So what does any of that have to do with what I quoted? You can have your opinion about bitcoin but saying "OH YOU THINK PEOPLE LOSING MONEY MAKES THE PRICE INCREASE!!!" is a load of horse shit and you know it is, you just wanted to inject your opinion into a discussion where it was irrelevant. It's either gonna play out or it isn't, I'm baffled at people like you...do you think you're saving people from something?

Bitcoin atm is nothing more than a wash job. Wash wash wash... pfft absolutely pathetic in its current state... Nothing like it was meant to be from the very beginning. Traditional buy low sell high... I mean seriously. Talk about a hijacked project. The energy issues still to this day not even close to the original vision. The supposed reach of the project not even close, even with all this time... Bitcoin is nothing more than slightly smarter money. Same trappings as traditional money in the end, in its current state. Not to mention bitcoin at the current level is still alphaware barely beta much less release. This project was supposed to empower the entire world, ALL PEOPLE. It was to raise all of the poor from their current state to middle class the very least. This project was never intended to make a few worthless people rich... Who cares about hero worship in our modern age? Bitcoin was meant to absolutely crush the hamster wheel of work. That endless grind, barely any real quality free time, never enough money, month to month, if so much as one major electronic breaks absolute panic attack of how to replace it... And the list goes on for many who suffer these. I'd dare say Nakamoto is about to return and fork this entire project and rock the entire industry to its utter core. Simply because he can!

We’re not talking about the law or platform rules here. You’re defending him outside of that because as far as I’ve seen on this thread literally no one has talked about banning his Twitter or going after him via law for making fun of dead people. We’re literally pointing out how much of an asshole he is. And how no amount of words can be said to him, to have him being able to defend himself by MAKING FUN OF DEAD PEOPLE. It would be like you defending a serial killer making fun of his or her victims… for some reason? If you’re seriously defending him you need to go see a clinician about psycho or socio pathing tendencies. I’m not joking. Something’s not ticking right with you.

>The fund was announced last week to help mitigate the fallout stemming from FTX's collapse. It's expected to last for around six months and has already received over 150 applications. Binance has stressed that it's not an investment fund. Excuse me? Why would someone think it's an investment fund? THIS IS THE FUND TO BAILOUT PEOPLE IF SOMETHING LIKE FTX HAPPENS TO BINANCE. That means, all the others are donating to this fund, right? Why would it be an investment fund then?

"I don't understand crypto and don't want to" Dafuck are you doing complaining here about the exact same thing you are doing? PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND CRYPTO AND THEY DON'T WANT TO.

What p!sses me off is he ONLY GOT IN THIS POSITION through connections to the elite and the regulators like Gary Gensler that they control. Meanwhile they will market this as a bitcoin failure for years. It's very probably that it was done on purpose. NEVER let Gary Gensler off the hook for this. NEVER! I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this downfall started when they trotted out Warren Buffet and Charlie Munger to tell everyone how bitcoin wasn't a good investment and to get out. Sure, it's easy to do things like that when you're in on the game and the whole point is to crash the market. That's the kind of thing you do when you OWN banks and CREATE dollars. I SEETHINGLY HATE THESE PEOPLE. Buffet and Munger are nothing more than criminals with great marketing. I don't care how many commissioned books he has written about himself telling us he's some friendly grandpa...yeah. Same goes for all the rest I mentioned. If you can't see the connections I don't know what to tell you. Go take up basket weaving.

I understand, but it doesn’t “make the ecosystem corrupt”. There have been thousands more scams, frauds, rugpulls, madoffs done in US dollars than in crypto. Does that make the entire fiat system “corrupt” in the same sense as the author uses the word to describe the crypto ecosystem? You say ‘crypto can certainly have I’ll intentions from the start’ but I disagree, because crypto doesn’t have feelings. PEOPLE have I’ll intent, crypto should be bought from exchanges, then immediately self-custodied. You’re mincing terms

> WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. "Line Goes Up" is an infamous video about NFTs, cryptocurrency, etc. IMO the most interesting part was the mentality of crypto believers. The crypto space uses cult-like techniques and some people fall for them. Staying away from Robin Hood is an admission that exchanges can't be trusted. Most crypto believers don't seem to believe in "not your keys, not your coins" (because that's admitting a problem with cryptocurrency) so *of course* it's totally fine to trust Robin Hood.

> How is this up and running? consesus! We decided this is needed, they are the miners of society and we support it, with funds and people and so on. And I'm telling you the consensus of the PEOPLE is that they want a centralized system to help them out. Like the government, the definition of centralization. You don't seem to understand the whole point is that the vast majority people don't want the same thing that you want. > The fact that things are limited to what they are now is also a decision reached by? You guessed it, consensus. No, that's a limitation of the technology. Consensus isn't magically going to make an append-only ledger suddenly mutable, no more than a consensus is going to make a time machine possible. What the consensus of the PEOPLE is actually going to do, is to decide that your imaginary tool is worthless and stick with convenient tools provided by middle men. > As for the hacking and funds draining you can't have your cake and eat it too. You want your funds to be yours? then take care of them. Is this supposed to be an argument for why people would want to use your system? The vast majority of people have no interest in "fund being yours", they care about convenience in their lives. That's the whole fucking point. > This is no different than being robbed on the street at gunpoint. And if you ask an average person if they prefer being robbed on the street at gunpoint or the government adding more laws and officers and rules to prevent the robberies, what do you think their answer is gonna be? Like, what are you even arguing? That people are just going to accept crime and shrug about it? There's a fucking reason why crime and safety is a major topic in every election, and it's because people do care about it. And those same people aren't gonna to increase their chance of losing all their money just for some ephemeral notion of "ownership".

Okay. The logical conclusion to this argument is that until Bitcoin is the ONLY commodity/currency used in trading for goods and services, it will be contrasted and compared to and with Fiat currency. You lose at least twice here. You lose your Fiat buying BTC and you lose in BTC because it is continually falling in value to its previous consensus of what it WAS worth yesterday. All this is of course assuming that BTC never regains its footing. For example, your 1 BTC yesterday could have bought you meals for a year. Today's 1 BTC will get you meals for a week. You have lost significant and real value to whatever market forces are at play because PEOPLE no longer consider it as valuable as it once was. Your 1 BTC = 1 BTC is right, but it will not get you what it once could. ANYTHING that you use (stones, pebbles, USD cloth dollar bills) that doesn't buy what it could buy yesterday is taking a loss. This IS a loss in my book. And is how 99.999% of people see it.

the best thing you can do is manually market order as soon as you see the dump incoming or straight up stay away from volatile events. If you want to bet on CPI or similar events you almost have to accept that the volatility makes it impossible to use stop loss orders or general security at all. Think about how that’s supposed to work if multiple people do that. If you go long at 1300$ and a stop loss at 1200$ and a TON OF PEOPLE do exactly the same - who do they sell to if nobody buys at 1200$? They can’t. So it goes to the next raider 1199,1198,1197…. Until they are filled.

EpicHasAIDS

I would define "better" as someone who doesn't use terms like "deception, lies and abuse of power" without specific examples. We know why you won't use specific examples, because there aren't any. Point out something he does that raises to the level of a crime. You're probably one of the people who have never lived in the "accredited investor" ecosystem either as an investor or someone working in it. **As much as I think the accredited investor rules are out dated, here's a simple fact.** Most, if not all, of quality accredited issuers do not want "non accredited" business because they're poor, dumb and ask too many questions. Non accredited investors are a waste of time and more trouble than they're worth in that world. Go buy a fucking ETF or a mutual fund. Do you think Carlyle or Neuberger Berman will offer their funds to small investors if the law changes? No. Because it isn't worth their fucking time. So the point is, regardless of accredited investor laws, the BEST INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN THE USA don't want non accredited investor money. Furthermore, many if not most accredited investments are ILLIQUID which doesn't work for most low level investors. Again, a convenient fact that people who don't know what the fuck they are talking about don't mention. TLDR : If accredited investor rules are eliminated tomorrow not much changes because the actual worthy issuers are over subscribed anyways FROM RICH PEOPLE. Minimums will still be out of reach.

Sounds familiar in 2022?

Wow it's crazy right all you have to do these days to have your high profile business arrangements fall through is go on TV spouting the most played out anti-Semitic clichés, and then threaten JEWISH PEOPLE on Twitter, sheesh, you can't say anything these days, it's 1984 gone mad. Buddy, I wouldn't want anyone spouting that crap anywhere near my affairs. That shit is a risk to any business, small or large. A liability, in more ways than one. If you think this is about anything now than profitability, you are clearly quite far gone down the rabbit hole yourself.

sumwhatkiller

Exactly. Even if we saw fractional reserve banking in the private sector, it would more than likely lead to the failure of the bank(s) that partook in such activity. In a nation that practices Austrian economics, this type of bank would go bust and would NOT receive taxpayer funded bailouts like we see in every major collapse. More importantly, we would see a nation of informed citizens making safe choices about who they bank with, and how open their books are to the public to ensure the safety of their deposits. Nobody gives a shit about what bank their money is in today they just want the most services for the lowest monthly fee - nobody questions their portfolios or insurance because they are ALL insured by WE THE PEOPLE. The banks are only 'too big to fail' because we have allowed it to be this way, to our very detriment.

>what we want a governance structure that is truly democratic by ensuring decentralization in every aspect of its being. In other words, we don't necessarily want there to be no governance structure at all (a belief followed by objectivists in the style of Ayn Rand); we want a structure that, unlike America, is actually "of the people, by the people, and for the people", and we use decentralization as a means to that end. The US doesn't follow those principles itself anymore This is what got me excited about crypto. As a bleeding heart liberal! I wouldn't ascribe to materially-egalitarian socialism, for reasons you already stated, but some kind of democracy that truly brings power to the PEOPLE, not corporations, banks, religions, or any small group of rich people. Crypto seems like a logical next evolution of currencies, and the potential is there to actually improve people's lives if we can keep it decentralized and out of the control of the rich AND the Government. I'm FOR regulation, and yes crypto needs some to protect people from themselves if we ever want mass adoption(people are stupid). As long as they don't overdo it and keep it decentralized and controlled by no one entity including the Government. As for Buttcoiners? I dunno, those people are close-minded, in their echo chamber of "I don't understand this thing and people I don't like are for it so I'm against it!" Same people who are like "NFTs are the devil" are also like "Ooh Reddit gave me a free avatar, AND I could sell it? Wow that's cool!"

Right ?! So essentially OP saying if all they had to do was open a FREE wallet to receive FREE currency from strangers anywhere in the world, who support their cause, and want to help, they wouldn't also do this themselves ? And their excuse sounds like because they would only receive 100% of the donation, they don't think it's beneficial to have it /s 🙄Remember your not having to pay NO extra feeS whatsoever !! Freeee to just sit there and collect money. Who cares if it's only 0.01% of people donating with crypto?? Would you rather have 100% of everything or 0% of nothing because you would rather cancel the ability to donate using crypto which is still free whether you have it or not, but have nooooo problem PAYING Mastercard and visa to use their services and get a percentage taken off of every donation because well -you gotta pay your dues 🤣🤣.

Dear lord this post is regarded. If you could invest in a rental apartment by buying shares of it on a brokerage guess what? You’ve just described a REIT which is a security and billions of dollars of REITs are traded every day and REGULATED BY THE SEC. The fuck is up with this sub? Obviously if you go and buy your own personal home and rent it out you’ve just started a small business because you’re not depending on the work of OTHER PEOPLE for your profits, you’re the one doing the renovating and finding a tenant and fixing the toilet. The whole thing that makes it a security is that other people are doing the work of actually building the business and you’re benefitting by just buying that asset.

ArjanaEU

I mean they can "claim" to have juristicion, however they will never ever actually have it untill they seize a seizable portion of the eth that's staking. This is the end game of crypto people. They will have to participate to have any controll over it. And that has always been the freaking point. But they can't be the only ones that want controll. So the fight for controll will have to be fought with wallets. I'd say: Keep your ETH, the gouvernment is comming for it and will try to buy you out. Make them bleed and beg, make them bow, WE ARE THE PEOPLE, WE HAVE THE POWER.

I disagree mainly about definitions... Money is tech plus the dominant network of PEOPLE. BITCOIN has perfect monerary technical properties, but the network of people is too small at this stage to consider that it has fully monetised.

No matter which side of the argument you're on, crypto could allow the PEOPLE the power to come out on top. I'm sure most people don't want to be in a war, and hate that politics is ruining their country, their lives, and their families. Crypto at least gives the chance to maintain something of value should their country come crashing down.

agree to disagree. the conversational path this is headed is one where you exclaim that liberal voters are okay with locking themselves up for the good of the state and that they're all mindless sheep while you and your coolboi friends are the real champions of freedom. so i'll just cut you off and say you and i see the world very differently - but at least we can both agree that it would be best if bitcoin use could scale up so that it underlied a majority of major financial transactions, thus making it useful to ALL PEOPLE (bitcoin is the people's currency after all) and also making you and i a little bit wealthier than we currently are.

fantasticferns

I already stated my point. > But that doesn't mean it isn't impactful. Most miners don't want to break the law for their business. Mining would be dramatically reduced in scope in the US and would force mining to other jurisdictions. You don't think legislation banning Bitcoin has a chilling effect on the Bitcoin economy in the US? And are you not aware that the majority of Bitcoin mining takes place in the US (over 35%)? Are you honestly, seriously contending that this doesn't matter *at all*? I've already conceded that the PROTOCOL doesn't care, but that doesn't mean that PEOPLE don't care. Do you see the difference? Just because one aspect of the network isn't materially affected doesn't mean this will have no effect. It's potentially detrimental to a ton of people's livelihood and for Bitcoin adoption in general for no good reason.

It's better when people trust it. There are many better more efficient networks than bitcoin. If it matter so much how many tps were possible then why is bitcoin still king? Because........wait for it......PEOPLE TRUST THE NETWORK.

>China is still the second largest Bitcoin mining country China is not mining bitcoin. Some PEOPLE in china are.

Yes, if we stopped all the crypto mining in California, the state would magically no longer need the rolling blackouts anymore. Curse is broken. CURSE IS BROKEN, PEOPLE! Oh wait, no. Turns out 60% of BTC is mined with renewable energy and the rest makes up a tiny fraction of energy usage. But please continue the fat cat traditional finance banker fueled campaign against crypto.

The MOST VALUABLE asset that the very wealthy rich invest in or store their money into is PEOPLE. Corporation, Cash, Properties, and even Bitcoin are useless without the PEOPLE. This is why many failed, because they are blinded! If you tried to destroyed the PEOPLE, you later find out that you were destroying yourself! It was YOU all along. LOL

getlucky7777777

Here come the haters. They would rather let the US government ban Bitcoin than even for once praise someone(that they hate their politics) for owning Bitcoin. THE \*clap\* MORE \*clap\* PEOPLE \*clap\* THAT \*clap\* OWN \*clap\* BITCOIN \*clap\* THE \*clap\* BETTER ​ Get over yourselves.

Can we get a country that tries to be anti cryptocurrency One that doesn’t attract gen z cryptobro idiots and instead uses resources to ACTUALLY SERVE BETTER FOR ITS FUCKING PEOPLE

Again, DO NOT BROADCAST HOW MUCH MONEY YOU HAVE. STOP TELLING PEOPLE YOU HAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND YOU ARE GOING TO BUY CRYPTO!. It's like EVERY DAMN DAY I'm cautioning people from doing this. IT MAKES YOU A TARGET! <sigh>

StudioHuman1102

Just had a full sub laugh at me because i said that 40% of all dollars were printed in the last 4 years. Then they proceeded to ask me "what is the petro dollar"... We're fucked, boys. The average citizen is an idiot. To boot, the lady ask me "well if the dollar becomes weak, then why cant we use the euro?" LMAO... YOU CANT FUCKING HELP THESE PEOPLE.

This! They'll just say "THERE ARE SOOOO MANY POOER PEOPLE, WE HAVE NO ENERGY TO SPARE UNTIL EVERYONE IS OKAY" Works every time.

Keep in mind that six months ago Voyager would have made this list. Use exchanges to buy coins then move em to your own wallet. WHY IS THIS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO GRASP? Every exchange is safe, until it's not, and guess what, you won't be the first to know it. You'll get the email saying withdrawal is suspended and we are super sorry. Voyager literally sent interest payments/rewards on the same day they said accounts were frozen .....and they were considered "reputable and safe."

Note that he don't wish people had warned him... He wish SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE PEOPLE had warned him. &#x200B; Looks like someone warned him so he got what he deserve.

BortlesChortles

Lol it drops 2% and they start acting like they won the lottery. Imagine being happy about OTHER PEOPLE losing money.

SolarPanelDude

Yeah it's true But you know what is equally disturbing as inflation is the fact that PEOPLE GO TO TIK TOK FOR FINANCIAL ADVICE STOP.

BashCo

It's easy to blame other people for your reckless decisions, but ultimately you are responsible for your own actions. The fact is you made a series of incredibly stupid choices, got burned, are now trying to blame other people for those choices, AND STILL ASKING FOR ADVICE FROM THE VERY PEOPLE YOU'RE BLAMING IN HOPES THEY WILL VALIDATE YET ANOTHER INCREDIBLY STUPID CHOICE. Honestly, the best thing you can probab
