RE sales to fund his BTC purchases.
What's it going to be? Please come up with %% of probability if you like.

Previous halving rallies were 10,000% and 2,500%. What do we all think we will see this time?
The guesstimate from Dan Morehead sounds reasonable (and I’d take it):
https://medium.com/@PanteraCapital/macro-impact-on-bitcoin-pantera-blockchain-letter-april-2020-1fdc792d4f33
Quote
Each subsequent halving’s impact on price will likely taper off in importance as the ratio of reduction in supply from previous halvings to the next decreases. [...]
The second having decreased supply only one-third as much as the first. Very interestingly, it had exactly one-third the price impact. Extrapolating this relationship to 2020: The reduction is supply is only 40% as great as in 2016. If this relationship holds, that would imply about 40% as much price impulse — bitcoin would peak at $115,212 /BTC.
From earlier in the article: “IF history were to repeat itself, bitcoin would peak in August 2021.”
