APPLE

Typical_Breadfruit15

Because if you buy a stock of APPLE for instance, you are buying a piece of a business that produces profit, so even if you don't sell the stock , you make money out of it. This is not true for BITCOIN

Business_Accident576

I was making a statement about Apple - meaning, buying only BTC in crypto, is the same as buying only APPLE on stock

Business_Accident576

As a matter of fact, just because OP didn't ask about diversification, it doesn't make me wrong, it makes sense - whilst principally I agree with you, it would be crazy to think, based on your advice, OP would buy only BTC, APPLE, one house in LA ONLY - diversification extends both to assert clashes, AND, to assets within each class

This reminds me of a fellow start up employee I had that went and bought APPLE GIFT CARDS because the CEO asked. I strongly recommended against this candidate so … needless to say I was right but people are STUPID and TRUST anything they hear even if shit doesn’t add up…

The Bitcoin boat has already sailed. Forget it. Too many people look for get rich quick. It didn't happen with BTC, and it ain't gonna happen for your little brother either. What will happen is your little brother making all the wrong choices for the right reasons, and getting screwed in the process. Remember when BTC came out? 2009. 16 years ago now. In other words; it took 16 long years to get here. Remember when Nividia came out? 2005. 20 years ago. Remember, APPLE, AMAZON, FACEBOOK??? All you young people better listen up: most of crypto is a huge scam. Look at the performance usage over the years: most have normal traffic on them. But BTC was the first, then Doge, XRP, etc. The price of a coin depends on the amount of contracts it gets. Look at the market cap vs the available amount of coin. In BTC case, there's only 21 million coins available. 19+ million have mined so far. Value approx 1.9T. So, scarcity drives demand. Now, how many Doge is out there? Tons. How many XRP? Tons. All these alt coins and meme coins are getting hyped by young YouTubers that are ripping you all off and being paid to do so. Don't believe me? Shiba Inu was involved with FTX. Remember Sam Brinkman Freid? No? Well, that's because he's in prison doing 20+ years for that Ponzi scheme. The US GOVERNMENT just moved 54.6 million Shiba Inu coins into a new wallet just so that some money can be made to recoup losses for investors involved in investing with FTX. Tell your little brother that if he's super serious about investing; to READ THE BOOK: The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey. Dave is not some broke guy giving advice. Dave Ramsey started with NOTHING twice, and is now worth over $650 million. The best investor arguably in the last century (100 years) is Warren Buffet, the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway. Wanna what he said about crypto? Buffet does NOT own one coin, not one. Buffett's net worth: $147.6 billion.

MacPooPum

I have the same logic when I invest for my retirement. So long as the stock I'm buying is in a field that isn't going to disappear tomorrow then I want it. Namely, AMD, NVIDIA, APPLE and other big tech companies. We all know crypto goes through bear and bull markets. So while it's high take some profits and when it's low reinvest those profits.

Due-Imagination-863

If I want my daughter to start, is it safe to just say $100/month into AMAZON, TESLA, APPLE, NVDA ?

Due-Imagination-863

I was you in 2021, put most of my $$ around November when market was HIGH and I did not even know what a "bull or bear market" was. at all. If I could go back, I would have asked more questions, and figured out it was in a bull run, and to WAIT. If I would have made the same investment either a year prior, or later, I would have 5-6x my current. I would have also just invested in NVDIA, TESLA, APPLE, AMAZON and my 10k would be 100k now probably. just my regurts

SnooRevelations3802

I Never understand why people keep saying price won't matter in the long run. In OP's APPLE analogy between 14 or 28 Whatever (massive) return someone had at 28 cost basis could be doubled if the cost was 14 instead of 28. So of course it matters. Same with BTC. I too believe it will be higher and at some point 90k will be way behind, but I won't ever think it didn't matter between 90k or 60k or 50k...

Salt-Device-6172

And APPLE is the most expensive tech products but their software and UI is leagues ahead of everyone…

I install this app, TAUCoin, on my IPhone. Howeve, this app is not downloaded from APPLE official App Store, I am not sure if I should trust it. It would be great if you used this app, and can provide any information about it !

CelticBlue22

Render - I like this because of the APPLE partnership and all the uses with VR and the rest of the imaging world. ICP - Computer usage of GPU's make a ton of sense.....move away from software computing to a less expensive market in smart contracts. eco-friendly, AI infused projects. You dont need wallets to interact with the DAPPS, you only need a browser. I can only see this market exploding and with the limited amount of coins available, i think this can go 5-10x...... BTC- Digital gold....extremely limited.....nuff said Some other altcoins i dont get, but people praise them....

you're not sold on something that APPLE is using? mkay

My advice DO NOT SELL APPLE . Buy some bitcoin if you want . DO NOT SELL APPLE !

Jasonmun8

You can’t compare bitcoin to MS or APPLE or any other stock. You can compare it to gold which is 10 trillion and btc will be double gold at minimum. We are in the era of unknown a asset with a maximum supply

PostalAzul

I simply follow the stock market and make decisions based on it. Crypto has now become just another "stock" for institutional investors and is considered a risky asset, akin to stocks of technological companies. When we reach the stage where I constantly hear about that "bitcoin phenomenon thing surging" and "TESLA/APPLE/etc. skyrocketing" in the news, and many relatives and friends begin to inquire about investing in crypto, that will be the point where I'll take action. Additionally, I keep an eye on the actions of the Federal Reserve. It appears they may lower interest rates soon. I just plan to hold up to the end of 2024, at least.

No_Journalist4048

Part of that is "Minimum standards" in places in other parts of the world there are much stricter AML and standards for Counter Terrorism. As such it's a company wide "Strictest Laws Apply Here" mentality. So places like the USA where the laws are lax you guys are dealing with this. Why are we doing this cause it's not a law in my country. Well crypto exchanges are world wide, it's international laws. Not just USA. See UN and such bodies. Since USA has freedoms and such your country is very anti anything American. They like to pick fights because that's all your government knows. SEE: FBI vs APPLE. Your government is very anti letting you control your money. I can use my crypto card anywhere in the world. No currency exchanging. No banks to deal with. It's true freedom. I can hop a plane from any international Airport in canada, to NY or Washington. Then fly overseas and my crypto card will work everywhere in between. And no government can stop it once I'm out of the country. And if I was in trouble I can simply transfer it to tornado and I'm gone. That's why KYC exists. Then again I'm not American so I don't NEED to worry about this stuff. We just follow the regulations and carry on with our days. I report my info and pay my taxes and just do my thing.

brian-augustin

Don't get me wrong I was super hyped about Bitcoin back in 2015 still to this day when I see huge runs 6% even surprised we get 10% in a week, that's great but IMO you need a lot of money invested into Bitcoin to make a decent return, the money maker is alt coins, SOL - being the big hitter. ETH is still kind of slacking, surprised its not 2.8-3k. I don't have income atm, still holding BTC/ETH but when I do get income I'm definitely still buying crypto but I'm not putting more % into crypto than stocks. >What I'm not doing is wasting my money buying stocks like a sucker. I mean...you look at crypto as a whole compared to some companies/ETFs and your words are just kinda foolish to say. $NVIDIA,APPLE,GOOGLE,SPY,VOO - The only time those stocks fail is during a global world event.

Basic-Instance-7998

pretty realistic considering APPLE is already at 3 trillion, so that number is not crazy anymore especially with the money printing

pet2pet1982

Bitcoin code is shit exactly like code of ancient UNIX or Windows 95. Segwit and Taproot are good features, indeed. And they could temporarily fix some fungibility issues, because for example, atomic swap between Monero and Bitcoin blockchain can be for sure hidden inside a taproot tx. But KYC problem is much deeper than appear. Regulators increase their outrage and can easily declare each taproot transaction as “dirty”, or “suspicious”. It is sufficient to turn your trading life on centralised exchanges into perfect hell. If you compare such a hell with traditional financial institutions- they seem much more honest and robust. Because KYC of traditional institutions is much more transparent and stable. And even if years will be passed, what is a Bitcoin destiny? Perfect KYC of traditional institutions? But then why Bitcoin is needed at all?! I can register at say Interactive Brokers and trade NVidia and Apple asset with much better profitability/risk ratio. Cryptocurrencies has no value at all, EXCEPT their transactions are FULLY OUTSIDE the mighty of any regulator given. It is EXACTLY the crypto definition. So you can’t even call Bitcoin a Crypto today. It is something else, say “quasi-traditional financial asset that resembles non-fungible goods, i.e. objects that can be enumerated, traced, and assigned an unique ID or serial number. There is then no value behind Bitcoin, if it exists under KYC surveillance. NVIDIA or APPLE assets or treasure bonds are much, much better, and have real world sense. But Monero is the REAL game changer. If most merchants could accept Monero directly, we need no exchanges at all. Like in real world: most people can live with paper dollar and never encounter an exchange service. Because all street stores accept dollar directly. Oh yes, one can buy drugs by paper dollar - but it is a POLICE work to investigate. But there must be NO crime if there is NO victim. And if police suspects somebody - they MUST provide an evidence to the COURT. See, how deep in ass we are if we consider KYC outrage established over transparent blockchain of Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc?! Total presumption of GUILTY. There is YOU now a person who must prove INNOCENCE!!! May be it is time to start thinning by your brain? Compare how Overton window have moved a lot, since 1960x for example? You all behave exactly like people from “Don’t Look Up” movie.

Rice-Fragrant

You’re wrong to assume that people with college degrees are “uneducated.” By the classical definition of what it means to be “educated,” many college graduates of this generation are not educated… they lack basic critical thinking skills are some cannot even read or write at their expected grade levels. The standards have been watered down so much that even the employers are having to do REMEDIAL TRAINING. A college graduate in 2023 is the equivalent of a HIGHSCHOOL GRADUATE IN 1950s in the UK and USA. This has been well documented… the Oxford mathematics entrance exams over the last few decades been falling generation after generation. The IQs been falling all across the board too. It is starting to make logical sense why their pay has been uncompetitive and at best no better than most skilled tradespeople. APPLE, GOOGLE etc even scrapped the degree requirements for programmers who wish to work more there.

Roland_91_

Because that's not true in the slightest. Hackers try to hack everything, that's kinda the point. It's not like "you must be this tall to ride" exists in the hacking community. Eth and friends have been getting hacked since it was smaller than Cardano is now. Sol got ddosed when it was tiny. Algo was a nothing chain and got their wallet hacked. EOS was Ddosed into oblivion thanks to their fee structure. Constant small chains, small DEXes and new L2s on ETH and elsewhere are getting compromised every week and you have the balls to say that there are no hacks on cardano because not a single person has bothered to try? Could it be that perhaps the security is higher and it's much harder?...oh not it can't be that, that makes noooooo sense. It's obviously that no one wants billions of dollars that are just free for the taking on cardano. It was the same argument against apple "no one builds viruses for apple cause no one uses it....well now everyone uses it and THERE ARE STILL NO VIRUSES ON APPLE. Because they have a better security model and a gated community. Cardano is worth 13 billion dollars. The ETH Dao hack was when ETH was A $1 billion market cap. So please explain.

courtneyjohn797

Buddy that’s like saying if you want some APPLE stock you just not Apple. Do you know how many ETFs are purchased that have Apple in them?

I don’t like Tesla at these levels. If it gets back to 100ish maybe. Don’t see enough growth to pay 76 times earnings. Could be wrong. But I’ll take my free money in APPLE. Bitcoin 20%, I’m a genius woah!!!!

Peach-555

Another way of looking at it is the market cap of USD compared to the market cap of BTC. USD market cap grows on average \~6% per year, if BTC grows more than that on average it will eventually overtake it. There are other entities that people can invest in that can also overtake USD supply, like APPLE which is already over 10% of the USD supply. But unlike APPLE shares BTC can be transferred between people without any ID needed.

The number of people who haven’t read the white paper or any white paper is not a surprise at all. Someone else commented that the average person doesn’t need to read the white papers anyway, which I actually sort of agree with. Average investor isn’t doing anything technical enough to need to know the inner workings so intimately. The only contrast I throw is that people buy APPLE stock and know what it does at least. But maybe that’s not the same.

Agreed. Honestly I am tired of no regulation and the stock market pumping for the past 6 months.. it honestly makes me just want to cash everything out and put it in NVDIA or APPLE. At least I know my money is safe there. Regardless I am just going to keep what I have left in crypto and ride the wave I guess.

BIGDADDYCRYPTO6900

More people here has used XLM and the Stellar Network yet ya’ll keep holding something like Matic and SOL which a lot of people has zero exposure to, cause of the ‘’price.’’ A commodity though can gain in value is not dependent on its price action, that’s why majority of these coins are securities cause y’all are expecting a return in your investments. If everyone are being honest, majority don’t care about freedom, the blockchain , WEB3, the tech, etc… Most people in this space are in it for profits, ‘’WIfe Changing Money’’ … APPLE YTD is over 30%, that’s a nice return, but nope everyone got greedy and wanted 1000x . Responsibility starts with yourself, not the SEC, not the government. Just my +.02

There’s different kind of bitcoin maxis not all of them are toxic … But there’s way more bitcoin maxis that actually managed to get rich compared to all the alt coin holders. And it’s bold to assume that someone, that has been in crypto for a long time making money, is not capable of having a solid view on alt coins. Some are maxis for the tech and yet are into alts to make money similar they have in the past with bitcoin. Some know how money works and I can guarantee you: DOGE won’t hit 3x APPLE value

It isn't an audit. Never said it was. I said it was an attestation via an AUP.

AUDIT IS NOT AUP AUP IS NOT AUDIT AUP IS ATTESTATION SERVICE AUDIT IS ATTESATION SERVICE APPLE IS NOT ORANGE ORANGE IS NOT APPLE BANANA IS FRUIT ORANGE IS FRUIT You seem fixated on the word audit, but appear to have zero understanding of what an AUP, an audit, or a attestation service is.

APPLE IS BUYING ETHEREUM maybe

HashedEgg

>The point being that no one tells APPLE what software runs on their hardware except them. Once you bought a mac, a nintendo or whatever other piece of hardware that can run code, the company has no legal say whatsoever on what you can or can't run on it. Apple can't tell me what to run on the hardware they sold me, it's not theirs anymore, it's mine. That's one of the fundamental principles our whole economy is based on... possesion of goods and all that. That's why bootcamping windows on Apple hardware is legal, why jailbreaking your phone or console is legal and so on. > You’re taking Apple to be a hardware company in the same vein as PCs, but Apple isn’t open hardware. It's really irrelevant how PC or Mac promotes their hardware as being "open" or a "curated enviroment" or whatever terms you want to use. My problem isn't with Apple having a closed store system they heavily moderate. That's totally fine, it's their service, they can do whatever they want with that. My problem is them blocking alternative software and services on a machine they sold to me or other consumers. That's a company forcing the consumer what they can and can't do with their own stuff. That is something completely different from "forcing a company to run software they didn't intend", that implies the company would have to actively invest efforts so "non intended" software would be able to run and so on, which is ridiculous. "Forcing" someone not to block something isn't the same as forcing them to run something.

_HOG_

You sound confused. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt. You’re taking Apple to be a hardware company in the same vein as PCs, but Apple isn’t open hardware. The point being that no one tells APPLE what software runs on their hardware except them. If you cannot handle it, buy a PC, some people want this kind of ecosystem. It seems Ableton chose this distribution model for a reason.

Burrito_Loyalist

I don’t get why people get upset over Apple’s cut. It’s the APPLE STORE.

Exotic_Cantaloupe_96

It's the wild west out there at the moment. One of the biggest IT companies that survived the 70s, 80s, 90s and is a dominant giant today was named APPLE. I won't bet on DOGE but I won't be surprised either if it survives and thrives.

theowl_23

More complicated than this. FED is increasing the rates, which means borrowing money is much more expensive than before. Which means less money in the market. Because of inflation, expenses increased as well, less money to invest. Moreover, cyrpto is always a risky investment. Since everything is going down, people might consider other type of investments first. The market cap of whole crypto is not one APPLE. Crypto is a small market. It brings more volatility. There were also some black swan events in crypto like LUNA crash and DeFi liquidations. CeDeFi companies like Celsius and Voyager went bankrupt. Some people lost all of their investments and they don't have trust to crypto anymore. Lots of reasons to not invest in crypto for retailers and institutions in this situation. Me? I am still investing in crypto but I understand others.

Aeriq

not the guy you responded to but, he's referring to a "passphrase." Explaining simply, if the fella you responded to, let's call him greg, let's say he's got a coldcard mk4 hardware wallet. Our hardware wallets store our 24 keys in "cold storage" i.e. they're stored on an encrypted chip that never touches the internet, and greg uses this device mostly to store his sat stack but occasionally to sign transactions (send bitcoin). to prevent loss of those 24 words, greg stamped his 24 words into a piece of fireproof steel and probably has that hidden somewhere in his home. Greg is presented with an issue now. He's secured his keys on a hardware wallet, and he's backed them up, but he doesn't feel safe enough yet. Can't a thief just come in, find that steel plate and have full access to his bitcoin? What if his son's friend is snooping and finds the plate? While it's on him to keep it somewhere safe, greg added one additional layer of security to get the peace of mind he was looking for. He added a passphrase, and he's basically created a wallet within a wallet. in wallet 1, which is basically 24 keywords = access to this wallet, wallet A, then he added a passphrase, which for simplicity sake, is set to the word 'apple'. By logging into wallet A then adding the passphrase "apple", greg can access Wallet A(b). He could have a whole bunch of different passphrases with their own little side accounts, but he chooses not to, wallet A(b) provides him with the security he desires. He can leave his passphrase in his will if he wants to. It sounds like greg keeps a dummy amount, $50 or so, in his main account as a diversion. His real wallet is Wallet A(b), is where the goods are at, but good luck accessing them. Also, passphrases, like passwords, are case sensitive, so apple and Apple and APPLE and aPpLe and AppLE will all take you to seperate wallet accounts. if the passphrase is lost, the funds will be as well. I don't recommend a long stupid hard to memorize passphrase if you ever choose to use one. Let the complexity of cryptography do its job, just come up with a passphrase that won't be forgotten, and store is safely, away from hardware wallet or steelplate.

inddais

there is always a difference in buying APPLE stock and buying stocks of a company that has an APP in APPLE. Smart Contracts serves different purposes and you can always verify the purpose and if it is good, then it scores. Just remove OIL from Dollar - there will be no purpose for some country to hold it outside US. If there is a purpose, the currency lives.

XLM for me feels more stable in the background like a SAMSUNG but that doesn't mean that they have less potention in my opinion. I also have a little of both as I think they both have a solid team and plan.

Dow slips below 30k for first time since 2021 & we have people surprised crypto is suffering. Calling it dead is foolish - this is not , nor the last slump we will see in our lifetimes. Imagine if this slippage happened during a repblicans term - the media would be calling for panic . We should be lucky it's happening under a dem's watch as those of you remember what happened in2007- 2008 right before Obama took office. If you were buying at the top you should be buying now , if you disagree - you never should of put money in , in the first place. Buy btc the same way you buy your SPY , MSFT ,APPLE , etc & you will be absolutely fine.

You guys realize that you can buy call options on good companies like AMD and APPLE and 10x your money in a month right? You dont have to throw your hard earned money into a shit coin. Cmon be adults and gamble properly. Buying shit coins is for children. Call options are for men. You literally are risking more capital for less of a gain. Honestly anyone investing in shit coins and not doing call options is not a gambler, but a fucking moron.

> Imagine Apple Yeah bruh you cant just ImAGiNe ApPLe after greedily aping into a token that was already down 99% No one owed you anything. You decided out of your own will to go buy a shitcoin that was imploding Now you end up here crying This isnt a "IMAGINE APPLE" situation, rather more like Imagine a race car driver just crashed his car and the whole world knows he's done for the race, but right after the crash you chucked 100k bet on him winning the race, you lost all of it and then end up crying on reddit This is all on you. Dont get rinsed by speculative investments and then cry you deserve something. You dont. Do better.

Find it a little too archaic. If crypto is tied to Bitcoin, how can it grow? There are more use cases than Bitcoin. Why compare against BTC. It’s like every tech stock evaluating against Amazon or APPLE.

I've made more money this year on the wrapped Luna i bought to be a part of the meme then my MSFT/APPLE/AMZN stock combined . The world is a lie !!

Do you know why I included GME? What I said about cult mentality isn't unique to crypto, not sure what your point was. Your other example are poor. In your examples, those guys are fanboys of APPLE's or starbucks' PRODUCTS. THis isn't the same shit as being cult like towards apple's stock. Chances are many of the fanboys probably aren't online trying to convince people to invest in Apple's stock. For crypto, the only product that they currently have is the coins that have value because any idiot decided to buy it. It doesn't generate anything. A public ledger of proof doesn't mean anything. It doesn't do anything that we couldn't do right now. Most of the products that people like you love to brag that crypto can solve are things that exist due to socioeconomic policies that can easily be solve if there was an actual NEED for it. A public ledger isn't anything worth driving home about, it could be replicated if need be without the need for the current coin.

Nope , bought APPLE instead...didn't miss anything.

Yes i do, i really believe the future is multi-chain and ETH and ADA have opposite aproachs to development (like Microsoft and APPLE)

lolonnyy

Yes, name like APPLE, GOOGLE, MICROSOFT. there are some really big player here.

Best note about safety.... STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ALL APPLE PRODUCTS😎

Plutus Card, probably one of the best. 3% cashback for a 250€/month spending (free, no need to pay anything to get the 3%, only the card sometimes) \+1 Perk per month giving you 100% or 10€ cashback in 20 or 30 different services/stores (netflix, spotify, booking, airbnb, LIDL, ALDI, APPLE, etc) ​ And this is only the free tier. If you upgrade your tier by staking PLU, the rewards get insane.

APPLE...lol, don't get me started. Grew up in an Apple computer family until they stopped supporting their products, and have never looked back after switching away. Now I hear constantly about my friends not being able to use game apps (Coin Hunt World) and claim BAT tokens, and I really feel good about that decision to ditch them long ago.

What will happen to APPLE once warren buffet dumps all of its shares? Answer: He wont, the reason he bought them is because they are valuable. Same applies to people that buy bitcoin in large ass quantities, the conviction of those investments is super high.

2030: APPLE coin hits 100k

right, i'm not saying you did, someone did though... plebzzz... either way, lets have a discussion about legal tender. I guess i'm just not connecting the dots on price action of bitcoin being correlated to the rest of the world seeing it as legal tender. that's point #1. point #2 is to me the huge domino to fall will be the game theory of cities/countries/huge financial institutions (APPLE/GOOGLE etc..) adding bitcoin as a reserve asset. In my opinion that's when bitcoin really starts to moon towards 500k a coin. The legal tender thing is just a peepshow, and if you want to get technical about it the IRS in the US already categorized bitcoin as digital property. So i'm not too sure much else will be done within the US to give bitcoin legal tender status. However, I could be wrong here.

APPLE: We believe with Apple on the Bitcoin monetary network, the human species will have stronger money.

MISLEADING. There’s already plenty of services that accept Apple Pay. Such as KUCoin. The fees are HORRENDOUS. What we want to see is APPLE PAY INTEGRATING CRYPTO INTERNALLY. *fingers crossed*

I hold TESLA/APPLE/NVDA long term atm. I'm also playing energy/metals for the current market. I'm green almost daily.

APPLE about to accept BTC. things are going crazy!!!

lampstax

Cool idea, though maybe you should 'encrypt' the words a bit with some basic letter shifting algo that you can remember just in case someone stumbles onto this in your house ( worker / cleaners / thieves ) and actually know what it is. Something basic that you could encrypt and decrypt in your head could work. Maybe shift every letter down +n characters. APPLE would become BRSPJ for example.

c_games_official

Would be amazing if Amazon/Whole Foods started accepting BTC via LN, but there are other brands on that graphic Whats interesting to me is Jack's APPLE hat with the middle finger. Either he's saying "F You, Apple Pay!" or its "F Yeah, Apple Pay!"

This man invented Apple yes we should listen to him. Again he not Steve Jobs invented APPLE

I think DOGE/APPLE vs BTC/Gold is a bit far fetched. How many DOGE vs Apple articles are out there in mainstream media? There's thousands of bitcoin vs gold comparisons https://www.cnbc.com/2021/08/04/bitcoin-vs-gold-heres-what-billionaire-ray-dalio-thinks.html

The key part here I assume is that starting 3/17/20 they put 533m using DCA into bitcoin and now that is worth it 718m. A nice investment, that is certain, although checking just a couple days ago it wouldn't have looked all that impressive, honestly. I mean, APPLE has more than doubled since that date, depending on the DCA exact details, there is a very high chance investing in Apple would have been more profitable.
