Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

Bitcoin ripping towards the all time high. We seem to be pressing up against the high end of this declining trading range. If this breaks out, we’ll be headed into new price discovery territory. It’s close to happening. No idea what will be the catalyst that sends us through the sellers, but I know I won’t be caught missing out on the face melting rally that is coming by setting sell orders now.

I can't begin to imagine the amount of turmoil Bitcoin will cause on all social media platforms when Bitcoin finally breaks out

I'm so excited 😅😅 I have a lot of my friends I need to laugh at

While it is indeed fun to laugh at doubters, remember that the best revenge is living well and killing with kindness is a good way to turn a negative into a positive. Instead of laughing at your friends for not getting rich with you, take them out for a nice night on the town and buy them a fancy dinner.

While i condemn low motivtations like revenge and making fun of poor people - be it mentally, monetary or both - i merited the post for pointing to the elegant alternative.
Good life is all about love and peace, and all your actions should be accompanied by one of those feelings. When it comes to re-acting, things are a bit different, because sometimes the most peaceful and loving human has to take and win a fight.
To come to the point: If you take naysayers and HFSP-people out to dinner, do in the mood of love and happiness.
Poor people just deserve compassion, we should show them some respect in this manner.

I don't really disagree with your overall points.. .even though some of them are coming off as a wee bit too much lovey-dovey woo-woo.

I perfectly understand that. But this is a one-sided view to it.

It seems to me that there remains a bit of a role for some antagonism and ability to argue points with a bit of rigor and even personal attacks (from time to time), whether we are referring to online relations or to in-person relations.

Of course, there are "acceptable" context-related boundaries too, and none of us should proclaim to be innocent from either purposefully or accidentally crossing over such context-related boundaries..

It's actually simple, and much less romantic or naive than it might look at first glance, as well as proven by many spiritual teachings, to mention Shaolin Kung-Fu (Gong Fu, actually) as a more serious and credible example.

Try to look at it like so: Every time you experience negative emotions (pain, grunt, hate and so on) you are attacking your own wellbeing. All feelings based off these emotions are limiting your quality of life. You can (if you practice) stay passive in regards of those feelings, to choose how you want to react right after. This mode of living can actually bring one close to (real) freedom, and it also gives one the neccessary judgement to stand and act above (inherited) moral understandings. That's also where romantic and the lovey-dovey woo-woo ends, because you have to deal with the consequences as well.
One can (externally) justify said negative emotions as much as he wants, but this will create even more events of experience unfree, negative emotions.
When we are grateful, helpful, forgiving, loving (...) we are actually giving much more to ourselves than to others, while not "giving away too much to others", if done right.
Most people are confusing this with dependance, and most time it's some sort of dependance that makes people acting like "giving", but they actually try to take something in return. That doesn't age well, typically.

I am not sure about how to employ the balance exactly, especially since there seems to involve free will and discretion in these matters that sometimes can be difficult for some folks to figure out where to play it, and surely any of us could become uncomfortable when we might get stuck in interactions that we don't really want to be in, and sometimes we might need to learn when to engage and/or when to remove ourselves from the interaction.. and I don't claim to always know how to employ such discretion (whether in the real world or online) since there always is a bit of a moving target going on, too.

As stated above, "free will" is bound to taking consequences.
But for the interactions part, you can mostly trust your feelings and walk away in peace, if i have understood your argument well.
We are deciding for ourselves in which interactions and relationships we want to be (stay) in, but most times we are just not brave enough to respect our true needs, because we fear the consequences or blindly follow some bullshit morale codex.

This is a huge discussion between all kind of ethics and cultures, it also was at the roots of christianity, until the church fucked over the original christian messages to slave the people, but now we get way out of topic (in an out-of-topic topic) Cheesy

I am not a hippie (or like that) but i refuse to feel bad because of my own decisions. Actually we meet a lot of decisions every day, considering judgements are decisions too. "This dude pisses me off", "I hate pink people", "I love getting put down by my wife, because that gives me her attention"... Should i go on? Theoretically, with a few exceptions, you can quickly change yourself just by monitoring and altering your decisions, and life will react to those actions through consequences. Most people to decide the same, every fucking day, and cry that their life is so unsatisfying.

Shit, now we're even more off topic, so i'll end it here.
Think about it and you should get a good idea. You can always decide to keep thinking about it the same as before Cheesy
