In my opinion, it’s a colossal pump-and-dump scheme, the likes of which the world has never seen. In a pump-and-dump game, promoters “pump” up the price of a security creating a speculative frenzy, then “dump” some of their holdings at artificially high prices. And some cryptocurrencies are pure frauds. Ernst & Young estimates that 10 percent of the money raised for initial coin offerings has been stolen.

The losers are ill-informed buyers caught up in the spiral of greed. The result is a massive transfer of wealth from ordinary families to internet promoters. And “massive” is a massive understatement — 1,500 different cryptocurrencies now register over $300 billion of “value.”

What do you think the purpose of bitcoin is?

It's considered a commodity by the SEC


The people that created bitcoin didn't give a FUCK what the SEC said about it.

The point of it was a cryptocurrency OUTSIDE of the authority of ANY government.

I know what it was supposed to be, and what it's become - embrace and extend. The dummies "investing" in this ponzi scheme don't ever spend it, they use it as purely an investment vehicle, when it's unusable as anything else. It's PURELY for investment now, and it depends entirely on speculation.

"The purpose of bitcoin is to provide a digital currency that allows people to make online secure, anonymous transactions"

Is that what you think is the MOST IMPORTANT purpose of bitcoin is? If so you can just wait for the CBDC.

Nah. She's a fucking walking billboard for Benjamin Moore paint. Sorry I don't need clown makeup paint on a woman. She's probably ugly as fuck at 6am..... after her paint is all over her pillow.

Dudes that fall for that shit are doomed for failure unless it's just to get laid. It's the definition of a con artists to a T. She's looking for a sugar daddy.

Well, department heads have fled Binance, but no mentions of how many regular employees have left. Maybe the rank and file are waiting for the criminal complaints to some forward.

Takes some guts (or stupidity) to have any assets at any Crypto Exchange.

I'm the one that first posted that. Look at comment 1998.

We will see if it get approval.

If your going to dick around with crypto... learn from all the other failures... Non-Custodial is where you need to go... Do not let someone hold it for you.
This whole CryptoSpace has gotten out of control, and the"Scum of the earth" want you to trust them to hold your assets. Screw that.
I've been burned by that...

Chalk it up to the school of hard knocks... you can intercourse Blackrock...
2030   Misc   2023 Jul 7, 10:48am  

If you ever want to redeem crypto, you are gonna need exchanges. Without them there is zero liquidity.

So there's gotta be suckers for there to be even a modicum of price discovery.

Self made with my help... no inheritance or anything like that at all. Blue collar, kind of loser parents if I'm being honest. But yes, I do have a sugar momma NOW. Wasn't that way in the early years. She thought she was getting the sugar daddy.

I have a knack for figuring things out. Specifically financial issues. Creative things, all legal. Like buying our house with cash even though we didn't have the cash or credit to get a loan. I don't think most people realize how many tools are at their disposal to create wealth and get things done. It freaks my wife out, but if I literally needed $1M tomorrow, I could have it wired to me. Network, network, network. The more people you know and stay in touch with, the more money you'll make. More job opportunities even in fields like tech.

Bitcoin is "old news".. all of those that thought would make $$$$ by Mining need to sell off their old technology to somoeone who doesn't know the technology is not efficient.
New Technology (believe it or not) is making the cost of mining better... but not a game changer.
when you have over 2000 cryptocurrencies, their are winners and losers... every day..
Miners will jump from one coin to another. the miner administrators can flip a mining machine with a laptop, and a batchfile... take their earnings and swap to something more stable.
I have 8 years in the space. I am not a know it all.
You have your due diligence to uphold... unlike someone who reads chapter one of a book, and think they're an expert.
Unless someone makes a miner that can run on water... forget about it. I no longer mine.. its all been sold on ebay.etc.etc. to someone who likes to tinker or has shit for brains... or free electricity.

Do you think it's an investment and not a speculative, wasteful, scam?

"fiat" is definitely fucked. It's worth what you can buy with it until it isn't.

I've written you at least 4 times in the last year specifically asking if you're alive with no response.

You only promote Bitcoin when it's up not down. This means you promote it to dump it.

When you next disappear, I won't care if you're dead and I will show no concern.

Bitcoin hysteria or mania

3% was discussed 4 years ago and if that happens the total market cap of bitcorn will be higher than the total market cap of gold. Four years ago it was BTC-1-Trillion, Gold-10-Trillion.

BTC should be back to about 1-Trillion right now.

We shall see if that happens in this run...
