Pop quiz: Convince an average low/middle class fiat-loving law-abiding person who doesnt believe in a failing or fraudlent banking system that they should use bitcoin, without talking about its price or making profit by trading it. Present what benefits they will reap by using bitcoin as opposed to banks, VISA, google pay, venmo, etc. Anything besides capital gain?
You are presenting false parameters in your shilling argument, tera beara... bitcoin is not merely meant to serve as a payment system, even though it may well accomplish such common use in that direction in the future, perhaps, but not necessarily in order to still have value and utility. Yeah, if you create your own strawman, then you can more easily make some dumb -ass pie in the sky argument, that is not connected with reality. If you are saying there are false parameters, you must be admitting bitcoin is only for overthrowing the fed, committing crimes, and/or making a profit... (or overthrowing the fed so you dont have to taxes on the profits) Which of those payment methods are you in control of all your own money? Gpay, VISA, Venmo: all built on top of the banking infrastructure, who hold your money and issue you IOUs. Replace banks with bitcoin, which is in your control. What percentage of people ever have issues with control of their bank account? (mostly criminals) What percentage of bitcoiners get their wallets hacked or coins lost? What percentage of bitcoiners will get their wallets hacked or coins lost when they are average people? Does the average person even have anything to lose? It's mostly just in and out paycheck to paycheck

It's mostly just in and out paycheck to paycheck (1) Your bank is fractionally reserved, and they make a killing by lending off your money while giving you negative return (due to inflation, another big problem with fiat and the Fed). Do you think that a central authority printing whatever they want to is a good thing? In 30 years, a millionaire salary will be the poverty wage as a result of this. (2) Probably very few who are careful... funny how this credit company was hacked, and hundreds of millions of people had their info stolen by middle-east hackers recently. The executives sold all their shares a month in advance of course. (3) Better be careful then. (4) Do any of us have anything to lose? But I agree - they should take action if they are not satisfied financially.

VISA has been hacked more times than i can count. just google "VISA cards hacked" Bitcoin is good for averting corruption in countries like mine When i own have a very big company with a well secured bitcoin wallet, it is only with a block explorer and/or a public key that i will notice money creeping out of company wallet. Then i will subsequently ask the right office to explain that withdrawal. Same for universities taking tuition fees from students and much more. The most fascinating part is how i am able to buy mobile credits for my sister all the way in Canada using bitcoin from Ghana. Same currency everywhere.

they are close man, depends on which data set you use, everything still looks ok on stamp, GDAX not so much A couple little wicks under the July 15 log line and the 150DMA I don't mind, they put some real meat down there and we are in for trouble. Of course the flip side of danger is opportunity, I really think if the bears fail here they are done.

Here's a ray of light. It is currently more expensive to go down 1500 dollars than it is to go to 25k,

We currently have Nazi scientists studying Trevon James to determine if he's the missing link or not.

Close-up on the subject of my previous post. Explains why sub-$10k dips are being bought. They are so close to the longer term mean trendline.

The Jews on CucksFinex will obviously *attempt* to manipulate the market to preserve that trendline. But there is the fact that last time there was a run on tethers - and in turn a flight to BTC - the market pumped hard and this time it's crashing instead. So that's bearish and means people are dumping tether --> BTC --> fiat instead of staying in BTC. Most BTC that is dumped for fiat is never used to buy BTC again, and thus requires more greater fools to keep the scheme running or the centralized miners and whales become perma bag holders. Whether the manipulators attempt to preserve that trendline or not is entirely determined by how many greater fools they believe exist, but we might have already seen the general public's rush to craptocurrency during the last runup and the only people left are those guys "who can't write a $500 check".

Lets have a look at the RSI long range. We are now at one of those lower peaks which followed all previous corrections in the last 2 years. So that would appear to raise 2 possibilities based on precedents: 1. it's an overheat-fan propellor type correction and will retrace back up the "spinner" to around 13,500 by mid February 2. if the 1-Week RSI really gets into the oversold zone then we could be in for another extended consolidation that may last at least the whole year

This is reminding me of the $800 phase in early 2014. I'd prefer a violent plunge to rip everyone's baby blue panties to shreds and then we can get down to business.
It reminds me of the period between April 2013 and August/September 2013 where the price wobbled around the $100 mark (+/- 20$) The price fell from $260 to $50.. then jumped around like crazy for a week or so.... then stabilised around $100 for several months. There must be more than 100 times the Bitcoiners there were 5 years ago, so I have a feeling $10000 is the new $100 and probably a very good buying opportunity.

gemz is baaaaack and im at the international gem show  weee Tucson Gem show, nice, are you one of those kids hanging out around Howard Jonson's? Short gems. The boomercucks put women up on a pedestal, thus creating these ultra-demanding, sense of entitlement housewives and younger generation daddy's princess monsters. Nobody wants to marry these creatures. When the economy blows up, the capability of cuckolds trying to position themselves as expendable provider by spamming women with money after the woman fails to get the "alpha male" to commit also implodes. Diamonds to zero.
