I was. The decision is almost entirely financial at the moment.

Yep. It's just a delegation that you get paid for making.

Sounds good. I'll be looking to confirm new/upgraded member leases as soon as the MR is formally finished and I can draw up a budget.

I think everyone appreciates the effort you've put in. I've been living vicariously through the Vegas meetup each year and I like to think I am only 1 bull market away from getting there now. C'mon HIVE

I got 7th for $400 AUD after spending some time as chip leader. Good result but it feels like I could have done better...

Thanks. It didn't quite go to plan. They weren't as loose as I was expecting but I was able to play my natural game.

Thanks man. I can probably pinch a photo off their FB page when they put it up tomorrow. I came 7th and won $400.

Portugal would be interesting, though I doubt this meetup would be feasible outside of North America at the moment.

That would be awesome!

I appreciate the effort you've put into looking into options. There is always plenty to do in Vegas. It definitely gets my vote for whatever that's worth.

Cheers brother. I love seeing those names pop up too. It's good to know they're still around somewhere...

Yeh, my dad was always working and I get it now. Getting the right balance is tough.

I hear you. Summer holidays are a marathon. It's winter here so only 2 weeks this time. Still, there is less to do when it's cold and wet so they tend to nag me more.

Nice! You sent enough for 12 and a half tickets. I'll send 2 HIVE back and give you 12.

Very interesting. Especially the comments from the IMF. No surprise they'd be keen on anything austerity related but endorsing sound money is another thing altogether...

Looks like I fucked up somewhere. Took someone 6 days to notice it. Sheessh. I'm about to go out but I'll re-read my posts later on and clarify.

Nice job mate. Your monsters are bad ass!

What about someone like RFK? I'm not saying he can win, but if he gets a decent chunk of vote he could emerge as a viable alternative. It's the 2 party system that really sucks because it keeps throwing

I see what you're saying now. Cryptographically signed content ensures its authenticity.

I really hope you are wrong about the succession though. If the US divides like that it'll be the end of it as a super power and that would be very destabilizing globally.
