bit ghey

For this purpose, I recommend these Swedish pattern logging boots, from White's out of Spokane, without hesitation.

hey, No fair!
Those are NOT my words in the quote..they are jojo's  .

Interesting thought: I could rig the flamethrower to shoot a 5 foot burst. That could work really well if I had to travel to say Florida: I was both following the law, enforcing the law, and standing my ground.

Hm......

OK..I need to start wearing them boots 

*sigh*

P100 respirator. Yes they look a bit silly (not so much anymore) but they do provide real 100% protection on particles down to .3 microns which includes this virus. And asbestos. I wear one when shopping as does the wife because if I come across a mouth breather like Pence I can be certain I will not die due to his stupidity.

Problem now is I have a limited supply of replacement cartridges. Yes the ones in the units are fine (and I only wear them around people) but when I was planning I was thinking NBC which would have a much lower half life problem then a stupid virus. On the positive side I have a huge stupid HEPA air filter here in the house I can cut up to make new filters for the cartridges.

I can see why the "Christian" dominionists would complain about wearing masks and distancing: Their idea of a proper apocalypse is for people to all turn on each other, ripping and rending so they can come out on "top" and be "in charge". People cooperating and helping each other screws that whole model up.

rifle butt to the face

then put the boots to 'em




this is why I don't go out...on advise of council

That requires the ability and intent to read, which is, sadly, becoming more rare these days.
Now, it's also the f-g Zoom.

Yeah again $8850

Yeah... fair enough, VB1001... Using yearly averages for comparison of each of the asset classes would be a decent kind of comparison attempt that attempts to take out some of the shorter-term price movement noise...

Based on looking at that chart that you highlighted regarding how bitcoin's yearly average had gone up from below $1k in early 2017 to something that is approaching $9k today, I am thinking that I might need to adjust my proposed starting point to attempt to make matters a bit more fair in terms of the ability of other assets to attempt to compete with bitcoin, that is surely likely to continue to be on an s-curve adoption phase.

Anyhow, personally, I am thinking that there could be some unfairness that favors bitcoin if we go back too far, because bitcoin is very likely in an s-curve adoption curve, while other asset classes are mature.. So maybe if we go half way up the 2017 curve, then that would be more fair for the comparison of bitcoin to other assets.. .maybe starting with bitcoin in around the $5k arena... and then go from there and see how it plays out.. Sure bitcoin is still likely to win, but at the same time, we don't really know bitcoin's future with any kind of certainty, either.. even though a lot of us who continue to be btc HODLers and accumulators are likely continuing to recognize the ongoing asymmetric bet nature of bitcoin;.. that is likely (surely not guaranteed) to continue to blow the other asset classes out of the water - even if we try to create comparison charts that give traditional asset classes a considerable degree of benefit of the doubt.

For sure, also, anyone who is currently considering to start investing in bitcoin, today, has to consider what are bitcoin's current dynamics (for example, is bitcoin in a bubble?) and go from current starting points, rather than presuming that merely because bitcoin has gone through great historical cycles that future cycles are going to play out very similarly as the past cycles.

Rabbit hole stuff. To be clear, finding it intriguing but pretty hard going.
What's wrong with blogs people? or even books? You're so clever, write stuff down.

Here is a real life situation for you...
Was standing in front of a window to deposit something (came out for the first time in a few days, apart from walking around)
The 'tard to the left (not a protestor) had his mask hanging at his belt while loudly proclaiming something...
I had some cheap mask on (as the pic said, potentially just 30% protection).
Did not pay much attention...but today have scratchy throat..took some vits, we shall see.

The question is: if someone mouth something close to you while having no PPE, what to do? Do I politely tell him to STFU, or do I tell him/her to move away or be silent (if retreat is not possible).
Or do i simply think positive thoughts?
Choices, choices.

Another choice are homeless, which are dime and dozen at the intersections.
As we know, at least half of them are infected.
Do I help a fellow man in a calamity or do I drive away, windows closed, AC turned on inside only?
What a bummer.

maybe will buy a chunk of btc...just in case.

Opposite direction corn

Thanks for that article, Lucky...   I like that comparing of assets by picking a timeline and starting from a baseline of 0%

I do have a bit of a problem with starting from the beginning of this year, rather than looking at the past few years, such as starting from early 2017 - as I mentioned in my earlier post.

Surely, I understand that there can be some relevance to starting asset comparisons from the beginning of this year, and in terms of short term asset class reactions to this pandemic and the various ways that the pandemic has been impacting the economy... But jeez... 2020 only has 4 completed months in it and we barely started on the 5th month and we are hardly even into this pandemic or its various impacts, even though politicians seem to continuously spouting out regarding how we have gotten past the initial curve, etc. etc. etc.

Yeah, maybe we have gotten past some ideas of social distancing and figuring out ways to treat the virus, but even from my lame ass layman's perspective, there are way too many unknown unknowns, and I am not going to believe any politicians who either already have shown to have a history of lying, and even when my lying eyes are seeing facts that seem to contradict with the lying words coming out of the mouths of various politicians who are continuing to paint exaggerated pictures regarding getting back to normal - even with the continued existence of a lot of unknown unknowns.

For example, easy shit... the manufacturing of n95 masks or something like that for the general population rather than pieces of cloth in front of our face.. you would think that modern industrial societies would be able to figure out ways to distribute those kinds of seemingly basic professionally made PPE to the population.. and they cannot even figure out the basic shit, and we are supposed to believe them that we are getting past the curve?

Don't get me wrong... I would really like the most rosey of limited negative economic impact scenarios to play out.. and we could just get back to a kind of "normal," and yet a central question for those of us who are either HODLing bitcoin or continuing to accumulate bitcoin (would be nice if mindrust could join us in as meaningful way in this endeavor) continues to be whether honey badger gives any shits... about these seemingly extreme exogenous events.  I am NOT trying to proclaim that bitcoin does not live in the real world, because it does, but at the same time, bitcoin remains in real low levels of current adoption, so it seems so likely to retain some resilience to being able to ongoingly grow, and maybe even stick with something close to the stock to model curve while traditional assets continue to have existential crises that involve really having to deal with the real world pumpening and abuse that they have experienced over the past 30 years or more... based on ever increasing sloppy monetary policy that more and more emphasizes that the solution to any problem is money printer go brrrrrrr..

To the moon  

Too much MSG.

On our way to the top, a good read: https://unchained-capital.com/blog/bitcoin-is-common-sense/

More or less as you say, but in part I wanted to compare the graph with:



To see if the average adjusts to 9K.

who you callin' a tard?

Interesting..
