It's not true that he that dies with the most toys wins, it's he that plays with his toys the most while he is alive that is the winner. We can all win.

G36 says

bawahahahahaha

wow, those two triggers hit stronger than I would have expected. Now we just need the right name for it.....BSDS seems fitting.@WookieMan, what do you think?

Okay, so we agree on the diagnosis.
Next question is, how can we help him?

Sunshine derangment syndrom.....not much I can do here.


Bitcoin derangement syndrome:
I would have him trade his 100 shares of LUV into BTC. At least that gives him some exposure. Any other thoughts?

Agreed. I think my photos show that. Looking at a computer screen and trading spreadsheets sounds miserable. And bragging about it not being able to show you had fun or even made money is even worse. Layer on top spamming a mainly non-financial forum showing nothing of gains or fun from anything you're spamming.

I'm just glad I had a better 2020 and know it. It was so good I don't have to worry about the crypto fad 2.0. All during a pandemic. Life is good.

I'm here.




Just because my home base is in IL, doesn't mean I'm there (missed the T). You'll learn some day. I can have homes and vacation for 1/2 the cost to live in CA. Retire dozens of years earlier. Bitcoin though... lol.

Yeah, now that you shared a bit of your circumstances, I understand why you are tried of shoveling snow in IL.



At least you made me appreciate SoCal even more. We sometimes take the beautiful weather and beach for granted. Thanks bud.

Lol. You can call them beaches all you want. Some of the shittiest sand on the planet. lol.

The fun part about warm weather is I can go there whenever I want and not live in a communist state with income taxes through the roof. IL is bad, but it isn't touching CA for stupidity. I'm not stupid.

Post a photo of your last trip. Anything. You've got nothing and it's why you've posted nothing. Staying in the same place day after day is insanity and the definition of misery. Enjoy. I know you do, it's all you have to look forward to.

yeah, often you need to see someones misery to understand how good we have it here in SoCal. You see winter doesnt really mean much to us. You can still do your outdoorsy stuff pretty much every day. I would forget about shitty parts of the country if someone wouldnt remind me.

That BSDS is no joke. Glad I got Bitcoin and the sunshine/beach and dont have to deal with BSDS.

G36 says

BSDS

"The Bipolar Spectrum Diagnostic Scale (BSDS) is a descriptive story that captures subtle features of bipolar illness. It does not provide a "yes" or "no" answer to whether or not a patient has bipolar disorder - it addresses the concept of bipolar spectrum."

That explains a lot.

Success is not a destination you arrive at, it's an altitude you fly at. Money, cars, houses, boats, motorcycles, toys, happiness, are just symptoms of success.

Onvacation says

Success is not a destination you arrive at, it's an altitude you fly at. Money, cars, houses, boats, motorcycles, toys, happiness, are just symptoms of success

I'd say experiences are most important, but agree with the symptoms point you make. I don't want to sit in an over priced shack day after day, in the same place, hoping to get rich or successful all while paying for bloated government that allows shit and needles to fill the gutters in the streets. That sounds like misery to me. I like to explore, show my kids some really cool places and meet awesome people that don't shit in the streets or do hard drugs.

Though we have been subjected to that in CA on trips, so not all experiences are positive. We've got friends all over the country and in the Caribbean and Mexico that we've met on travels. Funny part is not one has ever brought up crypto. While I've done well, I'm personally more happy of my wealth of experiences and what I've shown my kids. Enjoy life, don't worry about numbers... they're holding you back and probably the reason many are where they're at in life, chasing. Someone smarter conned you, you just don't know it yet. Never have regrets. No single place on the planet is that great to piss your life away in or an investment.

Either way, bragging about the price of a spreadsheet and not being able to show the experience of that supposed awesomeness is pretty telling. I've always wished you guys luck as I'm a decent human. But I'll try to back off on these crypto threads as the "shit mutt" (WTF is that anyway). My worry is you'll bankrupt others, but who am I to try and stop you. I can rest my head on my pillow and know I at least tried and I didn't screw others over.

It fits perfectly. I can picture him shoveling snow in front of his apartment right now.

Couldn't resist. Correction made.

Don't forget the needles and the bloated government you're being fleeced for. I guess I'm not surprised you have to chase get rich quick schemes. 20% is taken off the top before you even start... lol. My returns beat yours before I've even invested a USD.

@WookieMan
Does the HOA not help with the snow shoveling? I can see why that is upsetting.

Bad day for the BSDS.....

Bitcoin at 37k, Ethereum at 1.6K and perfect weather in Socal.

IL:

G36 says

Why in the flying fuck would you rely on an HOA! LOL! Men can take care of their own property. Don't need a group of fags to decide what I do with my property. You keep bringing in great insight to the conversation about yourself. Lol.

WookieMan says

G36 says

Does the HOA not help with the snow shoveling?

no on HOA!

bummer. So i understand why you are getting so upset about the weather. Sry bud.

So we're clear, Bitcoin is an elaborate Ponzi scheme that requires new money in for old money to get out.

And you can't have gains until you sell.

Onvacation says

So we're clear, Bitcoin is

36k,

yep



great buying opportunity!! Ethereum will do great too....it was at 700 in December and has already doubled....its at 1.6k today! Dont miss out on the precious coins.

Ahh, the smell of Eth...

Onvacation says

Ahh, the smell of Eth...

I know. so sweet! Its going to do great things during this bull market....we are in price discovery mode. It jumped from 700 in Dec to 1600 today! I love my Ethereum holdings!

So G,

Tell us again how crypto is a great store of value?

not just a store but a multiplier too.

Ethereum: we are in price discovery mode. It jumped from 700 in Dec to 1600 today! I love my Ethereum holdings!

G36 says

Just like last time everyone lost their asses. lol. BTC first and then Ethereum and then a bunch of other made up spreadsheets. Burn out is coming. Good luck.

@WookieMan, have you sold your 100 shares of LUV yet to buy some Ethereum? That will most likely get you a downpayment in IL during this crypto bull run.

G36 says

have you sold your 100 shares of LUV yet to buy some Ethereum? That will most likely get you a downpayment in IL during this crypto bull run

Nope. Just made $30k in January during a pandemic. Booked trips to FL, CA, USVI and yes WI. Got another 4-6 trips to book and the year should be set.

Lol though, I don't need LUV. Maybe you do. Maybe find a new image as well. I'm not in IL right now.

@WookieMan,

how can we help you with BSDS if you wont let us?
I cant make the sun shine for you in IL but I can help you to make smart investment choices.
A first step would be to trade your portfolio of 100 shares of LUV into BTC or ETH. At this point, I would probably advise to ETH as I think it will outperform BTC during the parabolic bull run.

Remember, we are hear to help. Let us help you with BSDS.

G36 says

Lol, yes my portfolio. You don't get it. Not surprising.

G36 says

yes my portfolio..

yes....sad! But there is hope....convert into ETH and start making some money! It will be enough for a downpayment in IL!

G36 says

yes....sad! But there is hope....convert into ETH and start making some money! It will be enough for a downpayment in IL!

Or just keep living in the shit hole that CA is. You don't get it. That's why you'll lose.

@WookieMan,
how can we help you with BSDS?


We can lead a donkey to the water but we cant make it drink.

G36 says

Yup. Keep leading donkeys. Takes a ton of intelligence for that. lol. Might want to come up with a better analogy.

You're not dealing with a donkey. You are the donkey. Keep up.

Sorry, @WookieMan,

BSDS can lead to anger. Lets try to keep it civil. After all you are a moderator. Please read the rules and leave personal attacks out. We are here to discuss the success of Bitcoin. We dont want to get you banned.

@Patrick

Let's see, can I summarize and understand the conversation?

G36 Has made a bet on crypto and has great hope in that bet to improve his life. It may turn out well or not. He would like others to join him in his bet for maybe two reasons:
1. If they do, his own bet benefits through their bet. Maybe that's kind of a cynical interpretation.
2. If they do, he has more fellow believers in his bet, which provides a pleasant sense of community and confirmation.
To have his bet dismissed as foolish is painful.

WookieMan does not feel the need to make that bet as he does not feel that his life particularly needs improving. He dismisses G36's bet as foolish. G36 reacts to that by looking for possible ways to make WookieMan feel bad in turn, such as pointing out the harsh winters in the Midwest, or the possibility of missing an easy way to make a lot of money.

My own opinion:
- G36 might be right and actually get rich from crypto. Could happen, and it's hard to argue with wealth legally obtained if it does. I would not make that bet myself because I don't understand the value of crypto beyond hiding illicit proceeds from the law, and from taxmen, and being independent of the Fed. Certainly there is some value in those, but I don't know how to put a number on it.
- WookieMan seems to have a fine life, but gets baited into responding to G36's responses, and so it goes on.

Everyone else gets some entertaining conversation and gets to think about the issue from two points of view.

I hope I didn't offend either of you.

Patrick says

I hope I didn't offend either of you.

You can't offend me. Neither can G36. I'd rather see him wealthy than not. Seriously. I can come across as a dick, but I'd likely buy the guy a beer and give hime shit for the back and forth here.

Crypto is a scheme. His posts are spam. Maybe he doesn't know it. Maybe he does. I can't say for certain. Cash seems to trade and could have made money, but likely has to cover losses on bad bets depending on timing. Either way, take the last 2-3 digits off BTC and it's not all that impressive the last 3-4 years. No one here is holding $50 coins. $36.000 as a valuation just looks impressive. It's the 5'2" guy with a 5" cock that looks like a footlong at the right angle.

Ultimately it's not about me. It's about others that stumble upon this site and think crypto will get them rich (and other sites). The games has 90% been played out at this point. Your odds of winning are almost nothing. It's dangerous. Not bashing Trump, but this is no different than drinking bleach. Trade it if you have the skills, but it's a pure shit investment for 99% of people. This is fact.

@Patrick
I believe WookieMan is a fraud/fake. He seeks success in life but continues to fail. None of his comments made any sense, so how can one believe anything coming from WookieMan. At first i believed he is just a troll. But now I believe he has Bitcoin derangement syndrome. WookieMan commented for years on Bitcoin threads but hasnt managed to buy a single Bitcoin yet. The sad thing is, he is a moderator but cannot have a discussion without getting personal. 2021 will be a bad year for him since Bitcoin will continue to increase in value. I bought Bitcoins at 15K in November. One Bitcoin is over 35K now. All the other cryptos I am holding (ETH, ADA, DOT, LINK) increased by several X.

Here are some of his comments:

"It will make its way to $8k at some point, but I was wrong with year end"
"I like to play the bigger numbers" "I bought 100 shares of LUV"
"I dont trade. Its a losers game"
"I'd actually consider trading BTC"
"Fuck no on holding though"
"I dont care about the price of BTC"
"8k by year end"
"its going to land in the 1000-2500 range"
"no x axis"......DF is too dumb to open up the source thats listed on the chart. I guess he really is too fuckin dumb to get that the x axis is the timeline.
"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%? Not a surprise, DF.
"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%? Not a surprise, DF.

WookieMan has BSDS and we need to help him.

G36 says

The sad thing is, he is a moderator but cannot have a discussion without getting personal

Lol, man. I've had plenty of my own comments marked personal in the past. I'm not invincible even though it appears that way. Just stop changing accounts (not just usernames) and people might take you more seriously.

I'm also sure Patrick has logs. In 12 months I've maybe, maybe moderated 10-20 comments. That might be on the high end and including AF's nonsense. Rarely, if ever do I block a comment. That's under 10 times I'm pretty sure over 3-4 years or whatever it's been. Patrick and others bring the hammer down much more than I'm willing to. So yeah, pick your poison.

I let you shit on me constantly. Is that not proof enough? I could mark almost all your comments personal and wipe them from the site. I don't. So keep mentioning the moderator thing. Not sure what that's doing for ya.
