Ok... ok.. ok.. I gotta do Phil's job too.. with a Buddy Sandwich at this hour?
Gosh. What a world? What a world?
What you doing Phil? Sleeping? or maybe you are doing your pushups?
Anyhow... don't you know sleeping
(and even pushups) is
(are) overrated? even for old foggies?

so was that it for this year?
Yep. We're done. We're going back to $70k.
*blows out the candles*
*throws the cake away*
Bitcoin is dying again, see you at the funeral.
EDIT: No stupid, it's weekend. Institutions don't buy on weekends.
Not that I give too many shits, but it seems to me that from time to time, even since January 11 of this year when the BTC spot ETFs started trading, we have been having some pumps on the weekends..
Last time I checked bitcoin trades 24/7 and it is not dependent upon institutions for each and every pump and sometimes even seems to teach lessons to institutions in its own ways...but yeah, if you want to buy into a theory that bitcoin has been ONLY pumping during normal business trading hours in the past 11 months, then surely I have my doubts about your interpretation and recollection of recent BTC price dynamic matters.
And that guy Gachapin is not stupid. He is retarded.
(I had to get that one in there, just for funzies)It feels like I'm repeating myself, bringing up lightning in every other post, but I think this is worth sharing.
This last month has been my best routing month ever since I set up this node, a bit more than 2 years ago.
I've made about 500k sats in profit this month, or about 1% APY. Looking back, I'm at about 0.25% APY since I started.
If I can keep this pace up, it might actually be worth it running a routing node, more than just a hobby.
That's awesome! What implementation are you using? LND? Would love to discuss in a DM as it's kinda off topic here.
I would proclaim that almost nothing is "off topic" here except perhaps pumping shitcoins.
Elaborate "everybody in the WO is back to whining again", please

Something something "You must be new here"
Good one.
Of course, anyone who has been around these here parts for more than a minute should appreciate that you, Torque, are a self-proclaimed full-time whiner, especially on the topic of being manipulated by the powers that be.
Accordingly, you never saw a conspiracy that you did not like, especially the numerological ones are near and dear to your heart..

I dunno about I’m the opposite I’m extremely exuberant at all the price movements atm. Maybe that’s a product of being in for less time. I do understand what your saying too, but I dunno it’s nice to feel excited now and again and to give yourself permission to be excited too

Snap out of your young whipper-snapper levels of cccccccittteeeeeeee..
Ain't nobody got time for such optimism, in these here parts..
Don't u know nuttin?
Of course, not.. you are newie pooie.

a little over a year ago we were hoping for page parity... how quickly things change
Still talking about page parity? Come on man, it's 2024... nearly 2025 already. That's not a thing anymore.
We should start talking about
post parity instead.
You sure?
We might risk JJG answering individual posts one by one again
Ain't nobody got time for that.
And, don't be trying to use reverse psychology on me, either.

By the way, historically, there have been times where some of you guys
(not going to be mentioning any names) were not pulling your weight in these here parts.

...poor JJG... he is such a pure soul
I'm gonna record that statement in my database... just in case I want to reflect upon it at some later date.

That statement might only be half correct

Too late.
Already recorded. You don't get off that easily.

Remember when parity with an ounce of gold was a thing?
I remember chuckling about the pipe dream that someday there would be sat<=>penny parity.
We are about 1 10x away from that..
Bogglesome.
well lets be blunt 1 dollar a sat by the year 2030.
We can do 1 penny a sat in 2025 or 2026
we can do 10 cents a sat in 2028 or 2028
It could happen, but it surely is not realistic..... maybe less than a 2.135817% chance. .and of course, I am spit balling in regards to odds.. a lot of legs of up and down and "things" that would have to align.. whether knows, or unknowns or variations of the knowns and unknowns as itemized by Donald Rumsfeld.
