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.
Did I get it right?

Good. Finally getting to the bottom of this. You’re guessing.
Also, thought you didn’t use exchanges? Coinbase Pro? Wtf?
It will be another asset class besides gold is my guess.

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).

Newbie did by his own admission from 2017. Unfortunately all his posts are complete bs lies. And if he did invest he’s broke now. Trying to pump from the 30% dip from $20k (dollars lol). Lost his ass and disappeared for almost 2 years.

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.

Exactly. There is no proof you hold any of it and/or no evidence your cost basis is lower than the current price. For all we know you are one of these sorry fucks who bought at the last top and now desperately trying to pump that shit to get out and dump it on the next sucker.
Where are the fucking screenshots of your holding and transactions?

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

Newbie, no investor ever tells others how to make a fortune. Because if it was so simple, you'd do it yourself and be so filthy rich you wouldn't even post for yourself. But yet here you are, probably broke too, begging others to join your losses.
This isn't an idiot forum where people will just believe you just because you said something. Reminds me of this scammer we had locally who used similar tactic selling multi level marketing stuff.

Libra is an idea in development that will use a new programming language. The proposed data structure does not use blocks like bitcoin. The proposed facebook coin has little in common with bitcoin.
This is all academic as Libra is vaporware at this point.

51% attack. Explain why it can’t destroy bitcoin? Explain why a government, especially the US couldn’t drop a couple billion and out mine anyone else and essentially destroy the blockchain in the process? $30 billion is getting a snickers bar for the US government and it likely wouldn’t have to be approved by Congress if it’s for “national security.” What “miner” could compete with that capital?
Not one and you know it. Counter this fact with something intelligent.

It's a manipulated market by the few that hold the most. So they decide when the hockey stick starts and cash out when they've made bank. That is evident now.
At my age crypto was all the rage 2 years ago with my peers. I've not heard 1 person talk about it in person the last 6 months. The only conversation was with my one good buddy who is a financial moron that was selling all his mining equipment... at a loss.
It's gonna hockey stick any day now; to the moon!

Yes, historically, a golden cross has been extremely bullish for the price.
The increased media coverage is also due to the price trading above 10k and the halving coming up in May.

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!
