holiday homes abroad might seem like a great idea, however, think of how much you would spend on it

Then add up all the cost of holidays you would take abroad say over 15-20yrs in different places rather than the same place and compare them

When you have a place abroad unless you are renting it, you feel compelled to go and use it as much as you can

I personally prefer to visit different places when I get on a plane rather than see the same one every year

When our kids were younger they wanted to go back to the same place we had been one summer the following year
Gave into the pestering for them, they loved it but myself & missus wished we had gone somewhere else

You’re forgetting the potential capital appreciation aspect and the fact many make decent income renting them out via air bnb too.

thats why I mentioned if you rent it out its not as much compelling to visit it that often if you get bored of it

the way the world is right now, the travel sector is getting crushed

different strokes for differnt folks

dont want to go off topic on this one, it was just my opinion

what comes after bitcoin season?
Altcoin season

Would really like to see some actual use cases of (non financialy focused) decentralised apps/blockchain technologies start to gain some sort of public adoption/notice soon.

A messenger/video/social media service or whatever should be very viable atm surely. As the big platforms continue confining themselves to orthodoxy & consensus (and become ever closer to acting as a branch of the state imo) there is a significant gap (and desire) for new entrants to claim back the 'free internet' mantle I think. So yeah, cmon web 3.0, let's see you start to do some things in more popular spaces please.

Isn't that what Consensys are all about?
At least that's what I read when they opened their Irish HQ to some fanfare but it seems to have gotten quiet and I think the Irish MD has moved on.

I'm not sure if it will be altseason as opposed to Defiseason.

It should be a decreasing quantity token by the end of the year once EIP1559 is implemented so that point is moot.

Buy a complex, unproven promise of hard money tomorrow, instead of buying simple, time-tested hard money today?

Anything but moot.

Look forward to the block size arguments on that one.

BCH, BSV, BTG and BCD all moving together now as one. As soon as I saw Bitcoin cash moving I checked the others, lo and behold, moving as well. This came from that move in end 2019. Hilarious

The walking dead! How long is it going to take to get this trash off the crypto marketcap balance sheet.

Yeah I'm enjoying the run - long may it continue! Bought a small amount more today. I expect it to fluctuate throughout the year but I'm in it for the long haul

Hotel bookings. In Oz, I believe the travel booking company Webjet did some work on it: https://www.coindesk.com/digital-travel-firm-webjet-has-launched-its-booking-verification-blockchain

Couple of new entries in the top 10

ETH price way ahead on Coinbase now, it was lagging in a big way for the first couple of days of this run...

Thargor · 10-01-2021 04:33AM

ETH closing in on the ATH.

Maker going vertical, I knew I should have stuck a couple of grand in there when people were hyping it.

:pac:

Although initial proponents of bitcoin saw it a as way of setting up a currency outside of the control of central banks, its 400 per cent price surge in the past 12 months has, ironically, been fuelled by the amount of money central banks have pumped into the financial system to help it deal with the Covid-19 crisis.

"Ironically, it has been hoovering up money as it is designed to."

Dude needs a lesson in irony. Ironically.

Turning into Night of the Living Dead with all these zombie coins on the march again

crushproof · 10-01-2021 04:35PM

Years ago I dabbled in attempting to mine Bitcoin but either got bored or couldn't fathom what it was all about. Found my old old old laptop yesterday and voila, there was a Bitcoin coin wallet from 2013. Took me hours to figure out how to access it and eventually found the old 12 word passphrase.

Hands were shaking as I finally got to reveal the amount of Bitcoin..... total amount, 0.00 BTC. Kicking my younger self for not having the patience to look into it further!

Dohnjoe · 10-01-2021 05:17PM

Eth possibly taking another stab at ATH. Usually there's a drop on Sundays but will see if it can be breached. If it does go over, hopefully it takes a similar route to BTC and keeps going (before the fun ends)

Is anyone else starting to become a bit excited?
