So what?


1000 per day makes it only 360 000 a year compared to millions that die from cancer and millions that die in car accidents every year. I don't see anybody making a big deal out of car or cancer deaths but it takes just a few people to die from a new form of virus and there's suddenly a worldwide panic and everything gets shut down.

If you think that it will continue then sell and buy more later. This is the basic instinct of an investor. If you believe that something will happen take advantage of that knowledge.

I don't sell Bitcoin because I prefer to keep it safe in cold storage. Safety is my main concern and I trade only coins that I don't believe in but if some of you hold coins on exchanges why not trade them?

I can't do most of the things that I used to before the isolation begun but you can always find something to do as long as you're feeling well. The Spring has begun and I've been spending more time in the garden, working out, trying to get back in shape after Winter lazyness. I also work from home so there's always something to focus on.

If you cannot live without gambling buy some lottery tickets or those stupid scratchcards. Go play some online poker. That can really help.
That advice that someone gave you to bet on esports is also good but many tournaments were postponed because they weren't planned as online events.

Congratulations, now Russians are using the N word towards Bitcointalk

Russian government must have a lot of time to waste during the pandemics if with all that's going on they can focus on banning cryptocurrencies and blocking access to bitcointalk.

They are using this situation to force people into submission.

I read about countries trying to get rid of cash, make people stay at home and fining them for going out, even if they're healthy, which is like curfew.

Some countries in Europe are also trying to give more power to their police so that they can jail you much easier, even if you're not doing anything wrong but going where they don't want you or if they suspect you might be sick.

If you're checking it so often it means you are scared of the drop or want to make some fast money selling when it begins to rally again. Either way it's not a healthy approach.

If you invest, invest long term. Don't check prices 30 times a day because you're wasting time and torturing yourself when the price doen't meet your expectations. You have no control over it and it will do what it will do. Eventually it will go up even itf it means going down to 3000 in the process. What are you going to do if it bottoms once again? Sell?

I know that I will never sell at 5 6 or 7 thousand because this price does not satisfy me.

This is very smart and I've been doing it every time.

I found that when the price keeps falling I'm surprised but believe it's just remporary so I keep holding but with every coming day when the price keeps going down I feel more and more pressure to sell. After a couple days I really start thinking about selling because it went lower than I had expected and I know this is the worst time to do it but it's how our minds work.

It's best to get busy with life and step away from charts.

Trump is trying to open the country again because he sees that this isolation is bad for the country.

Bitcoin fell soon after his first announcement about closing the borders. We'll see how the stock market will react when everything starts going back to normal.
We saw how stocks can influence Bitcoin so if stocks go up so will cryptocurrencies.

You had to be retarded to buy Bitcoin for 19 thousand. That's true even when it hurts to be called that way.

When an asset starts going up exponentially wvery week you know there's something wrong with it just like you know something is wrong when it goes down 50% in a day.

From 1000 to 5000 it was an organic growth with pullbacks and then it went exponential. You could try to raid it from 10k with a finger on the sell button but never buy to hold from that moment. Holding is a great strategy but you can't buy at the peak of the bubble. Even if you bought at 10 thousand the 2019 bull run would allow you to profit. To profit after buying at 19 you'll probably have to wait for another 1 or 2 years.

I'm the hodler. I'm only trading altcoins but with Bitcoin it's only the hodl strategy for me.

I don't care much about alts and play around with them. Sometimes I gain some sometimes I lose some but it's entertainment just like gambling. With Bitcoin it's different because this thing has already paid all my bills. I got some coins in 2016 and spent less than a few hundred for what now is worth 6 thousand.

You don't throw away an investment that keeps on giving.

That's completely unrealistic if you compare a number of facts.
1. The amount that was stolen by the scammers.
2. The average daily volume on exchanges.
3. The time when plus token was found selling which was somewhere in May or June of 2019.

They wouldn't be able to cause a crash like that because the amount of coins they had was too small. Especially in 2020 when they were already out of coins or mostly out.

About stocks. Many people wanted to buy the dip a month ago and got burned on stocks because this wasn't your typical 5% dip. It was followed by another 5% and another.

When I saw this Bitcoin crash I knew it was a panic move. There was nothing normal about it and many people like Snowden also saw it and talked about it. When people realize there's nothing wrong with Bitcoin and stocks, gold, silver, oil are going down too, they will start buying it all back. Bitcoin will go up.

Those people shouldn't have invested at all. Invest only your own money people or you won't be investing but gambling.

By investing someone else's money you're bringing a third party to the mix. This third party will be able to put pressure on you and disrupt your trading strategies and if you ever lose money that third party will come after you. It will happen even if it's your parent. They will remember your mistake and remind you about it scaring you from making bold moves with your own money.

You don't need to run a bounty campaign to promote a project.

You can run an airdrop instead, get some vloggers to talk about you. There are many ways of getting people interested in the product. Some scam coins did not run a bounty campaign and managed to get buyers through other ways like affiliate marketing.

Loans are bad especially if you like taking a risk with your trades. They will cloud your judgement and made you trade more nervously. A gambler could could say that taking a loan can later force your hand in trading.

Also a loss of a loan hurts you more than a loss of your own money. You can be in some real trouble when they take your car or your computer because you stopped paying and cut you off from ways of making it back.

If it's really 1 or 2% then it's much less than fiat. Cash has always been the choice of criminals especially drug lords. Pablo Escobar had millions of dollars buried in the fields behind his houses and hidden inside walls.

The Dollar is the currency behind everything illegal. Bitcoin doesn't even compare to that.

If they are complaining without proof it's safe to say their opinions are untrue. You have to be smart about these things and spot trolls. I don't think the reputation of a site will suffer if a few newbie accounts say some made up stories on a bitcoin forum.

Give me an example of a site that went out of business because an army of troll accounts destroyed them. You won't find any.
If a site is fair it's not going to get slandered into oblivion.

You can't even use it as a source when writing a thesis on a university. Nobody will accept it because anybody can contribute and the information will remain on Wikipedia as long as someone doesn't find and correct it.

This tik tok post is a joke and you're just helping him get views. These days you can literally post the biggest shit and get views if you use a good catchphrase.

OP, you could as well ask some other rethorical questions like:
Why there are so many drug addicts?
Why there are so many smokers?
Why there are so many workaholics?

People get addicted to things they like doing. Some get addicted to playing computer games, others to gambling. You can't change that.

Bullshit.

Saying that Bitcoin does nor exist is just like saying that your rights to software of rights to a domain do not exist.

What if I take all yor emails and your files in google cloud and it won't be theft because they do not exist? How about that?
