Maybe, countless posts over years with the hope for Bitcoin to go to 1k does that to you

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.

G36 says

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

poor RICH guy.

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.

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.

says the guy who collects silver coins.
and the guy who predicted Bitcoin to go to 1k agrees.

haha. shocker!

G36 says

says the guy

Are you assuming my gender?

OV, which app did you use to buy Bitcoin? You must be happy about the recent rally?

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.

Beautiful and historic.

Yes, and politically incorrect! I love it.

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.

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

Bitcoin is at 23k, fuck yeah!

G36 says

Bitcoin is at 23k, fuck yeah!

Over 24k now.

A bunch of politicians are getting their money out of the country.

Remind me to talk about "store of value". I have a good example.

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

G36 says

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?

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.

G36 says

upset and be bitter.

So do you have any hobbies or just crypto?

Some say your a bot. Just looking for a human.

"Some" yeah, Wookie, because I keep calling him out on his BS and he doesnt know what to do about it other than hoping I get banned. A sign of defeat.

wookie tells us he only cares about six figure gains.....then he tells us he bought 100 shares of LUV. How adorable. If the expects 6 figure gains from that he may wait a few decades. Cute!

hobbies....sure.....enjoy the outsides. MTB and taking the dog on long hikes for instance. Lately, I have also enjoyed seeing you (OV/wookie) get so upset over Bitcoin hitting new all time highs. pretty entertaining!

lol

I also collect copper coins.


That's my 2 cents.

I like looking at nice pictures. The good thing.... digital gold (bitcoin) is - you guessed it - digital! But that doesnt mean you cant look at a nice BitCOIN picture.

Many children today have never lived in a world where silver and gold were backing our dollar. They have lived so long in a fiat money system that they think bits on a flashdrive are MORE valuable than gold.

they dont just think that....they KNOW that.

I like Ike. But most were clad tokens. They did make some collectors versions in coin silver.

I disagree with it being labeled as a scam. It is a legit store of value with limited availability. The problems richwicks pointed out are real and will likely restrict it to stay a smaller part of the money mix. That being said the high energy costs come with many strengths as well. So it should swing mildly around its true value which should be somewhat fixed, but the speculation around it is insane. It's here to stay but it won't be trading at 100k or zero IMO. More funds and more merchants entering it will boost it as it already has, at some point it will become a more boring slower moving and more predictable asset unless a whale makes a transaction. I'm invested in it via a HF which started buying a while ago during the rout as part of adding crypto as a new asset class to its portfolio. Pretty happy with it thus far but no need to buy any myself.

I forgot, + going to the beach. Now that I think about it, I like sleeping too!

My first complete series was Franklin halves.

I agree with a lot here. There will be diminishing returns in each cycle and the cycles might lengthen. Its a new asset class and moving away from being a pure speculative asset at the beginning to a store of value/digital gold. You can talk about regression bands and potential price targets all day long, nobody knows for sure. Its exciting! And its kinda fun to see so many haters get so upset about the price gains. 2021 should be even more fun.

All incoming money is consumed by the miners. How can you call it a store of value when the only way to get your money out is for someone else to put more money in?

I AM expecting a cogent answer, but I can't see any way to make money with bitcoin other than selling it to someone someday for more than you paid for it.

There is just no there there unless you're laundering money.

OV, thats true for any market.....you cant get your money for your silver coins if nobody wants to pay for them or is interested in them.....

now that there is more interest in digital gold, there is less interest in physical gold.

Things can change/evolve.

Some still use a landline. Some still collect physical CD or books. Even though its all digitalized. Some even collect silver coins.

the savvy, rich and smart money invest in Bitcoin (digital gold).

G36 says

"Some" yeah, Wookie, because I keep calling him out on his BS and he doesnt know what to do about it other than hoping I get banned. A sign of defeat.

When have I been wrong? Saying it's worthless isn't wrong if it is eventually worthless. You understand that right? Saying I have 100 shares of LUV isn't wrong, when I do. When did I ever say I'd make six figures on LUV? lol, I didn't. You're the only one that's been wrong on your assumptions. It's why you'll fail with BTC at the end of the day even though I've personally wished you luck with it and all you do is ad hom.

I invest in things I can see, touch, experience and know the financials. That's sound investing and it has done me well. Very well. That's not wrong. Let me know when you stop working. A $20k gain is an absolute nothing burger for people like me and other here. Especially since you haven't sold, so it's not a realized gain.

I'll ask this question again, since you seem in the answering mode today. Where did you last travel?

Explain what is wrong about this? It's not the end of the year and I said "wouldn't be shocked." You've got to read dude. That's not a prediction. lol. I actually said that. Reading. Funny. Not wrong. Try again.

The amount of effort depends on ever changing energy costs but if the opposite were true it could easily be duplicated which would make it less worth like fiat. It's value is in its ability to store and transact it outside of the influence of the current fiat market dominators, banks and the governments. If you think that way then yes for you only gold or silver should have value and even that fluctuates based on supply and demand. Why bother with fiat It's just worthless paper or digitals backed by a promise ;)

To buy food.

Blockchain has to be open source. Anyone can create a new crypto. Why is one crypto worth something and another is not?

Bitcoin is a speculative investment. It depends on the greater fool to keep it going. Most of the money coming into the system is consumed by the massive amounts of energy (to mine each bitcoin it takes 2 1/2 times the monthly energy used by the average home). The system doesn't own the equipment, individual miners do. Bitcoin has no assets. It is only worth what the next greatest fool will pay for it.

I imagine the HODL'ers will start a fee system to keep it going after nobody wants to buy.
