In my opinion, it’s a colossal pump-and-dump scheme, the likes of which the world has never seen. In a pump-and-dump game, promoters “pump” up the price of a security creating a speculative frenzy, then “dump” some of their holdings at artificially high prices. And some cryptocurrencies are pure frauds. Ernst & Young estimates that 10 percent of the money raised for initial coin offerings has been stolen.

The losers are ill-informed buyers caught up in the spiral of greed. The result is a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary families to internet promoters. And “massive” is a massive understatement — 1,500 different cryptocurrencies now register over $300 billion of “value.”

Heard Chicago is not very safe these days

Scared? Seems that way. Your personal nickname seems to suite you better. FYI, I don't live in Chicago. Keep up.

G36 says
Bad weather can be depressing

Nope. Changes things up. Snow is fun too. We grow up with it and aren't massive pussies that do children's things like ride a bike.

G36 says
Snow shoveling can lead to back issues especially in places that get hit hard during winter.

Yeah, shoveling snow is learned when you're 4-5 years old here. You also learn an umbrella isn't needed for snow. You then learn that using stock photos make you look like an idiot when you invest in crypto.

Oh boy, Sissy's BSDS is bad today. Must be the bad weather (again). Oh wait! its a combination.....Bitcoin is up.....That makes sense!



Sissy's life......he actually revealed, he is shoveling snow since he is 4-5 years old. It makes all sense now why he's sick and tired of it. This poor boy!


I am going MTB, doing a long one today. Perfect weather here. Maybe spend some time on buying an umbrella today sis.

How much gains have you realized from crypto?

Congrats!!!! Lol. My bank account went up because customers paid me. My margins are 40% EVERY month. You know what that means right? I've destroyed crypto. AKA I made more than if I would have put a dime into crypto in the last 3-4 years. You clearly don't and won't ever own a business and understand that.

Trust me... that $400/wk paycheck you invested in crypto hasn't kept up. Keep spamming though. Smart people understand there are 100's of more ways to invest and make more money without crypto. Stop comparing it to stocks or metals. All of it has value, but nothing beats just having people pay you for doing nothing yourself. I've said you'll learn, but I think it might be a lost cause at this point.

Having said that, there are a lot of traders and fly-by-nighters who ruin the good name of crypto and what it tries to accomplish.

What is the problem crypto solves?
How about a platform to conduct financial transactions without a middleman? Lending, borrowing...any sort of contract.

That's blockchain.

What I meant was what problem does crypto-currency solve?
You're half right. It's the technology that's built on top of blockchain. As far as what cryptocurrency solves, it depends. In the case of Polkadot or Cardano, it's the currency that drives (and pays) people to participate in the blockchain's development. In the case of Dash or Monero, it's tender to seamlessly exchange assets. In the case of Bitcoin, it's simply digital gold as a store of value without the ability to increase the supply.

I hear you. But crypto is backed by fiat and fiat is backed by the central banks assets and the central banks assets are debt and there is not enough fiat in the world to pay off the debt.

Thus the great reset.

Do you think crypto will make it to the other side if the great reset goes forward?
968   Bitcoin   2021 Feb 6, 5:41pm  

oh boy, Sissy's BSDS was strong today. Sorry you had a bad day!
I did 30 miles on my MTB, lots of climbing. I am exhausted. I love winter in Socal. Actually, I love Socal all year round :) Thanks to Sis i appreciate where I live even more.
Sissy's stories are heartbreaking.....shoveling snow since he was 4????? poor kid.

Yep. Bitcoin is a brilliant store of value. Best performing asset. And it pulls the entire crypto market up! So stoked about this year!

I cant torture you. You've have been shoveling snow since you are 4 and want nothing more in life than sun and bitcoin. You cant afford a single Bitcoin but want to know the percentage gains of BTC? I really dont want to ruin another day for you. But ok :)

Before I show you the chart, please make sure you dont forget to breath. Also, for people with BSDS its best to sit down and take an extra pill if faced with realities.

When you are ready, take a peek. sloooowly. If the triggers are too strong, take a break >> immediately.



I hope you are doing ok. sry Bud.
973   Onvacation   2021 Feb 7, 7:41am  

Asset?

I occasionally play the lotto when it gets stupid big. I buy a quick pic and put it in my wallet, a real wallet not a flash drive. I usually leave it there for a while because I know my chances of winning.

Now if the winning ticket was worth $200,000,000 and 100,000,000 tickets were sold that would make the market cap of the lotto $2,000,000,000,000,000.

Somebody check my math.
974   Onvacation   2021 Feb 7, 7:42am  

The winning ticket is the best performing asset out there.
975   WookieMan   2021 Feb 7, 7:51am  

G36 says

I know you can't. lol. Called private business bro. Plenty private businesses outperformed everything on that list including my own. You'll learn.

But hey, keep feeding the people that are taking your money instead of making it on your own. It will click. Unfortunately I think you have massive losses on the horizon for it to finally click. You'll see. Or you just have no marketable skills for people to pay you. I know the answer, but you have to figure it out. Instead of being the donkey, why not just be the water? That's how I roll. You don't. Yet. I hope you'll find it because I wish no ill will on any, well most humans.

-14F (Russians do Celsius, right?) actually where I live this morning. Got up this morning warmed the car up and got a couple cases of beer for a lazy Sunday party with the neighbors. Won't watch the game because that's gay like crypto.

Best part is the only time today I touch the computer or tech is to come here. Don't have to watch the price of anything. Don't need to. My entertainment is the freak out y'all are having starting threads and being questioned. It really is funny. So defensive for something that's going to the moon. Wonder why?
979   porkchopXpress   2021 Feb 7, 5:32pm

980   Bitcoin   2021 Feb 7, 6:24pm  

Sorry Sis (WookieMan),
looks like this was another shitty cold day in IL. The good news here is that in a few months you will have summer too and temps should increase from 6 to 40-50's.
It was another beautiful day here in Socal. Stay warm bro!
981   Bitcoin   2021 Feb 8, 8:58am  

oh boy, double whammy for sissy....wait....its a quadruple whammy!

not even 20 degrees in IL and Bitcoin over 42k.....AND tesla buying Bitcoin.....AND Tesla accepting Bitcoin as a form of payment.

I agree. That's why I do it ;) It's fun when you know who the winner is. Just a toy at this point.

Yeah....... geography lesson. IL isn't Chicago. It mostly isn't if you've looked at a map. 0 Degrees this morning. It was beautiful. No shit, needles, bums, etc. in my area. No Karen's yelling at me to wear a mask. No traffic. I'm digging my day. Kids got tennis tonight. Life is great. I don't have to worry about spreadsheets either. Didn't know winning could be so much fun. It is. I wish others could experience it.

the quadruple whammy will push her over the edge today. Just too much for her to handle.
985   WookieMan   2021 Feb 8, 9:18am  

You're at a computer concerned about my weather. I've won the battle. LOL!. You don't fucking get it. You don't get I don't care about crypto because I don't buy it. You're childish and care about my opinion. Again, I've won the battle. You're losing and will lose with crypto. Again, I won the battle. You're a spam bot for something you've never even invested in. Oh wait, again I won. Hard to keep winning. Call me Tom Brady ;)
986   Bitcoin   2021 Feb 8, 9:22am

its too much for her today. sorry sis!
the quadruple whammy hit like a nuclear bomb. he even forgot easiest math 80-28=72
probably shaky hands too

1) Tesla buying BITCOIN
2) Tesla accepting BITCOIN
3 Bitcoin over 42k
4) shitty weather in IL

sis, you should have put your bucks in Bitcoin instead of LUV.

Thats part of the BSDS. The person with BSDS is so distressed that even the easiest math becomes an obstacle. Other symptoms are anger outbursts. A remedy would be to move to a state with more sun and/or to buy some satoshis.

I know, I know, running to Patrick. Fuck off. @Patrick - There needs to be a strike count for quote manipulators. This guy is too afraid to even have a debate. Does he not realize that people can see what I actually wrote? How retarded can one be? Same image after same image. Link after link. The only content is negative. Has no other discussion of value in any other thread. Nauseating at this point.
991   Patrick   2021 Feb 8, 10:54am  

Huh, that is a good point. Quotes should not be editable, only selectable and include-able. I will see if I can do this.

I also suggest not engaging with the guy. He thrives on the conflict.

Thats 1.5B that we know of....what about SpaceX. its not publicly traded and therefore no SEC filing. Also, we dont know how much Bitcoin was bought by Elon Musk personally. We only know Bitcoin and all of crypto is skyrocketing in price.

so many people told WookieMan this. He cant stop posting on Bitcoin threads. Its an obsession. That's why he absolutely hates bullish Bitcoin news and people sharing this. I call it a Bitcoin derangement syndrome.

What would help is if you buy some satoshis. Maybe convert your portfolio of 100 shares of Luv.
