Fortunately , some of my comrades are helping swing these number up by selling thousands of "gun factories"
which make it impossible to really know how many unserialized AR15s are in texas and worldwide.

Great company and people(and they sometimes depend upon bitcoin because constantly have merchant processing problems) -

Will the cops bother you if you use these lowers in a public shooting range? I understand it is legal to make your firearms as long as you don't sell them, but I've always wondered what the practical issues are related to possessing a gun with no serial number.

Is the fact that this is the last trading work day of the year a factor?

Do some accounts need settling, is it a good time to take profit and not hold over to 2017?

Actually, are there tax implications in the US? I vaguely remember that being a thing for the end of the calendar year.

Only if you want to take your profits in 2016 and pay taxes on those by April 15 2017.

Any curve can be represented as a sum of sinusoidal curves, i.e. a Fourier series.

Not quite. Any periodic curve can be represented as a sum of sinusoidal curves. The trick is in knowing the periodicity of $=f(t). protip: that f() ain't periodic.

Nope.
An infinite fourier series can match any continuous differentiable function.

An infinite series of a non-deterministic function is unrealizable.

Unless you know the function a priori, you cannot derive a convolution thereof. If you know the function a priori, there is no need to convolve it in order to profit. The entire concept of obtaining a Fourier series of $=f(t) is therefore nonsensical.

Obviously we don't know what the price curve is going to be in the future. That's not the point. The point is that if the price starts at f(t_0) = X and ends at the same price f(t_1) = X, and in between it has lots of ups and downs, then this method will increase the end-value of your total holdings (expressed in BTC or in $). It doesn't matter what f(t) does in between. You don't have to know ahead of time what f(t) is going to do. The demonstration of this statement makes use of the fact that f(t) = the sum of lots of sine waves, for any f(t). This is true even if we don't know ahead of time what exactly f(t) is.



There is a simple way to do a sanity check to determine if what is proposed is nonsensical.

1) Find a price level X where the curve hits at 2 points, t_0 and t_1. Solve for f(t_0) = X and f(t_1) = X.

2) Find another price level Y where the curve also hits at 2 points, t_2 and t3. Solve for f(t_2) = Y and f(t_3) = Y.

Use the 2 solutions to extrapolate 2 curves into the future. If the curves are wildly different then all this would be a waste of time.

BTW guys, some of you in this thread are very annoying.

You guys made me sell my most of bitcoin at the time of rumors of stupid BU. Roll Eyes

1 month back. Embarrassed

This is an entertainment thread, despite being in the speculation section. People have known this for years.

Most of the people from 2013 predicting double digit coins are missing, and the next wave of newcomers hasn't started yet. After a mega ATH they will eventually discover bitcointalk, then discover this thread a month or two later. Our voices will be lost in the noise of newbies by then.

Long ago I was active on IRC. AOL floppy disks started including a link to some web-based IRC portal. Many, many channels were completely overwhelmed volume-wise with a flood of newbies. Even though there was a FAQ link, they would ignore it and continually climbed over each other asking the same "how do I" and "what is this" questions.

Finally some enterprising channel OPs simply started banned everything from AOL.

The more widespread the adoption, the lower the 5-percentile IQ level drops. This is something we need to prepare for with a more granular solution than outight banning of stupid people.

Why is ppl here so obsessed with that unknown milf?  Huh
Posting a different pair of boobs for each special event would be appreciated.

Hodl.. This is coming to a Lambo dealer near you (maybe)



best thing to do now is order Tesla 3; and one year later you can cancel order and buy yourself 10 lambo for price of one today Cheesy

I actually did that recently. I sold 0.25 BTC for the $1000 reservation fee. Today the fee would have only been 0.14 BTC. Too bad you can get refunds in BTC.
