Apparently Pudge won the partypoker Caribbean Poker Party yesterday for $1mil.

Nice pudge! Is that still limit?
11-27-2017 , 06:50 PM
It was a $5k NL event.

Whats the deal with golden sit and go promo on stars today? No information about how often it hits and what stakes are eligible. Pretty horrible marketing. Tables not too busy.

It appears they removed the set limits for new lobbies spawning/game after the Golden SNG promo expired. Should be fun waking up to the old days of some mass reg creating 20+ of the same game/buyin in the Lobby, for something that'll probably pop 3 times in 12 hours.

I hope some of you have some bitcoins. I used to kick myself for not playing enough when the games were so good. Now I'm kicking myself for not buying bitcoins when they were $15. Pretty awesome seeing it go crazy. Im staying on the sidelines as I just have no clue if it'll rise or fall.

Scarcity, feedback loops, and a *commodity* traded 24/7 in dozens of (barely) regulated exchanges across the World. Including countries (even China & Japan) where your domestic investment options are either restricted and/or crap.

Whatever Bitcoin is, it's concurrently a fascinating experiment in human psychology, markets & asset-pricing.

I read yesterday that 99 percent of Bitcoine exchanges are people trading with each other, 1 percent is actually commerce. If it's not a bubble I don't know what is
12-12-2017 , 03:00 PM
I decided to ironically "invest" in bitcoin and pop the bubble because I was annoyed watching it go up. Pretty much nailed the peak and I can't sell for a week+. You're all welcome.

New blog post is up. http://ushuaiaorbust.com/2017/12/16/...time-equalize/

There's a checkbox where you can subscribe when leaving a comment. Or just send me a Contact Me request (still sorting out how to automate that part).

Gonna chill with Gramps in TJ for a night, then head down Baja. xPeru by current estimates I will be down your way in late June or so. I gave up on the idea of trying to get from LA to Patagonia in 4 months. Gonna chill and take my time now.

Anyone else - please follow and co-pilots are always welcome!

I managed to buy bitcoin at the absolute peak a couple weeks ago. Luckily coinbase wouldn't let me sell for like 10 days. So I sold at pretty much the same price I bought at. Then of course it goes up $3k in 2 days.

Still - I don't want the hassle. This is absolutely a bubble and it will be very ugly when it pops. But it could go up 10 times form here before that happens. I just got spooked about trying to bail in a crash situation. Feels very much like a Full Tilt type scenario.

It's not as though I'm hodling until I'm a billionaire. Looking for both exit and entry points. Saw your blog I'm guessing you are driving through Costa Rica and I live here so feel free to ask any questions.
12-17-2017 , 06:20 PM
Hey awesome - thanks! I have barely thought about Costa Rica yet - but I will for sure as I get closer.
12-28-2017 , 12:12 PM
Merry Christmas everyone.
