Fuck work.

If I ever get to get married one day, no way I am letting my kids to be slaves. Fuck that. If I am not going to get what I want, I'd rather die single and without kids.

Entering 8th year as a working man. I know how hard it is to make money by working legit. Fuck this shit.

Got angry

FYI: I'm living "the dream" at a price. I'm pretty separated from the rest of the local population by interest, opinion and intellectual qualities. Still, i try to see people as equal, by the way. I was quite successful in the IT industry, even had a small number of employees, which where more like colleagues than working slaves for me, i worked my way up to there from zero, literally after quitting school at 17 and being thrown out of home by my mother because of it. By the age of 37 i got ill, by a four week lasting flu, followed by severe fatigue and brain fog. This was the end of my working life. We do have good social insurance here, but i had to fight for it, over the course of three trials at the court. The oldfashioned, retarded neurologists didn't know shit about Chronic Fatique Syndrome by then, and at the same time, the well known Burnout Syndrome was a fashionably, common diagnosis for IT workers, so they diagnosed me for that, but their therapy and medication just made it worse. Then i learned by myself how to cope with and threat CFS, and after some more years i am at a state of subjective 50% physical fitness, but still some part of my memory is not working right: the so called working memory. It's not easy to get around the day with that, but i tend to think positive, that's why you all had mostly read about the positive aspects of my private life, now you also know about my lifes "other side of the coin".
Writing and constantly editing a post of this length, so it makes some sense in the end, usually takes me around 20 minutes.

Living the dream?
Well, kind of, but not really.

Close of the weekly candle is coming in about 5.5 hours (as I type this post), and that closing of the weekly candle has seemed to have been affecting BTC price movements in the past months.

Is this week different?

By the way, even though trade volume tends to be a bit lower on the weekends, the trade volume this weekend seems to be even lower than usual, which causes any increase to be noticeable but also could contribute to a sizeable explosive movement (in either direction).

volume increased, we are going up slightly.

Things are changing in Austria too. A1 -  The biggest Austrian telecommunication provider now accepts Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies for payments. They started to accept crypto this month. They accept it even in Graz - city, where Schwarzenegger was bodybuilding.

I will take that comment as humor, whether intended or no.    


 

Jay, with all due respect, if you ever did a podcast, please post the link in here...I have trouble sleeping....

Countryside of Austria, the motherland Arnold Schwarzenegger left because of the limiting stupidity i was writing about.

I had noticed that I had been using that word quite a lot recently, too, so admittedly maybe I have to become more proactive about word-choice variety, including that particular word?  

Hahahahaaha


That's a funny story, and surely a rendition of the real world, maybe even moreso in less urban locations.  I believe in urban locations, you are more likely to run into some people who are receptive to the idea of bitcoin, and maybe some of that has to do with accessibility of a number of other people who are also involved someway in bitcoin.

I am not exactly any kind of bitcoin evangelist in the real world, but if someone shows interest in bitcoin I do become somewhat animated over the topic, and I have given decently strong hints to a large number of real world acquaintances and relatives that it would be prudent for them to take some kind of stake in bitcoin, and surely the more that they ask me about the topic, the more details I will be willing to share, regarding investment strategies and even describing what I believe that they should do, in light of my own experiences.

A little less than two months ago (maybe mid July), I was sitting at a table with a bunch of mostly nocoiners (and surely some some of them were precoiners).  There were about 10 guys (including a few gals too) at the table, but from time to time there would be some circulation in who was sitting at the table or who was standing at the table and drinking too.   There seemed to have been a decent amount of interest in the bitcoin topic, but they frequently got diverted into joking status, and even getting mixed up with bitcoin and other coins that they had heard about, and I would frequently have to suggest not to get mixed up in their heads or their thinking with any attempt to include various shitcoins in the discussion, because I was mostly referring to bitcoin when I spoke, not the various imitators that exist out there.  There was one guy who was quite a bit more vocal than the rest who seemed to "know everything," and he would frequently challenge me on any kind of statement that I made in terms of the greatness of bitcoin as an investment.  He was probably close to the oldest of the group, and relatively financially successful including having had been decently well traveled, too.  I remember several times telling him how he seemed to know so much about bitcoin even though when he spoke, I could tell that he did not really seem to know much of anything about it.. but at the same time, he seemed to want to spout off about the poorness of the investment and making a lot of inept comparisons to other possible ways of getting rich by making good investments in some stocks that had been successful for him in the past.    Anyhow a lot of this discussion was made in good fun because we were all drinking and just batting around various random topics that included my throwing in some bitcoin insights from time to time.   

A couple of guys had mentioned that either they wanted me to help them with their investment into BTC because they had no clue about what I was talking about, even though it sounded good or that I should do a podcast.  Hahahahaha.  Regarding the podcast, I said that there were a lot of really great podcast that already existed out there, and I don't really want to get involved in that bitcoin podcasting scene when there are plenty of other people who are more than willing to do it and do a good job.  Regarding helping people, I said that I would help anyone who wanted help, but I was not going to invest for them, and they would need to take their own responsibility in getting set up, but I would help them if they wanted me to help them.   I did not hear from any of them, so far, regarding getting my help with bitcoin matters.

JJG is truly a decent fellow.

But the unedited version is stronger IMHO, the war on drugs line makes for a tidy kigo.

Kicking the ant heap for probably the final time. Another message relayed:

(Fwiw, not Shelby's sock puppet. Try checking my posts over several years - but you'll believe what you want to believe ultimately)

Let’s depart with some useful information...


The exit tax for U.S. citizens only applies if you have more then $2 million net worth. It has onerous implications such as 10 years of ongoing reporting to the IRS when you’re no longer a U.S. citizen.

There is one potential loophole. Currently there is a lifetime $11 million gift tax exclusion, so you could in theory gift your wealth to someone who would gift it back to you after renouncing. Note gift taxes laws in other countries are a maze, so you need to be careful if you gift to a non-U.S. citizen.

But given the Wiemar Republic collapse the West is ostensibly descending into, probably the governments will come after you later and claw everything back because you employed a loophole. Civil Asset Forfeiture means if you sold Bitcoin, later Bitcoin is tainted by illegal activity, the government can take your house not because you did wrong, but because Bitcoin did wrong. This sort of insanity is coming to the West.

Don’t feel so smug if you’re European. The EU is coming after you with a new wealth tax proposal which will apply even if you’re not a resident.

The West is going to confiscate all the private property. This is what Westerners do to themselves at the end game. Again the Wiemar Republic (and currently Argentina) are potentially examples of where the West is headed over the next decade or two.
