FOUR

I have 10K in two months. You have 40k in FOUR YEARS. Plus I'm rich. You don't win shit you fucking loser.

HODL_monk

You get to the future outlook by looking to the past, because our reality rhymes with the past. The US has defaulted on its debts not once, not twice, but FOUR TIMES ALREADY, so its actually 51.80 out of 52, and soon it will be 52 out of 52. What happens to fiat depends on how the powers that be let it play out. When the Continental Congress walked away from their Continentals, they just said the ends (successful revolution) justified the means (all lent money and labor's value went to $0), and it was done, 100% open rugpull. When FDR stole the people's gold for Fort Knox in 1933, it was to 'prevent hoarding', and that was a 40 % haircut to all goldies. When WW 2 was over, interest rates were held at below 2 %, while inflation raged, and something like 50 % was lost. In 1971, it was similar, although the interest rates surged along with the inflation, so it was more a 'gamified' version of a default, and if you were good or lucky, you could have won in gold or some bonds, but many lost a lot, if they held the wrong assets, like stocks. Judging from history, most likely this crisis will be a 50 % loss to inflation, because that is what the last three were, but they will probably gamify it again, like they did the lasts time in 1971, so holding certain things like homes or Bitcoin should let you come out way ahead in real purchasing power. The future of stocks is unknown, as they have not been acting like they did in the 1970's, so that is a big question mark, but what is less questionable is that we will need to default, and inflation is the easiest way to do it, because they can blame someone else, and it seems like 'greedy' corporations will be the bad guys this time, even though there has never been a time where most corporations were selfless, so the accusation is absurd on its face.

BIP39 wallets with 'recovery seed words' and passphrases were developed in 2013. That is FOUR YEARS after Satoshi Nakamoto mined his first batch of coins. So no, if there is a wallet there is NOT a passphrase.

B33fBalon3y

Who the fuck would listen to somebody who has been through FOUR bullruns and still doesn't have money? Start a roadside fruitstand or something.

TheRealTheory001

it's literally at the previous ATH from FOUR YEARS AGO. why on earth would that be a time to sell? It's literally the beginning of the next bull market for all of retail. "BTC is making all time highs" "OMG I thought it was dead, I need to buy some!".

na3than

But the Cycle! The Four Year Cycle! What will all the smug geniuses do if they can't say "we told you so" when there isn't a repeat of the FOUR YEAR CYCLE??

hkane2020

Yeah exactly. People underestimate the sheer number of possibilities that 2048 options in each slot over TWENTY FOUR slots opens up. Anyone doing this ^ thought has to be real careful and not try to be too cute. Make sure you separately write down somewhere what the decoy strategy was or you’re gonna end up hacking yourself out

thebeef111

You definitely aren't wrong, but for anyone thinking a decade is a long time, if you around in the last bullrun, it's been FOUR years already. That's almost half a decade lol.

ONE IN FOUR AMERICANS OWN BITCOIN* *402 Americans with at least one investment account between the ages of 18 and 78 were surveyed. 1/4 (~100) of them said they own bitcoin. 100 is a much less impressive number than the 80 odd million implied by the title, but hey.

maynardstaint

The biggest myth about Btc is that “no one knows who created it”. Btc hash rate is based off of US military code. It is government controlled. Department of homeland security visited the FOUR satoshi’s. This is what lead directly to “satoshi” cutting contact. The only reason to let you believe that they do not know, is to get your money in, so they can take it when they want to. Btc will be the biggest rugpull of all time.

RockFlagAndEagleGold

Not the house. A group of FOUR members of the house want it to go through. For all we know, that group has a lot of btc, and that's why they are pushing it. But the House of Representatives as a whole is NOT telling the SEC to approve an ETF. The letter was signed by Representatives Mike Flood, Tom Emmer, Ritchie Torres, and Wiley Nickel. 

maynardstaint

There is a video of a US department of homeland security agent, her name is Rana Saoud She explains that homeland security went to visit “satoshi” to find out how Btc works. She then goes on to say that DHS met with the FOUR satoshis, and they were given a through understanding of the protocol. It was shortly after this that “SATOSHI” was never heard from again.

MrMogz

Exactly, I made a post a week or 2 ago about the Cryptopia exchange debacle. They’ve been going for FOUR and half years sorting out the liquidation process. Customers might get sole of their funds back by next year. Absolutely ludicrous that it’s taken a team of double digit number people 4.5 years to sort it out. I have a hard time believing it’s anything but the creditors dragging out the process so keep soaking up the fees. I believe they were at $20+ million paid in fees over this timeframe so far.

That is not how the Howey test works. >An investment of money >In a common enterprise >With the expectation of profit >To be derived from the efforts of others For something to be deemed a security ALL FOUR prongs of the Howey must be met. If even one prong isn't met then it does not pass the test. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/h/howey-test.asp A common enterprise is a legal term also. There are horizontal and vertical enterprises. One of the core elements of an enterprise is a centralized "promoter" who collects revenue from investors, and that all risks and profits are shared equally among all investors. This sounds like a few cryptocurrencies, not many. Eg, CEX-staking is a security contract as it fails the Howey test. So are stocks. To be derived from the work of others is also iffy. Some people think that is inherent to crypto, but without *you* doing the work to build blocks using node software you selected, and without you taking on unique and risks based on your personal appetite, you aren't getting any profit beyond market speculation. This needs to go through the courts still to be defined. Eg, Grayscale Bitcoin ETF's are securities contracts as they manage the trust entirely on your behalf.

tldr; A single trader spent $119,157 in gas fees to purchase $155,000 worth of memecoin called Four (FOUR). The trader is sitting on 133 ETH ($245,667) in unrealized profit on their investment. The trader voluntarily increased their gas fee to speed up the transaction time. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*

Sharp-Subject-047

I think that was his strategy, he must've paid few thousand dollars to these news outlets to publish several articles and post them everywhere. Now we know there's a shit coin called FOUR

DetroitFireman313

Considering that I’ve never heard of $FOUR, year I’ve seen this article posted 10 times today, I’m thinking it worked out for him

coinfeeds-bot

tldr; A trader bought 84 ETH worth of the meme token FOUR on Uniswap V2 and paid 64 ETH in gas fees for a single transaction. The high gas fee comes as a result of increased activity on the Ethereum network due to meme coins like PEPE and BRC-20. The gas fees on the Bitcoin blockchain have also surged following the introduction of a fungible token standard. *This summary is auto generated by a bot and not meant to replace reading the original article. As always, DYOR.*

DetroitBTC21

He’ll probably make it all back with people FOMOing into FOUR now

ReceipeforNapalmB

Wait until He gets to know about the memecoin FIVE,its the next FOUR

schokobots

Losing all your ETH in fees or by buying a memecoin called FOUR has the same outcome: You wasted it all.

Blooberino

>The $FOUR meme coin which has a 24-hour trading volume of $72.3 million, has been the recent rave in the crypto community. Seems like this article was written as a thinly veiled shill attempt.

Harucifer

>Did you just say FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND FUCKING TRANSACTIONS are pending on the Bitcoin network right now? At time of writing there are 485,307 unconfirmed transactions. You can see at [https://mempool.space/](https://mempool.space/) ​ It's actually hilarious.

FinancialPeach4064

I’m sorry, did you just say FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND FUCKING TRANSACTIONS are pending on the Bitcoin network right now? Any link to stats or more info?

Petewonder

I’m just happy the we ALL can get wealthy off of PEPE. think about it. There are over FOUR HUNDRED TRILLION Pepe coins. I could easily become a quadrillionaire. Fuck a lambo. Spaceship money.

I saw your edit. But if you turn $10 into $20 once, then you TWO $10’s. Double those and you have FOUR tens etc. Done 5 times is $320

Hi Everyone, I'm posting this to share my fun blockchain creation; StellarFIVES.com It is, as the title states;The First-of-its-Kind Green Token Mining Endeavor, Built upon the Stellar Network...and it has 80s synth tuneage. If you have a Stellar XLM wallet, you have already received a weekly airdrop in your "Claimable Balances" for the ONE token. Mine ONE Token on Saturday through Monday, and then on Tuesday the TWO Mine will open and you may mine the TWO tokens by burning your ONE tokens. Once "Mined", the TWO token will appear in your Stellar wallet within the 5 second average transaction time, near Zero transaction fees. TWO is now your token and you may do with it as you please; Hodl, sale, etc. If mining intrigues you, then... On Wednesday the THREE Mine opens and you may Burn your TWO token to Mine the THREE token. Again, same deal; 5 second transaction time, near Zero transaction fees, and THREE token is yours to do with as you please. Thursday FOUR mine opens, burn THREE to mine FOUR... Friday FIVE mine opens, Burn FOUR to mine FIVES. The airdropped ONE tokens are FREE, you need not do anything to "earn" these tokens other than simply claiming 'em. Everyone receives the exact same amount regardless of their wallet holdings. If you are enjoying the "mining" endeavor and would like more ONE tokens, then a second option for "mining" ONE token is to "Lock" XLM in a "Claimable Balance" for 3 days, after which the "locked" XLM will be unlocked and available back in your Stellar Wallet with a "Claim XLM" Button. *StellarFIVES has not taken posession of any of that "Locked" XLM. It remains yours. *You may connect your Stellar Wallet to StellarFIVES.com, using Wallet Connect. Wallet Connect does NOT share your secret keys with website, nor does it have access to 'em. For more info on Wallet connect, please visit them. They are an independent entity and are not affiliated with StellarFIVES in any way. *If you do not yet have a Stellar Wallet, please DYOR. Stellar.org has a lot of info on approved XLM wallets. Lobstr.co supports Wallet connrct, and XBULL XLM Wallet links up smoothly with WalletConnect on Mobile. Once you get a Stellar Wallet, this ONE token Airdrop will be a reoccuring weekly event, and available to all Stellar wallets with at least 25XLM. (The reason for the 25XLM Minumum is because some accounts often create thousands of wallets to benefit from airdrops.) If  you dig the 80s synth music and fancy a new endeavor, then happy Mining!

Without taking in consideration that wallets exists also with 24 (TWENTY-FOUR) words, so the number are also huger that that.

Yes but also posting pictures with FOUR DAYS, THREE DAYS etc… is also not helping.

I was with a bank in Australia. Had been dealing with them for years and is a national bank. Visited family interstate for Christmas and attempted to purchase dogecoin through coinbase while visiting. Bank locked ALL of my accounts. I went to a branch and they refused to unlock them. They literally held my money ransom because I attempted to purchase crypto. I jad zero funds available for the holiday. Went back home and went to a branch again. Spent FOUR hours inside the branch on the phone to get accounts unlocked. They still couldnt do it so i withdraw everything as cash.i cant even close the accounts and still have the locked accounts in my name. I have since moved to a different bank and have had no issues - but no longer save money in them. Both of these banks are MAJOR banks.. as in top 3 in the country. I will never trust a bank again.

Hate it all you want but you can't argue with the fact that it was the best performing coin of the bull market. He airdropped BTC holders alone. Freeclaiming would've gotten you 10-20% more Bitcoin. FOR FREE. Hate it all you want, but these are facts- - RH used his own money to pay devs to create Hex, taking zero money before release - RH paid to have the Hex contract audited ***FOUR TIMES*** by independent auditing agencies - RH has no keys to the Hex contract. It runs on its own, since the day of launch Is it a shitcoin? Yeah. Do the founder(s?) hold 90% of the supply? YUP. But its a trustless, audited, immutable shitcoin with no admin keys. Its vastly better than stuff like these other defi contracts with admin keys, no audits, terrible code, and took people's money to build something that barely works, and get "hacked." So the hate against RH comes from somewhere else than technical assessment.

Now the average FIAT company always wants to be 100 % in debt and levered up, to try to beat earnings by a penny this quarter, but those guys are in a different business, and I would have hoped Bitcoin companies would be a LITTLE different, especially since they mine a resource that EVERY FOUR YEARS LIKE CLOCKWORK loses NINETY PERCENT OF ITS VALUE. I mean, seriously, did these morons somehow think they were in the last cycle, and now its strait to the moon, baby ? I get it if some 19 yr old thinks crypto is like that, but someone with a 10 BILLION dollar operation should think a little harder about how this asset trades. This is a business that NEEDS stored up fiat, because it will with almost 100 % likelihood have the asset trade below the cost of mining it, at least for a year or two, every four years, so the business needs to be able to run in the red for at least that long. Going bankrupt and losing all your equity and Bitcoin every four years is not a long term sustainable model, and I hoped there was at least one adult at this place that could have looked out a few years and seen this.

You'd think if someone bought at 69k that'd the thought "it's crashing, better get out" would occur, at least somewhere in the 50k's or 40k's.... Not sub 20k. It is difficult for me to understand why someone would would "panic sell", after hodling down to only 25% of initial investment left. The time to panic has long passed. more like "oh shit, markets crashing, better cash out with 75% my investment left." The only way I can see this happening is if someone chose not to check up on the market periodically. I mean I get that there was no time for reaction in LUNaCy's shit show... But Bitcoin gave everyone a pretty good opportunity to exit. It took FOUR WEEKS to drop 35%.

_Royal_Insylum

Buying at the high on FOUR cryptos, each with thousands of dollars.. they’re all down between 50%-90%

Yea they literally have all the grants compiled together and yet, even over the course of FOUR YEARS, if you add up ALL GRANT VALUES it doesn't even amount to ONE of the sales mentioned in this post. Glad its not done in the shadows so we can clearly see there is in fact money being siphoned for personal gain.

Maleficent_Plankton

That article is outdated. Most PoS protocols use randomized block proposals, not mining. PoW has a Nothing-at-Stake issue too. Bitcoin's security budget is orders of magnitude lower than the amount of loss you cause to its chain. Dozens of PoW chains have been successfully 51% attacked in the past, **including Ethereum Classic FOUR times**. PoW isn't secure by itself.

That’s was pioneered by infomercials back in the day. The OG’s that morphed into today’s “influencers”. The Billy Mays and the sham wow. “For a limited time only we’ll send you 4, THATS RIGHT FOUR, for the price of one, just pay separate S&H” (the S&H part was always said lower and faster than anything else. $19.99 was the going rate, for wash cloths and fancy collapsing water hoses both, you would have thought the lighter stuff would have been cheaper) . And the Carlton Sheets “get rich quick buying tax foreclosures” courses. And the Ronco food gadgets. Who knew you could make banana chips AND beef jerky with the same thing? The Ronco Electric Food Dehydrator. Jake Paul has nothing on the OG’s.

Elrond has postponed the release of the Bridge multiple times and it has been battle-tested FOUR times together with the community and thousands of participants. Elrond even wrote in their Blog that they wanted to make sure the Bridge was extra secure. They probably could have released it 2 months earlier, if they wanted to (which also was the planned debut of the Bridge). But of course, nothing is 100% secure. There is no such thing as 100% security :)

March 2019 was 3 years and 2 months ago. 10 months short of 4 years. But FOUR years if you like, given Bitcoiners are prone to exaggeration.

ktaktb

This is the worst take I've ever read. ​ Bitcoin reached a bottom of between 6 and 7 thousand after a giant drop and a period of consolidation and sideways movement from April 2018 to Nov. 1 2018. (SEVEN MONTHS) Volatility returned in November and early December and BTC found a new level of consolidation between 3 and 4 thousand. It remained in this range for FOUR MONTHS. ​ These are the times to DCA in. When the chart is sideways. ​ Go look at right now! Look at the chart. Look at the steep cliff. If this is really a bottom, there's gonna be a long time to DCA in during the consolidations that take place before the meteoric rise to a new ATH. ​ This is an irresponsible and frankly clueless take.

7inky

Hold on, you just splashed out on FOUR 3060s without investigating what's involved first?

GenericUsernameABCDE

So post nothing. There are plenty of people who come here looking to interact with others who are interested in bitcoin, who are happy to engage in conversation with beginners. There are FOUR MILLION people here, someone else will do it for you. Taking time out of your day just to announce that you refuse to help anyone is masturbatory shitposting; you feel good about it because you get to be a dick to a stranger, but in reality you haven't accomplished anything at all. And it contributes to the reputation that this sub and has and that bitcoin has to the uninitiated, of being an obnoxious hive mind. It's not entirely incorrect.

Friendly reminder: The last time we all feared a new bear market before a bull run began, BTC went from $39k to $67k in FOUR (4) weeks, almost a 70% jump. That's how fast shit changes in this space. If you don't believe everything can change in a matter of a few weeks or even days, you don't know crypto.

> Crypto wasn't developed explicitly for an illegal purpose The first cryptocurrency was started in 1982, but came to fruition in the early 90's called DIGICASH, by David Chaum. Then there were others such as b-money, eGold, Mojonation; all intended to skirt the laws. eGold was brought down after being in existence for several years for breaking US laws. All of these were before bitcoin. > You're also focussed on going after individual nodes and on the US specifically. The few nodes that matter lie in the US and UK. Nodes are a business designed to make money, **not fight governments**. And nodes need to pay light bills, rents, etc. in local currency (US Dollars), not bitcoin. > But, just looking at Bitcoin as an example, nodes are spread all over the planet, and there are nearly 15,000 of them. False. [FOUR BTC (that's is not the real bitcoin btw) nodes control more than 55% of the hashrate](https://miningpoolstats.stream/bitcoin) All other smaller "nodes" are pointless at this time. A simple court order to foundrydigital, and antpool would cause immediate change. They would obey just like other nodes. > No country has jurisdiction over all nodes, or even a majority of nodes, and if one country started to go after nodes within its jurisdiction, it would simply incentivize the redistribution of nodes into places that don't. False. See above. If the court orders Brad Stauffer of foundrydigital to stop mining btc or update his software, you bet your bottom dollar he will obey. You can ask him if you don't believe me. **he controls a large share of the network**. > It is WAY easier to just say OK guys, crypto is illegal and all CEXs are shut down. That is true. > Forget about going after nodes and blah blah blah. Nodes are just as easy, and sends a stronger message. > I'm sure there are a few brave souls risking terrible consequences by continuing to use crypto, **but most people aren't**. True. > But the flip side is that places that aren't authoritarian dictatorships are less likely to pass such regulations in the first place and, again, even if they do, the odds of EVERY country on the planet doing so are basically nil, for the simple reason that ultimately every country is looking out for itself, and there is too much to be gained from crypto to just kill it off. For one, nodes likely wouldn't be doing business there due to the inability to convert coins to local currency. Second, most countries want to bank with the US. They won't risk being sanctioned for crypto. > Finally, your headline ("government wins") and your conclusion ("BTC wins by technical knockout") are at odds with each other... Bitcoin is **NOT** **B**lockstream's **T**errible **C**oin. BSV is Bitcoin. I explained that in a post yesterday.

> FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN'S HASHING POWER. These are pools.

archer4364

>FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN'S HASHING POWER. That sounds decentralized to me. Four **different** miners. Four different parties. Yeah not optimal but centralized would be closer to ONE miner having more than 50% control

beeth2

> FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN'S HASHING POWER. Four *pools* is not four *miners*. Unless those "pools" are misusing the term?

Elean0rZ

You literally said, in reference to the pools: >FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN'S HASHING POWER. So, again, **no**, they do not function as single miners. All participants in a pool are free to "vote" independently on matters of consequence to network governance. The fact that they are choosing to cooperate at any given moment doesn't mean they will always choose to do so. You are also not taking into account the validator nodes, which are one of the main agents of decentralization. ​ >It's almost as if those centralized entities can decide what, when, and the price of what to sell you. There are, of course, whales, market-making bots, and so on, but they aren't a direct consequence of the existence of CEXs. More to the point, unless you're going to argue that every CEX, plus the many, many high-volume DEXs (Uniswap, etc) are all in cahoots, then the suggestion that they are deciding the price of what to sell you is ridiculous. Any entity that tried to dictate non-market-based pricing would immediately create an opportunity for arbitrage and lose volume, and therefore fees. The incentive of exchanges is to reduce barriers to trading, not increase them. As for the final point, you highlighted an arbitrary portion of what I said in order to create a statement that I didn't say. Like I actually **did** say, though, if a single entity controlled a ton of hashpower but its miners all mined solo or participated in smaller pools, you would not be making your "FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN's HASHING POWER" all-caps argument, yet functional centralization would potentially be greater.

dav_ooh

>FOUR MINERS CONTROL 53% OF BITCOIN’S HASHING POWER. I’m really going to need you to understand how mining works before you post this again.
