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

@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.

WookieMan says

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.

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

The trolling by the Bitcoin haters is pretty low.

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.

Patrick says

And it's me marking things as personal.

Ah. I can take it, but up to you. I literally am asking to be sold on crypto and it hasn't happened. I'll try to calm down and chill on these. I just know it's a scam and it's frustrating. No answers to something that is so great.

WookieMan says

bawahahahaha, your frustration is that you cant mute Bitcoin investors.

G36 says

Never have tried to mute BTC traders. Just ask questions which none of you have ever answered. Digital gold is not an answer. Gold is a physical asset that can be used to make things and I'm not a gold/metal bug. What is valuable about BTC besides trading it in USD?

now that Suze Orman and Kevin O'Leary jump on the Bitcoin rocket ship there is no turning back. To the moon we go ;)

What's very interesting is that the retail masses are not here yet. The run up is mainly driven by smart money / Institutional investors.
That's an indication we are still very early in the cycle! Great buying opportunity!

Prakash expects Bitcoin to be a 10Trillion USD market. Basically eating golds lunch. I think its worth a read and he got good points.

It all starts with Bitcoin, a (₿TC) ‘cryptocurrency' based on blockchain distributed ledger technology (DLT).

The first-ever decentralized payment network meshing all noble elements of an open-source electronic cash.



Beautiful! Thank you Satoshi Nakamoto!

I didnt realize $5B was invested by Microstrategies into Bitcoin! 5Billion!!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-hoard-fuels-one-world-191517148.html

Bitcoin Hoard Fuels One of World’s Biggest Crypto Fortunes

(Bloomberg) -- It’s the latest corporate strategy for companies from Tesla Inc. to Square Inc.: shift a portion of cash reserves into cryptocurrencies as digital assets become more mainstream.

Still, few have gone as far as MicroStrategy Inc. Eight months after its first investment, the software firm has a Bitcoin holding worth more than $5 billion.

Shares of MicroStrategy have rocketed almost 600% since mid-July

Bitcoin prices

December close: 28,992
January close: 33,141
February close: 45,240
Mid-March: 55,000

Holy cow...and we are just 3-4 month into this bull cycle! Congrats to all Bitcoin holders!!

Bitcoin says

Congrats to all Bitcoin holders!!

They all blocked you. But continue with the solo circle jerk while you can... lol.

I knew you would not like the excellent performance of Bitcoin. As a Bitcoin hater you hope/predict Bitcoin will go to 1.2k.

But here is the reality for you:

December close: 28,992
January close: 33,141
February close: 45,240
Mid-March: 55,000

Sry :)

Wookie, my take on it is, gold is very useless with respect to industrial applications. At most, it's used in minute quantities for electronics. It's divisibility and nonreactiveness (uselessness) gives it it's optimal function for use as money. Bitcoin essentially emulates that through it's divisional properties. However, you have the added benefit of being able to electronically transfer it. Whether that sold you or not, that's my take.

very nice comments!
BTW., the guy predicted Bitcoin will go to 1.2k which was the worst prediction in the history of Patnet I believe. I think there is a credibility issue.

WookieMan is accusing me but provides no backup/support/proof for this claim. I am flagging his post because these are accusations without proof and have nothing to do with the topic (Tesla/Bitcoin). Its very toxic.

Almost all active users block you. You manipulated quotes. You don't answer questions on crypto when asked about the topic. You then link spam and just straight out spam. That is what is toxic.

Why is BTC valuable?

Let's see what this brings us beside the same copy and pasted response with no original thought.

@Patrick
in response to his second comment, I need to flag again.
Absolutely no proof/backup/support for your claims and then quickly changing the topic. To say that there are only 12 active users on Patnet is yet another thing that is highly doubtful.

@WookieMan
Please remain on topic and when you have such severe accusations you need to provide proof (screenshots/example/links) not just empty words.

OOOOOoooooooOOOoooo. Someone is scared.

Flag it. Go for it. Never mentioned a user FYI. lol.

@WookieMan / @Patrick
very unprofessional and personal comments by WookieMan. None of this has anything to do with the success of Bitcoin and Tesla buying 1.5B USD worth of Bitcoin. Please follow the rules

Also the truth isn't necessarily personal if it's what the person does. Both comments you flagged were fine in my book, but I'll let someone else judge. Didn't know the truth could sting one so much.

You made accusations but have no proof. And you make personal comments that have nothing to do with the topic. Thats why we flag it. Sorry that annoys you. If you remain on topic and stay off personal stuff there shouldnt be an issue. In a forum you need rules and people to enforce rules, otherwise it goes to shit.

Bitcoin says

Lol, this isn't a profession. I asked you to prove Tesla has bought or sold anything. You've yet to do so. Just post a link or chart.

I don't think Tesla is in BTC anymore. Prove me wrong...

Bitcoin says

You made accusations but have no proof.

Dude, you altered quotes. Patrick even put you in moderation. As usual you lie. That's not personal, it's reality. I'm sure you'll mark this one personal. Just man up and say you have no clue what crypto is and you can make money off it. Just stop selling snake oil here. It's bull shit.

Correct, Tesla bought 1.5B USD worth of Bitcoin to HODL longterm.

No actual evidence as usual.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/08/tesla-buys-1point5-billion-in-bitcoin.html

lots of evidence that Tesla bought Bitcoin. Not a single link that would indicate Tesla has any intentions of selling. Wait until their earnings report and you will see BTC reported on their balance sheet. Just because someone wishes that Tesla sold Bitcoin doesnt mean it happenend.

Good. We can go back to topic now. Thanks Patrick for keeping the forum clean.

Bitcoin says

No evidence they bought. Just the "intention" to do so. Musk is smarter than you or myself. We'll see. If they bought, they got in and out. Leverage with $1.5B means you can make shit tons of money quickly. And that's what he did.

How about create a new comment and not edit it? You'd have more credibility. Either way, I think most people have ignored this thread at this point. You're shooting blanks.

looks like I hit the nail on the head

Tesla might have started a trend here:


https://news.bitcoin.com/chinese-public-company-meitu-buys-bitcoin-treasury-90-million-cryptocurrencies/

One of China’s top internet app makers, Meitu Inc., has purchased more bitcoin for its treasury. The company now holds about $90 million in cryptocurrencies. Meitu is listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange and its flagship app has more than 1 billion users worldwide.
