Crypto wallets don't hold coins.
A lot of suckers go for the terminology: "coins", "mining", "currency", "digital gold", "wallet"
I wonder if you even understand how blockchain works?
your coins are stored on a hardware wallet

So we can tell how big a fool you are.
Why would I want to prove to someone what I bought, hold or sold? What would be a reason/benefit for me to do that?

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.
Libra is not on a blockchain

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.

I am not here to sell anything. Yes I do believe bitcoin will go up in value over time (a lot). And I am not trying to make others believe anything. I said multiple times I am not here to convince anybody.

But for belief, bitcoin is worthless. At least with silver and gold you get to hold a "barbarous relic".

The WWII cigarette analogy destroyed this "debate" around 19:00. Right?
This guy seriously just argued around 27:00 that you should trust a google search algorithm. lol! Right?
I'm not a gold bug, but Schiff destroys this guy. Right?
The debate is useless though without anyone disclosing their holdings. Both are pumping what they want to increase in price. Although I'd take gold before bitcoin...

One reason I like bitcoin, dipshit's will think it's anonymous and we can throw their asses in jail. Another reason the value will continue to drop long term. Illicit fucks won't trust it anymore.

Why double-posting? Trembling hands?
@liberal_in_blackface Totally agree! It was another great buying opportunity. It always is! Only people like Wookie_”man” sell when it retraces. And while those bitcoin haters/no coiners were hoping bitcoin will go to zero, smart people added to the position.
Remember, bitcoin died many times ;) in fact thousands of times....and look where we are now.

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.

I wouldn't rush (fomo) to buy BTC but at the same time not opposed I own a bit of JIC cryptos. The way I see it there is plenty of time to see how much if any of the halving has already been priced in. Top that off with the USD is so likely to make a tear higher and if I am proven right there will be plenty of discount pricing in BTC. Bitcoiners will find that the USD behind BTC/USD has real meaning.

That and/or you can cherry pick one guy that got lucky and point to that as an investment strategy. Schiff still has his money/value. Many other gold bugs do as well (side note I've never touched gold investments).
There are many people that have lost their assess bigly in crypto. How about showing their pictures? If you took the median crypto "investor" I'd guess 70% or so are on the negative side of the balance sheet with poorly timed trades. You're simply giving your money to billionaires, with very high risk trading/investing in crypto of any kind. Make your money, but as covid says, you seem to be pumping and have shown zero proof you have one US dollar (lol) invested in crypto.

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.

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!
