Would the thread be more interesting to you if it was just a bunch of bulls posting their daily buys?

"hey guys, got more cheap btc at 31k today"
"hey guys, took another bite at 32k today"
"hey guys, can't believe the market is gifting me more at 33k today"
"hey guys, still buying more at 34k"
"hey guys, enjoy this gift while it lasts. bought more at 35k"

Not sure why anyone gives him the time of day. Kind of makes it seem like hes hit a nerve with some of the things hes said as they seem to persist without him.

If someone invests in AMZN, SPY, AAPL, etc they typically aren't silent as things plot along and then spazzing out when they go up. They certainly don't have anyone on the opposite side of the trade or detractors top of mind as things go well. It's definitely a different vibe than just being happy about the price going up. Going from tumbleweeds to people coming in to end zone dance with a little piss running down their leg isn't normal for other investments

The valuation of TSLA makes zero sense. It's valued higher than a handful of other top automakers combined. It has a cult following though. They seem oddly fixated on the doubters also. So obviously having a cult following is powerful and a great reason to invest. It also means the rug could get pulled and there's a long way to fall. Goes both ways i guess

I also get that some back and forth banter is fun. Considering tooth can't post here, hasn't been posting here, and should be irrelevant, its also fun to observe that he constantly gets brought up. Like if tooth called one of my investments dogshlt 6 months ago, my impulse wouldn't be to think about tooth while things were going well. I'd probably have forgot about it 5.5 months ago... or something like that

Bitcoin currently has no use. Its a speculation vehicle. Its obviously been a great one and who knows if/when that will stop. Understanding the speculators etc is important. Its not like we're forecasting earnings, profits, etc here. Make sense? It should.

Its just a running joke in this thread. Obviously the guy hit some nerves too. He's a somewhat sophisticated and dedicated troll.

Lots of money to be made wherever volatility exists. Congrats and good luck

Dunking on TS is amazing considering the aggressive confidence in his huge volume of nonsense posts ITT. Once rich there are few pleasures left.

It doesn't have a use. Nobody uses it as a currency. Its an investment vehicle or "store of value". Anyways I'm not interested in circling back to this debate at the moment

I don't think its fair to call any of my posting on covid "conspiracy" since government lockdowns are explicit. They state their intentions and its not like I'm theorizing its some sort of aluminati plot. You're the guy who's posting in the I'm 30+ and learning to date thread right? Covid seems a lot more relevant to functioning adults, especially ones with the social skills to attract and maintain healthy personal relationships. Perhaps if you buy a gold bitcoin necklace or a lambo the chicks will start falling to your feet. Good luck with all that I guess

Can't wait til BTC hits $1M and people keep using the same criticisms from 2013.

Bulls, huge congrats. It was looking dark for a minute when we dipped back below 30K in July.

Bears, if you don't get it by now you never will. My condolences for missing the investment opportunity of a lifetime.

Dunking on salty nocoiners is what makes this thread fun.

Trying to explain complex, or even not so complex, topics to noobs and nocoiners is not as fun. Unless somebody seems to engage in good faith, I just don't care anymore to explain anything. Topics derange into nonsense very quickly. It is what it is.

For example, we could explain to juan valdez why hodling Bitcoin is using Bitcoin, but he won't care. Your covid twitter recaps are good. I am surprised you trust the state with your money yet distrust them when it comes to your health. Why do you think these people know wrt your money?

Part of the problem may be that you don't really understand anything and formulate absurd models in your head detached from reality or logic. Why would you assume I trust the state with my money? Do I horde it under my mattress, let it sit in a bank, or do I spend and invest with it? I'm in favor of lower taxes, lower regulation, and less government vs private services. That's me trusting myself and a market with money vs the state. I don't trust the state any more with my health. I chose to get vaccinated because at over 30 the risk/reward tilts in my favor by a wide margin. That doesn't mean I think the decision should be made for me, anyone else, or there shouldn't be exceptions

With all those silly failures in reason and assumption out of the way, you did say something interesting. Why is holding bitcoin using bitcoin? If I hold gold (no thanks) in a safe, am I using it? How is this different and why?

Also lets keep in mind the title of the thread. The theories and narrative of bitcoin in this thread and the wild has remained even remotely the same?

Also could someone please update us on el salvador?

Well the dirty truth is that bitcoin isn't the world's most interesting topic to discuss at extended lengths; anyone who has looked into it for an hour gets the gist of it, and they either believe in it or they don't believe in it. There's no new and deeper understanding you get on BTC after you get the general concept; just news and speculation about what it might mean to it's widespread adoption.

When the price is mooning, the bulls come out to dunk about how they were right all along.
When the price is dumping, the bears come out to dunk about how they were right all along.
When the price is flat, the thread is quiet.

It doesn't "tell" anything.

Have no idea who you're referring to. It seems your brain worms have overtaken your cognition. No surprise considering your media diet (jimmy dore, dark horse et al). I'm impressed you can embed tweets all things considered.

Sorry that you are convinced by grifters selling you a lol covid narrative. Hopefully you get natural immunity and things go well.

Best of luck.

Yes. You are using it as a store of value. Except it's much harder to transport, spend, etc. relative to Bitcoin.

I don't agree with this. I think many view BTC as some kind of cash grab ponzi gimmick the way we look at many NFTs. Like one day somebody woke up and decided to create Bitcoin for shits and giggles.

In reality, people had been working on creating a digital decentralized currency for decades. Solving the double spending problem is something many thought was impossible. Satoshi used the decades of work before him and put together all the pieces in a truly brilliant way, worthy of a Nobel prize.

Sure, I got the gist of Bitcoin pretty quickly. But it took months of learning about it and truly understanding it on a technical level before it all clicked and I realized just how much of a gamechanger it was.

yep, 285 posts of internet dating for guys that graduated college a decade ago. Turns out the brain worms thing aint so

Also I don't really know who jimmy dore is so (but the name sounds familiar) if I actually shared something he posted, whoop dee doo. I'm vaccinated and just posted that itt today. A lot of brilliant observations and dialogue here. Who knew entering the thread of virtual currency, a store of value, digital gold, digital real estate, electronic scarcity, central american prosperity, so many wild stories im losing track, would lead to tedious back and forth of the most brain dead comments that aren't even on topic... well kind of expected.

Thanks for showing up and chiming in
