Can you imagine a weasel eating his daily McMuffin and trying to sip at the overly hot coffee...

Excellent lay-up for homer’s next post indeed.

Later I realized that I slipped up though because I did not continuously emphasize the "little weasel" angle, and so you know what the little weasel did? He convoluted his image into a BIG weasel.

Sneaky little devil.

You were right all along about Homer, he can sometimes be a slippery fello.

If you look back Antisthenes, you would likely realize that "respect" was going to DirtyKeyboard rather than to me, even though you seem to be referencing this here cat.

That’s a big *if* you fagot bot.

Like this?

Not that your opinion matters very much, since so far you have expressed your best of buddies as the dweebs of the thread, such as exp.

Well not to you it doesn’t, dah.
exphorizon brings value to the table, something the bunch of you can’t come even close, combined.

It does seem odd that you guys seem to be the bestest of buddies.

But whatever works, no?

Early 2020/covid taught me a lesson to not count the spoils of bitcoin investment too early.

The last three years have taught me to not trust anyone or anything that I thought I knew.

Hopefully you are not turning into some Greek (or perhaps Turkish?) variant of Theodore John Kaczynski

~ Binance ~

Here, have a quote:

Quote

The problem with that ****, is that you’re talking about a direct 51% attack on Bitcoin. In reality, Bitcoin is under “constant 51% attacks” meaning that there is a plot twist involved – that being all the other junk “coins”, creating their coins out of thin air, pumped and dumped with the aid of dubious exchanges with zero to little liquidy, and then converting their proceeding profits to Bitcoin and consequently FIAT. I like to call it: “a side chain covert 51% attack on Bitcoin”, with Binance being the main attack facilitator, and the added bonus being the flock of sheep that support this.
Human greed at it’s finest!

Does that mean that "we" are cheering for the US Govt because it is beating up on Binance with a $4 billion fine settlement... or maybe we wished that there was not a settlement because the US Govt is continuing to allow Binance to operate?

I doubt that clear lines can be drawn in terms of which parts are supposedly "attacks on bitcoin."

Good riddance and I hope they drop CZ in a hole a few years.

Ain’t happening, but Kiss

It seems correct that CZ is not going to be going anywhere, but he surely seems like an ongoing villain and kicking bag from a lot of angles. Must be a bit stressful for him, and he probably has to live with a decently-sized security detail, even though he claims to live a humble life in terms of not consuming extravagances... I am not really sure if what he claims is true, and people are not necessarily locked into lives of deferred gratification, especially since if he wanted to, then he could afford to live quite extravagantly in spite of the loss of so much of their exchange volume recently and also pretty humungous fines being leveled at them.

I like what you guys are doing, I must say - it removes some workload - thanks.
One posts the trigger, and the other one answers it. Too bad that I’m triggered by everything you write.

Welcome to the WO family. You are precious in your own right. You go girl!

[edited out]

However, the number of adoption all over the globe is not that bad only that the number is not as much as many bitcoiners are exaggerating it. And it's pretty much to note that a greater percentage of entire bitcoiners are people with not much soaring income flow that could have 25% of their income invested in bitcoin even if they chose to go aggressive about it.

I am having some troubles understanding what you mean because surely the world-wide adoption of bitcoin is likely quite low, maybe even less than 1% of the world's population has bitcoin in any kinds of meaningful amounts. Sure, there might be some segments of the population and even some areas in the world in which BTC adoption is greater than others, but what is their allocation into bitcoin? 25% would be rare.

Another thing might be how much someone might invest into bitcoin, but then if the BTC price changes, then how much does their bitcoin allocation change relative to other investments that they have.., So there can be differing kinds of questions regarding whether to put into bitcoin, and then if so how much to put into bitcoin and then what to do if BTC prices appreciate at rates that are different from other things that they might have in their investment portfolio (if they have other things in their investment portfolio).

I doubt that there are very many ways to generalize except to likely suggest that there are a lot of people who remain no coiners and even amongst the people who have some bitcoin exposure, there are likely a decent number of them who are relatively low coiners or maybe even distracted into shitcoins and not realizing that there are significant/meaningful differences between bitcoin and shitcoins.

And, why do we care what other people are doing anyhow, except maybe we might be attempting to gauge how early we are to bitcoin? and sure it might be interesting to try to figure out what other people might be doing, and sure what other people do might affect what we do, but if we have some ideas about bitcoin, then we might consider that there are the variety of the network effects (considering the 7 network effects by Trace Mayer) that might be considered in terms of attempting to get some ideas about areas in which bitcoin related growth might be taking place.. but those categories of Trace Mayer are kinds of general too, so there might be some value in terms of getting into analyzing some of the categories in more detail if there might be doubts regarding the extent to which bitcoin is still growing and if it affects how we might choose to manage our own bitcoin allocations, as compared to other things that we might have in our investment portfolio, which seems to be more important than thinking about what others may or may not be doing in regard to their own bitcoin adoption/investment/use.
