HIPPYVALLEY

Big brush fire burning up in Leyden right now. An hour ago this was just a small column of smoke and now half the hilltop is on fire.

Keep checking in over the next 24 hours to see if we start to get breakouts. Stuff is on sale but I’m not getting back in until I’m sure the dip is over. Litecoin, Chainlink are worth looking at. honestly though, if your goal is just to make some decent profit not necessarily have some 5X moonshot, then bitcoin and Ethereum are still kings of the roost until they aren’t. Full disclosure, last night I dumped almost everything I accumulated in the past year, because technicals looked bad and I wanted to ensure I doubled my money. Especially since I had invested most of our home emergency money and I don’t like sleeping on the couch. LOL The nice part is, you do not have to jump in right away because you have the account open, just do some research and buy when you feel compelled. I’ll get back in, just not with as much $. I did buy Cardano early this morning and that worked out. That’s a top 10 project with big potential.

Open a coinbase account, put some money into it and then sign into coin base pro and transfer the money over. Better fee structure. I’m not sure why you have to do it that way or if you still have to do it that way but that’s what I was taught a year ago. Coinbase pro also has much better analytical tools. The fees didn’t seem that excessive to me but I just wanted an easy US-based platform.

I just use coinbase because it’s US-based and insured and I don’t need to deal with a Wallet. Also, it’s easy to transfer money back-and-forth from my bank. The downside for some would be they have a limited number of crypto’s available but they have a lot of the big ones.

Uhg, clouds messing up the program. I want my 70° dammit.

Yes of course cryptos are going to come roaring back higher than ever because the bull market is still running. Yesterday was the result of snake oil Elon distancing himself from bitcoin due to his “environmental concerns”. You can damn well bet he sold his positions before that announcement and will be right back in on the dip. Anyway, that was a good opportunity for all of the whales to liquidate the leveraged longs and scoop up the bargains. Not much different than the stock market really. As far as Elon’s environmental concerns it’s pretty funny coming from a guy who launches cars into space for fun.

It’s very volatile still especially with so many sketchy projects out there. That being said, the major crypto assets and platforms are here to stay. But yes, it is not for the faint of heart and you need to have a strong stomach for it. I watched the first dip come and retrace back up yesterday and thought it was a blip. However I then spent two hours glued my laptop watching the technicals and decided to bail because there were a lot of moving averages being crossed. I missed the peak because I got a little bit greedy but still came out up about 150% since December , however it could’ve been more like 200% if I had followed my instincts. I also only deal with a few of the major crypto‘s because I have no interest in risking money on the possible insane gains of volatile shit coins.

It’s so exemplary of the voodoo in all markets. Yes, I got out temporarily but will be back in when the dust settles.

Yeah, leveraging will be the undoing of it all. Look at the quick flash crash in crypto’s tonight. Elon makes some comments, the entire market heads down, then the whales flash crash it to liquidate all the idiots who were 10x leveraged long. Newbies panic sell, stops get triggered And then the whales come back in (probably including Elon) and scoop up all the bargains for the next run. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Why not? If the weather is their hobby that’s what they’re going to do. I don’t know many super rich people but two that I do know, through circumstance, collect pinball machines and hang out on pinball forums all the time.

I did stonework for about three years when we first moved to Greenfield. I needed extra work while I was trying to reestablish my life out here and an old friend of mine had a high-end stonework business. My whole body was in great shape. It’s not like I looked that much bigger or more muscular but I could crush apples with one hand. Lol The pay was fantastic but it ended up being too hard on my body and I also became a stay at home dad for two years.

A lot of office workers make up for it by doing regular gym routines but I would argue it’s not quite the same as constant movement and exercise for six or eight or 10 hours a day. I know several lifelong farmers with physical strength way beyond most gym rats. My neighbor Kyle can toss hay bales like they were pillows and he doesn’t even look that big.

Welp, you would’ve been up 10% already on ETH.

That’s a tough question because ETH has been on such a hot run the past month. TA shows it has the potential to still possibly double during this Bull Run but you might want to look at other top 20 coins that have a shot at bigger gains. Cardano, Chainlink, Polkadot, maybe Vechain. obviously do some reading. Non-top 20s such as Cosmos or Dash. I mean, there’s always Bitcoin. There’s definitely a breakout coming at some point soon. At this point I don’t want to give any crypto advice because all of my pics ran pretty hard the past two months and I don’t know how much gas they have left in them for the short term.

No, it was just too frustrating so after a year of minimal gains I dropped it. It’s been looking stronger at least.

I get around a bit for my job and just about every restaurant and supermarket around here is looking for help.

Bank is definitely the best place! ADA will come around, it might not be insane but still could be 2 or 3X.

I hope you put at least a little bit of that into BTC or ETH.

Maybe but I think a lot of the traditional investment firms are still way behind on getting into the crypto market. Bitcoion investment is probably keeping Tesla afloat right now. The crypto market is in a bull cycle that is supported historically and technically. There will be a major 30% + correction at some point in 2021, just hard to say when that is coming. A lot of the garbage projects will fail and never recover their all time highs. It's great some folks are making money on them but the potential to lose everything is very real. The big "asset cryptos" like BTC are here to stay and the technologically superior "platform crytpos" like ETH are here to stay. They will also be subject to big ups and downs but are sound for the long term and I anticipate they will continue to appreciate over the next 5, 10, 15 years.

We have friends who are winter enthusiasts and a couple of years ago they were moving up to the hills and had a choice between two houses. One at around 800’ and another around 1100” both in the town of Heath. They chose the house at 800’ which to me was the nicer house but they can’t believe the difference that 300’ makes with regards to snow.

I think this is becoming true in a lot of places.

Don’t give up any elevation!

I love how they were snow right down to Narragansett Bay yet the CRV got nothing. I was a kid in Cambridge and I remember even there we got close to an inch.

I pretty much don't install until there is strong model agreement on a week in the 80's. It really doesn't take too long, especially since I have small window units and a large portable. Give me open windows, fresh air and fans any day!

Especially considering I am in the NW part of the state and average 60” or a little under. Coastal plain FTW
