The problem is there always going to be another hype, another bullshit get rich scheme, another scam. The one thing we can be sure of is that there is stupid money out there, but there is more stupid people!

The saddest part is, the people who got burnt last time, will more than likely get burnt again on the next scam!

Good luck with your negative Nancy-isms and your seeming failure/refusal to pee pare ur lil selfie for UP... and yes, several of us have been to these kinds of price performance places in which bitcoin HODLers sell too soon and/or fail to buy enough to prepare for up.. been there done that.. and maybe you are right.... this time.. maybe, maybe...  and maybe not....

I am thinking that you are not too likely to be correct, but hey what do I know?, I don't need another 8-10 years to get to fuck you status.. so I probably am not as enlightened as someone who has a pretty long time frame before getting to fuck you status and who likes to dabble in shitcoins (do we call that distracted thinking?), like uie pooie... hahahahahaha #nohomo.

your profile shows 1459 earned merits (excluding 500 airdropped) 3659 posts

1459/3659=.399

I'd say that's way more than a "touch over 0.25!"

Wrong way to think about it. The goal is not to have a USD bank account that you drain and reaches 0 when you die. The goal is to have enough assets to generate sufficient yearly income indefinitely. That is independent of age.

Here's a fun exercise...
 (this post probably belongs on the meta board, but whatever)
Take anyone's total earned merits (excluding airdropped and merit source airdropped) and divide by their total posts (not activity), and you get one's average merit per post.
Interesting metric. It seems to parallel a typical batting average in baseball major leagues. (I only checked a few well known legends, so don't quote me on that)
Mine is .259... pretty average... lol

If you are over .3 ....respect  
above .4.... lemme know. I'd like to read your posts.

I find it a wee bit strange that you are considering that you need another 8-10 years for your stash to reach fuck you status, while at the same time, you are proclaiming that you are not going to engage in BTC accumulation through traditional means, but instead fucking around with shitcoins.

Whatever people never seem to learn... even some of the old timers here.

Think about it eddie13.  I have probably been harassing you for most of your forum membership, and you been here almost as long as me, and you admitted to shitcoining and learning your lessons and blah blah blah.. but you surely appear to have not learned a whole hell of a lot.   By the way congratulations on getting to 7 years forum membership.

I understand as well that mistakes have likely been made along the way, but just consider if you had mildly aggressive DCA strategy of something like $50 per week for the whole of your forum membership, you would have close to 19 BTC at this time, with an investment cost of less than $20k, which even if that might not put you at fuck you status in terms of having some futureproof in your investment holdings for a guy that is still barely in his 30s, but surely that level of BTC accumulation should be a good base for a 8-10 years target in terms of wanting to be in fuck you status (right before being in your 40s).. and if you were to have that 19BTC amount, then maybe we could presume that you could accumulate another BTC or two in the next 8-10 years.. even with a modestly aggressive ongoing DCA strategy, buying on dips and lumpsum investing in bitcoin without over-stretching your personal budget, overly gambling with your BTC or getting distracted by shitcoin nonsense... but whatever, guys are going to shitcoin and get distracted in various gambling ways rather than engaging in ongoing prudent investing into BTC.. DCA is amongst the strongest of methods, and surely I am not opposed to supplementing DCA with buying on dips and lump sum investing too...

I had done a kind of projection ahead regarding the number of coins needed for fuck you status based on the 208-week moving average that is now at $17k.. and we probably could project the 208-week moving average to go up at least 12% to 20% per year.. so you could chart out your fuck you status yourself based on such trajectories.

Yes sir, obviously the main problem now is that the receiver did not communicate a public key What matters is that the money is returned to the victims, don't you think? Is there more or less $ 700 million left depending on the price? Many people got rich unjustly and stalked chakib they extorted money from him when they found out he was the hacker by threatening to say everything if he didn't share. Yes they want to make chakib is not a heartless guy, and he knows full well that this money is being tracked.

After everything that has happened in the past 2 years, we cannot expect anything better than what is happening, and it is the result of our politicians who are not able to solve problems, but only create new ones. I have a little satisfaction in all this, because all those who have said for years that Bitcoin will fail, are going through difficult moments today because they finally realize how stupid their plan "money in the bank/under the mattress" is actually stupid.

Sometime during 2015, I had a conversation with close friends about Bitcoin - everyone categorically turned down any chance to invest in something like that - and today they feel pretty stupid, and I believe they often think what they could do with 1, 2 or 5 BTC which in 2015 would cost them only a few hundred $.

Yes even they don't really hide it,

Edgecombe wanted to talk he knows a lot of things but when he tried to talk he was calmed by sp4ke and he sent him money to shut up. according to the same sources it would be B.V which would have asked Sp4ke to do the hack and this remains a mystery for many.

The receiver should communicate a public key for the return of funds in BTC quickly.

I've stopped using Google as a search engine on the consumer side. My default now has been duckduckgo for awhile, maybe the past 5 years or so. Try it. Set all your browsers on all your devices to use the duck and just delete or remove google. You won't miss it.
