And if you don't know who the fool is...
It's not foolish to not buy bitcoin. We can still cash out our fiat accounts for bitcoin IF it becomes the "currency of the future".
doesn't mean you cannot make money off of fools.

I agree with this statement. Actually for investors who like to be very diversified buying current selling isn't a bad Idea to park some cash and hold as a hedge with reasonable SL 9 k+/- or there about which I actually don't see price hitting that low but of coarse it could $8800+/- is a bit of a magnet on the downside. I see $15000 1st strike and $23000 2nd. I personally have no faith BTC will take over fiat or even be the 1 digital king in the end game for many reasons however with the current perception scared FOMO money is the best $$$ and could make BTC move fast and furious, and no Obummer needed to make it happen. I believe there is still enough movement and room to acquire house shares and harvest a persons original investment.

Lol. Finally recovered to June 2019 prices during one of the best economies until COVID. Congrats. You know the numbers the prior year. 2 years of nothingness unless you’re short term trading it. Almost every asset class performed better from June 2018 until COVID. Like I said, congrats on making the big bucks.
Bitcoin over 11k lol
What happened to the no-coiners and bitcoin haters? And ALL those people that predicted bitcoin will go to zero?

I don't know why I keep biting. BTC is toast long term. When the 21M coins get mined it's game over. You know this, but don't want to admit it. Transactions will literally stop as there's no reason for the spreadsheet to keep going. The idea of a digital resource becoming more valuable as it becomes more scarce is a joke. Certain industries need diamonds, gold, silver, etc. No one "needs" BTC. No one. And even the commodities I mention, we can go without and find alternatives and those alternative commodities then become more valuable.
Finite resources get replaced by science and ingenuity. Bitcoin is a childs game that was likely created and manipulated by some video game maker. Didn't realize it would become popular and is now manipulating the market probably holding half the coins. You're just a character in their game, you don't know it though. I'd actually consider trading BTC, but it's a rigged game. Fuck no on holding though. That's pure stupidity at levels that put you on the short bus.
I bet the bitcoin haters mentioned that BTC pulled back a few days ago but they don’t mention that it’s back over 11.5k now, right?

Who cares. If you're just doing standard practices and maxing out 401k's and Roths if you don't get a pension, you'll be just fine. Yes, morons can get rich doing stupid things, but you're better off playing lotto in most cases. And then as most lotto winners do, fuck up and can't manage money because they were losers with it before they got rich by buying lotto tickets.
@Patrick - Don't know if this would be a minor tweak or a big one. Anyway to add ignore to a thread/op instead of a blanket ignore of the user? And not ignore the thread/op, but just that user within said thread/op.
Even though Newbie has me on ignore, there has been a topic or two where I like his thoughts. This one being the opposite of that. But being the bigger man I can acknowledge when someone has some decent thoughts. And yes, I know I could just ignore it, but I do like seeing others opinions on things like crypto without them waving around their jazz hands.
Basically, would it be at all possible to ignore Newbie within this thread, but still read others comments on this thread AND still see Newbie's stuff in other threads? Ignoring him would just block everything of his/hers if I understand correctly.

Happens a lot though. I just don't like to bitch, but I'm obviously doing that now. Of recent the Covid threads have been bad. You can measure the weight of a gallon of water, but we have users that say you're wrong about the weight just because. I can live with that because I know some people still believe the earth is flat. Some of those people still have valid thoughts on other topics though that aren't batshit crazy.
Ignore works great for the trolls/bots. But I'm hesitant to use ignore on people that are just misinformed on one specific topic. Not to pick on a user, but some of Rin's OP's I could do without. But he has extremely intelligent things to say about other stuff besides massive tits and dolls. If I blanket ignore I miss the good nuggets.
I'll be honest and know I'm not supposed to, but Newbie is a moron when it comes to crypto. I'm willing to acknowledge that he has valid thoughts on other topics though (not so much on policing and we know about BTC). If I had the ability to ignore those individual posts, I think it would be a positive. I don't code, but would it be too much to add ignore to the original post and just have it disappear from your feed?

He dropped $250k for a charity event that had him watching a football game with Roger Goodell because he hates him. He just trolled these guys bigly and I get the feeling they picked up on it but not totally, but hysterical either way. Bitcoin... lol.

And, judging by your inability to show a single screenshot of you winning a single penny at that table, you are one of them. Which explains the desperate and childish (and failing) attempts to stoke FOMO in patnet readers.

Musk will mine asteroids if it makes money to settle Mars with a million people. He is singularly focused on one goal, which drives all other activities.
In the meantime, he's kinda busy making money with Cars, Space Launches, Boring Company, and Internet in space (Starlink.) So he can get us to Mars.
Bezos has already commented he will be in the space mining market too.

What you fail to realize is there's the mining of BTC, and then there's the mental mining of actual humans who will buy or sell BTC. The emotion. FOMO. You'll get surges, so like I've always said you can make money trading it from lows to highs. But eventually you'll "mine" all the gullible people that think there's any value to BTC and no one will want it anymore because there's inherently no value to it. It's untrustworthy. And ultimately something better will come along.
Basically there will be no demand for it regardless of the finite supply because it does nothing for you besides having a digital spreadsheet in a safe deposit box.
The only difference over time is: less bitcoin are being mined and more people and institutions buy bitcoin Or offer bitcoin exchanges.

9200+/- would be a .382 fibs re-tracement concerning this last rise and could go all the way down to "mean" 7275+/- and still not mean a whole lot
in the big picture just opportunity for those in or wanting to be in this market. I know if the price of a speculation/investment isn't closer to $10 instead
of $10,000 its way to rich for their blood to be in the game.

Hi guys,
I'd like to start a conversation on crypto-currency, particularly Bitcoin.
What do you all think about it from an investment point of view today? I have some buddies in the finance world who are quite bullish on it and claim we are just scratching the surface. Judging by the recent performance, they may be right.
For people who are investing in Bitcoin, what are you using to invest and what recommendations do you have for a new investor?
Also, how are gains taxed compared to typical stock market gains?
I read this week that over 100,000 merchants in the USA are accepting Bitcoin today.
At the same time, digital currency does scare me a bit as it seems so abstract. Curious what PatNet thinks.
Thanks guys!
