So there's not going to be an intelligent discussion on this thread or the other thread? Cool.
You didn't even address the article that YOU posted that actually has NOTHING to do with bitcoin. A city is basically going to digitize plastic tokens and that's a good thing for bitcoin or crypto? The city of Dublin's "local currency" will always be what the value of the dollar is. Keep posting BS garbage though.
Who is Bitcoin's least favorite rapper?

So how much have you made?
How much do you dollar cost average into crypto and how often?
What percentage of your income goes into crypto?
Gold has been a store of wealth forever. Bitcoin is a fad that will peter out.
I was raised to believe that there is a massive amount of gold in Fort Knox that was backing the dollar. Currently Fort Knox claims 147.3 million ounces valued at 6.2 trillion.
The dollar is no longer backed by Fort Knox.
All the gold in Fort Knox is trivial compared to the paper (now digital) "money" that makes the world go round.
Gold is mined and refined at great expense of labor, capital, and energy. Bitcoin is "mined" at great expense of labor, capital, and energy.
With gold you end up with a shiny chunk of metal that can be used in trade or made into beautiful and useful items. With bitcoin, if you're not the miner making fiat, you end up with a sequence of 0s and 1s on a fancy flash drive that you HODL until that day when it makes its moonshot and you can trade it in for fiat to buy stuff with.
decentralized cryptocurrency like bitcoin.

Funny. They sell oil for dollars. Not gold or bitcoin. Next...
Lamborghini would just make more "lambos" if the demand was there. If they couldn't keep up, they'd hire more people or build another factory. You know, being productive. Gold can produce other products. What can bitcoin PRODUCE? You don't have an answer for this. It won't replace the dollar or the Costa Rican Colon (or any currency), so it's not a viable currency. It's nothing. It's a gimmick. Countries with failing currencies won't even adopt it. They just make their own (Venezuela).
At some point just ditch the shovel and figure out how you're going to get out of the hole.
I can see the Sheik’s already....they own ten lambos but soon they will brag about how many bitcoins they own along with their cars, wife’s etc. :D

@Patrick - Not sure if you're following this and the other bitcoin thread. I'm not advocating for a ban or anything, but at what point does this guy get labeled a bot?
The not answering questions and just posting random stuff that reeks of pump and dump forums is strong with this one. It almost seems like he/she has it automated, but checks in occasionally as an actual human instead of a scripted thing. Has zero input/comments on any other topic here. Seems weird.

Lol! You haven’t given any advice on anything. You’ve spammed two bitcoin threads where people were looking to have a conversation. Anyone can search out pump and dump articles. They don’t need to be posted here.
You also haven’t given any information on your positions, when you’ve bought, how much you hold, etc. Just childish YouTube videos and links to piss poor articles.
Between you and the panther, you guys are really trashing the place with pure bs. Although since you ONLY post on bitcoin you probably have no idea what I’m talking about.
I read today:
“They warn that bitcoin is used by criminals, but it's actually our best tool against them.
BUY bitcoin, BYE banks.”
I am kidding. I am not advising anyone to buy bitcoin. Buy stocks, gold, silver and tulips instead ;).

Yes newbie what is your strategy? You have claimed to buy the dips and dollar cost average; which is it?
Since you want to remain obscure can you at least tell us how many figures are in your crypto holdings? Tens of thousands? Hundred thousands? Millions? R U gonna be a bitcoin billionaire?
Today’s hearing. FED chairman Powell: “Bitcoin is a store of value. Like gold”

If that’s the case than why did Jerome Powell call bitcoin “store of value” and not “snake oil”?

Cryptocurrency is a virtual asset and a speculative gamble backed by the zeros and ones on your flash drive unlike gold which is also a speculative gamble but is backed by a dense shiny metal which is a real asset.
my strategy is dollar cost avg and buying the dips.

The ultimate goal of the gotcoiners/ coinlovers is for cryptos value to overtake gold (it's already more valuable than all the silver in the world) and then to supplant all the world's fiat currency. At that point the patient, disciplined, coiners will cash out and buy stuff.

Bitcoin is not the same. Real gold is hard to extract from the ground, there is physical limitations on the amount of it. And I wouldn't even invest into it, because why buy something that does nothing. Bitcoin is just artificial thing, some guy somewhere can flip a switch and create a billion more, it's like video game gold, putting real money into it is for suckers in my opinion.
Lots of upside for Bitcoin. Bitcoin is digital gold.

Not how it works. Mining is the process of creating more BTC and there is a limit for how much will be created.
I'm not a huge BTC believer for reasons stated above. Summary: BTC is clunky to exchange, w few extra values outside of being a decentralized crypto.
XRP hasn't done as well lately, but XRP is directly connected to a very valuable exchange infrastructure allowing it to provide a much more fundamental value.
Ultimately I think the world will use XRP as one piece of a new exchange system that compete w the petro-dollar. If you pay attention , you can find dozens of central banks and worldwide power players getting behind the potential of XRP.

I don't know how it works, it's too technical for me, or what are the software requirements to earn coins. But as a laymen I see anything on a computer that can be easily duplicated if needed without any hassle. Maybe there are restrictions now, but it's software and restrictions can be lifted as needed.
If they could print kitchen cabinets, they would, but they don't have physical assets or logistics. There is cost it's not a repeatable process.
Bitcoins or whatever video game currency, it's just a piece of software that can be modified as needed if they need another billion. It's backed by nothing.
That's just how I see it. I know it's not very technical, but I am 100% guaranteed to stay out of any virtual gambling. I know a gal who made 20k actually, she bought some coins when they were a couple of dollars long ago, and sold when there was that bubble, bought herself a new car. But I know a bunch of people who lost money (so that our gal can buy a new car).

I wouldn’t give the pump and dump troll food. I finally scanned through his comment history. He lost his ass in Dec. 2017 “to the moon” fakery. If he’s telling the truth that he actually has btc, he was buying at $15-$16k based on his own comments here.
Then disappeared from here for almost 2 years and is probably still holding the bag hoping to break even on a bad bet and $$$$ sitting idle at a loss not generating income for almost 2 years because he thought it was coming back. All while he missed out on a solid stock market, where there’s legally required disclosures so you know what you’re actually investing in.
But hey, btc is decentralized. You have no idea who holds it and how much. And the super secure blockchain that can be manipulated by a miner crashing the “value” and trust in a “currency” no one actually uses as a currency.
It’s stunning how naive some are. You’d likely do better buying $10k worth of lotto tickets than speculating in btc. Actually, I’d bet there are faaaarrrr more lotto millionaire versus btc. You at least know your odds and the government won’t attempt to ban it in our lifetimes.

Hugo, That’s easy to determine. You just compare your cost base to your portfolio value based on current price minus expected taxes

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!
