Wew... caught my lil selfie.. just in time.




Almost reported that "lewd one."


I thought that bitcoin systems were adding towards the creation of better incentives for bitcoin miners to seek lower cost energy, and I did not know that bitcoin gave too many shits about which kind of energy as long as it was relatively cheaper in terms of not necessarily competing with higher energy demand areas.

So without even pushing to control the kinds of energy that bitcoin would use, it would somewhat naturally seek the less expensive stuff and therefore cause incentives that even off the places in which energy might be trapped or wasted - and therefore maybe even increasing incentives to produce more energy overall because bitcoin mining would be creating value where there had not previously been value.. potentially making the pie BIGGER for everyone.

You seem to be getting into dangerous territory, goldkingcoiner if you are suggesting that some kinds of energy production is bad or should be discouraged, and for sure there seem to be weird battles regarding energy production in recent time.. that seem to be devolving into telling people what kinds of energy they are permitted to use and not to use.. which then seems to exacerbate some of the worsening production issues.. or supply side issues.. and sure, it does not help to be having a BIG battle with Russia around this topic either..

I am not against "green energy" in principle but there seems to be a lot of weird control issues going on, and even the solution to high energy prices seems to be to print more money rather than to increase production of energy.. sure some of that energy can come from "cleaner" sources, but we should not be living in a time in which any of us should have to consider rationing energy and just that regular peeps should be able to have access to energy.. and of course, if there are shortages of energy.. it seems like a production side issue.. not as much of a demand issue.. and yeah incomes of people around the world is not equally distributed, either.


There's low hanging fruit too, no?.. and maybe a lot of the plastic does float to the surface.. perhaps perhaps.. are there any garbage patch experts in these here parts? 

I suppose that I could look it up on the interwebs, if I was more ambitious.

Who's paying for it?

What do they do with the garbage?

I heard that recycling is a scam, and it doesn't really happen on the scale that we had been told in the 70s... so there are various differences in the kinds of plastics that would NOT have much if any "recyclable" value... so then which kinds of plastics can actually be recycled.. and then are they sortable.. or are we just being sold a bag of tricks.. and there is not much if any value in recycling a large number of items that we previously thought to be recyclable?

Problem is the set precedence, if some X blockchain will be mined in China/Russia/Iran more than any other country, does that now mean that Chinese/Russias/Irans laws should be applied to all transactions on that blockchain?

...

Blockchain explorer mempool.space has just gotten even more interesting.  They now have a diagram for each TX, which nicely complements the other visual tools.  One of the things I like the best about is it is useful for deciding how much of a fee you want to pay.  Before this, I almost always paid too much, losing them sats...

Anyway, here is an interesting coinjoin transaction:

btc is just going to create derivatives on top and kill any price action.

BTC is not going to create anything like that. But it's a known secret that the "financial elite" want to "tame Bitcoin" by incorporating derivatives.
In the long run, scarcity will strike. Nobody will get fuck-rich within a merket cycle when getting in now, but just watch at the whole picture while zooming out.
Coins on the exchange without trading them is just dumb, and lazyness probably never led to positive results.
If you got fiat you don't need for longer times, buy Bitcoin and protect your holdings. Thinking long term is crucial for success. You don't have to live the monk life to get more "money you don't need", but if you get comfortable with your living situation, you will identify a certain amount of money you are able to spend through DCA and lump sum strategies. From the "richest man of babylon" view, you could just easily look at your money as "future bitcoin" holdings. But first, you have to believe in Bitcoin.
Hope is weak, trust is strong. If you hope for high fiat gains to buy you stuff to show off to whoever, your'e still believing in fiat. Saylor pretty set some marks and dropped some strong statements what trust in Bitcoin really means. It needs a dramatic shift of view on the ecosystem.


EDIT: The term i was looking for was actually dedication, but i'm too lazy to work over the above block of text  

EDIT2: Astronomy news... I took everything apart and could actually repair some minor things, lowering repair cost. The mount is toast, but i spotted a better one on the 2nd hand market. If i make some bucks out of the defective parts on ebay, i should be able to replace it to get to do astrophotography again. I originally decided to assign a lower priority to restoring my astro gear, but since then i was looking at a clear night sky for two times already...

I thought the 300 wma was a better indicator at least of what might replace the 200 wma as a long term bottom price marker for being in really good buying territory

FYI

theymos doing what he does best...

Bravo....
