Bullish developments in the last 24 hours for King Bitcoin.
With Pete and Amy dropping out of the race and along with Beto all endorsing Biden, Biden has moved up in betting markets to overtake Bernie as the front runner.
https://www.predictit.org/markets/detail/3633/Who-will-win-the-2020-Democratic-presidential-nomination
Biden is more Bullish for King Bitcoin imo bc Bernie favors communism over capitalism and we have seen how harsh communist nations have been to Bitcoin.
Out of only 4 communist nations on the globe, two, China and Vietnam, have both banned Bitcoin for a means of payments. China has also banned its financial institutions from handling Bitcoin transactions.
A White House controlled by communist idealogues would likely be hostile to King Bitcoin. Biden is a centrist and would not rock the boat. He might be friendlier to Bitcoin than Trump even.
Could Bernie still win? Absolutely, but he did just go from a massively heavy favorite to a slight underdog and thats a big improvement.

Risk is a statistical measure, e.g. the expected loss of a strategy, asset or portfolio.
Not quite. Its the probability that a gain or a loss will differ significantly from what is expected.
Oh great, the 'ol "appeal to authority." Out of all the logical fallacies I did not expect that one first.
The definition of risk in finance is and always has been the expected loss with regard to some measure, or in other words: the expected value (or integral) of some loss function that is defined by your strategy. This is not a probability, it's a value. A value which can be positive, negative or zero to indicate respectively the average loss, profit or no change over many repetitions of the same strategy.
Let's use a more definitive source:
Okay, I'm willing to concede that they do not imply one another 100% of the time, but as a general rule of thumb, they do.
No, they do not. Risk exclusively a measure of your proposed strategy. Volatility is a market phenomenon that does not in any way depend on your strategy.Volatility can be used as a measurement of risk, however incomplete it may be. I feel like you didn't even take a look at this link I posted earlier, which provides a good summary of volatility vs. risk:
Yes, you are. The asset doesn't move perfectly fitted to a "constant trajectory," you said so yourself. A rocket moves at a "constant trajectory." Stocks don't - not even fictitious examples of stocks - unless they completely lack volatility. In your example, you can only be talking about the trajectory of a price as being defined by its moving average. If its not, its not "constant."
No, I'm still not talking about moving averages and you are still completely misrepresenting what I've said.How so? It seems like you are altering the definition of the word "constant" to suit your purposes. A measurement which faces any sort of volatility cannot be constant. It can only be constant on average, not in its actual movement.
You can have a perpetually flat asset with high risk, or you can have highly volatile assets without any risk (Bitcoin - which does not mean that you are guaranteed to make money).
No, you can't. "Perpetually flat asset" implies zero volatility and zero risk. How do you lose money on something whose value never changes?
Every single asset on the planet faces this exact same risk. There is no chance of losing money in this example (outside of the same meteor event that could wipe out all investments), thus it is zero risk.
As I've already said, in finance the risk of a strategy (e.g. "buy Bitcoin") is the expected loss of that strategy. This is a statistical measure. And because Bitcoin's potential returns are so extreme this becomes an example of an asset with negative risk, e.g. expected returns, despite not guaranteeing any profit.
Okay. If that's the case, all I've really learned here is that your definition of risk is useless.

Why are people stocking up on food anyway? this is not that kind of event. A solar storm or EMP that knocks out all electronics would be that kind of event.
It's not like the government would leave you to starve to death if you are quarantined, either the military would organize handing out of food or they would organize some kind of mobile groceries van or something like that.
It would make sense to have food for a couple of days before everything gets organized, but that's all.
I mean if we can get food and water to people and areas that are totally snowed in in the winter, I think we can handle this.

government to the rescue? where do you live?
the last couple "hit the fan disaster" times that i went through worked fairly well for us, just minor issues that dry runs didnt catch (poor testing on my part).
ive since tweaked a bit and also factored in a few more things, as this time is a bit different in some aspects.
BTW not a doomsday prepper or anything , just my pappy learned me some things.
EDIT: the one that my dad said that stuck most was "if you dont have it, you dont have it."
odd as that may read

I just woke up to some of my buy orders getting filled. Here is a fractal that may play out. I am not expected a V bottom in any case.
This chart I posted weeks ago has Bitcoin bottoming next week( who knows really ). I need to update the chart, the movement is rhyming with the previous fractal. The big green line is the phase 2 trend line around 7k.
Looks like it followed the last fractal with some exaggerated moves. Here is where we are now.

I'm not getting it... I might have missed some old post this one relates to. What's that about? Is it by any chance connected to your proud achievement of a double bean flick today?
The haiku itself is beautiful. Pity for the messed up syllable count.

I live about 2.5 hours from the closest "Costco" type of store. We usually get supplies for a few weeks at a time when we are there so this time we just got a bit extra just in case.
The thoughts being that if things start getting bad people will flood the grocery stores. There is not much food grown in Panama so it is almost all imported (strangely enough, people always poo pooed the fact that our small 6 meter wide seastead did not produce all of the food we need while full nations do not produce food). If they are importing it from places that get locked down or whichever, then food supply runs low.
Fortunately there is fruit growing on the trees and we bought fishing supplies. So we bought food that goes well with fish and fruit.
If things get really bad we jump on a sailboat and go to the ocean.
Speaking of...the next video in "The First Seasteaders" series is out.

Just texted with a friend, the groceries in Seattle got wiped out yesterday. Silly normals, why pay for food when you can just split the skulls of your neighbors and feast on the tasty goo inside?
I'll have mine sunny side up please.
Eggs ’n’ brains is a breakfast meal consisting of pork brains (or those of another mammal) and scrambled eggs
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eggs_and_brains
I remember ordering brains and eggs at a diner in Kansas City.
My exact words were, "I'll have scrambled brains."
Truer words were never spoken.
