Not crypto but here’s the kinda shit the American President is up to: In June (Iran war time) Trump bought nearly $500,000 in Boeing stock THE SAME DAY the U.S. government awarded Boeing a $880 million Navy contract. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-boeing-navy-contract/ The US president is war profiteering. So ripping off a bit of crypto investors is NOTHING. Cuz they literally gave him their $$$.

Lacklusterspew23

So, 4.5% a year. Seems like blackrock or some other big institutional market manipulator wants to short BTC and is paying 5.5% a year to coinbase for the right. This could be evidence of a conspiracy to crash BTC for the next 2 years. Take ALL your BTC off coinbase NOW! Leave them with NOTHING. Screw the market manipulators. Basically "deposit your BTC with us and lock it up for 2 years to get 9% so we can crash BTC down to virtually zero." I cannot imagine why coinbase wants BTC on deposit with them so bad that they are paying such a huge rate unless either 1. someone else wants to short it or, 2. they lost a ton of BTC and have to replace it because an institutional demanded self custody. Can anyone audit coinbase's BTC holdings?

Except those people ended up getting back funds through the bankruptcy process, along with Celsius, in fact the creditors from these cases ended up doing fairly well. Those with the Cold Card hack will get NOTHING back.

QuirkyPainter92

All this hype because the President said the US might buy bitcoin. Let’s look at the historical stability of outcomes. 1. Tariffs on and off 2. Iran deal on and off 3. Ukraine support I on and off This is NOTHING to get excited about folks. It could change on a dime just like everything else. Making trades immediately after is the better play instead of hoping the outcome will stick. He’s a masterclass in subverting expectations. He said “Well, it’s been talked about. I think I’d probably rely on Paul and the whole group for that. He’ll make a decision, you guys will make a decision, and you’ll let me know. But certainly it’s been talked about. It’s, uh, it’s taken a lot of pressure off the dollar….” So others will discuss it, Make a decision which is actually a recommendation, then it will go through the White House Presidential team, and then Trump will sift through it and decide, or maybe not. The talk he knows will get the market churning and that’s the goal. Nothing else.

ubermensch1001

2024-2025 was basically just a BTC bull market, with some alts just tagging along or doing very little. To put this into perspective, ETH was at the same price in the summer of 2023 as it is now, while BTC back then was trading around 25-30k. You had a couple that did really well, Solana and XRP, but the alts collectively have done NOTHING since 2021. Sure, you had some opportunities for swing trades, but in terms of an actual alt season it never occurred. I do think we will have an alt season at some point, the variables for that to occur based around monetary policy just weren't there in 2024 through 2025.

There is NOTHING decentralized about Ethereum. Nothing. Like three guys call the shots for the entire ecosystem.

ubermensch1001

In my opinion, if you saw something like this happen with Ledger or Trezor the ramifications for the broader crypto market would be enormous. This hack sucks, but it was with approximately 5200 wallets in total, which in the grand scheme of things is NOTHING. There are roughly 22 million addresses with $100+ in BTC and 10.5 milion with $1,000, this hack represents approximately 1 in 5000 of those, I'm sure there were wallets with under $100 as well but we'll just stick with this for the sake of simplicity. This wallet wasn't even in the top 10 and had 5 employees, your local fast food place has more people than that lol. This makes absolutely no sense if you think about it and should ring off alarm bells. The reality is that these people shilling Cold Card on here were possibly paid actors/trolls. To compare though, Ledger has sold over 8 million units and Trezor north of 2 million. Are they perfect, no, but they have been around for a very long time. It makes no sense to buy some no name wallet when you could buy from one of the top brands.

Zestyclose_Ad2462

My heart goes out to all those affected by this. They did NOTHING wrong, everything they were supposed to and still.... got vaporized. One thing missing here is this: Many of these youtube "influencers" have been pushing to invest in BTC and ONLY BTC, self-custody/cold wallets and get off exchanges. If you questioned that, you were shut down with the "not your keys, not your coins" argument. Going to need a new slogan after this. I am new to BTC and still believe in BTC, but never would I put all my eggs in one basket. Chose multiple ETF's using different custodians, then setup a cold wallet and funded it with a tiny, tiny amount. In addition to that I use a 4th exchange to keep a very small sum on. My reasoning: Blackrock, etc. employs cyber-security experts far more knowledgeable than I. The tiny expense ratio is money well spent IMO, unless you're some cyber-whiz. And no, it's not insured by FDIC/SPIC. But at least there's a chance Fidelity or whoever would make people whole, if they dropped the ball. That and the Fed can always print more $ to give to custodians/big banks (remember the great recession?) to reimburse people. Still, you can and should have low-cost index funds, gold, REIT's etc. Good rule to live by: No more than 10% in any one investment! And self-custody? It's there/built, if the world ends and I need it.

Vancecookcobain

Yea it's just an address like one you get on an exchange which means that THEY have the private keys and are responsible for the security. That's the point of failure there. If they aren't securing the private keys properly it can compromise his account since he is trusting them with that responsibility. This has NOTHING to do with the Bitcoin protocol itself. I have 0 idea why we are going back and forth 😂

RaeintheShell

Hey man, I understand you feel embarrassed but understand that you did NOTHING wrong. This was the fault of ColdCard and their shitty coding. You were scammed at no fault of your own. You were scammed by what was a previously extremely credible company that the entire community supported. Please don’t take it out on yourself. It’s like being robbed at gunpoint and feeling bad about it. You were robbed man.

Absolutely NOTHING can stop me from doing this. It is my intention to do this. You think it is risky because perhaps you don't understand Bitcoin fully. It's not a criticism, it's an observation.

DAFTisEasy

No. No one is trying to help me. People are dumbly trying to explain what bitcoin and wallets are as if I have not been traded bitcoin since 2013 and as if they seem to have just discovered it. This has NOTHING to do with wallet storage. This has to do with off ramping to fiat. It is amazing to me that you don't know the difference.... And from the look of your pic you are the one with the tits.

Prosecutors are the worst of the worst. I'd rather have anyone but her in there. I can't stand trump, but I might vote for him just to prevent a prosecutor from running the country. These people think they are gods. I've been through the federal system. They are the ones who belong in prison trust me. As for drugs, the war on drugs is quite literally the most horrific assault on the sick and the poor the world has ever seen. Locking up millions of people many for decades for having a bag of chemicals... it's truly unbelievable. Drugs aren't good but it doesn't matter they are part of the human condition. Even selling drugs should be legal because it solves NOTHING by locking up people for it. If you arrest one dealer the only thing that happens is the addicts go across the street and buy from the dealer there. There's no disruption whatsoever. I could see if they were really putting a dent in drug use you could make the argument, but it's just getting worse. 99% of the people who sell drugs are desperate themselves, usually addicts who have to support their own drug habits because the cost of drugs is so outrageous (only because of prohibition!). The crime that comes with drugs is ONLY because of the fact that it's illegal. The cost of drugs is so high because of it's illegality that people have no choice but to commit crimes to get them. We should decriminalize all drugs and release the people in prisons it's so wrong. I just did 5 years in the feds for drugs and it was hell. The damage to my soul is indescribable. The hurt it put my family through... there was no point. What's crazy is I hadn't sold drugs in a year and a half when they indited me... it was nothing but punishment. They knew I had stopped selling long ago but wanted my money.

liquid_at

There is literally NOTHING the US or any president could do to "kill crypto" What they can affect is the legal framework in which EXCHANGES can operate WITHIN THE US. So the question is: Do you want Binance and Coinbase to be allowed to do whatever they want with the coins you buy on their platform? Do you think they should be allowed to sell your user data, information about your orders and all that to interested parties? Do you believe that they should be required to act in your interest or are they allowed to optimize their service for their own financial gain, against your interests? Anyone telling you that any US president is "attacking crypto" is shilling for big financial institutions lead by billionaires who want to steal your money and want to weaponize your outrage against you. Any attack on the SEC will lead to Hester Pierce, a spokesperson for the heritage foundation, to become the head of the SEC, executing her declared goal of deregulating all financial institutions to the point where they can do whatever they want with your money. Being against regulation means being for FTX 2.0. Being for SBFs taking over the crypto markets. Scammers scamming without any legal repercussions. That's the world you are buying if you are lobbying for Hester Pierce and her criminal billionaire friends.

JimJava

Do you know how which country has the highest number of hydro power in the world? It's not Texas. China is both a large holder and still runs one of the largest mining ops in the world. Just because a government makes something illegal doesn't mean people stop doing it, especially for $$$, don't be naive. Unlike you I don't shill cryptos for personal gain, I don't want government, WS or finch involved. Me having BTC has NOTHING to do with these people or you. I don't need you, Frump or Gensler's permission to have cryptos. You're taking a short position for cryptos $$$ no hate that's you doing the best for you, but to think Trump is your "man" is just hilarious. Maybe you could have provided information that was credible and persuasive. Texas is great for mining due to lack of regualtion China has the natural resources to support mining ops on an enterprise scale up until mid 2021 due to regulatory reform, yet operations continue in remote places to do this day. A lot of former Chinese ops fled to Khazakstan with CCP backed funding, Canada and Russia is another place where BTC is happening in a large scale. Maybe you should do research on what you are talking about, kid.

200k annually is a lot of money. What do you make? lol this is what I hate about Reddit, always some idiot who wants to debate NOTHING. Yup I’m poor, I only make $150k.

BamBoomWatchaGonnaDo

All I will say is NOTHING moves like BTC… my strategy is heavy BTC — selling off some at every 4-year “top” or what I believe to be the top. I watch a lot of different indicators to tell me when that is likely to be. The proceeds go to real estate or index funds or dividend producing stocks. I re-buy BTC with saved fiat when the fear/greed index is below 20.

Web3 is a scam and has NOTHING to do with Bitcoin. Take your survey somewhere else.

CompetitiveDentist85

Look, I don’t want to risk sounding anti-Bitcoin here, because I’m not. I own a lot of Bitcoin. But! Telling me to look at M2, or national debts, or future money printing, does NOTHING to convince me of Bitcoin specifically. They can quintuple the money supply tomorrow, buy every bond/stock, and sign a quadrillion dollar stimulus bill. I **think** Bitcoin will go up because of it, but I don’t know. Because unless the federal reserve buys it directly, you have no idea how money printing will affect this asset. Speaking of QE, the Fed buys mortgage backed securities directly. Printing money and doing QE have a direct link to property values and an indirect link to the stock market. It’s linked to Bitcoin is unknown. FYI my net worth is about 40% Bitcoin and I don’t plan on selling.

crimeo

> printer from going brrrrrrrr Fractional reserve banking has NOTHING to do with "printer going brrrrrrrr" > the current 90% model couldnt exist as theres no way to just print without a backing. Yes it could, and in fact DOES exist, because commercial banks cannot print money. Again, for the 4th time, fractional reserve banking has NOTHING to do with printing money. I have no idea why you think it does. * 50% reserve works with gold coins (no printing) or bitcoin * 90% reserve works with gold coins or bitcoin * 99% reserve works with gold coins or bitcoin Yes you can have a run on the banks and it's risky, but it's *equally* risky with fiat or gold or bitcoin. > You cant just “make” money when you have to back the money by something physical. I literally just showed you how you can absolutely make money with bitcoin used in fractional reserve banking. Show me where I was wrong. Show the exact bullet point that was wrong.

I read all the comments and the numbers you’re talking is insane. 11 years later… i wouldn’t blame a single creditor for selling even half their stack… these people thought they were getting back NOTHING. For most people.. the hack did them a favour.. they likely would’ve lost what they had via scams, trading, etc. now they’re getting back from a dollar POV, more than they had back in 2013.

Ill_Mousse_4240

Stunning-Claim-7302

The lockdowns were not Trumps fault first of all. Secondly, Biden wants an almost 50% capital gains tax!! Do you commies have any idea what that will do to the economy?? Thirdly, the rich will NEVER pay taxes, no matter what, you might make it slightly harder for them to do business but at the end of the day, we pay and they play and NOTHING will ever change that. The working consumer pays those taxes and we pay way more when capital gains tax is almost 50%... The reality is... making it harder on the rich will only make it much harder for us. Ask yourself this question, how many poor people have ever offered you a job??

Stop trying to get rich quick 🤦‍♂️ Rid yourself of that greedy BS in your mind — buy bitcoin with the intent to hold it for 7yrs and you’ll win so hard everyone will think you’re a genius. If you try and time the bitcoin market to get-rich-quick you’ll end up getting rekt quick. Then in 7yrs when bitcoin is $872k per coin you’ll absolutely hate yourself for fucking up the easiest trade in history — buying a good bit and doing NOTHING for half a decade. Don’t overcomplicate something so simple** **simple ≠ easy**

jaydogg81

Imagine being so delusional that you think that by stating your last reply, people will just take it at face value. You are literally just digging yourself deeper, but carry on with your bad self. I have you plenty of chances to yield, but you think with a little bit of reverse rhetoric, somehow you are proving a point. The only thing you are proving is your ignorance. The current state of centralized banking looks NOTHING LIKE 12th century Italy banking. And the idea that BTC is the FIRST divergence from the current currency based trade is just preposterous. There have been over a dozen calculable divergences from 12th Century Italy banking to now. Hopefully, one day, you will “get it”

i'm sorry, you'll have to explain this to me. you don't work. you don't invent, you don't labour, you do LITERALLY FUCKING NOTHING -- but your 20k was lent to a company that used it to pay people who sweat and stressed and busted their asses to earn a paycheck -- and at the end of the day their work pays off, and their product sells, and they've contributed to the world, and faith in them from others increases that they will continue to do good - so the stock goes up, and your 20k rises to a 40k valuation. you make 20k of capital gains - and half of that is elligible for taxing (10k). depending if you're a low earner or a high one, you're looking to pay between 1-4k in tax. so you're saying you're upset because you turned 20k into 36k by sitting on your fucking ass eating cheetos and watching netflix? is that what you're upset about? i just want to make sure i have it right -- that the great beauty of this capitalist world is that you can Actually be rewarded without MERIT as long as you have capital - and when you're asked to pay a small stipend to support that capitalist structure, you're calling it "straight up theft" and "absolutely criminal."

I believe the way to win with Bitcoin is both simple and difficult. One must practice discipline, make a plan, and stick to it, all while avoiding the urge to act on their baser instincts, i.e., greed, impatience, impulsiveness, compulsiveness, fear, uncertainty, doubt. If you simply buy, hodl, and do NOTHING… you win. It sounds easy enough, but most will fail.

Your friend is interested in Bitcoin BUT thinks it is too late?! What? So ... Your friend is probably just a pessimist and a defeatist ... AND there is NOTHING that you, yourself, can do or say to change their attitude. ... that's it! ... all she wrote. Your friend likes talking to you about Bitcoin because they wish that they had gotten into it when you did. BUT the rub is they didn't have the personal initiative back then and they won't now. You cannot change that. P.S. ... I suppose you can try telling them that Saudi Arabia just quietly ditched the petro-dollar agreement with the U.S. But don't expect any change or initiative from them.

CoolCatforCrypto

Reading these comments we conclude almost NOTHING is bought with btc. Btc is cashed out for biden garbagemoney. Then stuff is bought. Not the same thing at all. Which reinforces the idea that btc must have a stablecoin issued and managed on bitcoin blockchain - not like tether or circle which are independent companies. Or the answers to the OP's legitimate questions will continue to be as ridiculous and puerile as the answers here. Right now btc is a useless fucking joke as a means of exchange. This must change.

Not even a European Union VAT. There is just the Shengen zone that doesn't allow ADDITIONAL import/export taxes. The taxation per country is completely different. So again, embarrasing how little you know. And then you again repeat this "drizzel" about "leftist website" showing you lack any capacity to learn.

Been in the "space" since 2015 🤣 Leverage DIDN'T cause the crash.... the dodgy AF minting mechanism that was designed to maintain the UST peg IS what caused the crash!  NOTHING ELSE!  Go and look how many LUNA got minted into existence during that period!  Then go read the formula used to maintain the algorithmic UST peg.  Then you might start to understand just how wrong your understanding of what happened is!  There were MANY far more intelligent people than me warning about this PRIOR to the crash... I was just someone who heeded what they warned, then went and dug into the formula used for LUNA/UST peg and saw for myself what a clusterfuck it was waiting to be.  Many of those even spoke publically directly to Do Kwon's face! He was made VERY aware of the systemic risk at the core of everything! He KNEW, but discounted it as it fell outside the mean.... Discounted a SYSTEMIC risk! He proceeded KNOWING in the event it was triggered, it would destroy all value in the ecosystem!  And people STILL invested in that shit!  And how has that turned out for everyone involved....  It might pay you in the long run to read a few books about crowd psychology. Just because a large group are in agreement or accepting of something, does not = right/correct. In fact, it can actually in a lot of cases cause weak willed people NOT to assess things themselves properly and they just follow along blindly because that's what "everyone else is doing".

Your_As_Stupid_As_Me

Because the lack of security features. Again, I'm not saying ban it, make it unusable. What I'm saying is GET RID IF WHILE YOU HAVE THE CHANCE. If we have product B ***already being made*** to replace product A ***when it gets destroyed***, why not jump start the removal process of product A instead of waiting till its passed the hand to remove it multiple times over and over? Literally, NOTHING changes for the consumer\user, only the banks obligations. Do you understand that?

Your_As_Stupid_As_Me

You as a consumer\user, have no obligation to fulfill, your daily routine of spending paper does not change. The bank(when it recovers an old bill), should destroy it and reissue a newer one. NOTHING is banned, or useless, it's just the simple concept of rotating stock, and the bank needs to remove old stock before it reaches consumers.

It’s not just about crypto, it’s with regular stocks and options trading. Another reason I stopped sharing my trade earnings with family. They they might ask once but then do NOTHING for themselves

“As long as you measure BTC by USD you are admitting that the USD is the measuring stick and not BTC” No. Your logic is flawed. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH “””ADMITTING””” USD IS THE MEASURING STICK. I had to say that part loud so you would understand. That’s not a concession. That’s not “admitting” anything. That is how changing a currency works. Pretend we have currency A as the lead money and currency B is competing with it. Pretend all products are priced in currency A. The fucking fastest way to see if currency B is gaining value on currency A is simply to compare the price of B to A.

Just like when it went from 30k to 70k It means NOTHING AT ALL

> Also, doesn’t the network theoretically become more secure, stable, and thus useful as more people use it? It is is more secure and stable but it actually becomes less useful. Here is the basic question: have you ever bought anything with Bitcoin? What do you do with it once you have it? I own BTC and I have done NOTHING with it because I can't really. The fees are high and it is slow compared to other crypto. > And shouldn’t we expect innovation (faster rails, easier use) as the number of users grows? Yes we should, however we already know the biggest innovation we need: bigger blocks. Without bigger blocks, the vast majority of the world cannot be their own bank and so cannot be financially self-sovereign. I think this will allow another PoW coin to outcompete Bitcoin. If Fiat collapsed tomorrow, Bitcoin would be very poorly positioned to take advantage. It simply can't run enough transactions at a low enough cost to onboard even a small fraction of users. So my prediction would be that another PoW coin that can would fill the gap and if it had limited supply, would overtake the BTC network extremely rapidly (like within a month or less). Bitcoin can only function to the extent it does because the world runs on fiat. If those financial flows HAD to move to crypto due to a crisis, BTC would not be capable of being the sound money people need.

I’m kinda in the same situation. I have a Trust Wallet. Started DCA’ing in December last year. Slowly but surely, what I can spare monthly, usually $40-$70 per month I buy, and send to my Trust Wallet. I’ve had no problems with this Wallet and I’ve never heard anything bad about it either. But you do your own research. And don’t back-up your Seed Phrase on anything that is connected to the internet. NOTHING. Write down your Seed Phrase on paper, make a few copies and put them somewhere SAFE. Best of Luck!!!

You might have come across the wildly popular but secretly evil Coinbase. They happened to have listed a SHITCOIN (aka a cryptocurrency coin that has NOTHING to do with Bitcoin) called SAT (or SATS, I don't remember). SO... sats, or satoshis are the smallest subunit of Bitcoin. 100,000,000 sats = 1 BTC. It does not go up in value any faster or slower than Bitcoin because it IS bitcoin. Another fun fact, a "coinbase transaction", often called "the coinbase", is the transaction in each block that issues the reward for mining to miners. The company took the name because nothing in a free and open sourced project is patented or licensed and so they have been free to screw over the public by intentionally clouding the meaning of words in order to redirect them and convince them to gamble their life savings away... instead of learning what Bitcoin really is and using it sensibly. /end rant.

I joined a couple months ago, things were going fine they provided knowledge based educational materials paid around 2k. The material covered almost all the exchanges, alt coin knowledge, and breakdown of how it all works. Once I read all the material I scheduled a call on the call the rep ask "Are you ready to make a lot money in cyber currently" I said "yes" then he dropped the bomb saying I needed to get a full membership for over 7k, so I then ask well what do I get for the 2k I have already invested here. Just educational classes, and a weekly news letter that does not tell me any good information on buying cyber coins. I was under the impression they would at least give me some good coins to buy but NOTHING. I just joined this to get key information on which cyber to buy and at what times to buy them thinking they had personal reviewing charts, and getting general information that others can't get. This company is not a direct scam where they take your money and run, it is a bleed scam meaning they give you very little information that does not make you any money. Good group just kind of fake because they say 2k you will get everything on Youtube but in the real world they expect you to pay over 7k--

There's 2 parts to your question. One is the reason why Bitcoin was made in the first place, i.e. benefit of Bitcoin vs fiat, 2nd is about trusting the exchange you buy from. If NOTHING else, the FTX scam and fall should be enough to answer your question. If you own the keys to your wallet (even a software hot wallet), you don't need to trust the exchange actually can cover their debt to you. The exchange is just the on ramp to allow you to buy Bitcoin, but taking it off the exchange forces them to prove that they actually bought it and give it to you to control. Same as withdrawing money from the bank. FTX said they bought Bitcoin with their customers funds and lied. There's no reason to fully trust any other exchange would not do that in the future, regardless of how well regulated and audited they say they are. Kinda the same thing with banks except the government bails them out by printing more cash when they can't pay. FTX was one of the most popular exchanges before being exposed, so while Coinbase or Binance or Kraken might still have good reputations, it's up to their leadership to consistently decide not to just lie about buying Bitcoin. You as a user have no way of knowing that they actually bought it until you withdrawal it to your own wallet.

Yup, if Consensys folds, the whole network will go down, by golly! All those stakers who have ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with Consensys will just pack up and leave town!

They didn’t ask when I was putting it into their bank why now? As the bank was using my money to make more for themselves while I get NOTHING

Spoken like a true non engineer. Or a bad one. Or a product manager lol. NOTHING is trivial to implement especially when it comes to the government.

Everything you said is correct. The only issue I have is the "vibe" of your sentence "Basically if you just use an address to accumulate bitcoin, it’s not vulnerable to quantum computers, until you send bitcoins from it.". Sure, you can't rob the address UNTIL you send bitcoins from it. But if you DID NOT move those coins to a quantum secure wallet NOW you cannot EVER send coins from the address without getting robbed. So sending coins to that wallet you own is as good as burning them. I.E. You haven't been robbed yet, but owning an old wallet, unused, in a post quantum world, is the same as owning NOTHING.

In the same vain, no one talks about the MASSIVE amounts of power consumed by data centers from amazon, google, and microsoft, that suck down 1000x more power that a professional bitcoin mining corp. How do i know this - i work in Enterprise level IT - in those data centers. Let me tell you. Bitcoin mining has NOTHING of google / amazon / microsoft. And those data centers literally run the world. Yet you never hear the public or the banks bitch about it, as its not a threat to the banks financialy. So ya - i call TOTAL BS on the whole “bitcoin is ruining our environement” natitive.

Let me be blunt because apparently, there's some kind of wall in your brain that apparently doesn't let you process information: Everything you have been saying, including this, has been a projection. How on earth can you be making ignorant assumptions about people because they see things differently from you? Easy, because you are brainwashed. You keep making points that literally have NOTHING to do with what's being discussed. You are blatantly avoiding addressing directly the information I provided, and why is that? Because you don't know shit about what you are talking about and instead would rather keep using epithets on me to discredit the information because people like you live with blindfolds and are brazingly ignorant. In conclusion; either refute DIRECTLY everything I said or refrain from making assumptions about me because you are not fooling anyone. You have zero knowledge about this subject, and just like everyone else who addressed me on this thread, resorted to the same BS tactics like labeling me "conspiracy theorist." A label, btw, the very own government created. What would you know about this, tho? I would 100% bet nothing. You probably haven't even read a book in years, yet here you are talking about things like these as if you had the slightest level of knowledge. Let me ask the stupid questions and say: do you have any fucking idea about any of the sources I provided before? Do you know anything about Operation Mockingbird? I'll go out on a limb and say no. If you did, then why the fuck do you keep going around in circles and don't address these things directly? Easy, because you don't know shit. If you don't know anything about something, then refrain from talking about it.
