Socal weather is nice....every day :) I am sorry you dont have sunshine and Bitcoin.....

I do get that if you have shitty weather every day, you probably cant wait to get out of IL.....but then you would have to sell your 100 shares of LUV.

Along with the flow of shit and needles in the street gutters? Didn't know that scenery was nice? At 13% income tax I guess anyone can be fooled.

that scenery was nice.

Agreed! Absolutely beautiful here....We got the beach, mountains, desert! Its the best place in the US IMO.
and the weather.....beautiful daily!

Sorry you live in IL.....stay warm bro

G36 says

Sorry you live in IL

Pretty gay for you to be sorry for another man. One that isn't afraid of cold weather. One that doesn't live with mom and dad. One that makes more than you. You're jealous and it shows. You'll learn.

Mom coming back down soon to make sure you're doing your school work? We all know you need the reminder.

WookieMan says

G36 says

sorry for another man.

Yep, after seeing how crappy the weather is in IL (cold, rainy, snowy) - every day. I started to feel sorry for ya. Stay warm bro!
On the other hand, it made me appreciate where I live even more. People say it costs more here (sunshine tax). After seeing what crappy weather does to people (Sissy's BSDS) I am like....Dude, I would pay double to keep living in Socal :)

G36 says

Dude, I would pay double to keep living in Socal

Cool. I'll vacation, make my normal income and beat your crypto gains and income (if you even have a job). So I guess we agree that I'm ahead. We're getting somewhere.

Absolutely! Not many can afford to live here. Some will be stuck in IL forever....Sad for them but I dont want more traffic here ;)

G36 says

You've seen your state, right? I've been there. Might want to rethink what you're bragging about. CA is literally the outhouse of the country. Scenery cannot overcome the shit hole it has become. There's enough people here that love the place, but admit what it is. I guess you like shit.

Yeah, I mean, we like the beach. I love MTB in the mountains/hills. And I frequently go to the desert to shoot guns, ride the bikes etc.
We also love, love, love Yosemite and some of the other parks.
We explored the eastern sierras and there is always another great hike with beautiful views!

I can see me retiring here.....no reason for me to move. Especially, when I hear how shitty IL is... Sorry bud!

G36 says

we like the beach

lol, if that's what you want to call it... Like legit lol. You don't travel. You literally don't know what a beach is. CA is for surfing, not the beaches. All CA beaches/sand blow. They're awful.

G36 says

So do I. Don't have to lose 60% to enjoy it either and deal with communist government.

G36 says

Eastern Sierras. You make me laugh. Wake me up when you've been to real mountains, hikes, skiing, etc. There are substantially better views and hikes throughout the country. Prove me wrong though. Post a photo you've taken like I have.

Who pays for the electricity Argentinians use? Is it a store of value for them? What is the market cap of all that electricity the Argentinians buy use?

Get it yet?

Investing in Bitcoin makes you a 2-3x in 3 months. Investing in Argentina probably makes you lose money. I dont care if BTC and Argentina are in a competition of electricity use. I care about ROI.

Dang....Cardano at 87 cents....will we see $1 ADA soon????!!

Cardano 90 cents....up 31% today!

94 cents Cardano :) :) :) lets go!

Crypto market cap is now over 1.4T!

My cardano's are running....97 cents :) love it

Ethereum at all time high....probably going to 1.9K and then 2k?
remember when I told you guys ETH will be at 700 (that was in Dec). It more than tripled......sry to the crypto haters who keep missing out

You do understand your posts are on a website? A forum actually. 2-3 people actually care about the scam you're involved in. Most don't. You're spam. Your posts are spam. Your comments are spam. You'll learn.

Exactly. We are discussing Bitcoin's success and mass adoption.

Less than 5% of the population holds it. No one cares. It's not currency. It's not a store of value. You can't even answer a question. You just got scammed by Musk. He'll keep doing it too. I think it's funny for you. I feel bad for the people that will either sell or have dead money for years thinking they'd get rich. Just like the strippers buying multiple houses in 2005-6. That worked out well...

by Musk.

Good point. Tesla buying 1.5B USD worth of Bitcoin was another big step into mass adoption. It will most likely start a trend of many big players investing in Bitcoin and holding it long term instead of cash. Smart! And very good for Bitcoin holders!
Stay warm Bro

Back then, the creator of Dogecoins sold all his coins to buy used Civic. Now it's worth 9B. One can still make money but its possible to become back to almost zero.

G36 says

He traded to get your cash.... He's not holding.

Yep. he bought 1.5B USD in Bitcoin and is holding long term.
Its hyper bullish for Bitcoin and crypto

Is there a solution for this @Patrick ? Anyway to stop the editing of what is being quoted Because here's what is happening.....

G36 says

I humped a bull for Bitcoin and crypto

And G, not crawling to Patrick, just showing what you do. Mark it personal if you don't like it for all I care. I can play the game just haven't because I know I'm right. I'll go down this road though and win.

WookieMan says

I was thinking that a quote should just refer back to the original text being quoted instead of being a copy.

But then, people could still manually type in what they say is "a quote from you".

On the third hand, I could make it so that "N says" would always verify the quote with javascript.

It's kind of an arms race technically.

Maybe there's some obvious solution I'm not considering?

yeah, Investing in Bitcoin is probably the best thing one can do in life in order to generate generational wealth. Wookie is right on that.

Patrick says

Another flag option maybe? This guy is rampant with it. It crops up occasionally with some new people (he's been here a while), but I think most everyone that's been here a while respects the quote feature.

I don't know the tech/coding to stop it from happening. So I have no solution there. It's just giving trolls a way to troll though unfortunately. Like I said, it's fine 99.9% of the time. But there's always one that comes along. Not a huge flaw, just annoying when it rears its ugly head.

Another thought, remove the edit feature? The only time is if a comment gets flagged and you're allowed to fix or update the comment. That way if a manipulated quote is posted, it's set in stone. Because sometimes you call them out and they'll go back and edit it back to the original quote.

Again, not a major site issue as most everyone here is an adult and can have a conversation even if they disagree.

Patrick says

Call people out for their bullshit! We can ignore, and you, Patrick, can ban. IT IS WRONG to misquote. It should be a rule.

@G36 you should admit it was wrong and promise not to do it again.

You can't program a way to stop cheaters. I've tried.

G has occasionally has some good points on non crypto threads and he's fun to troll so I won't ignore him.

Patrick says

I have a better solution how about stay the fuck away from where your not welcome?... Did the fact this is another persons posting get lost in all the bull shit..
Change the fucking channel and stay away and letting someone troll the fuck out of someone else's post and collaborating with the real troll is in
fucking insane... I challenge you to show me 1 posting that isn't full on trolling or irrelevant. Good luck

WookieMan says

True. And many of us have "FIFY" somebody's quote. Fun is fun.

It's over the line when you quote someone, and edit what they say to mischaracterize them.

Some of us have spent a lot of time developing our characters.

Cash says

It's the internet dude. WTF are you talking about? You can leave too. People have asked you questions to explain the crypto infatuation and you and others are yet to come up with logical responses. Just a link to some fly by night website pumping what you're invested in. No intelligent response. Just "you don't get it" or "blockchain" type responses.

Onvacation says

Good point.

OK, it's now a rule and I'll add it to https://patrick.net/post/1277846/2015-02-09-about (the about link at the bottom of every page).

Rule is, if you misquote, and someone points it out, I'll delete your comment. And if you keep doing it, then every one of your comments has to go through moderation.

If you see a misquote, please flag it. It would also help to email me that it's a misquote so I know why it's flagged. Maybe I can come up with a better flagging system sometime this week. I have the week off.

Indredible ! I agree with @WookieMan....If you cant beat them join them. Thats why so many major firms join the crypto train!

Not looking for agreement. I like this site for discussion and some humorous, witty type stuff from users that seem like cool people. We haven't remotely come close to a discussion about bitcoin. I don't know when that day will come, but until then I'll just continue to play the silly game you like of avoiding the reality of what you "invest" in.

I've also been up $3k playing roulette in Vegas starting with $300. They fed me beer and I ended up at $400 to break even after tipping the servers and dealers. Had a blast with my buddies and didn't care.

You're in the 10 beer phase and I don't think you know it. I don't care if you take the advice. Just make sure you don't lose it all. It will happen quick when the bottom drops out.

Yep.

I cant imagine not having Bitcoin. But I cant imagine living in IL either. So many things to be thankful for.
Stay warm bro.
