Im yet to see convincing arguments that I should hold more than few indeces, so no, not outperforming nor underperforming the market.

LOL, we got ourselves an EMH proponent in this topic. Taking part in the passive investing bubble, a true herd follower.

Too afraid to short BTC. All talk, no action.

Sad and disappointing at the same time.

Bitcoin dudes seem a lot more hostile than they were a few years ago.

Lol, why would you specify third world men:

Considering that per capita gold consumption is extremely low in the 3rd world generally (and quite low in India specifically) I'm not buying your excuse that you just wanted to specify that gold is "huge in the 3rd world".

So weird how any time you try to use "Facts" to defend your racism you end up lying more. You should work on that.

By the way, you have a loooong history of posting extremely racist ideology and trying to pass it off as "facts." Like your "fact" that foreigners and immigrants are responsible for the spread of covid.

You are an unapologetic racist who just can't help himself even in a bitcoin thread, and when you get called out for it you devolve into making **** up and throwing out personal attacks. Sorry for the derail guys, just tiring to see Tooth bring his racist ideologies into almost every thread

What the hell is wrong with you? Anyone who's not a clown gets their facts straight before calling someone out as aggressively as you are. Fact: India is one of the largest jewelry markets in the world, it's a huge part of their culture:

Gold has a large place in Indian culture (despite them being poor). They're nearly 1/3 of global consumption despite having a small fraction of global wealth. Gold is revered in poor cultures from India to rural China to Indonesia. In fact both the top two and 8 of the top 10 gold buyers are second and third world countries. The second and third world buys up most of each year's mined gold.

If Europeans had an ingrained culture of buying up gold to woo women then I would have listed one of gold's uses as "helping ugly European men to get laid". But that doesn't happen any more. I specifically listed "third world" because any Westerner who's ignorant of other cultures (like you are, comically so) would have balked at the notion that gold had utility as a dating and marriage aid for undesirable men - it doesn't in Western cultures but it does in a lot of third world cultures.
Except there's nothing racist here. The only thing you've done here and other times is expose what an ignorant redneck you are. Who doesn't know that Indians/much of the third world are huge users of gold and that it's a big part of their culture with a lot utility for ugly men? And if you're that comically ignorant/so racist that you don't know the first thing about other cultures as you seem to be, who doesn't at least google to get their facts straight before attacking someone?

And by the way, calling someone a racist is a huge personal attack. You're the scum that aggressively started all this. Now you're complaining about personal attacks (and correct ones) you're getting back. Have some self awareness, Jesus. But I guess if you weren't an idiot you wouldn't have started this stupid derail in the first place.

I like how we went from the subject of gold:

to you ranting about gems and jewelry in India to try and defend yourself XD

Good God. Again, you're a total ignoramus (most people who hair-trigger yell RACIST as you do are redneck-level losers). Let me educate you. From the World Gold Council:

Let me know when you concede you're comically wrong on your ignorant claims:
It's just game set and match that you're wrong on the facts here.

How much a racist, ignorant piece of trash do you have to be to know so little about other cultures that you have it 180 degrees wrong even after someone tells you how it is? Just amazing stuff. Maybe instead of yelling "RACISM" on the internet like some deranged loser, be less of a racist shut-in yourself and go out and meet and make friends with some Indian people so you at least wtf you're talking about next time. Like I have and do. You've demonstrated from your posting you know next to nothing about other cultures.

I feel like you are smart enough to know what "per capita" means, but if you need me to define it I can do so. You could also google "definition per capita"

TS: I'm going to say something provocative which will get called out and then I can logic smash them and flex

Tgig: Calls out

TS: Loses because he misses per capita

I lol'd.

I would pay money to watch TS say the sentence "It's helped a lot of ugly third world men to breed" to a group of his third world friends. It's pretty easy to say on the internet.

Even per capita India is one of the biggest gold buying populations in the world. They have 29% of global jewlery purchases and 17% of the world's population (many of those under 18, who obviously don't/can't buy gold to breed). This massive buying is despite them being a very poor country. Gold is a huge thing in India, and you can see as I quoted, has large amounts of utility for them (the original argument), from religion to weddings to gifts to value store. tgiggity is just wrong on everything he posts and he knows it (he's been owned) which is why he clings to his final lie. That you believe him isn't surprising.

arjun13, are you another racist shut in? People in the third world would agree with me and laugh (that gold helps ugly men to breed). WTF is wrong you both? Get out and travel a little maybe.

yea no coiners like TS and throwingrocks are so chill and reasonable.

lol at the walls of text tooth spews here while having no skin in the game long or short

The people who act as if shorting Bitcoin is a legit thing make me angry.

While your at it, with your skin in the game, tell me exactly how I short Bitcoin on bitmex.... I have to get bitcoin and use bitcoin to short it, but when I short it and price go's down I make more bitcoin on bitmex.... what happens if I short it, and bitcoin go's to zero..... no matter how many bitcoin I made on my short, if it's worth zero, I didn't make anything...........

explain that MR go short or go LONG

You can:

1. Short bitcoin CME futures

2. Short bitcoin CFDs on eToro

3. Short bitcoin trackers / funds (XBT in Europe, GBTC in the US)

4. Buy bitcoin puts on LedgerX

There is a YouTube Tutorial on how to do it on binance with leverage. People in my discord do it all the time. You need margin though so cash or coins will work.

I would not short btc with leverage unless you know what you’re doing. You can get your face ripped off - or get rewarded very handsomely. But I stay clear of it. That being said - btc is mostly here to stay. It’s been holding its own for 10+ years now which is pretty wild if you ask me.

Faux outrage specialist toothsayer has been banned from other subfora here for racist posting by at least three different moderators. Stating this fact should earn me at least five paragraphs of screeching TS outrage.

@Throwingrocks

I would definitely short Bitcoin if I were you! Watch a tutorial or 2 and you're set to go. You wouldn't want to miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity just because you're too lazy to watch a couple vids.

Sidenote: TS is simply here for our entertainment, sometimes he writes way too many words and I have to scroll a lot, that's not entertaining. So my request to TS is to try and limit your wordcount a bit.

You can short bitcoin without ever purchasing bitcoin. The blind arrogance of your posts while knowing close to nothing is amusing. Have a bit of humility ffs we all just have opinions without a crystal ball we can all be wrong.

Having no position is a valid position, even if you are bearish on something. LOL @ having to short while paying attention and having reasonable doubts.

I agree.

I am aiming my advice to short only to the loudest bears. Put up or shut up. They know who they are.

Bitcoin back to 11k in the next 2 weeks imo

I was short the moment I dumped the entirety of my bag on your head.

Let me know when I can short vs you, with trusted 3rd party, all your options require more risk than I would like to take.

Based on what? Could you share your analysis?
