Blocking Buddy
Philipma definitely busy to allow such occur.

pushups done him in

poor guy

I'm pretty sure he's already camped out waiting to vote on Tuesday

Early voted on Monday.

We had a car hit a telephone poll. We lost power. So we went out to a German Restaurant. I had four types of bratwurst sauerkraut
and potato pancakes. We then drove to Six Flags and watch the shows.

Got home and power is up 🆙.

watching SNL as I type.

Glad Kamala could clear her schedule for the dying legacy media channels and not Joe Rogan.
Roll Eyes

Horey Sheit.... that Saturday Night Live appearance of Kamala is pretty damned cringe.

Really not easy to watch the whole thing.. and surely it has a bit of a positive since it is deprecating, yet at the same time without substance... and I am not sure if it helps her to be more likable from folks who might be teetering between choosing her or Trump.

Many of us likely realize that Trump tends to hardly ever have any substance either, and he tends to just want to make every damned little thing about his ego-tistical lil selfie.. .. Though in recent times, his positions on bitcoin and various talking points behind the scene about bitcoin-related matters and concerns about government overreach are pretty damned specific and surely way more specific than anywhere close to what Kamala and her camp have been coming out with.... and another thing about Trump, he has likely gotten to be a pretty decent actor in terms of trying to appear like he is a likable guy and able to control his frequently dumb self-indulgent inclinations, so when push comes to shove, he does not even know how to control himself and his own ongoing abuses of power, which is likely part of the reason that hardly anyone is able to work with him... he is a kind of guy that expects one way loyalty, and yeah sure he may well pardon anyone who commits crimes on his behalf, yet you cannot expect Trump to be a man of his word in terms of having anyone's back on principle grounds rather than on grounds of how much the worship Trump... so Trump is able to fake it until he actually gets in power, then his true self-absorbed childish and petty ego comes out more and more and more.

Sure, Trump is able to pull off a 3 hour-ish conversation with Joe Rogan, yet we have to likely recognize that Rogan is hardly hostile to Trump...

Rogan tends to not be a lap-dog either, yet Rogan naturally already relates to Trump in quite a few ways, so Trump and his team likely already realize that prior to going into the interview and right from the get-go, Trump is pretty able to relax around Rogan.. and I would speculate that Trump would even be willing to appoint Rogan to almost any position that Rogan would be willing to accept.. though Rogan probably would not be inclined to accept any position, since Rogan's podcast is quite influential, powerful and even pretty much allows Rogan a lot of individual autonomy in regards to both content, lifestyle and possibly even being able to influence thinking of people which might still result in policy outcomes without his even getting involved in politics and/or government. I did listen to the 3-ish hour Trump interview on Rogan.. at nearly 2x.. .. so it was only about 1.5 hours of my time.

I am pretty confident that Rogan would likely be willing to give Kamala a reasonably fair shake, though I doubt that either she nor her advisors have been able to figure out a way that she might be able to be comfortable with Rogan, including if they might be able to get him to agree to certain subject matters or to stay away from other subject matters.. whether Rogan did that with Trump or not, Trump (and his team) were probably already comfortable enough with Rogan in order to take the chance that he would not overly pursue uncomfortable areas of inquiry with Trump...

So there likely is some need for anyone (including Kamala in this case) to feel that they are somewhat on the same page, and golly gee whiz.. it seems that Kamala is way less comfortable with being open to a variety of topics and then just stating how she feels about a number of topics.. while Trump is actually quite a bit better at exploring a variety of politics/presidential related topics now as compared to how stupid he tended to sound during his 2016 campaigning time and even though he was already a pretty well known public figure by the time he was running for president in 2016.

So yeah even though it is difficult to trust Trump and he lies through his teeth whenever he can, he still becomes much more relatable when he is able to carry out fairly long conversations with someone like Joe Rogan, and in recent times, he has done some of those kinds of long form conversations in other contexts, too... so he is not bad at winging those kinds of conversations and coming off as a bit of a normal and/or relatable guy, and perhaps even somewhat holding back a bit on some of his narcissistic tendencies...especially if he is somewhat kept in check, and even Joe probably helped to keep Trump in check since Rogan is/was already inclined to like Trump and not wanting to overly embarrass him within that context.

[edited out]

Good to know your alright... sorry you had to eat German food

edit: at least it was proabbly real meat unlike the skinless turkey "sausage" I got for breakfast. What even is that? I should revolt.

I get a little irritated when I see Turkey bacon as a substitute for bacon bacon... and it seems that there are some other meat varieties in which there is a claim that "turkey" is within the compound of food-like (or meat-like) food products that are contained in the product, to the extent that it is even labelled properly... ... and yeah, when we get to labels, there surely could be a role for government since it seems quite problematic if labels are deceptive about actual ingredients or that there is not disclosure about what might be contained in some products.. . .. and in the meat category, it can be scary if lab meat might be able to be allowed to be labelled the same as regular meat, and I am frequently bothered by the convolution of the difference between GMO and non-GMO.. or even the fact that some foods are irradiated but not necessarily labelled in regards to whether they have been irradiated... organic is another problem.. so even labelling can be quite a BIG quagmire.

Surely, "we" (more than just royal) are being psy-oped in a variety of ways... not just in the foods' category.

better sell your BTC for under 70k as long as it's still possible....
next week:
trump pump / harris dump ?

I don't like your advices.

Angry

Personally, I am inclined to think that bitcoin is going to pump either way, yet right around the election, we could well get a dump before getting a pump, either end of the result in terms of who is elected or what are the results of the various down-ballot races.. but who knows for sure about the various ups and downs noises along the way? and since when should any of us give too many shits about short-term BTC price moves?

As far as I see it (to the extent that my perspective carries much if any weight), we have largely been in no man's land, don't wake me up territory since about late February.. and yeah the bouncing around in these here parts has been lasting a long-ass time, but still... does not really seem to be any needs to get too excited about any of this, and surely in the whole scheme of things and taking into account so many factors and attempts at dumps that have not been working out so far for the bear twats (so far), it seems that the fact that we have been hanging out in this here particular BTC price range for so damned long seems more bullish than not.

Quote from: STINKYBEE on Today at 02:38:22 PM

here we have a Bitcoin price predictions from the renowned people, seems kinda like $100k is the bottom line in a pic tho Cool

What you gonna do when we get to $100k, stinky?

Seems like a BIG so fucking what to me, especially since currently, we are needing ONLY right around less than a 50% price rise to reach $100k..

And look at yourself, you have ONLY been registered on the forum since early 2024, so did you start accumulating BTC prior to 2024?

Or did you front load your investment?

If we use your forum registration date as a guideline in regards to when you got involved in BTC, I cannot imagine too many scenarios in which $100k should be making too much of a difference to such a bitcoin newbie like you potentially are.

Quote from: Japinat on Today at 02:54:20 PM

Down we go, HOLD!

Why not buy more? You got enough Japinat?

I can imagine that you might have enough. You have been registered on the forum more than two whole cycles, so it is possible that you have enough..

And in recent times, I had been suggesting that it is quite possible for a lot of normies to get into a position of having enough or more than enough in 1.5 cycles.. but yeah, it is not easy to overly generalize in regards to the particulars of any one of us.

BlackRock Buys more $2.4 Billion in Bitcoin This Week,

The World’s largest asset manager, BlackRock has reportedly bought around $2.4 billion worth of Bitcoins this week in preparation for the launch of its Bitcoin ETF offering. This massive purchase and another $300 million worth of Bitcoins gathered over just two days are some signs that BlackRock believes in the digital asset now. It has been changing the tide as institutional interest in cryptocurrencies is increasingly growing.

On Wednesday, BlackRock achieved a significant milestone in the Bitcoin ETF market, recording the largest inflows since the inception of these investment funds in January.

According to Bloomberg, approximately $872 million flowed into BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust on Wednesday, marking a daily record for the fund, highlighting the strong demand for Bitcoin ETFs,

BlackRock’s total holdings in Bitcoin now stand at 429,185 BTC, valued at approximately $31.04 billion. This accounts for about 2.04% of Bitcoin’s total supply.
The news source

First: You could use quotes, since those are all snipits from the article, so even though technically, the forum might not consider you a plagiarist (since you quoted the source), it still seem problematic that you are taking whole chunks out of the article without puttig them in quote..

yeah,.. I know other member do that too.. but still. Maybe try harder?

Second: a related point.. Do have any of your own ideas on this? One or two sentences of your own words and/or assessments would be nice.

Yes, I know other forum members do this too.. but still can we try to have some of our own personal integrity in terms of actually trying to say something rather than completely snipping from articles.. even one or two sentences would be a start to show that you have an actual brain... since bots can actually snip from articles and not say shit.. not saying that you are a bot, even though your post is coming off as close to if not no better than a post from a bot.

In your 1.5 years registered on the forum, you're already a Sr. member.. Do you just have bad role models? or are you unable to speak...

speak.. speak speak..

ruff ruff.

Quote from: Gachapin on Today at 03:33:08 PM

the selling could be in anticipation of Harris winning...

Are you a soothsayer? or a soothsayer wanna-beeee?

It's more or less a draw, no?

I thought that the convicted criminal Trump might have higher odds than the seemingly purposefully vague and amorphous one, but hey? I am not going to claim to have any great soothsayer insights, especially when it comes to getting into specifics of various aspects of the future.

I have a hard enough time trying to plan what I am going to eat in the future.. and expecting that what I plan will end up happening, even though it seems that I have some level of control over quite a few aspects of what I am going to eat and even potentially planning out my whole week of eating.. if I were to be able to potentially stick with a layed out plan and no one ends up "screwing it up."

Warren Buffett said:
"Bitcoin is rat poison squared."
Sure, but read below.

Bitcoin's rat poison,
And Charlie Munger's the rat.
One down, one to go!

UPtober goes green.
ChartBuddy goes up in flames.
Kind of like Trump's hair!

Rest in peace, Risto.
At least you've got your castle.
Van Gogh would be proud!

Not yet time for trains.
You'll know it when you see it.
Expect it this year!

Almost ATH.
Price pumped hard, but no orgasm.
Impregnation soon!

Ready the chopper.
Whoever the winner is,
The chopper's flying!
#7wodigestsundayhaikus

I hate to be such a curmudgeon.. especially when it comes to art.. but I could not resist.

There was some weird stuff in regards to Risto.. and I hate to have to look up actual facts.. especially since your castle reference is likely a kind of metaphorical castle rather than completely in the real world, yet sometimes references can become confusing since Risto was a kind of guy who seemed to appreciate a lot of drama and had tendencies to get into quite a bit of ongoing drama.. and so he would publicize aspects of his activities including purchasing of the castle and various of his projects and/or activities (like having his laptop with supposedly thousands of bitcoin stolen at some convention), and there was some drama around the burning down of the castle, like a year or two before Risto's death and Risto in and out of a mental institution that was related to his divorce too.. . ..so even the idea of some or all of the castle burning down (for insurance purposes?) does go back a bit to the various flame themes of chart buddy and even Homer's various emphases on flames in the past week.

I did have to back and verify your attribution of Buffet to the ratt poison squared quote (yes.. I did that extra "t" on purpose).. since I was thinking that Charlie Munger had made that statement about ratts... .. yet we also likely realize that Buffet and Munger would frequently be brought up together, including sometimes overlapping memes, but yeah, one of the contemporary Munger quotes from 2018-ish was about "crypto" being related to harvesting baby brains.. so essentially you seem to be factually correct in regards to your Buffet attribute.. ..
