WookieMan says

invest in crypto

About time! Should have invested in Bitcoin in November of last year instead of buying your 100 shares of LUV. could have enough for a DP in IL

WookieMan says

People follow Musk and he's literally said he thinks the human race is fucked. One of the wealthiest guys smoked pot on a meatheads podcast. Do some of you even understand what he is?

Actually, in some ways, he's not too dissimilar from the Larry Ellison of the 90s with one difference, Larry was a realist and actually spoke about tangible things like media-on-demand, consolidation of the backoffice, rise of biotech (as mainstream vs trad pharma), etc, etc. This is stuff which all happened starting in the early 2000s and beyond.

Sure, Ellison didn't talk about landing men on Mars but think it about, why would anyone want to be responsible for a bunch of dead ppl on a rock? It sounds good on a sound bite but get real, that first crew to Mars will all be dead, long before the journey home.

Tesla started a huge trend.

others will follow.

Tesla is already starting to sell. I don't think some of our users here understand their station in life. $10k versus $100M in a week. That $10k is your life for G. The $100M is nothing. It drops they still have more than the above average American makes in a lifetime by huge amounts.

Sure there might be pissed off stock holders, but what does it matter? If it's not criminal, you can do anything with OPM. I don't like to play games with $$$ where there's people that don't care about losing. You end up the loser chasing a get rich scheme.

Agree with @Wookieman and @Blue

Tesla buying Bitcoin for 1.5B USD is just the start. A huge trend has started.

Cathie Wood's ARK Invest now holds more than 7 million shares in the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust

If you are a larger company, why wouldnt you convert some of your cash into Bitcoin? Its the smart thing to do.

Cash is bitcoin, lol. It's not going to overtake the USD. Maybe lay off the weed or something. Brain cells aren't firing for you.

Cell are replaced with bits. They will be reset to all 0's soon. I had a conversation with someone who made more than double on ARK. He feels that it can tank any time and looking to book profits. I thought Cathi was replaced recently.

Awesome. That's been my whole deal, trade the fuck out of all this if you understand it. Play with house money. It's not an investment though.

Pumping it reeks of being underwater on your investment. It's penny, pinkie world. You can for sure make money, but you can lose a lot too. 3 months don't make up for 3 years of dead money. I'm the turtle and it's paid off. The rabbit is ahead right now and about to get hit by a car or a SpaceX rocket... because he conned people. Oh well.

Unrealized gains are just that. Bragging about a value and not taking it to the bank is amateur hour.

The BTC haters could have invested in Bitcoin and made a lot of money.

If @WookieMan would have invested his stimulus money into BTC he could have made over 600%. Instead he bought 100 shares of LUV. Lol

I guess some people like WookieMan like to stay poor forever.

G36 says

stimulus money

You got stimulus money and you work in San Diego? Are you some kind of blue collar occupation? (Not that there is anything wrong with that).

We soon see a 1Trillion dollar market cap for BITCOIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I invested a shit ton. only 28K in Bitcoin but highly invested in ETH, Litecoin, Cardano, Link, Dot, 0x, etc.

Not sure what this was marked personal and put in moderation. This was a completely fair comment.

@Buck_Fiden, yes, WookieMan does night shifts and gets paid very little. He should have put his stimulus in Bitcoin.....but he didnt. instead he put it in LUV.

G36 says

Work all times of the day. Usually the night shift is out with clients having a nice dinner and a beer. We can do that in IL without a mask. And then while I sleep the business still prints money. I know that's a novel idea to some, but I don't have to invest in scams and get "rich" quick schemes. I love my life, it's probably the best most have seen.

Bitcoin at new all time high! Happy Friday to all BTC holders.....approaching 54k !!

Bitcoin at 56k! niiiice

"Bitcoin may replace bonds, Cathie Wood says

‘Fixed income has done 40 years of really hard work…If Bitcoin represents a new asset class, why not invest in it?’"

Smart woman!

I'm thinking that at some point shorting lumber futures might be the next biggest thing.

making lots of money with crypto is easy.....buy and HODL. I tried and did it. sold some Cardano and BinanceCoin at 10-11x or was it 12x? Anything about 3x within a few months is insane :)

If you are not experienced, stay away from trading. HODL and dont panic sell. Not much more to it. Expect volatility but during a bull market you make money HODL'ing.

Rule #1 dont panic sell when it goes down
Rule #2 dollar cost average in and out
Rule #3 do #1 and #2

G36 says

Lol. You make no money. Stop spamming.

@Patrick I know this came up recently, but quote editing should be locked out or the person that does so should be banned. What I quoted above is pure shit. I don't know if it's something you can code to prevent editing of quotes. It's a sickness...

daddy, daddy, help! @Wookieman

G36 says

daddy, daddy, help! @Wookieman

Deliberately misquoting a person is pretty damn low and should most definitely be stopped if possible.

@Patrick, I agree with Wookie.

@patrick Spamming inboxes with @username isn't cool either.

I don't want to stop all @username messages just ones from immature users that won't engage in serious debate.

Maybe a special junior account without spam privilege?

@onvacation @Wookieman @WineHorror1
The trolling by the Bitcoin haters is pretty low. I dont want to ignore them but I do treat them as they should be treated.

@Onvacation, you can just turn of notification and you wont get an email. Maybe spam/troll less?

Misquoting someone is lying. Are you a liar? Also, I don't want to speak for Wookie but I believe all he's doing to taking the other side of the coin you are taking is all. You are goading everyone to buy bitcoin. Are you a salesman for bitcoin? If so, you have no responsibility to the investor, do you? Wookie is saying what he believes bitcoin is. I tend to agree with Wookie but, yes, it does look as though bitcoin is on fire. I remember when it was on fire all the way to 20K and then it was REALLY on fire and everyone was trying to get off all the way down to 4k. No, I do not know where it is ultimately going to go and neither do you.

@Onvacation

You're right, there should be a way to not hear from specific users.

I think if you ignore a user, you won't get any @ emails from them.

It make a user-specific no-email list would be harder, but I can do it.

You're right, there is a policy against that and he did it again.

So G36 is now at least temporarily downgraded to having all his comments go through moderation.

I think this should be a civil place to discuss issues.

Misquoting, spamming with clickbait and no relevant quote, getting personal about life choices, using @username after asking not to, and other things are uncivil.

Moderating uncivil people is easier than trying to code away incivility.

G36 says

Dude, we asked questions and you don't answer. That's not trolling. You took it there with selective and edited quotes of others. You took it there under another username in the past. I don't want to spam the forum with back and forth BS because you can't answer simple questions that we all know you know the answer to. Just answer for yourself as a man.

I've been wrong plenty of times on this site. I'll admit it. Should you have sold at $18k USD for BTC, no. It still doesn't negate that BTC and crypto is a con. It's a scam. I've said dozens, maybe hundreds of times now trade it and know your risk. It's not an asset. It's not a currency. It's a video game that will go out of popularity.

Posting a link with the first line of the article and no thought is spam. Plain and simple. Not responding to legit questions and making personal comments is trolling. You know what you're doing, I'll give you that.

Bitcoin holds up nicely. We might see an inverse head and shoulder. Our Bitcoin haters will be disappointed again soon.

G36 says

Explain why.

lol, take a TA class? look at a chart? or just troll :)

G36 says

I asked you to explain. Why does BTC hold up nicely?

Also, because you've manipulated quotes many times, Patrick decided you need to be moderated with each post. Don't manipulate and maybe it will go back to normal. Just follow the rules. Not a difficult concept. Don't worry though, just approved your personal comments anyway.

And it's me marking things as personal.
