Which "bull" run? Most of the bitcoin idiots are still underwater since buying the previous "bull run". 🤣
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.

Holy shit! A website trading spreadsheets had more traffic? WFT!!!!! What have I been missing. In the news today JC Penny saw 60% more website traffic and 80% less sales. Holy fuck!.
A 100k per bitcoin seems very reasonable within this bull cycle.
Lol to the max! Or moon!! lol.

Btw, the exchange Binance (one of the major exchanges) just reported that system traffic far exceeds 2017 (last bubble).

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.

They're not shares. You can buy fractions of a bitcoin, so there's no barrier to entry at all with regards to the dollar(lol) amount an individual bitcon trades at. People can trade it all they want and make a lot of money, but this isn't gold like. I don't know how far in the future, but it will eventually be worthless. I don't believe I've personally said it would go to $0, but at some point it will get back down into the 100's for sure. Basically worthless from where it sits today and you'd be losing a fuck ton of money if you were heavily invested in it.

No.....the US hasnt and wont do anything that stifles Crypto innovation. Instead a Bitcoin ETF will be approved at some point. Media is always good for crypto FUD but just look at the past years and the progress......
Grayscale, Tesla, Microstrategies, even insurance companies and a crypto bank!

@Bitcoin, I seriously think you're dead at this point. You first made fun of people who had suspicions of the vaccine, you had adverse reactions to the vaccine, you took advice from Rin, you STILL took another dose, and I've not seen you since.
Are you still alive?

So the SEC gave a warning that there is a significant risk of loss on Crypto.

I think it would be funnier than shit if Coinbase gave a warning that there is a significant risk of loss by investing in Bank stocks.

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!
