Exactly what part of the S curve do you think we’re in? Are we still waiting for adopters, Anyway, it’s been fun. Take care. When it hits $8,000 (fiat dollars) later this year I’ll buy you a beer.
Call it an opinion all you want. The price of btc over the last 18 months says otherwise.
IFinex, the scammers that operated Bitfinex and the laughable Tether. Yeah different from FTX, dummy.
The value of all the coins are manipulated by the centralized exchanges, plain and simple. Every time one is exposed as having no money to back their users, the price of btc drops. It’s like watching dominos in slow motion. Who’s next? How much will your precious investment (oh sorry, currency) be worth when Gemini, Kraken, Binance are exposed?
And yet you completely fail to point out anything that I’m saying is wrong. All you’re doing is saying “you don’t understand.” I make a pretty compelling argument that crypto is a corrupt monetary system backed completely by fiat, with an inflated value fueled by greed and manipulated by billionaires. I didn’t even get into the specifics of the scam iFinex and exchanges pulled on everyone. It was a neat idea until those fuckers saw a way to print money faster than the federal reserve. It still might have some value someday if we can go back to private wallets without exchanges that can shut your account down for sending money to a protesting truck driver in Canada. I’m sorry if you lost money and you’re trying to argue for crypto’s currency legitimacy in hopes that others will hold on for dear life and the market will miraculously upturn. Therein lies the problem - you and everyone argues that “it’s a currency that’ll bring down The Man, man,” and financial institutions are shorting, inflating, manipulating, and just plain scamming. The value just isn’t there, at least not $16k/coin. Maybe $4 (as in $4.00, not thousands). It stings, but my friend, and any other HODLers bored into reading this, get the fuck out of the market and buy something with actual value before another exchange announces “oops we don’t actually have any money.”
Or yeah, maybe I don’t understand.
Nope, I understand fully.
And yet I do understand completely, so I speak. Maybe it’s you who are speaking about what you don’t understand.
You seem to want to criticize where it suits you, but you don't want to go deeper.
Attacking the messenger and not the message. I’ve clearly touched a nerve. You could look at that.
I agree it’s not an investment. That’s where it went wrong. The same (and worse) elements that corrupt the traditional money supply corrupted btc.
And yes, it was fun before that. It was a drop in the financial ocean, literally a few million dollars against the massive trillions in circulation. Definitely not nearly enough to put any pressure on any government controlled monetary supply. Maybe if Dubai started trading with China and using btc as a currency, now that would be pressure. But some Joe buying some weed off a tor site isn’t exactly going to have the central banks shaking in their boots.
Alas, the corrupt cancers that infect the traditional money supply hit btc, ftx, dogecoin, oprahcoin, etc. Exchanges creating value where it doesn’t exist, pumping up the value, while government entities track and disable transactions easier than you can say “Trudeau hates truckers.” One could make an argument that the cesspool that crypto has become is the wet dream of the very thing its users profess to fight against.
You seem like a smart guy, but unfortunately one that lost a little value and is hodling to try and make up for it. Maybe I’m wrong about you. Maybe I’m wrong about all this. Who knows, who cares. At the end of the day we’re both going to do what we want anyway. Maybe someday I’ll buy you drinks if you’re wrong, or you’ll buy me some if I’m wrong.
Yeah BTC was fun at a few bucks per coin. I mined in a pool and generated a few, and had at my peak 13. I think I still have a wallet on a drive with a single btc on it. But, it was fun when was simply a currency. It’s not a fucking investment like everyone treats it now. But hey, let everyone go ahead and hodl. The savvy “investors” can collectively figure out how to have their cake and eat it too.
There’s a video of a typical brawl in a Waffle House, with the shitty customers being shitty. One threw a chair at that employee behind the counter, and she essentially caught and deflected it. In another clip, that same employee can be seen punching the living shit out of a customer who hopped over the counter (like my wife said, “someone’s father taught her how to fight!”).
The employee is being turned into an internet hero. She’ll probably lose her job and get sued while those animals go on being animals.
Wow you’re like a crypto poet. You should NFT that shit.
Oh good, another reason for central banks to fail.
All crypto are ultimately backed by fiat, greed, and delusions of grandeur. Go buy some precious metals, dweeb.
Oh not this shit again
Will do. I’ve been using colloidal silver for random things for years, never thought to use it for this.
Ugh. Hope you feel better fren.
I have tons of colloidal silver. Internally?
I rarely get sick, had the flu once in 30-40 years (and that was the one year I got a flu shot). These last two weeks though.. Holy shit. About a week and a half ago I had something that knocked me on my ass for 24 hours. The same with my wife.
Then I got better almost immediately. THEN a few days later it came back with a vengeance. That was a week ago, and I’ve been laid up since. The first few days I had a cough that was so bad I couldn’t breathe (luckily my wife is an RN and got me to breathe over a bowl of steaming water, which helps immensely). That’s gotten better thankfully, now my wife is starting again.
It’s probably the flu, but who the fuck knows. For what it’s worth, my wife and I are unjabbed. We’re talking every vitamin, supplements, Home therapy, and a certain horse product for good measure. I’m the only one who leaves the house to food shop and go to church, so if I picked up anything, it’s from there. Or or stupidly vaxxed son brought home some mutant shredding strain of whatever (he works with the public so that’s more likely).
I can’t begin to explain what this story has meant to me. ✝️

That would explain the increasing stupidity of my old high school friend who got the jab,m. He went to the ER a few times for pulmonary embolisms right after, and went in to get the second jab, and a couple of boosters. He’s been in the ER 8 times now. He’s on blood thinners, anti migraine meds (because of the thinners), his veins are scarred and painful, and he’s had like two bone-shattering falls (like seriously, twisted an ankle walking on the sidewalk and broke it). All kinds of shit. And he’s in his early 50s and (was) fit, rode his bike to work daily, that kind of thing.
I forgot about that movie.
It’s so hard to imagine draft age kids today overseas fighting in a war (actually hard to imagine them doing anything for that matter).
Good. Maybe this will teach morons what celebrities are all about. Probably not, but maybe.
Only if you consider the possibility that she’s Jon Benet Ramsey grown up.
So it’s an investment. Thanks.
