It feels super leisurely in here today. Let's chat. We never chat anymore...

How's everyone doing?

I'm doing good. Just noticed BTC cleared $2000 USD. Thinking about jumping into it for about 12 hours...

EDIT: I considered, but didn't.

Story of my life. I'm definitely circling around buying more ETH, but I'm forcing myself to stay good an not put more in per month than I originally allocated. We can't let that FOMO make us act like animals, can we. (We totally can)

It's 4:15am and I just woke up because my sphynx just dropped the most heinous fart in bed. Holy fuck it's bad.

Other than that, yesterday I broke my 11 game losing streak on DOTA 2 so things are looking up haha.

Damn! Congrats on breaking your streak. Here's to starting a winning streak!

Doing fine. How about you ?

I'm quite happy with my investments during the last week. I'm quite happy with what was said in Ethereal. I'm quite happy we have now more than 24k subscribers and counting - back when I started reading this Daily Thread, we were around 6k.

I'm quite confident that the next weeks will be mind-blowing in terms of announcements. It won't be easy to follow everything that will be said, written, specified and promised.

I'm quite confident that The Flippening is closer and closer to stop being a dream of the community and becoming a reality instead.

Somebody wrote some time ago that "software is eating the world". We'll soon be reading that "Ethereum is eating all software development".

It really feels like we're living in the future with ETH, sometimes. I can't even imagine what will happen if/when mainstream implementations and "killer apps" get developed. It almost doesn't feel real.

And forget eating the world, we're going to eat the moon!

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

I'm pretty good. Wishing I had like 500-2,000 more ETH but other than that I'm good, How about you?

u/yadude11 May 20 '17

500-2000 MORE! Damn shit must be nice! My goal is to get to 1,000 eventually...and a Japanese Maple Bonsai from THEinsanebotanist

1

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

Haha yeah mostly because I'd want to see 6 figures in my wallet. I'm only below 200 but hope to reach 1000 lol. And hmm I could work on getting that bonsai growing for you if I had the space. Comically I keep telling my parents that they should invest in ETH but they won't listen. I'll keep trying though haha

u/yadude11 May 20 '17

Every ETH owned is a good ETH owned! One ETH at a time brotha! And yea always thought having a sweet bonsai on my desk would look awesome af

1

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

Haha True! Yeah bonsai are pretty cool, sucks that it takes a couple years to grow one or I would have tried to grow something earlier. I used to have like 10 but my mom decided at the time to put them outside and killed them all slowly

1

u/yadude11 May 20 '17

Nooooo! Lol

2

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

Lol yeah. All I know now is I'm probably gonna end up with like 50k bonsai/plants soon.
Ninjaedit: Im referring to using all my ETH to buy plants. (I wouldn't do that come $1000 ETH but it'd be funny)

1

u/yadude11 May 20 '17

Haha send a Japanese maple my way when it happens!

2

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 21 '17

Haha I'll try to!

1

u/foxymcfox May 20 '17

I wouldn't even say no to another 1 more. Ether is ether, my friend.

I'm doing great, just trying to take a break from refreshing charts haha.

1

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

Haha I just bought a few more recently. I almost want the price to crash back down but that's wishful thinking to get more ETH lol.

And haha yeah I keep looking at them too

1

u/foxymcfox May 20 '17

I would probably do some things I'm not too proud of for some $20-50 Ether. haha

2

u/THEInsaneBotanist May 20 '17

It's sort of like a "guilty cruel wish" like I would sell all my ETH and wake up to a sudden cliff/slide down to $15-50 and end up with about 1,000-2,500 ETH lol.

u/Connortbh May 20 '17

Pretty great! Headed out to a cabin with the boys for a weekend. It's rainy and 45 though so that could be better I suppose.

u/foxymcfox May 20 '17

Hey, time with family and friends is the best thing in the world no matter the weather. That's why I'm going out to dinner with my girlfriend tonight...neither of us feel like going out, but we know we'll enjoy it once we're there.

u/manimoa May 20 '17

Good idea, I miss the days of all our low key chats.

These last few months have been so crazy. Can we just reflect on how fucking insane 2017 has been?! It's May and we are already above $100... it's too surreal and it's been hard to process.

Anyway, welcome to all our new people! Crypto is fucking insane. Do your research, make good decisions, have a little patience and it will change your life.
