Yep, you read it right! 

[Leroy Peterson]

i luckily managed to secure accommodation in Orange for Bathurst week. am expecting skids and drunks to be everywhere in town all week, but the one local ive spoken too said its not that bad. #we'llseeaboutthat

[emts]

there is just that meany cops about that people don;t do that shit anymore.

 

the run from Cowra to bathurst we saw a cop every 5 min.

think we were chatting to a copy first year and he mentioned they bring in 4000 extras for the weekend.

 

that said as long as you not a tool they let you get away with a fair bit.

had one last year walk past our site every morning and give us shit about our fire.

 

2 yeas before that had the superintendant come over and have a chat with us all about the race whilst a guy is pissing on a tree about 2 meters away.

 

The below was one of the years I went on, think I was 2-3 people along from them.
 

basiclly ppl were riding scooter/bikes down the hill to jump the fire, got a little rowdy with spectators so the cops came to get ppl to move on, crowd got into him to do the jump.

as we see he cleared it nicely, then turned around and said ok now you can all F$#K off.

 

they a fun bunch up there so long as you don;t touch your car drunk or have any drugs

Who puts their life savings into spec stock options that expire in march next year and kicks up a fuss when the company says brb 6 months? Can't take kids on a holiday now...idiocy.

Long term holder...eyes on the big prize. Nest and acquire.

SP has been taken back to before much progress...bargain is an understatement if you believe in the company fundamentals.

I'll wait a few months and it go back to negligible volume. Then get a small packet to lower my average.

In the mean time, want to look into uranium a bit more... Production has slowed since the price dump, wondering if new UK and new Chinese nuclear reactors are gonna go online and raise demand.

People recommending me to cryptos, but man, so many of them read like early-access games and go fund me's. Their goals and ambitions are all well and good, but it's worthless if no one wants to actually use the product. Even ethereum seems to be the backbone of most of them, so if 90% of these cryptos are unsuccessful, how does it not limit the value of ethereum?
And the fact that the goals, operations and even the philosophy of these cryptos is beyond 95% of people makes me doubtful how much it will actually be used (until it's all simplified and made easy to use).
I'm sure the next gen will be up to scratch with it all.

Oil is in recovery mode off the back of OPEC cuts - highest crude price since mid 2015. Rather than leveraging off what minerals I think people may use, I'm going to leverage off what I know they will use. It's a no brainer to be in some sort of oil stock while it's still low. Even those conventional pools on Icewine are going to look attractive soon if crude continues to escalate.

Crypto's biggest advantage is also its biggest barrier to mainstream adoption. Nobody in capitalist countries wants part in a decentralised currency, only hipsters/Marxists/socialists.

Second biggest barrier is exactly what you've touched on - the quantity of each crypto may be limited by algorithm, but the number of cryptos themselves is not - waters down the efforts of each as they fight for adoption. The widest adoption thus far is arguably Bitcoin and until I see it move beyond internet trading and the occasional pub/hotel/restaurant, I don't believe it will take off.

[Leroy Peterson]

You gotta give it to the creators of Block chain though. It's incredible and can be used for just about anything. However, if adopted in future (I think it's too late to stop it's take over now), it will remove a lot of the middle men in so much of our society. Even just the possibilities in regards to purchasing property...
I think we're finally getting close to that place where a lot of people are going to be made redundant by machines/digital interfaces. Tellers, receptions, science assistants, even real estate agents.
Ray white in Rowville is holding auctions at their store now instead of at the property. Certainly makes life easier for people.
