@CryptoJelleNL
Retest held, and Bitcoin is bouncing as we speak.
Push beyond $112k and the initial target is $120k, with higher-timeframe breakout targets between $140-150k.

Could get interesting soon 👀

GM gentlemen, let’s hope it’s a great week. Bitcoin bubbling away nicely, boiling point soon.

Are you suggesting that we are getting a new ATH on or before the end of this month (June) and/or are "we" going to make it to $120k? And then the $140k to $150k would be within the next month or two after June? Something like that?

there is a number to show poverty in the usa.
do not know what it is.

and it varies if you live in NJ,NY,CT tristate area to live in a house with a family of four 100k is enough but not really great.
But that would not be poverty level that would be lower middle class.

I think poverty varies from 20k to 40k depends on the area you live in.
a new york city apartment under 2k a month is basically not to be found.

Sorry philipma1957, I'm wasn't trying to one up you there. I was working on my post for a while trying to create that table and fill it out.

We might be a bit distracted by poverty level as compared to fuck you status, since surely no one should be considering poverty level to be fuck you status, even though surely there can be a lot of advantages in regards to receiving a passive income that is guaranteed (and no one to approve it or cut it off), versus potentially either working for an income or otherwise making sure that a person remains eligible for the income..

And, sure with investment as an income, there likely would be some basic money management duties, so even investment income might not be completely passive, unless there might be some ways that it is set up as a kind of passive distribution, but there is still accounting and likely moving around funds from time to time.

Sell enough on pumps,
To last through the bear season.
You can buy back too!

I hate to quibble (even though I don't, really.. I am just saying that in order to fit in a wee bit MOAR better).. but there seem to be a few of us who recognize that selling dee cornz on pumps can be good once some semblance of overaccumulation status has been achieved, while not selling so much cornz that you regret, while at the same time selling without an expectation of buying back cheaper, even though surely buying back cheaper does frequently tend to end up happening, even though many guys who sell sparingly are not really better off from the dumps or the buying back on the dumps (just mostly feel better), and your bitcoin quantity might have ONLY increased by a minor and almost immeasurable amounts by such buying on the way down, and surely your bitcoin quantity might ultimately end up somewhat flat from the whole up and down somewhat maintenance process, which should hardly seem a problem once guys consider themselves and/or their BTC portfolio to be in a kind of maintenance stage (rather than an accumulation stage), they are likely at a higher level of being (perhaps on a Maslow hierarchy kind of a scale) as compared with when they were in accumulation status.

I can't disagree with the above. I consider overaccumulation almost a precondition for shaving off any amount of corn, as anything less would go against the original target of reaching some given corn threshold, be it a Fuck-You status level of around 15-20 BTC, or even lower, or higher, depending on one's personal wants, needs, and cost of living (west vs. east can greatly affect this). Anyway, I must say that I do shave off small amounts, sometimes on a monthly basis, for some quasi-logical reasons, but I never really plan to buy back. Funny thing is that, as I shave off my monthly "pleasure funds", I see the value of my stash actually rising, and this puts me in a (risky) mentality of having discovered some kind of never-ending money source. It does feel like this! It's a strangely exciting feeling that you get when you keep withdrawing and the value of the remaining amount keeps rising.

Over the years, I have had several instances in which I have created some side funds that would involve a kind of budget for "certain purposes," which means (meant) having some kind of a withdrawal plan for those set aside funds, and my experience has been similar in terms of my ongoing spending from the fund, but the fund has tendencies to grow faster than I am able to deplete it.. at least within the budgeting parameters that were established for the funds.

There have been a few exceptions to such bitcoin growth phenomena, but really no exceptions that have been really meaningful as compared with the observation that the funds are tending to grow faster than they are spent.

I even created some funds that were given parameters for certain designated others to spend within the parameters of the accounts, and I have even had some internal dilemmas since the parameters have tended to be too liberal and their budget ended up multiplying way beyond what I was considering to be fair parameters.. that kind of ends up overly spoiling the recipients (beneficiaries).

I had found a place that accepted bitcoin for the purchase of various electronics including Iphones, so I had a wallet that was set aside for such transactions, and so the wallet had gone up so much in value that the recipient (beneficiary) ended up getting a way better product than was initially in the plans........ so yeah sometimes adjustments end up needing to be made.

TLDR: Tending to be 1st world problems that are not bad ones to have.. but still sometimes creating dilemmas.

The Wall Observer.
You don't need to bend the rules,
When there are no rules!

I would suggest, relatively speaking.

True. There have been examples of toxic members who got "self-removed" from these here parts, but I wouldn't say it was due to some hard rule violations, but due to not "fitting in", which could be interpreted as a set of unwritten rules. I don't know. Personally, I feel that I can post pretty much anything I like here.

There's quite a bit of openness.. even though surely you are likely correct that guys may well gang up on various ones who are lacking in fit or coming around to just provoke.. and sure there continue to be some ongoing provokers.. .. but the world (and the thread) would not be as interesting if we just agreed on everything or even there can be some utility in some of the exaggerations or provocations to make points..

A sad week for all.
War erupted, a plane crashed.
Health, keys, sanity!

I had to look up the plane crash part, and yeah 1 survivor who actually walked away, so arguably not sad for that there bloke... Surely something of notable luck for a particular guy, and even no parts severed, either.

Yes, it was very sad. About the crash. I watched various explanations/analyses of what happened by former aircraft pilots on YouTube, and it seems that there was a dual engine failure for some reason. It doesn't seem to be human error. It looks like they were just unlucky... Just imagine, climbing up to 600 ft and realizing that you've lost both engines. The pilots did what they could, but without any source of thrust it was impossible to avoid the crash. It was a tragedy, for sure. Love and support to the family members of those affected. That one survivor must be the luckiest person on the planet. He was sitting next to one of the emergency exits, and he was fast enough to open it and jump out. His brother was sitting somewhere else on the plane and didn't survive.

hahahaha.. yeah. lucky.. and holy shit, I had not realized that he jumped out.. That's amazing.. so luck and a bit of quick thinking.. I did notice that he was a bit of a muscular young guy. .so there is a bit of that. and say for example, he was sitting next to the exit and then maybe there were one or two people close enough to also jump out.. They may or may not be willing to jump....and I did another quickie research, and I saw an article in which it was not clear how close to the ground they were when he jumped.. so he might have had jumped at about the same time as the impact happened.

Depeche Mode - Ghosts Again

Not sure if I get this reference.. even though hey, I was just talking with some family members about my Uncle having had a few instances of ghosting me and going through some story telling regarding those experiences in which the other family members could relate... so it wasn't just me..
