Well in the past few years, whenever the MSM would go big on talking positively about Bitcoin on live TV in order to raise awareness (e.g., Mike Novogratz being trotted out to wax love for Bitcoin, the Winklevii being interviewed about Bitcoin, an SNL comedy skit about Bitcoin, Ellen talking about Bitcoin on her talk show, Elon Musk on SNL talking about Bitcoin and Doge), it would be right before a massive bull trap incoming. That's always been part of the whale insider playbook. They just love to trap the n00bs.

THAT's why I'm always sus on that stuff.

Of course

1. I hope I'm wrong

2. Long term HODLers unaffected  

You're not just imagining the similarities, Dr. Fauci was also behind the AIDS scare as well in order to profit from it (what a shock!). This book, written by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and extremely well-researched and cited, talks about that very subject:

Gee, sound familiar? Fauci using the exact same playbook for Covid.

Well I mean, I've seen your prior posts, so I figured you were. But then why did you say that about eth?

We've had sooooo many accounts come into the WO thread over the years, that make a blanket statement about how ETH is better, how it could "flippen" BTC, or how it is a valid competitor to BTC. But whenever I've challenged them on those statements and asked for a point-by-point debate, they've all tucked tail and vanished. Because they can't even believe their own bullshit.

So you'll have to forgive my bluntness about it. But bluntness and debate is the only way to confront and dispel the delusions about ETH having any value to it at all. The emperor has no clothes. All the ETH adherents care about is its price and number go up. That's it. Which is evidenced by their disappearing act when confronted with reality.

The biggest statement I can make about ETH is that, if it were to disappear tomorrow, mankind would lose absolutely nothing. There would be no regression. That's why it has no value.

You could not say the same for Bitcoin.

Perhaps, but I am always sus on timing of such MSM displays.

The bigger question is why now?

It is not.

Do you want to actually debate this statement, or like everyone else do you want to make a blanket generalized statement without evidence to support it?

Momentum in price is not evidence that ETH contributes anything.

Great story Jimbo! And so true about ETH.

I remember the days on the WO thread when ETH (then ETC) was around $0.50/etc, and even Adam was going around saying "Anyone want to buy 1000 etc from me? Lol."

No one that had looked into ETC would take him up on it. That spoke volumes.


Same here. The potential to make any profit from ETH never mattered to me, what mattered is that it had all the hallmarks of a scamcoin from the very beginning. And since then nothing has changed, except that the scam has gotten bigger, and worse. The people involved are being gaslit into believing something that will never be true.

Since it appears it is a slow day and ChartBuddy is having all the fun, here's some alt news that the MSM refuses to cover:

OT: Watch what the politicians do, not what they say.

What they say: "We need more affordable home building in the U.S. !"

What they do: https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/softwood-lumber-1.6262036

When you put in even 5 minutes of research into shitEthereum to find out that it's a giant scam platform with zero redeeming humanitarian value long term, then you realize that investing in shitEthereum is both immoral and antithetical to the goals of Bitcoin. The only people that are going to get wealthy with shitEthereum are Vitalik and all the other scammers who he sold his pre-mined coins to.

Also, beware the so-called "crypto experts" who start off evangelizing Bitcoin, only to pivot away to some shitcoin after they have gained their followers' trust. They were a bullshit wolf-in-sheeps-clothing all along who never truly believed in the ideology and goals of Bitcoin.

It's like I told ya dude. Jack was the face man of Twitter, but he was ultimately beholden to the board and the investors. They were the ones pulling the strings. Often he got pushback when he stood his ground on things, or got overruled.

I'm sure that the pressure to implement policies and practices that he was not happy about, and went against his moral compass, ultimately lead to his ouster.

The sanest corporate man in an insane corporate world. He knows what's what and what is coming.

The fact that he knows that there's no other better place to invest $3.57 Billion, including in share buybacks, should speak VOLUMES.

But I'm sure there are other companies doing the same on the DL, they are just not advertising it.

I probably won't be participating in that thread as much moving forward either. The facts, data, and stats have been presented. The evidence is overwhelming. The case has been made. There's nothing else to say on the topic. Further evidence revealed in the coming years will only strengthen the argument. In ten years, this will all be looked back upon as the great "WITFH?" moment of our time.

When pro-vaxxers starting calling the vaccine ADRs/death stats and data published by the CDC themselves as "fake news" because it didn't fit their pro-vaxx narrative, that's when I checked out.

RIP Twitter.

I could be wrong here, but it's my understanding is that Jack was the only person standing in the way of Twitter becoming more of an aggressively ad-riddled, invasive data collecting, free-speech censored, Facebook-like toxic cesspool.

Sounds like he no longer wanted to play along with the greedy wealthy investors.

Isn't it obvious?

Because antiviral is cheap (in some parts of the world, nearly free), excellent safety track record, and highly effective against CV19.

This was never about health. It's about money.

What about Tesla's Starlink? You might be eligible for the program in your area, not sure.

I guess what I mean is, although they put on a front, the whole "Bitcoin will change the world" idea is just a slogan to many of them.

It really *is* changing the world, and we are witnessing it in real time. But many were too busy focused on cashing out to fiat and making their small profit (to buy some trinket) to care.

I feel like over the years, we've seen these kinds of accounts come and go.

They come in, talk a big game about buying Bitcoin because libertarian ideology and how they are going to hodl forever.

Then in just a short time they quietly hit some pitiful goal and sell all, or quietly panic sell all.

Then they disappear from the forum, never to be heard from again.

It is a logical fallacy to assume that she had a more adverse reaction to the virus because she was unvaxxed. Her symptoms could have been just as bad with vaccination, but you will never know that.


Don't count on it. This virus is not the kind that can be "eliminated" by science. It will stick around in the populous forever, just like the flu virus. It will come and go every year. And vaxxed people will contract and spread it, just as the unvaxxed will. Our only hope is that it mutates and weakens further over time.

---

Then why are their infection rates skyrocketing? Why are they going back into lockdown? Why are their hospitals full of vaxxed people? I thought full vaccination was supposed to stop the spread of the virus, and restore freedoms?

Wow, just wow. Do you guys even hear yourselves anymore? Talk about living in a bubble echo chamber.


Someone choses to neither read the data, nor extrapolate the proper math.  

[moderator's note: consecutive posts merged]

But in my circle of friends, relatives and colleagues, no one has died from Covid, or even has had bad symptoms. A few have gotten it, yes, and recovered within days. "Felt like a flu" they said.

Are we going to just go by what we see around us, or should we go by science data and statistics?

Btw, you had an uncle that by your own admission was very old, and had already had a stroke. That's called a comorbidity.

People that have lost loved ones to these vaccines would say the same. But I guess that all the millions of otherwise healthy people that have either died or had serious medical ADRs within just days or weeks of taking the vaccine don't matter to you? There is documented proof that these vaccines kill or seriously harm MORE people than they save, and some of data is from the CDC and the drug companies themselves.
https://www.skirsch.com/covid/VaccineEssentials.pdf

But as long as someone that is presumably "saved" (in your mind) by a vaccine is a family member, that's all that counts?

Hmmm...interesting moral hazard.

EDIT: Btw, there was a time not too long ago, and for decades, that if a drug company were in drug trials and that drug killed or even harmed so much as 100 people, they would stop the trial and shelve the drug candidate. Because that drug was deemed toxic and they knew that the FDA would absolutely not approve it.

Now we have vaccines out there that are not even FDA approved, with an ADR rate of 2.4M in the span of a single year. Fucking unbelievable that people are defending this.
