I also prefer tangible assets, I'm not anti-crypto as a mode of exchange, but after having participated on some crypto-based platforms and watching the price movements for some time, I gradually came to realize that the crypto "markets" operate where the primary mover of the value of the 'asset' is the flow of newcomers. A whale buys in and suddenly the overall market jumps, a whale cashes out, and the 'market' drops significantly.
That is one of the major defining traits of a ponzi scheme. Maybe this will be less the case as their use becomes more pervasive, but then someone could just make bitcoin 2.0 and start the scam again (except as an "upgrade").
"Invest" is a strong word. I don't expect a sizeable gain, but that's not the point. In effect, Tether is buying gold held in a Swiss vault, even though you can use it to fund crypto transactions.
Should SHTF, you can get physical delivery. It's a hedge.
Yep. That's why I'm stating away from it, Bitcoin Cash, etc. Check out XAUT.
Edit (sometimes my replies get autospezzed in the ether): Another one worth watching is UPXAU: Perth Mint, 1:1 mapping to physical gold, off-chain physical delivery. It's the newest of the stablecoin.
I am not a bitcoin fan, but I think blockchain technologies are literally going to change the world. A lot of crypto projects offer utility to many verticals that are going to disrupt the way we have been doing business. The blockchain will bring a transparency to the financial market that the world has never seen before.
I have made considerably more from my crypto investments than my stock portfolio. I am pretty certain there will not be a collapse now that the institutional money has begun flooding into the market.
Respectfully, I would do some research. You may be missing out on a great opportunity to grow your wealth.
It does NOT come from thin air. The Dollar comes from thin air. When Ron Paul successfully, partially, audited the Fed, they found trillions, unbeknownst to congress, printed without oversight or permission. Trillions loaned to foreign business and banks without so much of an "I'm sorry". The dollar is a disaster
Crypto is a tool of the devil. It can get you rich quickly, but it’s existence adds a significant amount of evil to the world. Bitcoin was used in online torture chambers that often involved minors. Because the currency is untraceable, these types of sites ran rampant for so long involving very disgusting things. Essentially you logged into a webcam and paid money to tell someone how to your torture a live human to death. My stomach turns still every time I have to mention it. Essentially it’s what hostel was based on...
Sure people argue that real cash can produce the same results, but it’s much harder for a 15 year old to send 20k cash to someone for real time requests and observance.. Bitcoin and virtual instant currency allows for sinister services to exist. In my opinion, Jesus wouldn’t want us using a service that allows those things to exist, but then again Jesus probably wouldn’t approve of Q drops on a site that hosts BSDM porn either...
I’m so in the air about what’s going on..
EDIT: I am being informed Bitcoin is traceable, but another crypto is not.
I am a very old school person and I do not believe in cryptocurrency, personally. If all the computer systems crash, how would you get that back? I know it's all the rage and I'm probably missing out but I can't help feeling uncomfortable about it.
It's decentralized banking, which means it can't be manipulated because there is no "central" bank that exists, that's literally the point of it. It's supposed to give people more power than institutions.
By the way, people have already gotten rich from it. If you bought Bitcoin in 2007 you could be a millionaire now.
At the moment, it's too late to get in on Bitcoin. However, if you look at other coins that do things like manage software, or allow transactions through video games, etc. it's possible to find the next Bitcoin-coin. This is why crypto still continues to exist, because it has other uses besides just being an investment opportunity.
The stock market and crypto are rigged. People with billions put into it can swing the price dramatically and have the means to pull out all their money very quickly. + insider trading, it's really difficult to know when to invest. It's like playing a card game against someone who is allowed to cheat.
That being said, you can still make alot of money on crypto, but it's a gamble.
i think that there future is blockchain. if they can get voting on a blockchain, the data is decentralized and can not be tampered with because it is not stored in one place and is not owned by one person. once a transaction happens, it stays forever as data and you can not go back and change anything, even if you had the whole block chain...
So far I've leveraged crypto gains to zero out my mortgage, car loans and purchase silver... while still reinvesting the profits into crypto as it continues to rise.
So.... no matter the opinion. I've used it to become debt-free and obtain so much silver/gold that I need a new safe.
All of them. Except for my vaccination gun. I still have that. I'm exceptionally well vaccinated, but no longer have precious metals or weapons of any kind... :o(
I am suspicious of things I don't understand, and crypto qualifies. But even cash, is based upon perception of value in an exchange. Quite a grand illusion, UNLESS BACKED ENTIRELY BY GOLD. What is crypto backed with? It is all so clever what with "mining" and all. At this point I'm not touching it. Donald ever says "buy crypto" I will try harder to understand it, but it seems hedge-fundy right now. So, are these words synonymous? Bitcoin, blockchain, and cryptocurrency?
No you are not alone, I'd wager most honest folks who have looked into it agree with you.
It is a vehicle for Evil - criminals, terrorists, slavers - to use and avoid taxes and other skirtings of Law.
Maybe it doesn't matter tho, we ARE in a post-Constitutional America and Law doesn't seem to exist, so if you don't mind it carrying CP why maybe we should reconsider.
I know a few people who have made money off it, without paying taxes, and I know at least one guy who was arrested because he got caught cashing out and did not pay taxes, he was fined a lot and given probation.
When done by a double damned corrupt government such as we have these days yeah it is, but you attempt to move goal posts here don't you.
When a democratic Republican form of government is operating honestly citizens must pay taxes, those who do not pay taxes conduct Fraud against the rest of us. We build your roads and hospitals and airports and pay your cops and military and yadayadayada.
What's your agenda, moving goal posts and hating on taxes, is that all?
No moving goal posts here. I have always been adamantly against income tax. I believe it is evil to penalize one for making a living. Before 1913 there was no income tax at all and government got their dues from tariffs, sales tax, and property tax. Do away with most government jobs and welfare programs and the government wouldn't "need" to bleed the middle class dry.
Government has no business competing in the private marketplace. Funding should not go to airports nor hospitals. Free enterprise easily takes care of those things. As for infrastructure such as roads and schools, all that can be paid for with local/state sales and property taxes. Police and teachers should be paid out the same way. I don't think there should be a federalization of education like there is now because it takes power away from the locality and with that proper accountability.
The federal government should get its money to pay the military/border patrol from imported tariffs. We are the richest country in the world and we buy the most imports spending $3.1 trillion dollars per year. I do not believe the federal government should exist for any other reason.
The link below shows where our money goes. We spend $690 billion on defense and in my opinion is probably too high a figure because there's no oversight or accountability, but even with this ridiculous sum a tariff tax of 25% would cover this.
I'm also anti Nesara/Gesara, aka the Great Reset. Those are Clown funded, Clown operated, and MSM hyped NWO plans, and yet, tons of people can't see that. They can't see that forest for those trees. And it irritates me...a lot.
It's going to replace fiat in 5 years max. Because it's decentralized not even the Fed can control it. They're trying hard to regulate it and even trying to create their own crypto. But it won't work. The Blockchain technology is an innovation that'll transform finance forever.
Remember, the deep state crashed a gold backed currency once.
Besides, there are even crypto that's backed by gold and silver.
Regardless, spread your assets. Get gold and silver too when you can. Get crypto. If you're saving fiat you're a fool. Probably stay out of the market unless you're gorilla gripping GME and AMC.
I've got some. I've also got stocks and precious metals. FIAT is going to crash hard right along with the traditional market as both sides seem hell bent on it. If it weren't valuable tech you wouldn't have all these governments trying to control it as well as trying to make their own versions. Most arguments against seem to come down to a. Not understanding the tech whatsoever. B. The "But I can't hold it" bit ironically while using a debit card more then anything. There's plenty of bullshit tokens just like their are plenty of bullshit stocks and currencies. There's plenty of currency and stock market manipulation too if that's your argument against. Point being its an investment like any other in which you need to do your homework.
But, the genie is out of the bottle and it isn't going back in. Instead we've got an ever expanding list of test cases and concepts with plenty of the crowd being serious about decentralization. Do some serious research regardless of what anyone says here and come to your own conclusions. It's an investment. Don't invest anymore then your willing to lose (which should be your approach across the board).
I've warned against it from day one.
For many reasons, but the most obvious are the fact it creates a one world currency as predicted in the Bible.
It can be wiped out with a simple key stroke, and if you want the govt to be able to deduct your "credits" for speaking up, there would be no better way.
Oh, and the fact it is a CCP strategy to bankrupt the world.
People's greed will always be their downfall, because money has always been the root of all evil.
Digital currency is just one step closer to a chip in your hand. When your existence is digital it is even easier to wipe you away with the push of a button.
It just smells to much like the social credit system dream scheme to me.
Great hedge. Don’t need to go all in but having even a dollar worth of Bitcoin is a good thing. Competition among currencies is a good thing as well. Chainlink is working on solving trust issues. Very fascinating Token and the autists on 4chan have gone crazy about it for a long time and made me a lot of money.
Here is a good segment from one of his recent talks https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XLL4QTgzOCU
Call me an old soul, but I think we should have never drifted away from gold, silver, etc. Something that has been sought after since the beginning of time and IMHO will never lose its value no matter how much fake money, etc. the elites create. And I don’t mean the Fed being back by gold, I mean people actually physically having it. Your paycheck is $2500 every two weeks? Great, here’s the equivalent in gold, silver, etc. I know it seems archaic and obviously won’t happen, but it just seems like everything else is subject to any kind of manipulation that evil people can and do dream up. I would also think it would keep extreme inflation from happening but these are also just the musings of a science geek who doesn’t know much about markets, money, economics, etc. ???♀️
Crypto seems to be an attempt to extract wealth from nations. Fooling people to move away from tangible assets and into digital all with the hopes of striking it rich essentially off a penny stock.
There are better ones that Bitcoin out there as far as tech and privacy options go but it takes the power OUT of the hands of the central banks and government who have only abused it.
Can bad people buy crypto? Yes. They can buy guns and anything else, it doesn't make it bad. In fact criminals are often the first to adopt game changing tech throughout history.
not buying it. every major market crash in the history of humans has been manipulated by the cabal. crypto seems much easier to manipulate.
How is Crypto easier to manipulate. Blockchain is virtually uncorruptible. Yet the fed prints money literally unchecked. Without any oversight. If you want to get back at the Cabal, we need decentralized finance. I think you have it backward.
What if ccp owns 40% of bitcoin?
I also prefer tangible assets, I'm not anti-crypto as a mode of exchange, but after having participated on some crypto-based platforms and watching the price movements for some time, I gradually came to realize that the crypto "markets" operate where the primary mover of the value of the 'asset' is the flow of newcomers. A whale buys in and suddenly the overall market jumps, a whale cashes out, and the 'market' drops significantly.
That is one of the major defining traits of a ponzi scheme. Maybe this will be less the case as their use becomes more pervasive, but then someone could just make bitcoin 2.0 and start the scam again (except as an "upgrade").
The dollar is digital. The paper just represents what we've agreed on. But 99% of all transactions are digital. Don't falsely tie your hopes to FIAT.
If I can't hold it or spend it without using technology, it isn't money.
You got a debit card?
How are dollars printed and coins and bars made?
There's different types of technology. You knew what he meant.
He said hold or spend (use), not manufacture.
Well, first the fed pulls an arbitrary number out of their ass.....
Trump tweet is against UNREGULATED cryptocurrencies. ISO20022 digital currencies are backed by precious metals.
That means likely BTC and ETH might/will go away.
So which cryptos will remain and be used for international transfers with low fees?
Puck one and invest.
Came here to say this. I had / have high hopes for the Gold-backed Ripple, but they need to emerge from their SEC legal issues clean, first.
There are others, but a few are based in Shanghai, which I can't trust. Right now looking at Tether as a frontrunner.
You want to invest your money in tether?
"Invest" is a strong word. I don't expect a sizeable gain, but that's not the point. In effect, Tether is buying gold held in a Swiss vault, even though you can use it to fund crypto transactions. Should SHTF, you can get physical delivery. It's a hedge.
Did you know that USDT is pegged to the US dollar?
Yep. That's why I'm stating away from it, Bitcoin Cash, etc. Check out XAUT.
Edit (sometimes my replies get autospezzed in the ether): Another one worth watching is UPXAU: Perth Mint, 1:1 mapping to physical gold, off-chain physical delivery. It's the newest of the stablecoin.
Okay, I see! Thanks for the clarification.
It’s looking good for ripple so far imo. Definitely glad I held during the crash.
Only crypto I own is a bunch of XRP and a little bit of XLM.
But Ripple will be THE international transfer coin imo.
Sold all my DOGE to buy GME.
To Uranus we go!
I have 625.433981 XRP -
If Gates funded Ripples escrow and EO takes his assets, then the US becomes the co-owner of the escrow. US can now back XRP with Gold.
I am not a bitcoin fan, but I think blockchain technologies are literally going to change the world.

Crypto is fiat and comes from thin air, no physical backing.

Trillions loaned to foreign business and banks without so much of an "I'm sorry". The dollar is a disaster
Theyre backed by computer processors dedicated to running the network
It is supposed to be currency but you would be an idiot to spend it on anything.
Not exactly, with some coins yes, but others are a reward for solving blocks in a block chain. You can't just create it whenever you want.
Bitcoin does, not all do.

Bitcoin is traceable all the way back to the coins creation, Monero is the untraceable one.
Thank you I will add a foot note. I have obviously never participated so my verbiage might be slightly off
I am a very old school person and I do not believe in cryptocurrency, personally. If all the computer systems crash, how would you get that back? I know it's all the rage and I'm probably missing out but I can't help feeling uncomfortable about it.
I agree LilyBee! My gut is telling me BC is just one more way for corruption to flourish!
At this point, how do you get dollars back if the system crashes?
You don't which is why I keep telling my hubby, "silver, silver, silver"!
That's what emergency cash funds are for. You should always have a minimum of $5000 in cash available.
The problem is if all systems go down for an extended period of time, no one will be able to accept credit or crypto, but they may still accept cash.
That's as silly as saying the same thing about the stockmarket. You think your stocks and 401k are printed off anywhere?
I don't think you'd be able to, but at least the banks are insured lol as if that really matters when they world is collapsing around us.
It's decentralized banking, which means it can't be manipulated because there is no "central" bank that exists, that's literally the point of it. It's supposed to give people more power than institutions.

The fact that cryptocurrencies are allowed and Liberty Dollars (backed by real commodities) was shut down speaks volumes.

I dislike bitcoin also.

Dang, bet you lost your guns too.

And the government forcing you to hand over a third of your hard earned money at gun point isn't evil?
When done by a double damned corrupt government such as we have these days yeah it is, but you attempt to move goal posts here don't you.

On March 24th I took $1,000 I had saved up and bought:
$227.25 of Silver (Market Price $25.25) $320.07 total
3 x $37.23 : American Silver Eagle Coin - Random Year - $111.69
3 x $37.44 : 2021 1 oz American Silver Eagle Coin BU - $112.32
3 x $32.02 : 1 oz Silver Rounds (New) - Design Our Choice - $96.06
$280 Gold (Hopefully - I have to process it ) @ 1,732.47/oz ($325 in total)
Belmont Paydirt XL Bucket (2.5 gallon) (From Lynch Mining) ($45.00 Shipping)
So, I need at least 5.027 grams to break even or 5.835 to cover shipping)
And
$291.03 in Crypto ($300 total)
$97.01 BTC @ $56,359.55 ($2.99 fee)
$97.01 ETH @ 1,712.91 ($2.99 fee)
$97.01 ADA @ $1.14 ($2.99 fee)
I'm curious to see which has the best return!
Crypto seems to be an attempt to extract wealth from nations. Fooling people to move away from tangible assets and into digital all with the hopes of striking it rich essentially off a penny stock.
People that don't understand crypto and how it's a decentralized revolution are anti-crypto.
It has ALL the traits of money and then some.
There are better ones that Bitcoin out there as far as tech and privacy options go but it takes the power OUT of the hands of the central banks and government who have only abused it.
Can bad people buy crypto? Yes. They can buy guns and anything else, it doesn't make it bad. In fact criminals are often the first to adopt game changing tech throughout history.
