Bitcoin was literally like 3k-5k 2 years ago or something and still 30k. Let us wait till gets to that point again Just a classic Fox and the Grapes scenario. CEfolks spent 95% of their lives browsing the internet but were too caught up in CEgals and selfie topics to ever buy BTC when it was less than pennies. Easier to hate on it. Tag me when BTC hits 3k.

Lmao You can make bank on a speculative bubble. But that doesn't make it anything else than a speculative bubble. All the fancy buzzwords and propaganda bullshit won't change the fact that Crypto is literally worthless both as a currency and as a long-term investment. There's a lot of smug "HODL" people on Terra Luna's Reddit who stopped posting approximately 24 hours ago. Some of the accounts are deleted.

Sad_Face 05/11/22 8:49:52 PM #113:	whitelytning posted... He is just trolling. He does it in every crypto topic. Just a hater trolling. I thought about it, it's not trolling. I think this is how DarkRoast operates. When OP believes something, she vehemently believes it and everyone on the other side is the scum of the earth. There's no such thing as middleground She's a democrat and according to her, Republicans are the scum of the earth, not even acknowledgement that like "Republican values has some merit, but the party can't be trusted and ultimately isn't best fit for society", no just they're the scum of the earth. Crypto? Bloody stupid and the scum of the Earth. I can bet $5 when she was a republican, she thought liberals were a buncha lazy, freeloading scum of the Earth, not even acknowledgement along the lines of "liberals have their hearts in the right place but their ideas are not best fit for society". I can give other examples but the point is with OP is there's no middleground, no trying to sympathize or relate to the other side. They're just wrong. Dead. Wrong. But to everyone else who reads this. We have the SWIFT bank messaging platform researching blockchain tech, big name institutions like JP Morgan also researching blockchain tech, IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, all contributing to blockchain development, governments are in the process of developing CBDCs, Central Bank Digital Currencies, and we have numerous academics poached from universities all around the world to work and contribute to the field.

DarkRoast 05/11/22 8:53:37 PM #115:	Those are companies, not magic Monopoly Money. They make products. Make profits. There's a baseline intrinsic value to them that gives the stock a reason to exist and be bought. Cryptocurrency makes literally nothing. There's literally no reason to buy it other than other people are buying it. That's it. Nothing else. And eventually the people who get in late are obliterated by the whales who leave. You know what else has that kind of value? A pyramid scheme. You're buying nothing on the sole understanding that other people will buy that nothing and raise the price of that nothing higher. At some point enough people stop making money on that nothing and the price stops going up, then the whales get out and it falls apart. Hence Terra Luna. Crypto fans are right that they can make a crapload of money. But they're delusional if they think Crypto is anything other than a prolonged speculative bubble. --- Lenovo Legion 7 - Ryzen 5900HX, RTX 3080 16 GB (165W), 32 GB DDR4-3200 By Grabthar's hammer...............

And literally everything they said, no matter how clear it was that they knew nothing about the subject, was said with absolute certainty.

However, the GME guys were infact right and this has been recognized by Jon Stewart and now even Janet Yellen. About MOASS? no. But they did infact discover hedges gaming the system and widespread corruption that Yellen admitted is effecting the economy at this very moment.

ViewtifulJoe 05/11/22 10:22:11 PM #139:	TigerTarTheo posted... What do you suggest should be done Viewtiful? A crackdown on people trying to reel innocents in would be nice. Some action taken after a scam is identified. You hear about these people who are so far in they fall straight into denial after being scammed and even if they don't it's not like the cult around them are going to break character to sympathise. We had a topic a little while ago where a guy was getting people to open up about depression, pushing NFTs on them and then acting about as insincere as possible when pressed on it and asked about scams the nature of what he was doing. It was grimy and a perfect showing of the crypto personality in action, there should have been some rules against that sort of thing. I really don't like seeing these people trying their pyramid scheme shit and going unopposed. A worse public image or more education on the topic could help. A lot of people are quick to start laughing upon mention of this stuff which is a start but you've still got your people who hear they can make money and leap head first in. Gambling should be taken more seriously on the whole, we've already got this shit and those F2P games ridden with lootboxes and limited time microtransactions taking advantage of these kinds of personalities. Even more so because this is less waste money to spin the wheel more go into uncharted waters and haplessly attempt to compete with professional con artists. I hear tech illiterates are on the rise again with how everything's been simplified down to a touch screen so that's most likely some cause for alarm. There's probably no point saying 'Oh just ban it all, release the scammers who've flocked to it en masse back into the wild to prey on innocents again' because I do think we're stuck with it unfortunately but a lot more could be done to sternly warn people about the real nature of what they're getting into. --- Still waiting on that third threat <cite>ViewtifulJoe posted [p:964969036] in The crypto...

Yea sure sweet summer child, sure. There isn't. Stocks can drop to 0 just as easily as bitcoin. Something like a rare video game is a much safer investment. For example, pokemon black 2 will never drop to 0. It will always have intrinsic value. Of course it is harder to liquidate but there you go. <cite>WingsOfGood posted [p:964969096] in The crypto...

Anteaterking 05/12/22 12:23:42 AM #143:	VigorouslySwish posted... exact same can be said about the stock market or literally any market I mean first of all, I think that there's a lot of arbitrage that I would consider to be "ethical" in regular markets, so I'm not even inherently disagreeing with you on that point. I also don't really have sympathy for people who think day trading stocks is there ticket to upward mobility who fail either. As others have pointed out though, the lack of traditional protections in crypto space is directly related to why it's so alluring to some people as an "investment" vehicle, and I think it's hard to disentangle those two things. In general though I don't really feel like that's an accurate representation of all "markets" depending on how broad you're intending on being with that phrasing. Like when I buy something from the store, the level 0 idea is that I get more value out of the item than I paid for it and the person who sold it to me is selling it for more than the resources they put into it, so we both benefit. The transaction is adding value. Obviously this is a simplistic view of it and there are middlemen in between but in a very zoomed out picture on one end you have someone who values the product and someone who values what they can get for the product. 95% of the people losing money on crypto don't value it as a product and know they are selling to people who also don't value it as a product in which case you're just betting against each other to see who is stuck with it at the end. Which is why I'm saying that's less sympathetic to me. --- http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b136/Anteaterking/scan00021.jpg <cite>Anteaterking posted [p:964971195] in The crypto...
