No, that site redirects to a malicious site. Anyway, the pen above is one of a limited edition run of 440. It would be difficult to find and purchase.
Huh! A malicious penis website....who woulda guessed?...
I don't get it. Are you saying the penis is inherently malicious or is it the combination of penis and website that makes it so? Penisland could have been a perfectly good pen or porn site rather than a malware distribution hub. There is no malware here:
https://cuntgifts.com/Virustotal says penisland.com is clean, but your redirection warning has put me off visiting it.

I'm so disappointed. sirazimuth claimed penisland.com was an actual website that sold pens, but a snapshot from 2001 shows it was a porno website called penis land, not a respectable pen selling website called pen island.

The price will oscillate during the week, then end at $8200, exactly where it started from.

Will I be having a deja vu experience of most of 2015? I really didn't have any skin in this game for most of 2014, so I can't say that I have had the full bear market experience. So far, this steady decline since December really sucks. I can't imagine going through months and months of declines, constantly having to get used to lower and lower ranges.
There are probably too many noobs entering the market for that to happen this year. All the exchanges are swamped and have year long waiting lists to answer a ticket. There's five thousand new token ICOs a day being announced.
I expect a bear market when exchanges immediately answer tickets and there's no new token ICOs being announced at all.

I don't know but... if its true then the total 17 000 000 btc in circulation is ~0.07% shorter. Heh, more deflation. Bullish.
Nah. If it's real there'll be an auction and thousands of pinheads here will scream 'OHMIGOD dey gon' dump everyfink on YOBIT and make de price NUFFIN' despite the numerous examples of sold coins never being heard from again.
I don't really want to see another thousand worthless threads on that subject. We'll get them anyway.
Before the first Silk Road coin auction I believed those threads. By the last auction I was immune to their FUD.

I don't believe that number, but IF it's true removing those coins from the market until an auction could pump the price. It took 9 months before they started auctioning the Silk Road coins. They take along time to organize an auction.
The circulating coin supply must be much smaller than the mined coin supply.

It seems the "old ones" doesn't understand what bitcoin is or the whole cryptocurrency. The so called experts are also old and calling all fud against bitcoin. Yet almost all crypto enthusiasts are the younger generation, mid 30's and below. There is the barrier. The technological gap between old and young. Give it a few years when we "young" are the old, then we'll see it flourish.
Early 30's here.
What young means depends on your perspective. Someone in his early twenties would consider someone in his early thirties an old fart.

Can anyone turn the volume back on?
It seems like the cryptosphere is holding its breath until Chinese New Year (Feb 16) is over. I suspect the second half of Feb into March we'll see a thaw. Esp as Korean exchanges and account holders fall into regulatory order.
I forgot all about Chinese New Year. The price was languishing below $1000 before last Chinese New Year, then broke above it afterwards. If the pattern repeats this year it might break above $9000 or $10000 in the New Year.

Understand what it is and how it works (in theory). I'm wondering how do I physically utilize those nodes in that picture to my advantage right now?
I believe it can be done via scripting only for now, and ONLY on testnet. The ability of fast "direct" transactions and minimum fees is something everybody wants and fast. AFAIK, (haven't been following this to be honest) there's no release date yet. But, from an article I've read the LN needs to be thoroughly tested prior release (any different input is greatly appreciated). At these prices the problem of having a bug and release it out in the open is not recommended...
PS: Yes, I'm back... (kinda)
It's already being used on the mainnet, although the developers advise against it, and are angry their work has been adapted to work on mainnet.
https://www.coindesk.com/bitcoins-lightning-network-problem-people-already-using/Fake money is boring.
At least, that's the contention of many micropayment enthusiasts, whose impatience for the Lightning Network has led to an influx of real bitcoin being transacted over the network, even though developers caution people against doing so since it's still in the testing phase.
And they're not the only ones – Blockstream launched a Lightning-only merchandise store using its own Lightning implementation, c-lightning, and a Lightning main net explorer suggests more than $33,000 in bitcoin has been transacted via Lightning Networks.

LOL! I didn't know that, thanks for the input. TBH, I'm wary on any "addition" that goes live on mainnet without thorough testing. I've paid a great amount for Tx-ing some of my coins and I know the urge of these guys though. But still... damn...
There's already people losing bitcoins from using it too early. This is one of the first losses.

Dood! That is EXACTLY what I was talking about before. Development 101! Test first, then TEST SOME MORE, then pay somebody to hack it for you (if necessary) and THEN release it...
They HAVE NOT released it.
Enthusiasts are modding testnet code and going rogue on mainnet, some devs are actually pretty bent about it.
My sense is that everyone testing on mainnet knows it is a risky beta and is fine with losing the funds they are experimenting with.
Everyone apart from a few customers of the Blockstream Lightning-only merchandise store who haven't done their homework. But I suppose the store will have to reimburse them for any errors.

going to $200
Looks like a good healthy rise to me lol
Nobody remembers early last year?
It's a good sign, the altcoins pumped before bitcoin last year. Ii remember bitcoin having its first big correction after the shittest shitcoins started getting pumped. Expect a correction this year when tittie coin gets pumped.

Yeah. So, Second Life. The VR community. You can buy and sell virtual items. Other than you can buy them inworld, there is also an internet store. An exchange. The URL: slexchange.com . Tell me you don't see it.
Incidentally, I would tend to think the URL you mention would be worth more as Penis Land than as Pen Island. Then again, with the pens you're talking about, maybe I'm leading a sheltered existence.
Best hoity-toitiest I ever owned was a Mont Blanc.
If you look at the pen site... I believe it is a wonderfully subtle troll.
The penisland.com site really was a porn website called penis land. This is a snapshot of it from 2001.
https://web.archive.org/web/20010926155606/http://penisland.com:80/At first glance the penisland.net site does seem to be a pen selling website called pen island. However I agree it's a subtle troll, especially its motto.
Your
penis pen is
Our business
http://www.penisland.net/It says it specializes in pens made of wood, and the FAQ page says "we can handle your wood" with the requirements "all shipments to be clean, free of parasites".
This paragraph seems laden with innuendo.
Whether you're looking for a thin white EZ-Grip pen, a petite yellowheart wood pen, or a thick dark mahogany pen we have just the one for you. Our pens are available in several custom sizes. Once we built a pen so large that we had difficulty finding a box it would fit in.
The discount for residents of the virtually uninhabited continent of Antarctica sounds very suspicious too.
If you live in Antarctica contact us for a special discount!

Applies to the Bitcoin market too. I.E., we are in a drawdown right now. Due to a 60% correction, normies are walking away from a market that will once again explode in the next few years to a new unimaginable ATH.
The move from the $1200 ATH to the $20k ATH was unimaginable. In the future it could make a move from the $20k ATH to a new $400k ATH, although it seems unimaginable now.

I was hoping to start simmering around 11.5-11.75 for the rest of the weekend and then breakout to 12.2k Monday. But there is going to be some volatility in this range it looks like. Which as it happens is just what is needed...churn the badger pls. Lots of shorts getting squeezed...hang in here.
I expected to be staring at that $11000 wall all weekend and for this thread to revert to tumbleweed gifs.

It took a few days to decisively get above $10k, it could take a few more to decisively get above $11k.

Such retrace. Much drop. Wow.
It can go down to 10350 and bounce.
Up the stairs, down the
toilet elevtor shaft.
It was bouncing above and below $10k for days during the week. It could be bouncing above and below $11k for days during the coming week.
It was below $8k a week ago, so $10k in seven days isn't so bad.

I'm saying, cuckoldry is not traditional, or normal behavior, that lends itself towards building a strong nuclear family unit.
I read somewhere that over one in ten people have a father who's not their real father. Cuckoldry seems quite common but surreptitious.

...that's assuming that the one in ten figure is correct in the first place (which I wouldn't be surprised by because most people are impulsive twats that don't have zero self-control).
The one in ten figure was for middle class people. They found it could be as high as one in three for working class people, but I can't remember who gathered the statistics.

My brother's wife's sitster's boyfriend knows a guy in university who claims to be doing a study indicating that NOBODY can be fathered by other than the real FATHER and that number is actually FIVE TIMES greater in Iceland.
Come on guys at least post some sources for your bullshit.
I did some googling and other studies dispute this, but ...
https://canadiancrc.com/Newspaper_Articles/Globe_and_Mail_Moms_Little_secret_14DEC02.aspxIn the early 1970s, a schoolteacher in southern England assigned a class science project in which his students were to find out the blood types of their parents. The students were then to use this information to deduce their own blood types (because a gene from each parent determines your blood type, in most instances only a certain number of combinations are possible). Instead, 30 per cent of the students discovered their dads were not their biologically fathers.
"The classroom was, of course, not the ideal place to find out this information," said Prof. Dickens, who is often consulted on ethical issues by geneticists at the Hospital for Sick Children.
Also there's the strange, but true story of twins with different biological fathers.

...and then there's this:
http://nationalpost.com/health/a-washington-couple-took-a-paternity-test-for-their-child-the-man-of-the-pair-wasnt-the-father-his-unborn-twin-was...
According to Starr’s research into the matter, the baby’s mysterious origins are a product of the genetic phenomenon of “chimerism,” in which one fetus that dies early in pregnancy is subsequently “absorbed” by the remaining sibling. This process, called “vanishing twin phenomenon,” is believed to be much more common than people think: a 1998 study found that one out of every eight single births begins as a twin or other multiple at conception.
The vanishing twin effect occurs when, instead of producing twins, two zygotes fuse into one. Starr believes that this is what happened to the Washington man, who ostensibly absorbed some of his fraternal twin’s cells while in the womb, becoming a “chimera” — a spectral blend — of himself and his unborn brother.
One in eight!? Maybe those 3 boys were his sons? ...or at least his absorbed chimeric unborn brother's sons.
That's possible, there's an example of a woman who gave birth to her twin's daughter even though she never had a twin. She was her own twin.
https://www.opposingviews.com/i/health/womens-health/woman-gives-birth-children-discovers-her-twin-actually-biological-mother-sheA Washington state woman was shocked when she was told that the children she gave birth to were not her own. It turned out that her twin was actually the biological mother of her children, and this only led to more confusion because she didn’t have a twin. In the end, it was discovered that the woman was in fact her own twin, confirmed by doctors to be a rare medical condition.

Where did the Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion went to?
No need to check the charts. The quantity of insults on this thread is inversely correlated to price velocity. Sadly it trails rather than leads.
The price just moved up by $100, which might disrupt the quantity of insults.

Quality over Quantity. It's the order of the day.
The price just moved up by another $100 and the thread's getting more amusing. It's definitely disrupting the quantity/quality of insults.

http://uk.businessinsider.com/bill-gates-on-cryptocurrency-2018-2?r=US&IR=T Billionaire philanthropist and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates said no technology has "caused deaths in a fairly direct way" to the extent that cryptocurrencies have.
He said that the ease with which people can anonymously buy drugs is a major problem, and suggested that cryptocurrencies are used to launder money and fund terrorist organizations.
Gates also added that "the speculative wave" around initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies is "super risky."
He keeps changing his mind about it. In January Microsoft removed its Bitcoin’ payment option, then quickly restored it.
https://cointelegraph.com/news/microsoft-removes-bitcoin-as-payment-option-for-microsoft-storeIn a blow for Bitcoin enthusiasts, Microsoft Corporation has removed the ‘Bitcoin’ payment option from its active payment instruments.
Update: Microsoft has restored Bitcoin as a payment option "after working with our provider to ensure lower Bitcoin amounts would be redeemable by customers."
Make up your mind Bill.
Why is Microsoft still accepting payment in bitcoins if Bill thinks they "caused deaths in a fairly direct way"?

Bill Gates retired from Microsoft 10 years ago. He owns maybe ~1% of MSFT stock.
Oh I thought he still had some control over Microsoft even though he's retired. So Microsoft doesn't give a shit if Bill thinks bitcoin's shit?

Bill Gates is the same guy who said "64 kB should be enough for anyone". Now he denies the quote is legit, but he sure acted like it, failing to endow DOS and the first Windows versions with proper memory addressing.
Bill Gates is also the same guy who thought the Internet, anarchic network of networks as it used to be, would be a passing fad and everyone would just use the Microsoft Network.
Bill Gates is the same guy who can't quote you the price of common groceries found in the store, because he's up in the Ivory Tower along with the rest of the billionaires.

No.
