RIP to the leveraged traders. Moment of silence.
This sell off was ugly. Now the question remains, do we gap down to $41K or do we have the all clear for launch now that all the leverage was cleared out of the system? I’m personally lost for direction at the moment so it’s a wait and see situation for me.
The amount of money my portfolio lost today was shockingly impressive though. I’m not even mad.

Wow! And yet I've thought Bitcoin-funded solid gold coins were the only ones in circulation. That Platinum NastyFans coin is such a beauty. If only I could afford it, I'd treasure it forever.  I also made them in 2oz & 4oz gold versions. The 2oz I believe had 10 made and the 4oz had 5 minted. You don’t see them offered for resale very often but I know one of the 4oz versions was sold this year so they are out there and changing hands whenever one is offered. I had even planned to end the collection with a 20oz gold version which has had all the design work finished. The problem is that the minting and seats cost is so extreme that I think I’ll have to be pushed into it by someone who wants one and doesn’t care about price. |

This might be an off-topic, but you wont get any respect from hogs when riding motorcycle like that.
This moped looks ugly. Bet it wont bring any joy riding, compared to a motorcycle.
If you are looking for something electric, why not get a scooter ?
I think it looks badass and if you’re using things you purchase to try and earn respect you’re doing it wrong. I wouldn’t want to ride on a scooter personally. I wanted a badass electric bike to play around on. I’m not a hardcore motorcyclist and the idea of taking a long motorcycle trip ain’t for me. That’s what Tesla’s self driving system is for. Quick trips around town though, how could you think this wouldn’t bring joy? For me it was between this or an electric drifting go-cart for an EV toy. I think I made the right decision. This will look great next to my cybertruck. |

In a tweet storm today Elon explained why the cybertruck models have been removed. Apparently they’re going to get rid of the single engine model and adding a 4-motor version. No idea how this will effect preorders as obviously something will need to be done. Hopefully we get the opportunity to upgrade without losing our spot in line. The 3-motor version was so insane I think a 4-motor version might have such unreal statistics it might be a must have. https://twitter.com/wholemarsblog/status/1466485450638458880?s=21 |

I checked, and you definitely were eligible for at least the last 2 shuffles. (I didn't check further back.) I'm pretty sure I was eligible  It is very unlucky: looks like about a 0.4% chance to get skipped 4 months in a row. That's lower than expected, so I checked: (35/135)*(34/134)*(23/123)*(33/133)=0.3% chance indeed! Quoting the great Rasheed Wallace... "Ball don't lie." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4i45kNO-cETry cleaning up your trust network a little bit and stop supporting liars, trust abusers, and users you've had no financial interaction with. Maybe your trust network karma will change a little bit. Not to mention, you shouldn't even care. It's not like you've had a lot of real interactions here that add value to the network at all. Looking at your left trust it looks like you only bully wannabe scammers who likely had no chance to ever scam a satoshi, which is just educating them on how to better fleece users here in the future. |

Sure it would still exist. There are some people here who do things because they're cool and not to try and profit. Granted the amount of posts would likely fall by more than 90% and the posts that continued would likely just be trolls calling the few left doing things here scammers and trying to derail their efforts. There would still probably be people trying to sell things in the goods section (but nobody with any BTC to spend on them because no signature money) and I'm sure the good hearted folks in the technical sections would still be doling out help. This meta section though, toast. Same with gambling.

Most people first hear about Bitcoin and then buy an Alt-coin as their "next bitcoin". There is enough marketing out there to convince you that your own bags have the best bet to succeed. Once you buy in, the transfer fee and selling fee is enough to deter most small holders from taking profits, unless you happen to be very lucky and buy something like Siba Inu.
Lots of fortunes made and a lot more are being destroyed. It makes no sense to have Alt-chain after Alt-chain, L2s after L2s, Launchpads after Launchpads and all of them continuing to make the private sale investors rich. It makes no sense but it keeps happening. Everyone wishes there was a way to drown out all the shill and noise. Yet, now with NFTs, it has been proven again that hype matters the most.
Posts such as these are the anachronistic now instead of the "mention" of crypto or NFT.
I think people want to actually use their crypto. When Bitcoin's fees skyrocketed most of the talent that was developing on that felt let down by developers and decided they needed to form their own chains to keep their businesses running smoothly. I think this is what a lot of people don't understand about the block size debate. The original people who were building on Bitcoin were forced out by poor dev practices and HAD to form their own chains to keep their businesses operating. It wasn't about splitting Bitcoin into Crypto. It was about not being able to wait around for half a decade while a workable solution was put into place. The end result is this... I envisioned a Bitcoin with all of these built solutions being run alongside Bitcoin the way Namecoin does, where miners could pick and choose what they wanted to spend their resources supporting. Unfortunately this was never supported strongly by the community (pools have done their part for a decade now) and instead of using the talent desperate to build on Bitcoin to create supportive side chains, they abandoned it completely to build their own solution where they won't be bamboozled again like was done with the New York Agreement. Thus, we have a market where Bitcoin can really only go one way with regards to market share and things like "crypto" being mentioned instead of Bitcoin. I just hope it stays there and when NFTs start popping up all over mainstream entertainment the narrative isn't changed completely again from crypto to Ethereum. |

The TV show Home Economics with more than 2 million viewers of their latest episode mentioned crypto. One brother was trying to pay back another without his consent and mentioned sending him “crypto” after learning what that was. I found this extremely interesting because it was the first time I’ve seen “crypto” mentioned instead of Bitcoin. This is undoubtedly the result of the rise in altcoins and pretty crazy that crypto will likely begin to surpass Bitcoin in mainstream mentions. Once NFTs start hitting mainstream entertainment, things are gonna get wild… https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_Economics_(TV_series) |

Maybe "Allow the bad posters to continue doing bad things" is your default response, but some of us would prefer it if the forum was slightly nicer than a cesspit.
I don't believe that for a second. Many of the people complaining about news articles being posted are the same idiots who support Vod's spreading of lies, abuse of the trust system, and ultimately trying to extort me for $50,000,000. If people want to stop people from doing bad things, you can start with cleaning up the trust network which has been overtaken by forum users who don't even trade or interact with others on the blockchain at all but finagled their way in by teaming up as a method of bullying others. I personally think there is value in lots of news articles being placed there in a uniform format to document Bitcoin's media coverage over the years. Complaining about it doesn't have value, although we're all getting paid to spam here so enjoy the hypocrite show. Until I see some of the blowhards in here posting legitimate news articles on a regular basis in a way they deem appropriate, then I think everyone should give up the Karen act and quit criticizing those who do put forth an honest effort. |

I don't think even Tommy's father or half brother is convinced Tommy can do it. This is a massive money earner for Tommy, and to be honest if Tommy wins this its probably the most exposure he'll ever have. I might be wrong in this, I just think Tommy hasn't got his heart set on boxing like Tyson. Tyson seems to live, and breathe boxing, and when hes not training it plays into his mental health issues, whereas Tommy appears on various dating shows, and kind of just uses the boxing as something hes alright at. I think its the name pushing his boxing career rather than his ability.
I don't know if I'd go that far. They sure seemed like they believed him when they were ranting like lunatics during the press conference. Everyone keeps saying Tommy is a real fighter, so I'm expecting Jake to get KO'd. There has been mounting evidence that Jake is on steroids and has been for some time now. His latest refusal of drug testing seemed to only confirm that. So to me, it's less about who is the better boxer and more about if skill can beat science. I think it can and years of boxing training beats a few months of steroid use here and there, but I guess we'll see soon enough. |

I never knew these actually got made. Pretty cool to see although it's a bit ironic that they were selling yubikeys and these things while knowing that 80% of the BTC had been funneled off several years earlier by thieves (or possibly an inside job, what do I know). I was a bit sad to part with my yubikey last year, but I still have my butterfly labs mug that I paid about 480 BTC for (lol), so I've still got some great scam memorabilia to remember the crypto wild west and the mistakes that kept so many from becoming insanely disgustingly rich. |

I guess that I would watch the Nets - Knicks game tonight. It seems to be like a delightful game to me. D. Rose's condition is still doubtful for this game. In case he plays, Knicks can fight back much better against Nets in this game. Otherwise, Nets are the overwhelming team here. With K. Durant and Harden especially, they would tear Knicks apart in my opinion. But we will see if I'm wrong or not.
DRose did play in this game, but Harden and Durant had a terrific game. But still the game is very close, 112-110, I thought that game will go into OT. Fournier hit a 3 to tie the game, But Johnson was fouled next hit both free throws and Fournier missed a desperation 3. Now let's watch the Suns vs GSW game. That game was garbage. I don't usually say the refs determined the outcome but they literally told Julius Randall that because of his size he doesn't get the same foul calls as smaller guys. Seriously? How can something be a foul for one and not a foul for someone else depending on body size lol. That was terrible. Zebras got to clean that up it's a bad look on them... Randall is a beast. His time is coming. I’m more interested in the rumor that Kyrie Irving has decided to get vaccinated to rejoin the team… I’m not sure how true that is as it seems a bit unbelievable to me, but that’s what I’m seeing today. I’m also seeing that double vaxxed LeBron caught covid before unvaccinated Kyrie Irving… Hmm… |

Dwight Howard went off today for the Lakers. Finally they give him some minutes with LeBron out due to covid (he was vaccinated). I’ve been saying he’s playing at a hall of fame level this year and it’s like nobody noticed. Glad to see him trending on twitter tonight and getting some respect now that he got the minutes to show up in the box scores.

Awesome contest. If I had more time and talent I'd be all over it. Maybe I'll give it a shot anyway. Thanks Roobet and Hhampuz! |

The worst thing is we could easily have a consensus on the problem, but there seems to be no determination from the administration to fix it.
It might be because we don't have consensus on the solution. Sounds as though everyone recognises there is a problem, but we have many different suggestions about how to resolve it. Some people think more rules are needed, others think more users need to be banned, some say lock the board completely, while others still think more moderators will help. Even I'm starting to wonder what would be the most effective fix. Hear me out. This might sound totally crazy at first, possibly even insane... BUT... I have a solution. We could all just go on living normally and not let too many news articles being posted in the news section ruin our lives. I know I'm nuts, but it's worth a try. If Phoebe can do it... https://tv.getyarn.io/yarn-clip/0d1691cf-ac7a-4edb-8d32-2923f091667c |

$10,000,000 per Bitcoin. Likely even higher as much of the Bitcoin supply is ghost supply that will never again be accessed, plus fomo.
However, as others have stated, this will never happen. There is so much debt and liability out there, not to mention greed, that the government will be able to keep those printing presses running long after any sensible person would have gone onto a new plan. Nothing short of a war will change the dollar I fear. Not even a president wanting to make the change can have any effect (see: JFK & Executive Order 11110).

This is true. People shouldn't just diversify for the sake of the word. True. Diversification is a strategy and like all strategies these have to be moulded to each individual. There is not point buying anything you see just for the sake of being spread in shit markets. Wise choosing still applies. Some people understand the word 'diversification' by exposing themselves not only to traditional markets in stocks and shares but also in the suit of strong projects in the crypto space. This is true diversification - or at least the way I see it  I think diversification goes deeper then just your holdings as well. Income should also be diversified. If you're investing into the crypto space for example, you likely don't want your entire investment based on buying and holding. You might also want to purchase some miners and mine Bitcoin, as well as some GPUs mining altcoins. You may want to advertise for services or sell your own products. You may want to stake some altcoins or provide liquidity pairs. You may even find yourself investing in DAOs, creating NFT collections or building projects in the metaverse. Going outside of crypto this same thing can apply. Most people buy stocks and bonds that pay dividends, but they could also be selling covered call options for additional income, or buy real estate and rent it out in addition to having a regular job. There are so many ways to diversify yourself. Do yourself a favor and do them all. |

My understanding is that the new strain of covid is going to become the dominant strain. This is a good thing because it is even less lethal than the other strains of covid. The explanation I heard from someone educated on these matters is that this strain of covid will likely outcompete the others and weed them out in a sense. This is especially good news for the unvaccinated, as vaccines are showing to not be very effective against this new strain anyway. If you've been on the fence about whether or not you should give in and get the vaccine, I think now you finally have some good news that this pandemic is getting better the only way it ever could have, naturally with time.
