JayJuanGee, LFC_Bitcoin, philipma1957, fillippone, xhomerx10 ... Friends, if someone has a couple of extra merits, please read the history of messages below the presented persons, as they are on the verge of a new rank. and, if your generosity knows no bounds, feel free to send merit to El duderino_, as the 5,000 merit threshold is no joke.

Let me know if I forgot to mention anyone.

It's very nice of you to think of me, but please, don't waste any merits on me just to make me level up.
I have been here since 2013 and I have no merit ego to feed, I'm quite happy where I am, and also, Legendary accounts are more prone to hacking/hijacking, give the merits to some deserving n00b that needs to level up instead.
And for gods sake, don't merit this post you idiots.

I fully agree with you on this. Merit should be given based on post content, not just to help someone level up.

+1 from me.

Sadly it appears he has passed away. If you’d like to leave some kind words or memories about him the link below is the place to do it.

Elwar, say it aint so?

... sold out bulls have made the worst trolls.

... hoping he hasn't go full fiat ... never go full fiat/retarded



... fiat is a mental illness, a brain cage to enslave you to the beastly system

No man, I found this great new token that's going to be the next Bitcoin but shinier. It will have longer addresses and there will be MORE coins. Only 90% pre-mine with trillions of coins remaining.

This is going to be HUGE!

Merdecoin...it's the future!

I want in!!

Ehi! I struggled a few weeks to get past 5k and nobody setup a merit post for this! /j
I am little short on my merit stash, sent all I have to Arrie.

serveia.com now has 500

soliton now has 240

Thanks, Phil, I appreciate. Never been a merit whore and I get my merits almost exclusively by posting in this thread. Thanks!

IF someone want to read the whole report of Bitcoin from citi.

https://ir.citi.com/peFJTnzeEoMSIAEFlwH12VeM5d%2BCckWNrsO9lxpmyWezrz5V%2Bx%2FfRvm0gv6cWRpDHGWtIk7sTME%3D

I read/skimmed the whole paper.

Section 5, the last section, that outlines "concerns moving forward" had a doozy right off the bat, very fucking telling about institutional investors:

Capital Efficiency:
One of the concerns that came up most frequently in the interviews we conducted with industry participants was frustration about the lack of capital efficiency in the way both Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are utilized. All of the trading and financing occurring with these cryptocurrencies is pre-funded and often over collateralized. For institutional investors, this means their capital would be effectively locked up. There is no unsecured financing available. Leverage in the system is limited and operates more like a Reg T margin account where participants can only lever their direct account holdings by 100% and no more. At best, a wallet with 10 Bitcoin valued at $40,000 each ($400,000) would only be able to have lending lines equivalent to $800,000 (200% gross) and they would need to leave the $400,000 of Bitcoin they actually own with the entity loaning them the $800,000 as collateral — further reducing their actual leverage.  Many institutional investors seek much higher velocity of leverage on their money, often putting down as little as 10% in certain investments in order to have access to a much larger exposure.

No 'unsecured financing' available? Capital locked up? Not enough leverage? Oh the horror! Boo hoo!

These fucking greedy, corrupt, sons of bitches... I swear.

Sorry, can't help myself. I'm a complete degenerate.  

Yeah, well I don't want them, so I sent them back to you.

It seems that it might be bear hunting season.

Goodnight WO’s.

I fully agree with you on this. Merit should be given based on post content, not just to help someone level up.

In fact, my post was an unambiguous appeal for someone with some added merit to spend a little time checking the message history of those in question.

You correctly noted that you have been here since 2013, which is why you, like no one else, deserve a legendary rank. Although I don’t know you at all, it’s quite obvious to me that you realized the value of bitcoin before others, including me. And regarding the security of your account, I think you exaggerated your concerns a little, since your account can be attractive to hack even at the rank of the hero. But all this does not change the fact that it is time for you to advance in rank, after all, you may well send some of the merit you received to those inexperienced users you are talking about.

p.s. I've been quoted 11 times, but Arriemoller is still not legendary.           

And let's keep it that way, shall we.

Don't worry man. He'll be Legendary tomorrow. Because Legendaries don't need help to become Legendaries. They just are.

I remember back in the old days, I used to be a cracker in an IRC channel (cracking pr0n sites for the lulz). Users made requests for specific sites, and we crackers used wordlists and proxy servers to crack the sites for them and supplying them with a working password. I used to specifically ask the users to thank me ONLY if the password I supplied worked. Thanking me for a non-working password (just for the effort) was pointless to me.

Same with merits. No need to force it...

I smell an ant pump...

I smell $50k... 

[Searing]

I smell an ant pump...

I smell $50k...  

I just sold some stuff on eBay I find 'attic mining' crap out of my attic by selling it on eBay is the way to go now.

Stuff I would otherwise die with..is the way to 'mine' BTC now.

Thus I bought $60 from that 'windfall' of an eBay sale and got some BTC dust off of Coinbase.

We KNOW it is gonna dump now. (my bad...I always buy HIGH and HODL..the buy HIGH and SELL low makes me too distraught!)

No matter how LOW the BTC price goes after I buy some...if I HODL I can always, no matter how LOW it goes, convince myself all will be fine!

Eventually, this has been true since I got into BTC/Crypto in 2013!

This How I Roll ....HODL'ing is the only respite for those of us who always buy at the high!

It's a gift! (sorry for the 'coming' dip in BTC price....me bad)

Just imagine an Elon pump happening right now, taking us to $60k. Wouldn't that be something?

But maybe the way of the ants is healthier...
