Bitcoin is more fiat than the fiat that you need to buy it with and the fiat you get when you sell it.

It's not even a good gamble.

do ya think it's going to the moon and replacing the dollar?

Hey Bitcoin Fluffers!

How's the butthurt going?

Bitcoin is an invention to siphon off excess cash/liquidity caused by 2 decades of ZIRP and the collapse of the US industrial economy. I half expect a Harris/Waltz executive order to convert SS contributions to bitcoins.

The chief advantage of gold over bitcoin is that I can eat my gold, shit it out in the toilet, and recollect it unscathed. Let's try that with a bit wallet.

Butthurt why? Because of the volatility? That's how I've made a ton of money from it.

You can do the same with a lot more value simply etching your seed phrase on some non-reactive metal. Or your key. All you really need to store bitcorn is your brain or a pencil and paper. So there is really no need to eat shit if your goal is to sneak out of the country.

Yes, it does.

It goes through an extended period (more than 3 to 5 years) of moving sideways.

The fact that Larry Fink of Blackrock endorsed Bitcoin and that it is readily available to institutional and retail investors through Bitcoin ETFs is enough to realize its here to stay.

As a fiat currency hedge, invest no more than 3% of assets or equivalent to one-half of a Bitcoin, whichever is greater.

Invest 8% of assets in silver and gold, and 8% in an oil and gas ETF; so 19% of assets are hedged.

Read what Larry Fink of Blackrock has publicly stated recently about Bitcoin, specifically after Bitcoin ETFs were made available to retail investors.

That's because they own a lot. I don't care the fiat price tagged to it. It's a penny stock trading wise. One person can own a bunch and move it and we have no clue. It's marketing. It's not a hedge. And it's not here to stay. You're better off buying a Cyber Truck and holding onto it for 40 years. Once they stop production it will go through the roof value wise. Literally the reason people are buying them. Buy it and toss it in a garage for 40 years under a cover and you have a $400-600k car.

Hoping to make it another 40 years, but you could always pass it down to your kids. I wish I never got rid of my Pontiac Aztek. People would spend big money on it now. Not 6 figures, but worth more than what it was purchased for.

Bitcoin is the most fiat of fiats. You buy it with fiat. It’s valued in fiat. You sell it for fiat. What it's not is an investment.

Play with it like you would a slot machine. Put your money in in the hopes of a payout, but don't be surprised if you lose it.

Larry Fink of Blackrock

Had to look him up


Not a fan.

Don't bet against Larry Fink, which means don't bet against or count out Bitcoin.

Thing about gold is that if the price drops 70%, you still got the gold.

If Bitcoin drops 70%, it's probable that all the Bitcoin miners go bust because of the continuing expense of mining it. Then Bitcoin goes to ZERO because it requires the miners to have any value at all.

So, with Bitcoin there is an event horizon where it gets sucked into nothingness.

This guy gets it. Trade it in the meantime if you like risk. 95% likely don't have the appetite for it. So you have 5% of crypto buyers on the planet and it's likely that 90% is owned by 10 people and the others lost their key and don't even know they own any.
