I always thought crypto people were against the government and it's endless bs. Crypto is freedom so I don't really understand. We should all just use crypto we invented it, it is ours.
The government can piss off. But now there is all this KYC bs it irritates me so much. When will they ask for finger print and DNA. Your privacy is invaded more and more each day.
Let's just see how bitcoin performs. Noone knows that's why it's so exciting.

Why not? if only back to $ 5k it seems very likely, but if it doesn't happen until the end of this month, it's likely that the price of bitcoin will continue to decline because of the loss of investor confidence in it, and the strong influence of the government of the world impressed so aggressively to drop crypto

Earlier this year people thought Bitcoin price is going to cross $25k or even $50k. Now the price dropped around $4k. I guess few days ago I saw the price was around $3500. Which direction we are going by the way?

If you bought the $5500 dip and the price would have gone back over $6000 directly people would congratulate you. Now the price has gone down well below that level, they make fun of those who bought that dip.

Isn't it the same as what happened last year? People right now literally make fun of those who bought the top, while back then it could have pumped over $50,000 without much problems.

The way the price kept going up continuously last year makes going from $20,000 to $50,000 a piece of cake. People didn't only held their coins firmly, but they bought more to book more profits while the price keeps increasing.

Plenty of people simply hope in self fulfilling prophecy - they bought Bitcoin when it was up, and now they want to reassure other investors that this is 'just a dip' (and you should always buy dips, they say). The opposite is true, we have been in a bear trend for a few months and we will probably not break it soon.  

No one can tell which price is dip and when will it bounce, on each low everyone goes for another low as resistance but one thing is sure that if the market goes below $3000 then we can see massive sell and the price will move below $2000 very easily and then the market will take lot of time to recover. But still it will be a very good time to start buying bitcoins as after 2 or 3 years you will surely see a very good price and good profit.

The real dip is at $2k.

People have been calling the dip whenever the price drops %10-20 because they were hoping that this time it is going to recover, when they realize they were wrong, they call the dip next time. What they don't realize is, there isn't a shortage of dips in a bear market. (Unless it is $2k:))

If we go below $2k and stay there for more than a month however, now you can freely say "bitcoin is dead"

Not saying it can't be revived in the future but staying for a month or two below $2k means It is pretty much dead which is why it is probably not going to happen.

Bitcoin won't die before USD dies. USD will die long before bitcoin.

Marketcap of bitcoin is tiny compared to how much USD was printed by the fed.

$72bn only. We are still at the beginning of the history. At this point bitcoin is no bigger than a mid size company.

Hello everybody!

In the end, it was the bankers who pulled us over the barrel.

Look at that..

There are two principal schools here,

1.) old-skool, we got our btc for free 2009->2013, I concur if you don't care about money, there is no point to sell, HODL on until you die, ...

2.) new-skool, post 2014 get rich quick criminal types, and exchanges, ... came to bitcoin and pumped&dumped and in 2017 it went to the moon, since these newbs ONLY cared about money, and they didn't have any money, well they bought BTC on credit card, since their game was to make money HODL is the worst possible decision they could have made,

Old skool types were employed scientists and such, had a good job, and are not motivated to 'speculate'

The new skool types are largely uneducated morons, and they were speculators, and they should have followed the tried and true basis of speculation which is ...

1.) buy-low, sell-high
2.) cut your losses ( avoid gamblers ruin problem )
3.) let your profits run, but always take your profits, always remove money from the table before you go to sleep

HODL is the worst thing you can tell a moron to do, sadly it goes both ways the majority criminals that now control and operate bitcoin, know exactly what they're doing by telling morons to BUY&HOLD

The idea is not that we should just abolish police and leave a void in the system but that we should reform police so drastically that they are no longer anything like what we previously recognized as police.  So you could call it abolition or reform but radical change is the end.

 Since the corruption of police is linked to the retributive justice system, they must both be abolished and replaced together.

The idea stems from two common grievances:

1. The goal of police should be to increase public safety

- Police have not done this, in fact, crime is high despite massive police spending and presence.  Police have turned into an organization that manufactures criminals and feed them to a justice system that manufactures criminality. Basic life activities have been criminalized for the sake of providing criminals for police to feed to the prison system.  Meanwhile, violent crimes often go unsolved.   Police do not achieve the goal they were made for.  


2. The role of police should be to serve and protect citizens

- Police do not fill this role.  Instead, police have taken a role of authority over the people.  People are expected to respect and obey police when the role was meant to be the opposite.  We have become a police state where people live under fear of constant oppression by the police.  Specifically, black, native, latinx, and LGBTQ people who are disproportionately manufactured into criminals.  

3. The role of prisons should be to reduce criminality

-If our prisons were fulfilling their role, we would have the safest society in human history because we lock up the more people than any society in human history.  We don't.  The prisons have become breeding grounds for criminality.  Innocent people go to prison and come out hardened criminals.  Prison conditions tiptoe on the edge of human rights abuses and make little effort to rehabilitate these people into productive citizens.  If prisons are doing the opposite of what they are meant to do, it seems like an easy decision to abolish them and replace them with something that can fill the role.  

Abolitionists often propose two concepts to replace our retributive justice system.  


1. Restorative justice asks these important questions when a crime has been committed

Who has been hurt & what are their needs?
Who is obligated to address these needs?
Who has a “stake” in this situation & what is the process to involve them in making things right and preventing future occurrences?

2. Transformative justice asks these important questions when a crime has been committed

What social circumstances promoted the harmful behavior?
What structural similarities exist between this incident and others like it?
What measures could prevent future occurrences?

Restorative justice takes place between the offender and the victim and attempts to "restore" conditions back to the way they were before the crime was committed.

Transformative justice is carried out by community leaders and the community at large and attempts to "transform" society into a society where the root causes of the crime no longer exist.  

People often wonder, "without the police, wouldn't there just be chaos?" but restorative and transformative justice strategies off a path to create a society where police are no longer needed.  

The rumor is their cartel is finally being cracked and they are being forced to liquidate their holdings.

Hmm, resourcen Verschwendung, hmmm... 80% der verbrauchten Energie kommt Schätzungsweise aus erneuerbaren Energien, denke da hinkt das "normale" Finanzsystem deutlich hinterher...
Bleibt also der Elektroschrott sprich ausrangierte Miner... man gut das Banken ihre Rechner auch nie erneuern...  

aber hey, keep hating... zur not gibts ignore...

I think that bankers and some brokers have certain influence over the prices for crypto currency. They could make so that prices dropped down. There is also an opinion that all large banks are regulated by people in an organized way

Hey, also du hast uns vorhin versprochen das es vorbei wäre und mit einer Nachricht von vor 3 Jahren, also tu ich so als hättest du das Ganze vor 3 Jahren gepostet und wo stehen wir heute?  Zwar fett im minus im Gegensatz zum letzten Jahr aber dennoch stehen wir glaube ich im 3 Jahresvergleich doch schon ein klein wenig im Plus...
