In which Lambie Slayer's erstwhile boyfriend disses BTC people with 2 XRP tweets. Im still trying to pray the gay away so I project my secret desires onto the venerable Slayer who was kind enough to dox Izabella Kaminska https://twitter.com/izakaminska in 2015 and put a complete stop to her years long relentless crusade of bear trolling of this thread.


Good job Lambie!

Your welcome.

Just bc she is scared to come back here for fear of her old emails being released to the public by some unknown actor   doesn't mean she will ever stop writing negative Bitcoin articles.

We scarred her for life as we mocked her for being very aware of Bitcoin so early but never managing to buy any and get rich. She was bitter bc she had to wage slave away for a banker propaganda blog, she will always be a bitter hater, its not a surprise.

I'm going to take a less popular position and say that she just needs some bitcoiner dick.
I'll take one for the team if I have to.

Bro, after "hearing" about her personal emails, pretty sure she really needed some.  Shortly after getting doxed she literally tweeted that she was going on a vacation in a secluded cabin to get away from and detox from wifi. I think the internet kinda ruined her life bc she could not turn it off.

She has written so many articles about how Bitcoin must fail that I dont know how she is going to rationalize the next few decades as we dominate the financial system. Her and Stolfi will probably meet up for a joint suicide.

I totally agree. I went almost all out in 2015 when I bought my Ducati for 30 BTC.

Now, not so much. on thursday I actually have an appointment with the bank to discuss "selling my house for bitcoin". That is, taking out a second mortgage on the huge surplus value of my house, reorganising my debts and then hopefully ending up with a sizeable amount to increase my stash. I mean, the money is free man, 1.55% is less then inflation....

To each his own. If your goal was getting a Ducati, you have reached it, and that's that. The thought of riding a $300k motorbike can be upsetting though... Eyes on the road, ride safely!

I don't care (never really cared) about Lambos and other pointless luxuries (OK, maybe a Tesla). BTC gives (will give) me the freedom to quit my job early, to pursue a hobby, to travel, to live life without having to depend on a salary, to be free, whatever "free" means to each of us. No point in spending it now on stuff I don't really need. Merely owning it is enough for me, for now. Enjoying it immensely!

Even if it collapses (which it won't), I'm good. I'll survive.

Edit: I bought my Trezor for around 0.13 BTC. Not cheap!

Yeah, getting the Ducati was a very important goal, and I certainly do not regret getting it. I feel like a rockstar every second I ride it. Certainly worth $300k.

I also bought basically every other material thing I needed, mostly computers and electronics. But now, my goal is almost exactly the same as yours; work less. I like my work a lot, but 38 hours / week until I'm 67 leaves too little time for other activities. My plan is to get enough btc to be able to work 32 hours, take more hollidays and to quit working at say age 60.

The other day I stumbled upon one of the last posts of bones261 in another thread. It seems that he sold too. Not that he had a huge stash, but still.

This. Is. Bad.

I wish that I had the BTC to set up a seastead.   Atm I only have something like 2 bitcents left.  It's one of the reasons that I decided to lose my signature. Gambling just isn't something that I should be immersed in. Although I will still be keeping tabs on the Game protect thread. (I won't become one of his clients though.) However, although I'm BTC poor, I'm rich in source merit to give out. I have well over 300 to give out.

No such thing as a triple top, lets break this now

I really hope the major didn't really sell all of his stash at $4K-

The other day I stumbled upon one of the last posts of bones261 in another thread. It seems that he sold. Not that he had a huge stash, but still.

I wonder how many other good people we will be losing along this bumpy journey. Will never understand why people go ALL-OUT. Why not hodl even a little stash just in case... even if you lost faith?

When I see the first pages of this very same thread I see a lot of nicks that are no longer here. It is easy to notice because there are almost no hats. IIRC jojo is the first one that appears. I have always though that most of them already reached their targets and are now too busy spending their fortune while still hodling a good chunk of BTC... Maybe reality is much uglier than that.

HODL.

Just no.  

Buying Bitcoin on credit is a way to set yourself up for all sorts of bad thinking when the next inevitable dip comes.

By definition, mortgage money is money you cannot afford to lose.  

Don’t do it.  Find ways to invest smaller amounts.

Thinking about going all out is so 2015. (especially when it is down 50%+ from its ATH) That was the year I was afraid of bitcoin crashing to zero and I had no coins at that time. I was all out.

After I witnessed the pump in 2017, I realized that bitcoin cannot go to zero even if it wanted to. (What...You thought bitcoin wasn't a living organism?)

People just won't let it happen. (It is certainly not dying.)

No.

Only invest what you can afford to lose.

It is clearly a rising doowopawiggabee.

Almost always indicates continuing confusion.

Hey, WO`s!!! 

 Is there anyone here who can tell me what's wrong with monero? 
Of course, aside from the fact that the monero aren't BTC.


Otherwise, having learned all the information available to me about him, I have too suspiciously positive an opinion about him...

It has unlimited emissions.  Which means it will perpetually underperform.  

Sadly, Monero is br0ke

This moment the dude and his co-HODLing brother are witnessing a small-ish pump

Both taking our imaginary ukele And performing a small dance while stroking out ukelele

haha I want to save you

It has under performed a bit now and we shouldn't talk here.

JJG will have a knicker bunching problem.


I'm holding on for same reasons as these guys. We've seen better.


I don't see better looking round at the world only a decline.



I plan to spread the love.    But if that's not enough?

I think that it boils down to over-investing on hype, and not having a plan to either continue to buy all the way down or merely approach from a more reasonable dollar cost averaging approach - and none of them can be get rich quick schemes, because even the best case scenarios, it will usually take a decently long time to get rich (doesn't come quick).

HODL.

How the hell are you going to get rich, if you cannot defer gratification?  There were guys showing off what they bought because they got a 3x return on a few thousand dollar investment... So, yeah, they get a nice toy for $10k when they cashed out at $700 or maybe they sold at $3k on the way up the first time around... Either way, there is NOT an attempt to employ a long enough time horizon...

And, seems to me that guys who are cashing out some value in the 4-6 year range, but only cashing out those older coins, are going to do much better.

I do understand that sometimes there can be some luck too... I mean, buying in the $250s to $600s and ending up with an average of $400 coins, and then cashing out a portion of them at $13k feels pretty damned good, in the event that you still have some coins, so you are prepared for more up, even if you are not sure about whether MOAR up is going to come.

In the end, NOT easy to HODL through so much of these difficult times and even long periods of consolidation... remember ONLY a few days of the year are UP days, and sometimes it is difficult to be in those UP days unless you are just IN all of the time..

hahahahahaha

You, julian071, are exactly one of the examples that I thought of when I was writing my above response.. a kind of bragging when the price went up and taking some profits... way too much and too early.

Regarding leveraging your house, that is very risky, and yeah, it worked out for Elwar, but he completely sold his house, instead of mortgaging it... so a very risky proposition, that is for sure.. and definitely a need to make sure that your cashflow is covered in the even that BTC prices do not go shooting up.

Doesn't that just make it a not deflationary asset?
 BTC is cool to use for accumulation, but it's a shame to sell it because tomorrow it will be more expensive than yesterday!

 And the Monero will always have a price formed by market demand. Won't it?

So if I understand correctly your argument is a small ongoing emission forever, that continues to make there a value in continuing mining is equivalent to instant infinite coins? or troll?

Who will mine BTC after no reward, in your opinion? robin hood?   or perhaps  The hooded claw. Whoever you will be at their mercy.

It ok you will all be retired, for BTC its later on. Bum

Brutal on your part, but fair.
