My personal favorite is WTC7 hitting the ground at freefall speed. After 9/11 we were called conspiracy theorists for more than a decade before supposed logic started to creep in. Still, ask someone how that day happened and I bet you get some jihad box cutter story, flight manuals and recovered passports. Mistrust of government and powerful elites (they) is learned.
https://www.ktva.com/story/41015153/fire-did-not-cause-world-trade-center-building-7-collapse-uaf-study-suggestsYep, over 3,000 architects and engineers ran hundreds of computer simulations, but could not replicate what the MSM/ U.S. govt. claims happened to WTC7. But the npcs don't care. Also, my personal favorite is that reporter filmed on live TV saying "Just in, we've gotten reports now that Tower 7 has fallen! Tower 7 is down!"... literally with Tower 7 still standing in the background behind her. It fell like 5 minutes after she said that.  Again, the npcs don't care. |

My problem is I have a scientific background and appreciate little details like evidence and logic before jumping to conclusions that serve to reconfirm my world view. If that renders me a normie NPC then call me Wojak.
So Epstein really did kill himself, eh? I guess without evidence to the contrary, you believe he most certainly did. Here, have another blue pill. Nom nom.  |

As for the mainstream media's "hit pieces," they print what sells. Obviously there is some public interest in bitcoin, so they print things that they think their readers will want to read. And not all pieces in the media about bitcoin are bad -- several also hail its innovative features and cover it in a positive light. Yeah right, about 1 article out of every 100 might.  https://99bitcoins.com/bitcoin-obituaries/Here's the problem: you are relying upon too many unknowns to arrive at a conclusion. It's a hallmark behavioral trait of conspiracy theorists.
And I guess you're one of those normies in life that dismiss pretty much everything you don't agree with as a "conspiracy theory", and label anyone that believes in something you don't as a "conspiracy theorist". It's a hallmark behavioral trait of an npc. Just do me a favor; take another blue pill, and blissfully get on with your life. Btw, why are you into Bitcoin again? Why not just trust stonks and the good old USD? |

Who indeed controls the stock market? Give me a name. Just saying "they" is what makes you come across as a conspiracy theorist.
Did you know: 85% of equities/commodities are owned directly by wealthy sovereigns, central banks, investment banks, Wall Street investment funds, hedge funds, etc. Only 15% of those same investment vehicles are owned by mom and pop retail investors (actually not even owned; leased is a more accurate term...they don't really own shit). And as the Baby Boomers continue to retire and sell off their stock investments to live, and as more corporations continue to buy back their stock with freely printed money, that 15% figure is going to continue to shrink. As if the crypto market doesn't have as much or even more potential for corruption? It's delusional to believe otherwise, just as its delusional to think the entire crypto market represents more than a blip on the overall size of trade-able markets.
Total market cap of all cryptos: $0.363 trillion
Total market cap of 3 biggest US stock exchanges: $35.503 trillion
So without adding in commodities and other stock markets, this is about 1% the size of the NYSE, NASDAQ and OTCQX. Adding in the rest of the top 25 global stock markets raises the total to $78 trillion; adding conservative estimates of the following:
Gold = $9 trillion
Silver = $6 trillion
Oil = $4 trillion
Everything else = $3 trillion
= $100 trillion dollar total trade-able market. So we're now down to the crypto market representing 0.363% of this amount.
Yes I know this. But it's growing bigger and bigger with each passing year. It's gaining in popularity. And those other markets you listed? Gold, Silver, Oil, and everything else? Those are markets that the Cabal controls. Bitcoin, they don't control. And it irritates the shit out of Wall Street. If not, then why would the likes of Jamie Dimon or Warren Buffett even bother to comment on Bitcoin at all? Why wouldn't they just ignore it entirely? Why would the Mainstream Media spend so much time and effort, year after year, publishing hit piece upon hit piece against Bitcoin if it weren't such a threat? |

I looked up his Twitter account today, and now I totally get it.
He's a plant. A shill for the Wall Street stonk day tarders.
No, no no no. You're letting your penchant for conspiracy theories get in the way of rational thinking. The PTB that might be capable of manipulating the stock market don't give two fucks about bitcoiners. This guy is just another Twitter personality who has a semi-interesting style and a shitload of fake followers. Think about it: the entire crypto market is just a drop in the ocean of the three major stock markets. Nobody in charge there gives a single solitary fuck about bitcoin. Sorry but I completely, 1000% disagree. The corrupt Wall Street trading cabal (of which Jim Cramer is a shill mouthpiece for) is worried about Bitcoin. Not about it taking over the world or anything like that, but because retail investors and traders are excited about trading/hodling in a digital commodity that the Cabal themselves cannot control. Because it's too late for them to come in and corner the Bitcoin market. 1. They cannot corner the Bitcoin market, i.e. gain 90%+ control over minted bitcoin, because the majority of mined bitcoin is already in the hands of "not-Wall Street". And the hodlers are spread out all over the world. This happened in the beginning years when Wall Street was laughing at and largely ignoring Bitcoin as a penny stock scam. They didn't even understand what it was exactly or why it should have value. 2. Bitcoin has to be mined by miners. The Cabal cannot artificially inflate it vis a vis just print more bitcoin, do phantom bitcoin, or fractional reserves (that last task is in the hands of the crypto exchanges, ones that they cannot control). 3. Because they cannot get huge, significant amounts of bitcoin for free, they cannot massively short it either. 4. They are accustomed to using massive leverage to move stonk markets (think 1000X or more), but that type of leverage is not permitted by the crypto exchanges because of risk management. 5. If they want huge amounts of bitcoin to play with, they have to buy it OTC or on the market exchanges like everyone else. And the amount they want has to be available. This is NOT how Wall Street does things. So therefore they have little interest in Bitcoin itself, other than Bitcoin is luring Average Joes away from the corrupt stonk markets that they DO INDEED control. And this irritates them beyond belief. They literally WANT Average Joes back into the corrupt stonk market where they can rekt them all day long. |

That Portnoy video.
What a newb.
Does he really expect the stock market to just keep going up forever?
Man, I wouldn't wish I'll on anybody but I got to say that I am looking forward to the day he gets mindrusted good and proper.
He will not only miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime (Bitcoin) but is going to get royally rekt when the stock market comes crashing down around him.
I looked up his Twitter account today, and now I totally get it. He's a plant. A shill for the Wall Street stonk day tarders. This was all just a stunt for him to try and convince Bitcoiners to leave crypto and get into stonks. Here's a video of him, notice him buddying up with ol' Jim Cramer: https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/1296952930063601666And here's another photo of him with ol' Jim Cramer: https://twitter.com/jimcramer/status/1296966764799164416Anyone remember how ol' Jim Cramer feels about Bitcoin? Remember this from 2014? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2kEySHOd4JUThe joke's on Dave though, from the looks of his twitter stream it didn't work. https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/1297222550922108929Seriously, those guys can fk off. |

Dave Portnoy: talk about the ultimate day tarding weak-handed fool. https://twitter.com/stoolpresidente/status/1296910690930896896He couldn't handle crypto for what, like a few days? Now he's saying he only invests in stonks because "stonks only go up." Holy shit, not only is he going to get crushed one day, but so will all of his followers. |

When recessions/depressions hit small, rural towns, the people just suffer quietly...but not much else changes on the outside. When recessions/depressions hit large metro cities, all hell breaks loose into Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome style lawless shit. This is why they couldn't pay me enough to live in metro cities like LA, NYC, or Chicago. Fucking concrete jungles with no beauty, just filth and crime always simmering beneath the surface. |

https://www.citadel21.com/why-the-yuppie-elite-dismiss-bitcoin Of course, this will all change as Bitcoin’s mechanics continue to play out, making Number go Up. In time, everyone will have to face the painful realization that their reasons for writing off Bitcoin were wrong. Because of the dynamics at work with the yuppie class, it may take longer for them to come around to Bitcoin than with most new technologies or trends. Great article, but I believe this writer is incorrect about this quote: As an aside, I went to the best business school in the world and they didn’t teach us anything about that. For what it’s worth, I don’t think that this was a knowing or malicious omission. I think this battle was won 100-years ago, in Keynes’ day, with the self-serving support of governments weighing heavily on the outcome. Which is to say, my professors learned from Keynesians who themselves learned from Keynesians. The business leaders and educators of today are completely unaware that they are passing on the shoddy propaganda version of monetary theory as a result of the largely successful ideological extermination of sound monetary theory. Au contraire, I think the business school professors know exactly what they are doing with their constant Keynesian propaganda. They know exactly what sound money is, but know the business world is now fueled on cheap debt and money printing. “It is difficult to get a man A man refuses to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” |

For me when BTC forked by changing the protocol, that left BCH as Bitcoin to me. When BCH forked by changing the protocol that left BSV as Bitcoin to me. I'm not choosing to follow an alt coin, or whatever. I am simply staying with the Bitcoin that I beleive in, regardless of squabbling over the name, the ticker, and price and all sorts of other such things that do not actually define what Bitcoin is.
And on, and on, and on... like a rat jumping from one burning, sinking ship to another. Maybe one day you'll find the elusive "real Bitcoin". Hey...you smell that, sgbett? BSV is already on fire and sinking fast. I hope they do another fork soon so you can jump ship again.  Meanwhile, Bitcoin TM will live on and prosper. |

At the end of the day sgbett, value is driven by belief, and belief is a popularity contest. Sorry to break it to you, but BCH and BSV lost that popularity contest long ago to crazy antics and bullshit fraud from the likes of Roger Ver, Calvin Ayre, CSW, and the loonie developers. Both have been judged in the court of popular opinion and found guilty of scammery. The reality is that no one held high opinion of either BCH or BSV from the very start (except a scant few crazies such as yourself). If you still hold any BSV, keep dreaming the dream I guess. But it'll never ever happen. Like ever. The fact that you claim to be 90%+ in Bitcoin, and have been all along, just proves that you have always known the truth. |

RIP V.  Dammit Torque. Why'd you hafta go and do THAT?!??!? I truly believe we won't see sub $9k again. So the meme had to die. |

Gross. Hope the fed is happy with their purchases, which are actually mostly treasury bonds and assorted debt. I remember when Larry Ellison bought Lanai island of Hawaii and sank about $500 million into it. Heartwarming to know he could now buy 24 more Lanais thanks to the fed. The funny thing tho, buying back your company's stock is not prosperity. It's a ponzi. And it means things are getting progressively worse. |

In a nutshell...
I mined shitcoins way before the 2017 bubble and sold them at a prices way below what they are now.
Because I was convinced they were all fads/scams and wouldn't last.
Case in point....I dumped all my Darkcoin (Dash) when it "pumped" to $5. And was laughing at whoever the "sucker" was who bought them.
Yeah....look how that worked out.....
It doesn't matter tho, because they ARE scams and in the long run they WON'T LAST. They only exist and trade today because the deep pocket scammers can keep them going for now (see penny stocks for examples). They also have no liquidity; if someone came in and dumped a few million $$ worth on many of them, they would hit single digits $$ in just a few minutes. |

So this thing about Warren Buffett buying GOLD, here's my take on it.
For the last 7-8 years, ol' Warren has been known to do 1 of 2 things:
1. Come in like a White Knight and bail out companies that are in financial distress, or
2. Buy something out of the blue that's a "day-late-and-a-dollar-short", and that turns out to be a HUGE contrarian indicator.
Him buying a gold mining company out of the blue would likely be #2.
And with PMs, he's never gotten it right before. See his huge stake in Silver long ago, that he lost money on and sold about 5 years too soon.
