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.”

his BS is a what I call a libtard move. Its pathetic


@G36 Please don't make personal comments like that. It just causes more personal comments, and everything goes to shit.
388   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 12:13pm  

Patrick, no problem!

I worry about their health though. If crypto assets reaching a certain price causes wookie to post his anger outbursts day and night, I wonder what will happen to him next year if BTC's rally continues? Well....on the other hand, who cares. lol

Yup.

G36 says
Wookie never adds anything useful to the Bitcoin conversations.

Knowing multiple people that have lost their asses means nothing to you. Does to me. You don't answer questions and go all personal. You post nonsense. Sorry, can't sit by idly knowing what I know. You'd be wise to take some of the advice from multiple posters here instead of dragging it into the ditch and posting nonsense. Almost no one here is buying BTC and if they do, they just do it. They don't talk about it all day every day, only when it goes up and change usernames. You're the only one doing that.
390   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 12:24pm  

"nonsense"....yep, thats right,....nonsense is all we got from you. And contradictions.

"I dont trade. Its a losers game"
"I'd actually consider trading BTC"
"Fuck no on holding though"
"8k by year end"
"its going to land in the 1000-2500 range"
"no x axis"......cant open up the source thats listed on the chart.
"Wait, wait, wait. I thought it was 9,000,000%. Is it 17,918.98% or 9,000,000%?"
"Basic index funds have outperformed BTC"
>>>>REALLY? missed the fact that its up by 9,000,000%?
"an unregulated market"
"roulette"
"Nuclear EMP goes off"
"Would have sold everything at 18k"
"I am good with 9%"
"Bitcoin is not backed by anything"
"artificial scarcity"
"I only care about 6 figure gains"
"wake up at 6am and your money is all gone"
>>>>REALLY? missed the fact that its up by 9,000,000%?

again, you are bitter. You cant stand that Bitcoin hit new all time highs. Thats all. And you post day and night about it ......in all those years you havent managed to accumulate a single Bitcoin. Its still over 22k as of today....sry, wookie :)

I don't care about the price. lol. You do. Clearly.

G36 says

Don't need a bitcoin. I have the equivalent of 50 for now. Likely will end up being 10,000. But who's counting? Hope you get the joke there ;)

G36 says
again, you are bitter.

Not bitter at all. I just address nonsense. I've specifically addressed you and said I hope you make money. You're still butt hurt from your previous username and want some sort of revenge. Have at it. I can do this all day and night. Unless one agrees with you, they're wrong. That's a sad approach.
394   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 2:04pm  

wrong for sooo long and now bitter and angry. You really should focus on something else. None of your comments will crash the price of Bitcoin :)
You have been dead wrong ("price will land in the 1k range") and cant handle that Bitcoin hit new all time highs.....its sad and funny at the same time. Sry wookie. Bitcoin is at 23k :)
395   WookieMan   2020 Dec 18, 2:22pm  

G36 says

This is where you're dense and cannot read. I don't want BTC to crash. It would hurt a lot of people, including you if you're being truthful. I have no vested interest in it and never will. Ever. Multiple users here have explained why it's bad and have told you it's fine to trade it, but holding is stupid. Look at the damn charts! Even Cash said he's sold or planning to sell and buy the dips. All you do is say BTC is going to $100k-$500k. Good prediction.

It's a trading vehicle. It's not a currency or investment. You're telling people otherwise. That's dangerous. I'd have a beer with you as I'm not a petty person, but I'm going to call a turd a turd when it's a god damn turd. You're clearly younger or an oldie that failed and is chasing get rich schemes. Either way, the stuff you post is toxic to other people that don't know what they're doing. Which is what you want. So I'll fight it. I've got nothing to lose.
396   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 2:25pm  

So Wookie,
your prediction has been sooooooo wrong.
We are looooong ways from 1k.
Trading between 22k and 23k today. Keep hoping for your crash :) Just dont get too angry about it if it doesnt happen. You missed out and thats okay!

All those years bitching about it......for nothing! Sad!

LOL
you cant afford a single Bitcoin. All you can do is bitch about Bitcoin.
399   WookieMan   2020 Dec 18, 2:36pm  

English is not your first language. I should have figured that out by now. Sorry for making fun of your reading skills. My apologies.




Lol. Nice file name too. Cleary I've won. lol.

Only if your a silk road heroin dealer or a Russian hooker collecting bribery money.

It's gambling plain and simple. You buy in the hope that someone someday will pay you more. It is NOT a store of value. All money going into bitcoin is consumed. To get your money out you must find someone to pay you.

No assets, no cash, no equipment; just an anonymous decentralized list of who currently has claim (nothing to hold) on some Satoshis.

Mine. Wallet. Coin. Gold. Currency. Investor.
402   WookieMan   2020 Dec 18, 2:39pm  

Context chief. Talking about BTC. Lol. Above your IQ.

Dont think I have ever seen someone (besides wookie) contradict himself so often.
The fact that he was so wrong on his Bitcoin calls (he predicted 1k Bitcoin, today its at over 22k) really messed with his head.
404   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 2:51pm  

I wonder if he even knows what he writes?

I mean, what does go through someone's head to write "I dont trade" and the very next post "Its fine to trade it".

My theory is that he invested so much time and energy into trying to bash Bitcoin over YEARS that it finally took a toll on him.

poor guy.
405   WookieMan   2020 Dec 18, 3:00pm  

I don't trade BTC, but one can. I don't hold BTC, but one can. What don't you understand? I gave an opinion, that holding BTC was stupid, yet one could make money trading it. What don't you understand??? Seriously? READ.... lol.

Fact is BTC has been dead money for 3 years unless you were trading in and out on the dips and peaks. You still can't acknowledge that or simply don't understand that. If you held from 3 years ago, you made a tiny gain with no dividends. Dead money. Given the stock market, it was a bad to outright awful investment from Dec. 2017. 3 years if you can't do math either. You didn't have BTC in 2015. You don't have any now. You're very defensive or something you don't own. But keep holding.... lol.
406   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 3:03pm  

I think the fact that Bitcoin hit new all time highs pushed him over the edge. Maybe, countless posts over years with the hope for Bitcoin to go to 1k does that to you.....when you see it hit new all time highs.....

Sad to watch how big of an impact it has on him.

poor guy.

You joined in September... lol... years? Butt hurt lurker. lol. Or name changer. Either way, coward and the impact has been rough on you. Come out of the shadows after your "investment" barely gets back in the green after being dead for 3 years. Hasn't sold any BTC, so has made $0. lol.

yeah, sure, a guy who posts since years trash about Bitcoin and wasnt able to accumulate a single Bitcoin, is magically a rich guy.
You would be the first rich guy that posts day and night trash on Bitcoin posts.....the rich guys actually buy Bitcoin and brag about it.

lol, poor guy

Holding a flash drive full of zeros and ones doesn't make you rich.

Living comfortably, enjoying your work, and having hobbies, makes you wealthy, not what the bottom line on a piece of paper says.

If you think you own gold but don't physically hold it all you got is a line on some spreadsheet.

Success is not a destination you arrive at. It's an altitude you fly at.
411   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 18, 4:31pm  



does look really good on my hardware wallet. I know you were hoping for it to go to zero.
I wouldnt expect less from a guy who collects silver coins....Sry oncavation.

Well put. He won't understand this though.

and the guy who predicted Bitcoin to go to 1k agrees.

OV, which app did you use to buy Bitcoin? You must be happy about the recent rally?
416   Onvacation   2020 Dec 18, 5:13pm  

Traded my eleven satoshis for two cents.

Or maybe it was just a dream that I doubled my money on digital gold the currency of the future.

I hope I don't regret it.

Yes, and politically incorrect! I love it.
419   Onvacation   2020 Dec 18, 6:11pm  

Real money. You could get a nice meal for this coin when it was minted


This coin has aesthetic, intrinsic, and historical value

Here's what a bitcoin looks like (in hexadecimal):

Very true. Hard to dispute.
421   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 19, 6:38am  

Historical value is nice. Aesthetics are nice too. My dog is nice too. very nice.
nice, nice.

Bitcoin is at 23k, fuck yeah!

Over 24k now.

A bunch of politicians are getting their money out of the country.
423   Onvacation   2020 Dec 19, 8:41am  

Remind me to talk about "store of value". I have a good example.
424   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 19, 8:44am  

I knew OV would be pissed about Bitcoin hitting 24k. Lol

Why would I be upset about the lotto hitting $250,000,000? My chances of winning are about the same whether I play or not?

So what do you do for fun?
426   Bitcoin   2020 Dec 19, 8:53am  

your words. "I cant believe someone pays 20k for Bitcoin"

told you.....wait until the price is over 100k :)

those (OV, wookie) that didnt invest in digital gold but bitched about it for years have only one thing left.....get upset and be bitter.
