... i'm with jimbo, don't mess with Gordons and Schweppes, maybe a slice of lemon or lime.
... or cheese and pickled onion on a cracker.
Schweppes (props for correct spelling, btw.) cures a lot of blemishes when it comes to gin.
When you take the Gordons-on-the-rocks test and pass it with ease, compare this to a fine gin, you'll notice the difference.
I stand corrected on the spelling of Schweppes (I should have checked it) but I'll disagree with your assessment of Gordon's.
Gordon's (correct spelling!) is a fine gin but it isn't intended to be drunk straight, on-the-rocks, or lightly seasoned with vermouth and olive. It's at its best mixed with a tonic with enough balls to stand up to its robust flavor. Of course you want a more delicate gin for a martini or on-the-rocks.
I value your opinion, though i disagree still on the Gordon's being called a "fine" gin. But it's not much of an issue, really.
It makes little sense to argue about personal taste and preference.
Sure, it's certainly good if a gin comes strong, especially in a long drink or cocktail, to add definition.
It's like tequila. You don't use Patron or Don Julio to make a margarita. You drink them straight with a wedge of lime and some salt. For a Margarita you want something with more agave bite, like Cuervo Especial Gold.
Gotta try this/them. I think i never had any of these.
I just saw that between my two buys from yesterday, with roughly eight hours apart, the transaction code of the bitcoin broker i used was only incremented by 3.
So in 8 hours there were only three other buys! Price wise, i think we might go down for more. Seems almost everybody just watches or lost interest in BTC, from this perspective. I try to tage advantage, accumulation wise, i'm not bearish mid-term at all.
Of course, you are not to the level of Searing in your pessimistic expressions, yet I am still having some trouble how you could conclude either that there is a lack of interest in the buying of bitcoin or that the price is going down from here based on your scanty evidence. You have a broker, and the broker's bitcoin transaction count is low? Do you know the history of this bitcoin broker transaction count, and is the transaction count reflective of anything meaningful?
I was looking for similar low timeframes between buys and found the intermediate transaction count (per hour) was way higher than now.
There's only one point that has influenced the count for sure, it's the mandatory KYC registration since beginning of 2020.
This was likely to push down the count, but so low?
However, as it's a national broker, it clearly speaks for lack of buys in my country.
You can only transfer fiat from/to a national banking account OR use exclusive national ATMs. With the latter one needs an id (drivers license) to scan for using the service.
I am not going to argue if the BTC price is going to go down or up from here, and surely there is likely to be some dragging effects on bitcoin in terms of macro considerations of the stock market and the virus situation is not exactly getting better, so in that regard, we might get some additional downward pressures on BTC, but it's price direction is far from guaranteed, even if the stock market and the overall printer go brrrrrr phenomena might not be in the best of condition, either.
Agree. I am not really pessimistic, but optimistic for lower price possibilities or forming of a temporary bottom.
The ultimate breakout of pessimism, imho, was the mindrust accident that happened lately.
EDIT: Hit "save" three times until the "new post" warning disappeared. Now THAT's a transaction frequency i wanna see at the brokerzzz
EDIT2:
Trying to keep it short on the Covid19 topic:
Almost everybody seems to care more about the sick economy lately, instead of questioning it. Really pathetic, imho.
How can one think he is "free" when he (and everbody else) is dependent on inflationary economy, better descibred as wage slavery for most of the participants?
yups that's the real deal we're hearing now, everything else was pablum to keep the herd calm.
