this market cant handle the cash that coming and it cant even handle the anticipation of the cash thats coming.

Yes, you could probably trade it and make a couple bucks. The question though is can you outperform the bull market? Hodling has been the best return in the crypto market.

i have monumental risk tolerance. but for ome with a wife and kids...have to play it smart

What value does Bitcoin provide over Venmo or Paypal?

This is fun.

Its not USD.

sure, i'll call right away

should i have my credit card number ready?

frank the tank

im streeaking

Why do I get the feeling that the centralized miners in bitcoin are hoarding?

anyone looking to sell some btc for pokerstars?? We can use some sort of escrow! Sent me an PM.

Moved all my ETH to BTC at the start of the week and my boss who moved his BTC to ETH was telling me how it's all going to go to ****...

The bigger it gets the harder it will fall.

Didn't fall very hard or for very long after $5k when China tried to **** it.

Anyone who has bought a Trezor or Nano ledger wallet, where did you purchase it from? I just dont feel 100% safe buying them off random shops off Amazon. I cant seem to find if they have actual websites or not

trezor.io

I don't know. Couldn't read it, because part way through, the webpage told me that I needed to pay money to read the rest of it... yeah... no thanks.

@DoOrDoNot:
If Bitcoin doesn't reach a widescale adoption it won't be as valuable as some of us are hoping it to be. It could in fact be used by some people and not others. People like to be in control of their money. Bitcoin gives people 100% control. Some people may not like Bitcoin and that is fine. They don't have to use it. There are pros and cons to bitcoin. The average person probably wouldn't be too interested in the way that Bitcoin operates, but for a lot of techy people out there it is pretty cool.

@(To the one guy that said Bitcoin doesn't have a limited supply because it can fork. Sorry, I forgot your username, but I'm sure you'll read this)
Bitcoin can fork all it wants, but people have to accept that fork in order for it to reach adoption. If some random guy starts printing out pink dollar bills and telling everyone that they are just a fork of the US dollar people probably won't accept it. Some may though if he is influential. Bitcoin is the same way. Anyone can fork Bitcoin, but people aren't going to just blindly accept those forks. (Well some do, that is why we have bitcoin cash)


To celebrate Bitcoin reaching over $10,000 I will show this poker hand:

CO and BU fold. I hold 2 5 in the SB with a stack of mB8.08. Blinds are mB0.02/mB0.04. I make it mB0.12. BB is a really solid player and has a stack of mB8.76. We've played a bit in the past and I reckon he likes to 3-bet me a wee bit much. Lately I've been folding quite a bit to his 3-bets and lately when I call have been folding to his c-bets.

Anyways, he 3-bets to mB0.40. I reckon he's getting out of line and decide what the hell time to fight back. I 4-bet to mB1. Bring it on!!! BB calls. Uh-oh, I was hoping he'd fold, but oh well.

Flop(mB2) J Q 3
I bet mB0.80
BB calls

Turn(mB3.60) J Q 3 K
I check
BB checks

River(mB3.60) J Q 3 K 4
I bet mB2.58
BB thinks for awhile...


On the river I had the weakest holding you can possibly have on that board which kind of gave me the inspiration to pull the trigger on that gutsy bluff. I reckon his fold is actually good there considering that I'm probably not bluffing there very often. It is a pretty tough spot for him. Especially if he is holding AQ or AJ. Yucky. I showed my mom the poker hand and she was like "meh". If only people in my family knew how cool this hand was.


I'm gambling my bitcoins, because Bitcoin has grown so much in value it has become such a large part of my networth that I reckon it would be unwise to buy anymore. So the answer is to gamble with some of the ones that I already have. Woooohhoooooo Bitcoin! 10K and going up! By the end of this year I reckon it'll be at 100k. Don't miss out guys. The fomo is strong. Listen to your fomo. I reckon it is a good idea.

I reckon

I really do reckon.

OMG it is almost at 11k. What the hell is happening!? Hahahha YES!

making light work of $11k

$20k possible before the end of the year?

My main worry is that the idiots who have bought in at $10k because they heard/read about it how it'll make them a quick million will panic sell at the first sight of a drop...

Can someone explain what Coinmarketcap.com bases its value on? Is it an average of the bigger exchanges?

Weighted average by volume of all markets I believe

I don't see those who have bought into BTC at 10k+ having much of an impact on the market price

those who have been long for a while on bitcoin, are you continuing to turn fiat into BTC even at today's prices? if not, at what price did you stop?

The "idiots" who bought at 10k, like the "idiots" who bought at 5k, like the "idiots" who bought at 1k. Let's stop pretending anyone has a clue what will happen and enjoy the ride.

Just went back to the first page of this thread for the lols. 2nd post is quoted above from 2011...

The irony is he is still right.
