Dollars? Why you still using dollars? Hey OP, I'll give you 5 sticks off the ground. Beats this guy's dumb offer.
OP read this. Debt does not equal liquidity, but higher debt eventually leads to debasement because it's the easiest (only) way to repay the debt. If you have a debt you can't afford, and you can devalue the amount of it by 8% a year, it gets 8% cheaper for you to manage. This compounds over time. The article above from Lyn dives into the correlation of liquidity and asset prices, spoiler: bitcoin has the best correlation to liquidity. There is no second best. Bitcoin is the safest thing you can own over the long term.
Base, Arbi, OP Tech and TVL
It’s wild OP spent so much time and energy to hate on a coin he’s not interested in, like if I don’t like a coin I don’t care enough to hate on it.
There’s 2 sides to this argument as I see it. Those that made money on Solana and those that call it out, irrespective of gains, as to what it actually is. My comment stands. People made money on Enron. Doesn’t change the fact it was a giant fraud. Both can be correct, but the OP wasn’t starting a discussion on the viability of returns in holding SOL but rather what type of blockchain it is.
He has, but he also made more money than OP's "hurr durr it went up 6x" because Cuban was buying ETH at the time which is up 13.85x since that date.
Even better than that, Cuban was big into ETH at the time which is up 13.85x since that date so OP's point doesn't make sense at all, Cuban got totally "owned" by making double what he would have with BTC.
OP, thank you. I am in the same boat with you. Crypto gave me A LOT of money in 2020 bullrun, but I still think that crypto is an useless funny shit. 🤣
This post is obviously done by an ADA maxi who doesn’t have a clue on how SOL works. Most of those issues can be easily fixed with a simple restart of the network, which can be done at any time… OP is just spreading FUD.
May I add that OP is only focused on the market price of alts because bitcoin is close as hell to ATH.
Nobody is pointing it out because everyone already knows. That is the only reason OP posted it.
Sounds like OP is just looking for a justification to dump all his bags in a bear market 1 year later he’ll be one of those at Buttcoin crying out how crypto is scam because the price mooned and they sold everything at a loss
OP just making themselves feel better since their ETH bag been flat. Hopefully they've been staking.
Because OP like 99% of the rest are really just focusing on the market price instead of looking at the use case and fundamentals ..
I do to an extent, however this post mentioned nothing about bitcoin. Furthermore it’s referencing political/Israeli history which really has nothing to do with bitcoin. It’s just anti Israel propaganda which has nothing to do with this sub. I’m not saying I disagree or agree with the OP, but it just doesn’t belong here.
It's because it isn't necessary. Why else would OP have posted this newspaper article? That's the entire point.
Oh wow that's crazy... It's pretty depressing knowing nothing has truly changed like OP said
As someone who been in this since 2017. We are we ? Every country that has a vote, chose the pro crypto candidate, so far in 2024. 7 years ago this was unheard of and laughable, now a main topic globally. We see countries testing crypto non stop for faster cheaper transactions. I agree with a lot of what the OP says, but that is only focusing on certain stuff. IMO, even after 7 years, this is still a new emerging market of exciting tech that most of the world has no idea about. Let's not forget, cash has it's troubles, stock manipulation, money laundering etc....it's all a choice and having a plan is more important than anything else. Good luck the rest of the way.
Lmao it wasn’t when I posted this fool. And OP should have put it in the post instead of just some bull shit graphic.
People attach narratives based on price performance, not the other way around. Don't try to correct people like OP, we need those people for exit liquidity later.
Right? Cringe OP for trying to find comedy from someone's crypto take that happened in the previous Decade How low can you get, might as well tickle yourself
This image and title is good enough evidence. Thanks OP.
If you make a claim, OP, provide evidence. Provide a link.
And there's no quantity mentioned by OP. What if it's 1 million dollars worth of water vs 1 dollar worth of diamonds?
what wallets OP ? Do you have the list ?
Very suspicious post. OP's account history gives me the feeling this might be a bot or baiting a scam.
It's kind of cool. But OP obviously advertising and talking to himself on the different accounts. Bad. Bad OP!
There's good advice scattered through this thread but you said it... they aren't married yet. Her dragging him already for this would be an automatic dealbreaker for me. Should he educate properly, sure, but if she's not willing to hear it(like so many we see)... then it's dead in the water. Extra: If this relationship ends and in 5 or 6 years OP's gf sees the price being 10 times what it is right now; It's going to be fun seeing a follow-up post from OP when the ex reaches back out to him.
Then it's his job to educate her properly. "Its my money wahhhh" is retarded patriarchal nonsense. I have almost all of my disposable income in BTC, and even I'd be questioning my choices if I were OP. Relationships are a *partnership*. It's not "your" money anymore. It's your family's.
https://i.redd.it/0nedbgg6smsd1.gif Thanks to the magic of blockchain public ledger technology, we can all rest easy knowing OP got his USDC about 3 hours after he made this post and promptly swapped it all to SOL, even though he's "trying to sell his crypto right now."
As the original OP. There are some that offer this set up currently but they either want you to give up your keys or the interest rate is too high. NEXO is one of them. But I believe in several more years there will be more options competing for our business, and will be safer to use.
Not OP. Call me a traitor, but after hodling for over 10 years I sold some BTC near last years top and bought bonds. Boring bonds. I can now comfortably live off the interest payments. I am still a firm believer in BTC but having a regular fixed income is nice to have, too.
No it's not, not on OP's pic. That's clearly AI trying to replicate a painting. Just zoom on and compare.
Okay the OG os really neat, thanks for making me discover an artist but do we agree that OP's pic has nothing tondo in terms of rendering with what you just linked? It's clearly AI feeding off of this art.
I didn't say it didn't. You seem to be arguing a point for the sake of it. OP is asking about investing into it. You're giving an unrealistic take on it because you're passionate about it. The best investment portfolios are spread across High and Low risk investments.
OP hard at work making those rubles.
ZK-Proof would be the best idea here, xpubs would be terrible due to the privacy implications of it. Now the problem is that we can't have a ZK-Proof verifier on Bitcoin unless we activate OP\_CAT, now that wouldn't be enough, proof of reserves isn't proof of liabilities which is equally important, so don't expect this to be resolved anytime soon. Maybe with BitVM or BitVMX, which are the closests things we have to ZK-Proof right now, but those projects are not complete yet.
Yeah sounds a lot more theoretical than practical. So a criminal would need: shell companies, bank accounts for shell companies, criminal accountants, and criminal lawyers. Yeah that sure is easier than just making a crypto transfer with no KYC, no bank account, no criminal accountants or criminal lawyers lol. If you don’t have a real answer then don’t hypothesize please. My question was to OP & the answer is not “SWIFT… via illegally bypassing KYC & numerous intermediaries & corrupt co-conspirators” It’s literally 10x easier to just transfer crypto to a broker and receive cash in exchange. You larp too much.
OP is active in r/shortguys and r/peakyblinders , he's an insecure incel
As OP said, "most \[\] frauds and scams will take place through shell companies." I would extend that to also include most money laundering and financial crimes. Those companies will have bank accounts in which the funds flow, and after one intermediary/correspondent bank transfer, can effectively become untrackable. This isn't about an individual buying drugs which in the grand scheme is peanuts compared to the volume of funds moving around for ciriminal and quasi-criminal organisations.
Preserving your savings is one of the main points of Bitcoin. Why you gotta be negative when people are happy its workinhg as intended? OP stuck through a bear market and came out the other end. That is praise worthy imo when you have lots of people throwing shade because they don't understand it. The class of 2020 who stuck through FTX fucking it all up should be saluted.
OP studied and had conviction for an asset they understood, and you're comparing it to a lottery win becuase it worked out for them? Sounds like someone has been watching from the sidelines and is just jelly.
Above and beyond. OP isn't living right.
Nice that you did the research but OP posted 9 hours ago. So OPs transaction is probably good now.
OP means original post, so still applies.
A. Welcome to r/bitcoin - Tonnes of people share their success stories. B. A lottery win is down to pure luck; Recognizing the value in Bitcoin earlier and holding it with conviction despite others' opinions means, assuming it's true, they've actually made a wise investment decision. Based on 'luck alone' it sounds like OP had a pretty unfortunate life, but took actions to fix their situation, and you're calling them a lottery winner because you're definitely not regarded.
I thought this post was gonna explain to us all the current utility of Moons along with the future potential. Especially since OP went on the wiki and it's already explained on there, along with the Cointest going in more details with lists of utility, not to mention the Moon sub talking about it every week and a recent post about it. But instead OP wrote all that just to tell us he doesn't actually know anything. Are we not even trying to write informative posts anymore? Have we just moved Q&A from the daily and using them as posts?
I'd like to see the details on this, but if it is what you say, it may or may not be in the spirit of what OP asked about. When there are middlemen in a transaction, I'm not sure I'm terribly interested in what settlement layer they use when I play no role in its use whatsoever.
Not OP, but I would say it's pretty close to inevitable. But not truly inevitable. My personal reasoning is based on a strong understanding of how Bitcoin fundamentally works, with some knowledge of basic economics. I have had many chats with various AIs to check my biases as much as possible. I've used different models, and opposite prompts (why is Bitcoin destined to succeed/fail) with various wording. Without fail, the arguments made in favor of bitcoin's success are strong with weak counterpoints, and likewise the opposite way you get weak arguments about how Bitcoin will fail with strong counterpoints. Combine that with basic knowledge of game theory, you get the inevitable rise of Bitcoin. tl;dr - Because Bitcoin is the only thing in the world that can solve/address the economic shitstorm we keep kicking down the road. We literally know of no better options.
Out of interest OP, what does that same chart look like right now?
Cannot compare to other shit coins, eth has support from other projects, OP/ARB/EIGEN etc.. It will stay.
Oh man, no question. Still more valuable info than OP ever provided in this post.
Yes. But to see if my transaction was confirmed - Electrum would need to connect to some node. That would require the internet right? I guess that's a problem if your country does not allow any software to connect to any IP and bans VPN. That's what OP is asking.
Are they so strong like OP is saying tho? If btc loses its 60k support you can expect a bloodbath on every alt.
I hope the OP sees where this is going....
OP didn't add - Insufficient liquidity. - Probably waiting to get listed on exchange?
Why am I getting downvoted. I just told OP to post their wallet address. There are more wallet combinations than atoms in the universe. It is literally impossible to accidentally send btc to an active wallet. Unless there are thieves intentionally transferring btc to make random people’s wallets dirty 🤷.
OP is asking for a legally accepted document for proving an asset. Realtors and banks will not care about a signed message, they won't even know what it is. If you want an asset that you can prove to the traditional finance world, its going to have to be held in an ETF. DeFi does not work for this, at least not yet.
OP is probably a scammer of some sort anyway. He'll offer someone "once in a lifetime opportunity" you know the rest.
Dear OP, please sell, we want UPtober.
OP is doing specific prediction "price will go down". Guy above is saying "No one knows". How is that proving OPs point?
You just made me realise that OP typo...
OP is giving shitty answers about taxes and trying to explain a cryptocurrency. So many typos. I’m glad that wasn’t my first introduction to crypto.
This is NOT what OP is asking about. OP's wallet is behind on the blockchain and needs to sync up with the network.
OP in that thread seems like a scammer trying to get people to DM him on the side.
I bought Monero on Kraken and after that I sent it straight to my own wallet. I got swiftly banned with the same message as OP. When I try to make a new account it gets insta banned when I perform a transaction.
OP where are you? maybe the FBI got him? ahhahahaha
Just a note, OP. It is illegal to snap boomer's screenshots unless you're at least 60 years old.
OP is trying to be funny here. Well... he tried
FBI right now visiting OP thanks to Reddit IP location data information. https://i.redd.it/2y9b9ywpd4sd1.gif
Yes, this is exactly what OP is saying with this post
Where are we getting the info that OP has a bad phone?
19x in any investment is certainly a great outcome. But at the same time OP's entire post has been made to prove that this is still a BAD idea, and to demonstrate why not to do it. Dunno why you're jumping on him when you're also agreeing with his point.
That's what I think of when I consider taking profits, I've got a long ways to go before I'd do that but if it goes up enough I'll sell about 10 percent at a time but try to never sell more than about a third of my initial Bitcoin. OPs example seems crazy to me to sell half just because it doubled, that sounds like something you'd do if you don't really think Bitcoin will be around long term. I assume OP was just trying to make a point so made it more extreme, but that doesn't convince me it's a bad idea to take any profits.
Do you know the actual history of where Ethereum came from? Vitalik was an early Bitcoiner and worked for Bitcoin magazine. At the time the Bitcoin community was much more open to innovation, with things like 'coloured coins' (kinda like ordinals... sort of) and other experiments being tested to add functionality to Bitcoin. Vitalik's big idea was that rather than adding functions for creating tokens or sending text or whatever in a piecemeal fashion, why not give the chain the ability to run a turing complete state machine - i.e fully programable smart contracts. This would mean you wouldn't have to keep doing updates to Bitcoin every time someone thought of a new idea to run on top of it, which always causes controversy, as we can even see today with the attempts to get OP-CAT added. So that's what Vitalik worked on and discussed with the community. Lots of people could see what a good idea this would be, but unfortunately it just wasn't possible to implement on the existing Bitcoin chain. The other big crypto that existed at the time was Ripple/XRP, so next Vitalik tried to propose the idea there. I'm not so sure on the details of why it didn't get very far because their 'community' and governance was (and is) much less open and public. Anyway, it was only after trying to get the idea of full programability into existing chains and meeting barriers that he decided to set up a new project, and so began the founding of Ethereum. I wanted to write all this out, because it seems like you believe 'the premine' and development of Ethereum was some moneygrabbing scam, but the truth is all the initial efforts were not to have a new chain or a new token at all. Over a hundred people worked on Ethereum in some way or another before it launched, and the premine was the founders way of making sure everyone got paid. Vitalik did take the biggest share, but his pay was only worth around $260,000, hardly outrageous in terms of tech startups.
I liked this shitpost until the POTUS stuff. OP could be POTUS and it wouldn’t affect bitcoin. Bitcoin doesn’t give a fuck about POTUS. Vote OP for POTUS.
They are corrupt politicians who take money from crypto lobbyists and defend them like they did FTX when they took their money. They don't have the interests of the American people, of innovation or technology. They use talking points of the crypto "industry." You are also using talking points with this whole Operation Choke Point conspiracy theory in the OP. The history behind this whole Operation Choke Point conspiracy theory is also another corrupt politician Barney Frank. Barney Frank was a congressman and the co-sponsor of the Dodd-Frank bill that put tighter regulatory control to prevent the collapse of banks like in 2007/08 crisis. He switched sides in 2015 and joined Signature Bank. Ole Barney Frank then argued that the Dodd-Frank bill's $50 Billion threshold for tighter regulatory oversight was "arbitary", "a mistake", and "too low a number" and started lobbying for deregulation of the very bill he himself sponsored. In 2018, deregulation was passed that raised regulatory "oversight to $250 billion in assets from the current $50 billion." In the next couple of years, Signature and SilverGate assets ballooned to well over $100 Billion just from toxic crypto businesses. Ole Barney Frank earned more than $2.4 million in compensation from Silvergate. https://www.wsj.com/articles/barney-frank-pushed-to-ease-financial-regulations-after-joining-signature-bank-board-e5c8819c https://www.wsj.com/articles/bank-deregulation-bill-clears-congress-1527025690?mod=article_inline With de-regulation, these banks had totally concentrated risk in the crypto industry and very little cash at hand and failed or on the verge of failing and were shutdown. Crypto bors turned this into some operation choke point conspiracy theory when it was a result of de-regulation and another corrupt politician CA$SHING in with banks to kill his own legislation that was intended to protect the American people.
Well I think what is the issue now is that the current decimal system of most world currencies works on 2 decimal points, whereas Bitcoin has 8. So I understand the problem OP is trying to solve here. At one point in time, the Indians had names for very large and very small numbers - so models for this have been done before! It's a mental shift which we may not appreciate now because we understand monetary numbers in one way but it could be more useful to future generations who may only ever know digital monetary systems.
Not sure why you’re bothering with OP, he isn’t buying one, he’s just pretending.
Not sure why you’re bothering with OP, he isn’t buying one, he’s just pretending.
Yes you are right. But your statement indicates they purchaswd all those coins for themselves. Did I miss this or may OP draw false conclusions from your statement?
Proud of you OP! Follow Crypto Crew University on YouTube (one of the only honest, logical Bitcoin analysis channels) and you won’t feel too bad about your decision. Sure, there may be 1 last push to $80k, but according to the facts in the charts, this Bullrun is nearing its end… while the herd mentality believes that it will continue on for many more months. I’m pro-Bitcoin long term, and it WILL pass $100k someday… but in the next cycle 4 years from now after it has a massive crash first. Many people will be caught off-guard (as usual).
People who were like OP on this sub between 2014 - 2020 are real quiet now lol.
Sure, all of those metrics are available: - 2.3m organic traffic for the crypto.com website (source https://ahrefs.com/traffic-checker/?input=crypto.com&mode=subdomains) - 5,896 active Cronos chain addresses as of Sept 28 (admittedly low but OP was asking about usage of the app not the Cronos chain, source https://cronoscan.com/chart/active-address) - $ 4.20B in trading volume over the last 24 hours (source https://coincodex.com/exchange/crypto.com)
