"If you HODL now, your coins will reach the moon!"

I'd agree. This has been the strategy. Buy and hold. I bought 1.9 BTC last year and more than doubled my money. With Altcoins I am sitting on 10x.
During this massive bull market, buy the dips and wait.....>>> HODL.

Eric Holder says

It's a buying opportunity!

This guy gets it!

Bitcoin such a great store of value, a single Musk Tweet of a Linkin Park Buttcoin Meme causes this:

Could not agree more. I put about 30k into BTC last year and it more than doubled. Imagine I would have my funds sitting in a savings account. I would have lost purchasing power due to inflation.

1 year
Low:$8,975.53
High:$64,863.10

What an insane performance!! I remember when people said "who pays 20k for 1 Bitcoin"? Now those people would be jumping up and down if they could buy BTC at 20K
It just shows....HODL is the way to go with digital gold.

BITCOIN CONFERENCE

These guys look and behave like slime in that short clip. Is this not obvious? They look like tools out to CON you.

I don't care where the price goes, it ultimately has no value. I'm done predicting when it goes back to say $500 long term (likely less), but that's where it's going.

Buy the dip! Great buying opportunity!

ELIZABETH WARREN THINKS BITCOIN IS A SCAM!

At a recent Senate Banking Committee hearing, Senator Elizabeth Warren (Dem., Massachusetts) said that "cryptocurrencies have created opportunities to scam investors, assist criminals, and worsen the climate crisis."

She further added that "the threats posed by crypto" cannot stay ignored by the government and suggested that more regulations be put in place.

True! Bitcoin is a great store of value and secure way to store value in a way that cant be taken from anyone. (hardware wallet).

Bitcoin says

great store of value

It only fluctuates like the flab on a new Victoria's Secret model.

Onvacation says

Bitcoin rises to reclaim the $40,000 level as the cryptocurrency tries to recover from brutal selloff

Nope! Dipped below 30K instead.

beautiful buying opportunity! maybe the last great buying opportunity before we hit 100k!

BUY THE DIP!

Good meme. Friends and family should be bigger though bottom left. That's who they sell it to. This is possibly the biggest MLM scheme in history, probably is. Except no one even knows it who dabbles in crypto. They just sell you it and cannot even explain what it is.

I've basically gotten to the point where I tell friends mostly to just shut the fuck up about it. I don't want to hear it. Mostly politely. My one buddy got out in '17-'18 after getting burned and admits it's a scam after buying BTC and starting up a mining rig.

Until people realize everything done is to extract money from you, you'll never understand. It's why I love travel. If you take my money, I at least had some fun and have memories with friends and family. BTC and crypto checks none of those boxes unless you realize gains. It's stressful because of the swings. And there's no assets or anything of value besides trust that someone will pay more. The $ still is backed by assets, resources, military, etc. So don't go there.

I don't want to go down the rabbit hole on these threads again, but it's a complete con job. Anything talking crypto should be banned here in my opinion. Not my site and I can always start my own site. I just think it's toxic and these waves of swings up and down destroy people's lives and the gains are most likely gotten by uber wealthy people.

Back up the truck!

The first amendment has been attacked enough lately.

This thread is simply here to explain what bitcoin is. If someone wants to droll on about how it's the currency of the future and digital gold let them. We can politely set them straight. If they seem to troll or actually become abusive we can ignore them.

With or without the button.

Bitcoin should have a big comeback around the time of the midterm elections when a lot of extralegal money needs to be transferred around. I never have been a gambler market timer so I will skip the game called cryptocurrency.

Because bitcoin has no value other than what a holder is willing to pay. If it was all its cracked up to be it should have done the opposite. It also has been going down with inflation so its not a hedge there.

Bob Give me 22500-19500 for a 300%-400% wash rinse repeat... 80K-100K

All this talk of default has me wondering.

How do you get your money out of bitcoin if the internet goes down?

You don't.

A lot would have to go down, but you don't get any money out. If there's a US outage of internet and cell coverage, good luck getting anything for bitcoin. Water, food and guns will be the biggest asset if anything hits that level. Barter from there with what you've got in other resources. Water, food and ammo would be the big 3 you could trade. Not a soul will be caring about crypto.

If the internet were to go out nationwide, that means the entire electrical grid is probably fucked. Your video game tokens are worthless. This is 1,000% true. I don't care about hardware wallets either. Without verification they're worthless.

Anyone in Louisiana right now that rode out the storm. What do they need? Certainly not bitcoin or crypto. They need food, water, sewer, gas, potentially guns and ammo if things devolve. Fortunately the updated pump and levee systems seems to have worked so I don't think the situation should degrade too much. Not one individual is thinking about crypto though in NOLA.

WookieMan says

Vaxinatin; at least that's what I heard.

Ammo
Food
Water (esp. Water Purifications, get a couple of spare Berkey filters to trade in addition to keep in reserve)
Batteries
Booze (boring without reliable/cheap electric)
Condoms (boring without reliable/cheap electric)
Beer making equipment (soaking grains)

Don't forget alcohol and tobacco!

So you think there will be a different internet for stocks and fiat? I don't really see any difference except you might get some paper
USD until any minor bank run shuts all that down too....
