Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

If you see any photos/objects you like let us know. They are available to be turned into NFTs.

Loopring and GME partnership leaked and LRC is up 25 percent already today. Probably not done either.

^Log off and go kick yourself in the nuts please.

my nuts are so large they impede my kicking motion.

LRC up another .05 cents since my last post pretty volatile great for 5-15 mins swings right now.

Probably sold it to buy some other meme that they hoped would moon

Meme coins come and go.

This is the most fantastic thing to come to traditional finance in anyone's lifetime. Sure, you can bet on a dog (which I refuse), but, you actually can be involved in a community that is actively trying to disrupt and challenge traditional finance from the ground up. And that is why I am a part of it. I don't think I'm going to get rich, not at my base levels, but, it's way more than my both immigrant parents ever could have done in their lifetime working at 18% interest rates for 40 years to pay off a 900 sq. ft. home to raise 2 kids with a waitress salary and a security guard from Naples and Donegal.

Now that I've buried them, I can take my little pittance of a couple hundo every couple months (my money, not theirs, they died in debt) into my deep research projects that I actually know the teams of and support and one day buy a honda. Or just wait 20 years and maybe retire. Little guys in retail matter too.

I have way more knowledge about defi than 99%, I have shit for capital, but I'm still averaging 10% overall easy with every fluctuation, and I know that it is better than what wall street or big institutions can even approach.

I cleaned out my parents' houses in complete debt. I've never had a credit card in my over 40 years. My cash is mine. I save, I do shitton's of research, years worth. That's what I'm capable of, and that's what I do.

I'll probably die with it all. I live on nothing.

My only living relative, my twin sister, has been begging me to take her money and put it into crypto because her husband refuses. I also refused, and said that is your decision, I'll tell you how and make it easy, but DYOR. She said that was too much for her. Well, sorry sis. I don't want you to watch volatility and blame me. That's like dealing with Mom and Dad, and I'm long over that shit.

And you never helped with that, and I have a long memory.

TMI.

Thanks for sharing.

Keep grinding. The first million is the hardest.

So at what point do we get to dunk on everyone who said it was a bubble at 30k, 35k, 40k, 45k, 50k, 55k, and 60k? Not to mention 25k, 20k, 15k, 10k, 5k, 2k, 1k, 500, 200, 100, 50, 10, and 1?

You missed the good ol' days when puregravity was here. I would tell you to go back and read his bubble proclamation posts, but he deleted most of them. haha

His spirit lives on though through a few who are trying to carry the anti-crypto torch. But they walk a fine line between calling BTC a ponzi (despite claiming they own some) and shilling doggie coins. Others just chime in every once in a while every time there is a 5% drop to say, "I told you so!" Some of them have been doing that for a looooong time without realizing their self-pw3ns.

Can you post examples of who said “I told you so” about a BTC dip? Examples of mags calling BTC a ponzi? (let’s limit to the time since your boogeyman PG left - since you claim these posters are carrying his anti-crypto torch). This should be easy as you are saying there is lots of this going on for a “looong time”.

I’m curious to read these posts you speak of. Thanks!

[stalefish3169]

Pretty sure you'll hear from all of them when the bubble really bursts--below $1000 and $500 things should start to get fun. (But tulips will always be a good store of value!!)

You’re becoming a pretty good contra-indicator here

Bitcoins totally not "funny money" right? Ha....

Make your money on your risk, but don't try to sell me some bullshit pipe dream Bitcoin will save the world. That's a damned joke.

Bitcoin is not an investment.

Because you got lucky in the speculative bubble.

If you seriously consider this an investment, you will never retire.

You are young and very naive.

Come on man….Bitcoin will not benefit anyone who doesn’t already own Bitcoin (and has for a while) or does not have the capital to acquire it.

Bitcoin growth from here on out is primarily the rich getting richer, along with a few hodlers with a lower cost basis.

stalefish3169

total outsiders perspective here.....you're straight delusional. Like, fucking clownshoes, man

Killer store of value that drops like a stone from time to time...seems super stable...whats that nearly $20K in a week?

At the rate things are going I don't think there will be a Bitcoin in 5 years. So in essence the price will be lower because there will be no price.

This.

I'm fairly certain that an *actually* useful digital currency is inevitable.

Pretty sure it isn't bitcoin.

And we aren't even into the 1st inning. I'm pretty sure that they haven't even sung the national anthem yet...

If it were me I'd hang onto the cash until the next crash. When the btc bubble bursts its going to take the stock market down with it, and real estate too.

The last place a person of your age wants to put money is crypto.

The most important thing here is to have fun!

In that spirit, I recently allocated about 5% of my crypto funds into LINK so I can play along! I like the looks of the chart (and ETH TA), the AP news, and long-term outlook.

FWIW, I didn't sell anything. Just converted some of my Winkle Bucks.

None of my posts say what they claim you say.

You're a contraindicator because whenever you posted on a run up it top ticked.

My second quote about rich getting richer is still true. It is a capital game now - no one is turning 100 bucks into millions at this point. If bitcoin hits 600k that's 10x. The only people making 1 million off that are putting up 100k now.

And since you refuse to understand this point, I hold BTC. probably half the people you just quoted hold. But keep acting like a cult member.

Great stuff thanks!

None of these quotes mention owning BTC though. None of the quotes say “told you it would drop!”

Got any that back up your original post?

Or are you just pointing out that there are BTC/ crypto skeptics?

Because that’s not the bombshell you seem to think it is.

Nor is crypto skepticism the reason why people find your posting style insufferable. But I’ve says that a hundred times and it doesn’t register with you so whatevs.

Shera is as big a BTC fan/optimist as you are yet her posts are both helpful, grounded in reality, and most importantly humble in the face of an unknown future.

Feel free not to learn from me. But do us all a favor and learn from her.

"It can't be a bubble because it hasn't burst yet!"

That's genius thinking right there.

Thanks for posting that, I stand by my original statement. Could you please provide a date for reference? In 4 years +- we can look back and laugh.

For context, I said, "welcome back 50k, hope you all bought the dip" or similar. You thought you were smart by pointing out that price went down shortly after that while ignoring the macro trend. Shortly thereafter, BTC rallied to put in a new all time high. I've said over and over that this a long-term play for me. I'm thinking in years not days and weeks. On that note, I don't recall suggesting people are going to "get rich" from buying a 100 dollars worth of BTC that's going to turn into a million in a month. If people want to flat out gamble on shitty meme coins like SHIB, they can play that game.

And thanks for calling me a cult member again. I'll have another quote to post when the second worst benny has a temper tantrum demanding to see proof that people have said mean things about me.

I’m not so much “demanding” as I am calling you out for your out of control persecution complex that cunts up an otherwise fantastic thread. On balance you make this thread worse. I’d say “vibes as that sinks in” but history proves it won’t.

In other news - Woof coin is up 1900%!! Congrats to holders! Forget the butthurt cult members that can’t stop saying “probably nothing” - let’s all win!

Disclaimer: me posting about Woof coin should not be seen as a personal affront or insult to anyone not holding 😂 - Nor should Woof coin success be seen as a condemnation of any other coins with better or worse fundamentals.

#justheretohelpmags

I think the 10 minutes I spent digging makes a strong case for my argument. If saying that BTC is dropping to $1000 and won't exist in 5 years doesn't suffice for "told you it would drop" I can't help you. Like I said it's all there, except for pg's deleted posts if people want to litigate the past. I'm don't feel the need to quote more, I'm not your errand boy. Great thing about BTC is it doesn't care about your feelings or China banning it. It just keeps creating blocks every 10 minutes or so.

I surmise people find my posting (and that of BTC maxis) so insufferable because it blows up their comfortable little world view.

Shera is great. I'm glad she's here. I wish there were more ladies in snow sports and crypto. But she is she and I am me. Nobody is forcing you to post here. Put me on mute if you want to I don't care. I've never muted anyone because I like hearing all perspectives, even ones I disagree with. That doesn't mean that I won't share my own opinions if I disagree. Isn't that the whole point of this forum?

Hey, props to you for standing by your statement. Let's check back in 2026.

Sorry to call you out personally, I'm sure you're a nice guy in IRL. I can imagine if I was your age and had spent a huge chunk of my life on windy Lone Peak, I might think BTC was nonsense too.

[bennymac]

Like I said it's all there if people want to litigate the past.

That’s ironic and rich coming from you 😆

I surmise people find my posting (and that of BTC maxis) so insufferable because it blows up their comfortable little world view.

Nope. For the thousandth time nope. Plenty of BTC holders in here clearly find your behavior and posting style insufferable. For us it has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Shera is a BTC fan yet her humble and helpful nature is the polar opposite. See how no one is slagging her?

I’m now at 1001 posts trying to point out your cunting of this thread. Call me insane for still trying. Yes you’ve posted helpful things before - just cut out the persecution complex. PG is gone - he can’t touch you no more.

And if me posting about a random shitcoin triggers you then take your own advice hypocrite.

[stalefish3169]

I’m butthurt that I’m not featured in your quote post.

But it’s not a store of value because its value fluctuates wildly and it has no inherent value. It’s a speculative investment, which is fine and all. I don’t understand why we try so hard to make it something else.
