    Episode 4 Hello GIF by The Simpsons
     

    TXANS Update—Jan. 14, 2024: ERCOT has issued a Conservation Appeal for Monday, Jan. 15, from 6 – 10 a.m. CT. Operating reserves are expected to be low tomorrow morning due to continued freezing temperatures, record-breaking demand, and unseasonably low wind. We request Texas businesses and residents conserve electricity use, if safe to do so. At this time, if you are experiencing an outage, it is local in nature and not related to grid reliability. Please contact your local electric provider for more info: http://bit.ly/48JZfC2. Read news release: http://bit.ly/48zuaBa

    No CR, their words...not mine.  Conservation Appeal.  Think about the root words and how fucking insane this is.  People at home, on a federal holiday between 6 and 10am.  In the most energy abundant state in human history.  

    Just let it simmer.  But don't let it simmer because your stove has no power.  You fucking child.  

    Just had to pray to the wind and sun Gods.

    You're right, it is insane.

    Lulz maybe they don't want to give the air of credibility to what is purely speculative FOMO "line go up" instruments

    My Vanguard account is just in vanilla retirement plan stuff, but I have a feeling if I asked they would offer self directed trading including options, triple inverse etfs etc. Can’t get much more speculative than those.

    Just wondering who investigates and fines the SEC for market manipulation?  I know they would come after my company if we did similar.

    nobody.

    Looks like Gary didn't even have 2FA on the account.

     

    FWIW it looks like the hacker just posted the planned announcement early. Looks like legit what they would post.

    yeah, i have different strategy (being generous here with that term) and probably more working altcoins than you just hodling BTC.  if a bullrun is happening, i don't think whales will just shoot it off from the ETF.  but rather looking to take profit on the announcement and buy back in to the market on the dip.

    Damn it. I signed into Coinbase for the first time in over a year last night to buy some BTC. I didn't like the fees (1% + the spread), so after about 10 minutes of thinking about it, I didn't buy.

    Up 7% today.

    If you don't like the fees on Coinbase you can just wait until the ETFs are trading. Some have fees as low as 0.25%, or free the first 6 months of trading. 

    But I would recommend owning the Bitcoin yourself if you've taken the time to log on to Coinbase.

    If your main arguments for why it's a good investment is "number go up" and fomo, then I'm not sure why this thread isn't in the gambling board lol

    That's not why I think it's a good investment. Those are the tailwinds I expect to come from the ETF rollout.

    But why do people invest in the stock market or anything else? Do they expect NGU? Of course.

    Wednesday is the 10th. It's the deadline day for the SEC decision on ARK's application.  Blackrock et al have deadlines in June, but could be included when SEC decides on ARK's application.

    A lot of final forms being submitted today outlining fees.

     

    It's a done deal, barring some exceptional move by Yellen/Treasury to declare some kind of security threat from BTC.

    I'm still kind of surprised this is all being allowed to go through. A real watershed moment. Things will be different when there's many more Hodlers (even if ETF).

    I expect a massive push for outlawing self custody from Sen. Karen and her ilk. They will try to keep it siloed in Wall St institutions.

    Agree. Should have listened to my web developer when he told me to buy at $800.

    I am in at a bit more (cough).

    Looks like the run up to ETF approval is happening. I’m guessing a 20% bump that day/48 hours.

    Higher wouldn’t surprise me. Can’t imagine a decrease in value.

    I would be surprised by a big pop in price. Hope I'm wrong. I think it will be slow burn upward as money rotates in. May not be as immediate as the coiners think. My friend that owns a decent sized financial services firm doesn't believe there will be much demand for the ETF. I think he underestimates NGU and FOMO. Wall St is competing for that demand though.

    There’s some real oatmeal brained shit on this thread. I really like the theory that when Mossad or the SVR go to recruit new agents, their go-to is “child of a well-known spy and criminal.” 

    Do you believe that Epstein was an intelligence asset?

    I don't quite understand the hatred against bitcoin. Don't like it as an investment, sure. But going out of one's way to bash it doesn't make sense to me. 

    The vast majority of the hatred comes from people that are mad that they "missed" it. (We're still pretty early) These people especially come from finance and tech backgrounds. They're involved in sectors that should've helped them see the opportunity in front of them and they feel they've blown it. 

    It takes a lot to admit you were wrong, take the L, and change course. Especially amongst people in fields that generally feel more intelligent than those in other fields.

    Do you think there's any relevance to her father being prominent spy?

    I find your level of naivete fascinating. We're like polar opposites. Unless it's all an act.

    I never got the sense that all of them shared his pedo lifestyle.

    I don't equate being horny with being a pedo, so gonna need more than a flight log to see Slick Willy that way (notwithstanding that the CR media has already made up its mind).

    Are you serious, Clark? 

    Why else does one hang out with a pedophile, if sex is the objective?

    If you're rich and/or famous getting laid is never a big issue. Getting freaky with an island or a penthouse full of underage/borderline girls would be a unique experience though.

    Not sure if serious, but it's known that Ghislaine's dad was a longtime Mossad operative. From wiki, 

    Six serving and former heads of Israeli intelligence services attended Maxwell's funeral in Israel, while Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir eulogised him and stated: "He has done more for Israel than can today be told."

    Ghislaine did not fall far from the tree.

    I'm guessing this has all been covered here before.

    I haven't follow any of the details.

    Do we know what the people who went with Epstein knew - that women were having sex - that underage women were having sex - that the sex wasn't always consensual - that some of the women were not even close to being of proper age?

    --if all this was known then everyone who went there should have been thrown in jail.

    Is it possible and is it likely or unlikely that it was more like a strip club where you knew some of the women probably weren't of age and you knew some stuff was happening upstairs?

    --this makes them more scummy than criminals who are a danger to society.

    --I think that if it falls into this bucket, many of us are reluctant to cast stones because we have been to a strip club before and many have taken their girlfriends or their wives into a strip club either overtly or just happenstance like while walking down Bourbon Street.

    i do find interesting the behavior of many on X to rationalize grown men associating with epstein.

    yet, the only person behind bars for this sick episode is female.

    time for the dudes to take punishment.

     

    You forget the part where this guy was an intelligence operative/asset for years involved in the blackmail of influential public figures. Nothing will happen to the participants. Then the leverage is lost.

    It's becoming pretty clear to me this is standard operating procedure in the higher levels of power. 

    Let's say you hear a certain senator has a hidden proclivity for boys instead of girls. Maybe you hook him up with congressional aide in one of the chambers of Congress on an ongoing basis. Then you have good info on him and he will loudly pronounce his support for any and all military adventures that he is asked to support no matter how hawkish. Hypothetically of course.
