Most people don't actually buy gold but a gold ETF called GLD, which is essentially ownership of gold without having to store it and secure it yourself. However this year, the IBIT ETF which represents ownership of Bitcoin without having to store and secure it, has seen more money flow into it than the GLD etf has. AKA Wall Street is starting to invest more in BTC than in gold if you're measuring strictly by purchases of these two ETFs for January 2025 and forward.

Was just gonna say this. Coin is good, community is not. Anyone I meet that's new to the space or wants to get in gets the xrp warning from me. And not about the coin, but about the hype machine community. The one thing I always say to any of them is if I wanted to make an unethical YouTube channel that would spawn money, it would be about xrp. It's honestly sort of bizarre if you ask me. I can almost guarantee Ripple's tech will be used in the future. The coin itself could definitely have some legs. But the majority of the community behind it screams scam to anyone who doesn't have wool readily available to pull over their eyes. And to anyone who has "fell" for it, don't feel bad. It's almost a rite of passage in the space. As long as you learn the lesson that a coin's prospects and value lie almost entirely separate from the community that follows it. AKA never get married to a coin. Buy and sell when it's right. And if you made a profit, well that's more than the vast majority can say in this space.

I’m not claiming to have the final answers. I’m not even claiming it’s useless. I think it’s one data point. My point is that you might consider questioning the statistics you rely on. Think about how you would calculate price inflation across various items across an entire country. Isn’t it plausible that the prices in markets across a country move faster than the government could collect that data? As an alternative, some people recommend conducting your own price inflation report, for example what was the price of steak for you 10 years ago vs today. You can make a list of the expensive items you buy often, and do the same to get an idea. Second, think about what incentives the government might have to convince you that your money is not being debased? AKA that they are stealing value from your savings. That alone reduces my trust in the statistic. Third, the history of money has several examples of when governments chose debasement to fund themselves instead of raising taxes, or cutting spending. Even on a gold standard, roman emperors were known to trim gold coins. If you’re curious of an alternative view of modern economics, you might consider reading / listening to the book titled “the bitcoin standard”

Honest question - how does one determine what their risk tolerance is? I've lost a shit ton of money in forex and in stocks. Then I had some success in crypto as I would say my risk tolerance got naturally expanded through my early losses. AKA I didn't learn shit and just continued to tolerate 90% drawdowns in crypto lol. But at least I got better stop loss discipline with stock trades now, not letting anything go past 15%. So what's my risk tolerance?

Lightning network allows you to perform a trust-less transaction in seconds, a bigger block size doesn’t. A bigger block size means increased requirements for nodes (bigger block size =higher storage requirements). Generally we want it to be very cheap and easy to run a node, a bigger block size runs contrary to this. Say we increase the block size by 5x which increases transactions by 5x, what do we do when transaction volume increases again? Do we just continue increasing the block size every few years as transaction volume increases? Continuously hard forking bitcoin will erode the value proposition of bitcoin. What is needed is a scalable approach that is somewhat future proof (AKA the lightning network).

You're a fool to invest in a company that relies on the narrative "Price go up". I'll stick with my fucking utility rather than banking on "Number go up." Soon people will realize that the first coin in existence is far from the most efficient and honestly with today's market, BTC drives like a fckn 1990 civic and XRP drives like a Bugatti. It's no Irony that everyone owns the civic. But when they realize you can buy a Bugatti for 1/1000th the cost of a civic. People will get in line for its speed and efficiency, because after all that's what crypto is designed to be. Why the fuck would we move forward with technology that is archaic. AKA BTC. Energy consuming proof of work bullshit that takes forever to send and receive. It's a fucking store of value, congrats you can store your value in any cryptocurrency and probably get better upwards volatility. Dickride Saylor all you want but the reality is even he knows he's invested in inferior technology with the hopes that "Price go up". Enjoy the realization that technology moves forward, not backwards and the people who are protecting BTC are heavily invested in it and the narrative will drive the price up. ZERO FUCKING UTILITY NEED I SAY THAT AGAIN?

You aren't making a case here, you're just making an assertion/prediction. I'll ask you a few questions. 1) If people are fleeing equities, where do you expect that money will go? Companies will take a hit with tariffs, so it makes sense that they are falling. So what's the alternative for investors? Bonds, real estate, gold, Bitcoin, etc. 2) Do you think Bitcoin is rightly labelled a risk on asset? Why or why not? How about gold? 3) If tariffs are inflationary, and job losses can be expected, what do you think the Fed is going to do? Cutting rates and printing money is my answer. What's yours? A little advice: this sub absolutely sucks and it's rare that anyone posts anything interesting or informative. This post is just more of the same bullshit, ie claims without anything to back up their reasons. AKA totally useless. Maybe if you answer some of my questions a decent conversation could start here and we could figure out your position. As of now it's just a prediction, with the cherry on top being you calling everyone stupid. Not useful IMO.

AKA a perfect time to buy. Responsibly. Not the "catching falling daggers" approach that people meme about. I'd say, though, that the smart play is to heavily invest in one's 401K before touching crypto. My colleagues pull back on their 401K and IRA investments every time the market is primed to take a shit. That's *the best time* to buy. It's why rich people do it. Some of the most money I've made was during the Great Recession because I basically DCA financial vehicles since I had so much time until I had to start converting to bonds and other stable investments to prepare for retirement. I still have tons of time. It's scary and rough, but I'll be basically DCA all the way down and back up again. The trick is to not obsess, and don't try to act like a professional trader. We'll never beat them just like most of us won't ever make money off meme coins since we aren't insiders like they are. More people here would be a lot happier if they just applied normal levels of rationality to crypto like they *should* with any other investment. Buy smaller amounts over time, hold them for as long as possible, and only buy things which appear to be stable in the long run (ie., stay away from all the shit projects that everyone knows is shit just by the name alone let alone its age).

leverage on a platform with margin calls... like i will never understand that. I understand fiat leverage without them; fixed term loans etc. those make perfect sense and are dip-proof. and when they have terms over 10 years, its basically free money because inflation will cover interest and more. and when you can take out new debt to cover old, you can also avoid taxes. Its great and makes you wonder how much longer fiat debt will exist. But why would you take out debt in a casino where the house can clear out a winning bet and make it a loser because of a temporary dip, AKA a "margin call"? Because its convenient? Because you dont mind risk? From the POV of someone who chooses bitcoin precisely to avoid the risks of fiat, I really dont understand margin debt. If you want to donate to the rich, you can just send money to billionaires directly.

This thought is so cliche 🙄 He just could have said “corruption + propaganda exists” and made his point. It’s completely retarded because politics and news serve many purposes… sometimes it’s propaganda, and sometimes it’s corruption. Especially with dinosaur firms like MSNBC, news corp etc… who are basically circling the drain at this point. Once the boomers move on, most if these old school media firms will be dead. New waves of politicians will move in too and it _should_ be a tiny bit better than it is now - every generation makes a slight improvement over the last… most of the time. I say ‘should’ and ‘most of the time’, because things tend to gradually just improve super slowly. But who knows, things could just completely go belly up too. Literally anything could happen. To say that they exist solely for this purpose is ludicrous. The level of coordination and cooperation amongst all national governments and institution for this to happen is just to complicated. Countries squabble over petty shit every day, countries also go to fucking war every day. There’s no ‘orchestration’ it’s just different factions fighting and competing with each other for power. Barely any different than tribes of monkeys having turf wars. That’s exactly what we are - _monkeys_ … we just happen to have lots of flashy tools and gadgets because our brains are More evolved, so it appears to be way more extravagant than it actually is… it’s just same old evolved monkeys acting like evolved monkeys (AKA humans). For the most part they’re just function the way their titles suggest - ‘news’ and ‘politics’. We need information, and we also need systems run by politicians for a functioning society lol. Yes there are corrupt politicians, yes there are corrupt news outlets… this tweet isn’t insightful or profound in anyway, nor is it anything most of us haven’t thought of while washing our buttholes in the shower. Any adult with half a brain has probably had the thought. It just happens that this nitwit decided it was necessary to broadcast his ‘epiphany’ the world… isn’t twitter just great 😐… everyone gets to broadcast their lame thoughts onto the internet (just the same as I’m doing now). Of course there are people who try to monopolise industries, information, institutions and whatever else they can get their greedy hands on. People seek power and it’s human nature. Aside from how retarded this tweet is is, the part which annoys me the most is the grammar. Why tf did he have to write that big block of text in one sentence??? It hurts my eyes just to read it... It hurts my brain to know how many people this tweet seemed to have a positive impact on. Jesus Christ twitter is stupid.

All this concern because people read some tweet and didn't actually do primary research on the actual TOS... For reference, a link to the actual TOS https://metamask.io/terms-of-use >ConsenSys Software Inc. (“ConsenSys,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is the leading blockchain software development company. With a focus on utilizing decentralized technologies, such as Ethereum, our software is powering a revolution in commerce and finance and helping to optimize business processes. ConsenSys hosts a top level domain website, www.consensys.net, that serves information regarding ConsenSys and our products and services (collectively, the “Offerings”)... The TOS apply to *all* of the "Offerings", Metamask (the wallet) is only one of them. >... All fees payable by you are exclusive taxes [sic] unless otherwise noted. We reserve the right to withhold taxes where required. Where required. AKA applying and withholding sales taxes. Applying a bit of critical reasoning, there is no way to "withhold" income taxes in the act of signing a transaction. That would imply reading into the transaction itself, determination of whether it's a taxable event, calculating taxes, and then signing some *other* transaction to "withhold" taxes. To anyone who understands crypto, it's obvious that's not happening. It's one thing for a bunch of rookies on Twitter to get all confused and up in arms. But this is an investment thread. A key skill in investing is being robust against reacting to the surface message in some interest-serving headline, intended to goad people into a gut-reaction (either buy or sell). We need to get better at responding to these articles with a critical eye.

Strongly disagree and very ignorant of reality. In many countries such as Venezuela, Nigeria or El Salvador people do not use their government's money. They use either USD, Yuan, or Crypto. >It is further backed by stability in these governments, the government not killing the currency, a strong economy and protected through a military. Most governments are unstable, kill their currencies, have poor economies, and require conscription (AKA, slavery). >Crypto will only be accepted if it he government creates one that suits there needs which means it often becomes centralized around a government. Crypto is already accepted and endorsed by several governments. Some of them, such as Nigeria, use a CBDC distributed by their central bank. Others, such as Bhutan or El Salvador, endorse the daily use of decentralized currencies and spend resources to acquire it themselves. Nice try though brainlet.

EvilBeanz59

Lol. No. Not at all. There was schools everywhere roads everywhere fire departments police officers all of that. For everyone. Was it the best ever? No. But it was there with WAY WAY less financial backing unlike today. It doesn't take a serious a lot of money like people think it does to do particular things within a country at least when we're coming to what money it takes to run a country. Problem is is once something gets passed especially when it comes to money and or more power even though particular things are or were supposed to be temporary still to this day a lot of them still happen because those entities do not want to lose funding AKA money or power. So they do everything that they can to make themselves seem or very important to not only to where they get to stay permanently but they also increase their funding. Rines and repeat.

Repeat after me: the us is not going to default on its debt. This big scare happens every single year. The consequences of not increasing the debt “limit” outweigh relatively small amounts of increased debt. It’s not even worth considering given it has no chance of happening at all. The media just wants you to scare you into being happy or relieved when they inevitably do raise the debt limit AKA turn on the money printer and debase the currency. You lose from money printing, the wealthy win. It’s a mind game and at the heart of why bitcoin was created.

From that moment, up until exactly 9am GMT the following day, Safemoon saw one of the most ridiculous inorganic climbs in Crypto. In that 24hr period, there were 2,214 buys and just 142 sells. This is in the context of a consistent two week selloff immediately before this pump. My speculation: I suspect John has taken some of that $13.4m stolen from LP and used it to purchase a Crypto pump service. Doing spot checks on the wallets that have purchased Safemoon, there are some really suspect accounts. People that haven't bought or sold Safemoon in well over a year, all of a sudden they're flocking in to buy it at 10am GMT? Nah, sorry, I don't buy it.

Indeed. Legislation is luckily much more stringent than it was before. In 2008 there was a massive exposure of big financial institutions and investment firms to mortgage backed securities of which the underlying assets were the US housing market. As that bubble bursted due to subprime lending, predatory lending practices and literally just giving loans to anyone that wanted one without even checking their salaries, so did the firms that had the highest exposure to these incur massive losses which led to a global meltdown. The current banks that failed are merely a result of increase in interest rates to combat inflation (AKA the FED doing it's job) and a few banks that fucked up in their own way: * SVB took on too much liquidity risk and had too much equity stuck in longterm treasury bills which meant they could not honour the high number of withdrawals of its clients (who were mainly in tech, an industry that generally does not cope well with high interest rates) * First Republic business model revolved around low interest rates and got hit hard with the rate hikes * For Signature Bank, FDIC mainly put the root cause on bad management. Plenty of info on that available as well * Then there is Crédit Suisse... which is a whole different story on its own. So yeah.. All is well when printer goes brrrr and money is cheap. But as money is starting to get more expensive, so does it reveal which actors in our economy are mismanaged.

Pseudonymous =/= Anonymous. No, that's not the whole appeal. What makes it cencorship-restitant is it's decentralization. There is no central entity in control of the network, no entity deciding which transactions are allowed and which aren't. If they fit within the bounds of the protocol, and have fheir fees paid, the transaction will go through no matter what. No matter who approves or disapproves of the transaction. There are a couple reasons it's better than gold: For one it's impossible to [fake](https://preview.redd.it/this-10-troy-oz-gold-bar-is-filled-with-tungsten-and-v0-6ac9qxawwbpa1.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=0799c81d70fd557c951f53a6a06d147c880e1f7c). You can either recieve bitcoin, or not. Second is it's divisibility, as you know one bitcoin can be divided into 100m individual sats, and this allows for transaction on both large and miniscule amounts. On the Lightning Network fees are so low they are charged in fractions of a single satoshi, so we're already dividing sats too. Third is it's portability. You can send and receive payments instantly, anywhere in the world as long as you have an internet connection. Gold, not so much unless you are trabsferring the electronic deed to the gold, which brings me on to: It's security. If you, and only you have access to your bitcoin private key, then nobody else would ever be able to spend your UTXOs AKA steal your bitcoin. It cannot be taken from you. Gold can be stolen from you in your sleep, but words memorized in your head cannot.
