To further expand our cryptocurrency options for Pornhub Premium, we're excited to announce that we now accept Bitcoin & Litecoin as payment methods! Coin http://bit.ly/3biOfPq
https://twitter.com/pornhub_premium/status/1300942357555183617

BROKE: Mass adoption incoming
WOKE: Which degenerate is going to pay for premium subscription?
AWOKE: Pornhub is meant for degenerates!


Little Known Fact:
During Italian lockdown Pornhub gave free premium access to the whole italian population.

The Italian stallion seems to know a lot about this particular topic.



TBH, I'm not really impressed with the volume so far. I know this isn't going to be a popular opinion, but it feels as if a single entity (or a small whale group) controls everything in the market float from ~$10,5k to $12k. And it looks as if their mega pump hasn't really attracted other whale traders en masse at this point.

It seems nothing has really changed from when I posted this. Until other whale traders come in to play, this single entity is just going to keep splashing around and barting between $11K-12K.

Oh Gawd!!!!  Moar single entity theories.

But what I do NOT believe is that there are no other crypto projects that are worthy experiments or fill roles bitcoin cannot or will not.  Just that the VAST (over 99%) majority of them are useless at best and scams at worst.

Ah yes, but therein your statement lies the difference.

1. Once you strip down a cryptocurrency to it's bare, basic usage as a secure SoV and digital online exchange asset, Bitcoin becomes all anyone will ever need.

2. Once you separate what a crypto can do for you *today*, vs. what all the shitcoins purport to do for the far-away future (i.e., solutions looking for hypothetical, non-critical problems that don't really exist, ergo purely speculative bs with no basis in reality), Bitcoin is still the only cryptocurrency anyone will ever need.

Judged against this criteria, the 99% you mentioned above suddenly becomes 100%.

"Worthy experiments" (completely subjective btw) should hold no monetary value. See Theranos for example.

Filling hypothetical, made-up roles that aren't even a problem should hold no monetary value.

The current support line was a fake support line. It was a "delusional support line" from the first pump. Smiley

Dunno what you are smoking but the support line was barely scratched for a few minutes (10 minutes total if you count all the dips), at around 11200$-ish.

That is simply the most narrow minded thought process possible When it comes to pow virtual coins.

But as long as you want it to be that way you are entitled to do believe that.

Not that I think we need 2000  virtual pow coins .
I do think only BTC should use sha-256 algorithm I only like 1 coin per algorithm .

But hey why not think what you like about BTC.

They are not going to make it just BTC

and they are not going to make it just one coin per algorithm . So we both want something we aint getten. {sic}

Look at reality for a moment. Buying btc and selling it for profit (or loss) currently comprises 99.9999999999999999999999% of all use case activity. That is the current reality. Presumably, that will still be the future reality. And no one seems unhappy about it.

So here we are, 10 years on, doing the same exactly thing with bitcoin that we were doing a decade ago. SoV and digital exchange. Nothing more, nothing less. 10 years from now....same damn thing. 30 years from now, probably same damn thing.

Trying to PM Bawb.  But his deletion spree has downgraded him to no PMs.  Heh... that''s one strategy.

But since I can't PM him I will just type this here... I have some interesting audio gear for sale... any of you live near Dallas and want to buy some good stuff here it is:

Toft ATB 24 - 3500
SSL Alphalink Madi-AX 24 channel converters - 1500
MOTU M64 MADI to USB interface - 400

The whole thing all at once - 4k, why not.

PM me if you want details... I am already wrecking my opsec enough as it is.

Obviously I'll take bitcoin. Smiley

But...bbut....literally billions of $$$ worth of bitcoin can move around from wallet address to wallet address, and no goods or services are exchanged in the process. It just moved. And just because you personally just exchanged bitcoin for a service, doesn't mean other people routinely do.

I'm saying the hodling of bitcoin as a SoV, and buying/selling it on exchanges for fiat, outweighs using it as a currency to directly buy goods/services by MANY MANY orders of magnitude. One could even make the argument that nearly a decade ago it was used more as a currency than it is being used today.

I don't know how some people expected this to go to the moon without really retesting the previous huge resistance. For full year, we were trying to break 10500 and now we should go to ATH or 16k without retesting it but for 10 minutes in that flash crash from the first time we went to 12k.

No chance, zero logic in that. That level needs to be properly tested for bull run to continue.


Tone Vays and some of his following used to spout out that kind of nonsense regarding having to retest $1,300, and they were arguing that point for much of 2018, 2019 and maybe even in 2020... it's just nonsense talk to say that we "have to" test down support before we are ready and able to go up.

What I fucking hate is that this is lowering my chances to accumulate bitcoins trading alts as they shit themselves as soon as bitcoin farts.

You should not be fucking around with alts anyhow.  Many of us in this thread are neither here to talk about shitcoins nor to hear about other members and their poor judgement choices to be involved in shitcoins.
