Meh..I disagree completely. I have been divorced now for 10 years after 17 years of a mostly wonderful marriage, I have 3 beautiful children and a solid relationship with my ex that I would not trade for the world. Marriage and life are what you make of it. If you put a negative connotation on something it will most likely be that in reality. Just a thought.
Yeah, but you have to realize that your relationship with your ex is the exception and not the rule. Most men get royally screwed over by the ex-wives, both during the whole rotten, depressing marriage and then afterward. Sounds like you didn't. Also sounds like you had substantial disposable income to spend on your teenage daughters, and a willingness to do it. Very antithesis to what most men have post-divorce. Who cares? If he is the exception to the rule he is not the exception to rule because of luck, but because of a series of choices he made throughout his life most likely. Even if your initial premise is true it doesn't mean anything to someone in his shoes. He doesn't need to realize his exception. Exceptional people have no need to realize their exceptional nature. They can of course, but they don't need unexceptional people preaching it to them. A: Was I talking to you? B: Why are you trying to be a dick? |

The only question is when will the next S-curve start. With Bitcoin, it was never a matter of if, but when. With the Lightning Network getting more adoption and the halving date approaching, I would assume that we are close to that point.
Good post. But nah, I think you got the reasoning all wrong. Humans are only driven by greed and fear. The next S-curve, as you call it, will only start when the next bull runs gets underway and Average Joe comes FOMO'ing in at the top of the 11th hour, like they always do. |

No, it really fucking doesn't. An anecdote is not a statistic.
You had to know this was coming Ibian...  |

Direct experience trumps stats.
Stats - collected and compiled direct experiences of multiple individuals Kinda like those 'stats' compiled by child psychologists that tell (would be) parents the best way to raise their children, right?  |

A unicorn is a virgin, so no a divorcee doesn't count.
I disagree. A virgin married to you, no matter how naive, innocent or demure, will still always be looking at bettering her lifestyle and trading up. Its biological and natural. The bigger the pond the greater the desire. Unfortunately with the Internet now, the whole entire fkn world is "the pond" to them. A divorcee has a much better chance of realizing the fallacy of always wanting/needing to "trade up". With age and a whole lotta shit comes wisdom. Did you check the stats in the vid? The numbers are clear. It's not a matter of opinion. Have you ever been married? Direct experience trumps stats. |

Bitcoin is the path to lambo. Lambo leads to women. Women lead to marriage. Marriage leads to...suffering.
Naw, women lead to getting laid which leads to dumping that nasty golddigger. Unless she's that one in, quite literally, a million who is worth a fuck beyond fucking. Better odds playing the lottery. Even better playing the roulette.
Can I get some contact info from you guys? I want to meet the women who fucked you guys over so badly... I am detected possible future ex-wives.  I just look at statistics. The odds of a marriage in the states surviving ten years today is something like 3%. Herbivores, mgtow, the beautiful ones, all the same shit. Women today are not just useless, they are actively dangerous. Happened back in the roman days too, it's just what happens when things go too well for too long. All true. The odds of a marriage failing after 7-10 yrs are huge. Financial issues are the #1 cause of divorce, and it's usually (<80% of the time) the woman who has entitled and overinflated expectations of what the marriage should be in terms of being able to afford the lavish (and un-affordable) lifestyle that she believes she wants or needs to be happy and content. When divorce comes, the man usually is the one who takes the brunt of the financial hit (legal fees, loses 50% of assets, alimony, child support, etc.) and has his net worth set back by about 10-15 years. Meaning he has to pretty much start over and work hard that long just to break even to where he was financially when it all started. The only chance a man has is to meet the rare unicorn woman that is on the same page, thinks exactly like he does about his future, his financial goals, what he wants in life and in retirement. Usually this woman has been through some shit herself already, at least one bad divorce, and now realizes what is most important in life to her (hint: it's not a lavish lifestyle designed to impress the neighbors or the family). |

Is there any information out there on Coinbase's new user sign ups?
I would like to know how to find out this information as well. Coinbase used to somewhat accurately track their accounts so that you could somewhat get a monthly rate of new accounts added. But then back in Nov. '17, they mysteriously removed that and now only vaguely track a rough total on their /about page: https://www.coinbase.com/aboutGod only knows how accurate that number is. 20M+ would roughly put them at about double the number of accounts they were claiming to have just ~1 year ago. |

Meanwhile  Stop what? Geez, the guy is completely paranoid. Noone cares about what he does or says anymore. P.S.: Well maybe for fun and giggles every once in a while but not that anyone intends to stop him at anything... on the contrary. Roger is exactly right. No one is going to stop him from being the biggest Narcissistic douchebag of the crypto world. No one. Nor is anyone stopping him from being the biggest buy-backer of his own shitcoin. Buy that shit Roger, you go! |

As long as the price won't be is stable nobody will use it as a main currency go through the hassle and expense of ever buying any to simply use it as a daily currency.
FTFY |

For me I wish people would convert and spend rather than buy, hodl, sell.
The idea of holding means you're resisting the temptation of selling. But if bitcoin is your main currency...why would you ever consider buying some fiat?
Well a lot more people would do that instead of converting back to fiat if you could easily pay your taxes, pay your mortgage, pay bills, buy houses, cars, groceries, etc. with bitcoin. But currently (esp in the U.S.) you can't. And possibly not ever, at least in most first world countries. And in the U.S., the IRS wants to steal their share of any gains you might have. |

This is how stupid Vinny Lingham is: https://twitter.com/VinnyLingham/status/1006899091127746565Never mind the fact that HODL is precisely what gives the exchange value that Bitcoin has today (and every other asset on the planet). And it reduces price volatility. If everyone bought bitcoin simply to turn around and spend it minutes later, effectively having a bitcoin savings net sum of zero, it'd probably have an exchange market value of around $2/btc and that would never change. Not to mention you lose 2% (broker fee) right off the bat just from going through the hassle of buying it, which has to be made back to use as a net zero currency. |

~snip Nice words tweeted by Vinny Lingham:  Very poorly worded. It actually doesnt make sense as written. Which luxury is he lacking? Has he been living a hand-to-mouth existence? He's a fucking millionaire. Edit: im a fucking idiot. I'll blame it on the night shifts... It's perfectly written in plain english. No, actually his ramblings are not "enlightening" at all, but are still poorly worded garbage when you consider that what he wrote can literally be applied to every single investment vehicle on the planet. Bitcoin (or crypto) is no exception. Vinny is an idiot. The wealthy elite will always have the luxury of being the strongest hands with any investment vehicle, because they are already rich and don't need the money they invest (so no need to liquidate during down turns). |

How is producing 10 times the amount of money you have...not printing money out of thin air?
If not out of thin air, where does the new money come from?
It is underwritten by 3rd party debt - either sovereign, corporate or person debt. A bank cannot simply create money "out of thin air".. They need to get an economically productive entity to underwrite it / "back" it with a promise of future productivity. Newly printed money created from debt than can never be paid back is the very definition of "out of thin air". It's a snake eating its own tail. |

Hey it'll probably spike down to sub $600!! /s When bearish calls get really stupid, the bottom is close.  As scary as this sounds, I wouldn't be surprised if that happened. I am at the stage where all I do is pray and hope while fearing the worst. Anything under $5k, and its full panic station.  |

To anyone thinking BTC price will drop once the USDT shenanigans are exposed:
Imagine there's a small planet of fishermen who use shells as currency. There's a limited supply of shells.
One day an astronaut arrives from an advanced planet; he carries a secret device which allows him to create several fake shells.
For some weeks the astronaut buys a lot of local diamonds (unique and also limited in supply). He pays with his synthetised shells but the fishermen don't know they're fake and thus his market demand drives the diamonds prices up.
One day the astronaut returns to his planet with the diamonds and then the fishermen find out all the shells he gave them were fake and have now turned to ash.
Will the price of diamonds go down?
Nope.
The fishermen will still use shells to buy diamonds, and astronaut gone or not, there's still the same amount of shells around and the same amount of diamonds.
Kinda like the way the wealthy elite have gamed the system to print fiat out of thin air, then turn around and use it to buy real assets (businesses, stock shares, real estate, PMs, etc.) with that printed fake money. The assets themselves never really go down in value, but the fiat purchasing power sure does. One day it'll all hyperinflate and go poof. And then they'll reset and start the game all over again. |
