    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I'm just upset that I figure this will be a brief accumulation phase before the next leg up. A good buying opportunity, but my next bucket of funds to drop in won't hit until end of month, and I suspect upward momentum will have reasserted by then.

    Someone mentioned the MS system of hot liquid. I've seen home rigs running inside a 10 gallon aquarium filled with mineral oil (at least I'm pretty sure it was mineral oil).

    OK, Quandry for @Mrs. Haus and myself. We've lived in this house I've owned for quite some time. (Bought in 2001), and it's inside of LBJ in Dallas (Dallas people will understand that, essentially it's definitely "in the city" and not the burbs). House has accrued to around 3x the price I paid...

    Or the fact that China is mining the HUGE portion of all mining done. If the US was serious about it they'd be repurposing some of those NSA data centers and getting on it to establish a US BTC base.

    I'm still of the opinion that BTC is like "gold" in being a store of wealth. The problem is we need an effective "money" which means a cryptocurrency which can be easily used by people in payments and such. And we really don't have that yet. ETH seems to WANT to be that, but the gas fees...

    So how many of you think the BTC bull run will get north of $100k? 200K? This guy seems to think 100-150 looks like a fair estimate with a couple projections for 200-300. https://odysee.com/@Louis-Thomas:0/has-bitcoin-peaked-april-2021-edition:4

    I'm thinking the $2k mark for ETH is like the $60k mark for BTC. One of those magical "psychologically important" numbers, hard to cross and hold either way, but once you do it's a new floor/ceiling. I'm kinda surprised ETH didn't CME gap it's ass back down too, but there it is....

    Loki

    Yeah, I'm waiting to see how they justify this and not hauling every single Avenger in. Obviously a case of the man keeping Loki down. (And obviously something I will go find in Tortuga just like WandaVision, and like I will do with Falcon/Winter Soldier once it's all aired)

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Yeah, it's kinda the EXACT OPPOSITE of untraceable as it establishes and maintains a full ledger of every single transaction that occurs. With that said, there are some crypto projects which are centered around adding layers of privacy into the process. I suspect when Crypto really starts to...

    I don't see any reason not to own both BTC and ETH. Diversification isn't just for stocks ya know? I believe in the general sentiment that BTC is heading to become the new "gold" for wealth storage, and ETH is more likely to become the more liquid "daily spending cash" currency at some point...

    I didn't say it was at anything near a rational PRICE point... Just amazed they had them showing in stock rather than "available from these seller" (i.e. Marketplace)

    They realize, but they also know that even floundering they're still making money. It won't be until there isn't money to support their messaging that anything at all will change. But in this day and age of streaming wars, providers are so desperate for content they're not exercising as much...

    Yeah, I saw this and it made me shy away from trying to "mine" with Filecoin's environment. I saw Storj, which seemed similar so decided I would take a flyer on it since I had a spare system I was doing other things on which had an empty 2TB drive in it. Figured I would put it in there just to...

    DC Universe (Batman vs Superman thread).

    What you need is a JL Dark movie, leading down that the helm has been unused for too long. It's in the process of choosing Zatanna as it's new host, and Pierce Browsnan steps in as her father and accepts the helm to spare her the burden of being bound to it. (Yes, shamelessly stolen from an...

    Dividend Plays (Your Grandma's Portfolio)

    I've been thinking about putting part of my portfolio into something "value based" which usually means dividend stuff as far as I have learned. So far I've been looking to spread that some using the SDIV ETF. Anybody else look at those?

    I don't even consider Watchmen a Snyder flick as much as it was a pretty literal panel for panel shoot of the comicbook. heh He hadn't enforced his "style" onto it like he started doing later.

    Yeah, I run a enterprise class EDR solution on the system running nicehash. It's pinged up a few times about suspicious behavior in some of the specific addons. But also it classified what behavior it saw , so far it's just that this package has a natural dislike for cryptominers in general...

    I think it's more that I'm more easily entertained and can turn a blind eye to some inconsistencies and problems. OTOH, my better half gets a bit more fired up about things.. ;) Example, I still kinda enjoy the CW Flash, mostly because I can mentally compartmentalize the actions of the CW...

    Doom Patrol

    I will have to add something now... Now that I have seen the Snyder cut my opinion of Ray Fisher as Cyborg is different. The character has FAR more depth and feeling to him in the Snyder cut. He actually wasn't a grating unbearable little cunt, just a bit broody. Still not as good as Doom...

    Here's a video of a guy who is trying to build a market peak indicator index. I think a couple of his metrics are suspect (like the one measuring public interest in bitcoin via google) but a lot of his numbers (like Pi cycle and NUPL) are ones I have been learning to figure out...

    So...... @Mrs. Haus and I sank 4 hours this evening into this. My personal review? This movie made FAR MORE SENSE than the Whedon version. Cyborg was a FAR better character in this, and the Flash was at least slightly more tolerable. Which brings me to my Flash Derail! The Flash problems...

    It's been a mixed response, we have two cats around our house. The one who is usually the one constantly in boxes lost interest once it was fancy. The one who hasn't ever been a big box cat (the one pictured) was suddenly interested. It may or may not have been because @Mrs. Haus also dowsed...

    What are you talking about? The White House has been dismissing any staffers with Pot connections. Which seems odd since in several of her interviews it would indicate that Kamala is, in fact, a white house staffer with past pot connections. heh

    I'm thinking the next big imeptus for a pot stock run will be if/when the federal government has the DEA remove it from Schedule I classification. That's the real door for nationwide legalization. I believe it will happen, I don't know about that happening this year though.
