I love that this graph tries so hard to make the ongoing slump seem reasonable that it makes it so that there has literally never been a good time to buy bitcoin after 2010, which is actually pretty true but not great for the argument of buttists

You misunderstand the situation completely, I'll do my best to clarify for you: It is always a good time to divest from fiat scrip into the safe haven of mathematically-protected decentralized global currency. It is never a good time to risk your wealth in a form of storage that can be destroyed (AKA stolen from you) via inflation at any moment, possibly even in your sleep overnight.

is there actually anything behind these graphs or is this just economic astrology?

that bear vs flat one looks like someone desperately trying to invent a positive way to frame the data going off the "projected" course

the flat one in the bear vs. flat starts january 14th this year, because it crashed from the 320s to 190 bottoming out on the 14th. if they included that then the overall trend for the year would not be a slow rise, so they just cut that out. creating a prediction using the past 8 months, 4 days, no there is not a reason we chose 8 months, 4 days, bitcoin will go up uP UP!

I'm here to educate you first and foremost. If i happen to entertain some of you as a byproduct that's fine but it's by no means the primary objective here. What you want isn't at all relevant. It's long been known that people hate being told the truth.

Sure, Southwest does not charge change fees so if you have to cancel a flight, you get a credit returned to your account that is good for 12 months from when you originally booked the flight. While other airlines will charge you $50 or take your non refundable flight, with Southwest it is script.

The trick is to bankroll as many SW GC's as you need to make a trip and it takes time if you want to maximize the discount. Also, these need to be physical GC's and not virtual. The denominations are $50, $100, and $200. I didn't get much luck at all with $50 but constantly turn over $100 about once a week.

While everyone wants to claim 25% off, with fees and timing, I'm getting 21% to 22% bought within 48 hours or so. At 25%, I've had no action for a week. At 21% and with PurseIO fees, the actual discount is $18.92 on a $100 GC. While you can try and finesse and wait for a larger discount, 19% off my SW airfare is fantastic by any stretch of the imagination.

The SW GC's have no expiration date. They are 16 digit codes with a scratch off to reveal the 4 digit PIN. My understanding is that once issued, they can't be revoked but others have chimed in and said that six weeks is where it's permanent. I did talk to the PurseIO guy at a conference and he said they stand by their guarantee. I haven't gotten taken yet and this is the first value proposition I can concretely point to as why someone should use Bitcoin for purely selfish reasons.

BTW, Amazon also offers American Airlines GC's but I don't fly them at all.
