    Lmfao that news article bardo, Aussie tricho markets are a bubble!

     

    For real though, never seen these kind of prices on european ebay, last time I saw a comparable cut it was a variegated pachanoi "Saquarema", a good sized beautiful cut, and it went for around 170€.

     

    As far as hefty price tag though, right now there's these gorgeous loph crests I'm drooling over :drool2: :

    Hahaha SABcoin to the moon! Buy it to support the server costs and use it to trade plants & seeds with other members!

     

    But yeah, everyone and their mother are trying to cash in on the ico craze, it's basically kickstarter but with more profits and no obligation to deliver lmao.

     

    You got all types of people who have no clue about blockchain launching and or backing ico's these days it's hilarious. For example rappers (Ghosftace), boxers (Mayweather), actors (Jamie Foxx), basketball players (Dennis Rodman) and whores (Paris Hilton).

    Haven't heard of this ICO but It's not well rated on icobench, I'd personally stay away: https://icobench.com/ico/presscoin

     

    Even if the project is the most amazing project ever keep in mind ICOs basically run on hype and marketing. If you see everyone talking about an ico, it could be a good one to get in and dump as soon as it hits an exchange. 

     

    Unless you're looking at long term, then it could be a good idea to invest if you really strongly believe in the project, but even then it's risky and better wait to see how it does and what exchanges it gets listed on if you're going for the long term.

     

    A friend of mine made 11x his investment in Electroneum a few days ago by dumping as soon as it hit the exchange. It has since dropped over half.

     

    I remember seeing a lot of hype and shilling around it at the time of the electroneum ICO... Hell I even have the app on my phone from pondering if I should buy in to it or not and unfortunately didn't...

    Of course bitcoin will remain a trader's commodity, like gold is. But I definitely could see a future where you are paid in crypto at your job, in fact Russia and Venezuela both announced their plans to issue cryptocurrencies backed by their oil and gold reserves, and most likely not anonymous of course (bitcoin is far from being anonymous though).

     

    Think about it, most of your money is already virtual, you check your bank account on the internet, you are paid directly to your bank account, you pay with a credit card. To the average people it wouldn't make a difference at all, they wouldn't even have to know if the inner workings of their banking system relies on blockchain or not. The only difference is there would be no need for banks, as there is no cash to keep in safes.

    I seriously doubt any sizeable correction is going to happen soon, unless some huge bad news strike.

     

    The "your coins could be worth nothing tomorrow" argument is bs. Even with the China fud it only took a few months for the market to hit new highs. Same with Mt. Gox. And these were not just waves of fud of people realizing the market is volatile, these were actual huge threats to the bitcoin network.

     

    Never try to short btc is all I will say, I hope you didn't sell your btc when you posted about the "rough weekend" ahead.

     

    Like you quoted, with so much new people and institutional money coming in the space, it increases demand so the only way is up.

     

    I mean, are we in a bubble? Most likely, but didn't some of the earliest companies of the dotcom bubble pull through it and actually changed the world? (amazon, google...) And aren't their current valuation way over what it was during the bubble?

     

    I think bitcoin and eth are here to stay, and I think the current valuation of bitcoin is still far under what it could be in a few years when the hype is over and markets become less volatile.

    Blockchain adoption is coming, brace yourselves. Hold on to your alt bags, they will recover.

     

    Big Bang Theory made an episode about bitcoin where the protagonists realize the bitcoind they bought years ago and forgot about is worth a lot. 

    Crypto kitties are making a killing. 

    There's rumors Apple might be buying $EMC2 which would be their announcement on the 19th.

    Jamie Dimon from JP Morgan Chase finally admitted bitcoin was akin to gold after bashing it several times in the past.

     

    The list goes on and on...

    I've always grown alfalfa, crimson clover and yellow mustard as a cover crop for my cannabis plants in soil, I mow the cover crop when it gets out of control and let them compost on top of the soil. The clover fixates nitrogen from the atmosphere and then releases it when composting, the alfalfa gives triacontanol in small amounts and the mustard helps prevent diseases and acts as the frontline for bug attacks.

     

    But for a couple rounds now I've been using a "booster" product in hydro, which contains tria and it definitely seems to make a difference. I found this side by side timelapse for example, it's even more noticeable on bigger, flowering plants. 

     

    Curious to see what this product would do on trichos.

    It basically speeds up photosynthesis. Here's a description of its effects:

     

    Quote

    Triacontanol (TRIA) is a natural plant growth regulator found in epicuticular waxes. It is used to enhance the crop production in millions of hectares, particularly in Asia. Quite a number of researchers have reported the TRIA-mediated improvement in growth, yield, photosynthesis, protein synthesis, uptake of water and nutrients, nitrogen-fixation, enzymes activities and contents of free amino acids, reducing sugars, soluble protein, and active constituents of essential oil in various crops. Expectedly, TRIA enhances the physiological efficiency of the cells and, thus, exploits the genetic potential of plant to a large extent. In fact, TRIA increased free amino acids, reducing sugars, and soluble protein of rice (Oryza sativa L.) and maize (Zea mays L.) within 5 min. TRIA elicited the appearance of L(+)-adenosine within 1 min in the roots of plants

    Hey, so I was wondering if any of you guys tried using triacontanol (or even just alfalfa meal) on your cacti, and if so what positive or negative effects did you notice it's had?

     

    I found triacontanol to be quite effective on everyone's favourite plant to increase growth and yield, so I'm thinking of doing an experiment on some trichos this spring.

    I recently heard an interview on the radio of one of the french scientists who recently conducted a research on mushrooms which could be effective in treating autoimmune diseases like mucoviscidosis a.k.a cystic fibrosis.


    Their research on 164 different extracts of mushrooms and algae led them to Paralepista flaccida var. inversa (also called Clitocybe flaccida which I think we can all agree is a superior fucking name :lol:).

    It is a very common edible mushroom, although not tasty. Its extract reverted the DNA mutations and restored production of the needed proteins on live cells from patients suffering from cystic fibrosis.

    The way this mushroom works could lead to a cure not only for cystic fibrosis but most of the other diseases linked to DNA mutations where a gene only produces part of the protein it codes for, including Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) and some forms of cancer.

    Here is an article in french (I wasn't able to find anything in english yet): http://sante.lefigaro.fr/article/un-champignon-prometteur-contre-des-maladies-genetiques

    And the published scientific paper: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0187930

    Theoretically you could stabilize this trait by selecting offsprings which carry this trait and backcrossing them to the mother or father, and do that 3 time, always backcrossing successive progenies to the same parent plant. In breeding this technique is called cubing and it's the quickest way to stabilize a desired trait in a gene line. Mendel's law says the 1st backcross's genepool should be 75% identical to the parent's gene pool. With the 2nd backcross (a.k.a squaring) this goes up to 87.5% and with the 3rd you get up to 93.75%.

     

    The only issue is the amount of time this would take with trichos, 3 generationa from seed to flower.

    Honestly I agree that buying a hardware wallet is a bit overkill unless you're holding a lot of btc. A software wallet like Exodus does the job perfectly, you just need to make sure you write down your private key and keep it somewhere safe in case your memory fails you and you forget your password.

     

    You'd still need somewhere safe to store your hardware wallet and you'd have to go take it and put it back in place everytime you want to use some btc. Whereas with a software wallet you'll only need to go to your safe if you forgot your password.

     

    If you just plan on holding for long term and not touch your btc for a while you could just store them in a paper wallet, a well hidden one is probably the most secure way to do it.

    The 1st episode is out, it's the one on Bufo alvarius. 

    https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/gyj9y4/hunting-for-the-most-potent-psychedelic-toad-venom-on-earth

     

    Pretty good episode, I learned a couple things. They interview the guy who was apparently the 1st to ever try smoalking Bufo venom.

     

    The video is blocked outside the US, but you can easily use a free VPN to get around that. I used an app called Hola VPN, I think there's a chrome extension too.

     

    For those who haven't seen the 1st season, here's the magnet link
