I know exactly what happened as that shit happens to me often. His tweet about Bitcoin had repercussions. Real life ones that would impact his business and the ability to move forward on his projects. They pretty much told him to shut up about Gamestonk and Bitcoin or else.

This lead to him posting that he will be off of twitter for a while.

Then he was like...fuck it...I'll just post some shit about Doge to show people that I'm not seriously endorsing anything, that he's just having fun on twitter.

He is now openly fucking with those that threatened him.

....

Musk is just lashing out.

I get what you are saying, as I had the same thoughts.

But what kind of fucked up world do we live in, where the Michael Saylors and the Winklevosses of the world can sing the praises of Bitcoin all day every day, but the Elon Musks of the world are threatened and told to shut up about it? That distracting the world with shitcoin and meme stonk talk is ok'ed and encouraged?

Meanwhile billionaires are secretly taking large positions in Bitcoin, large hedge funds and corporations are secretly doing the same, banks and payment processors are looking to become future custodians of Bitcoin, and all the while the media is telling Average Joe that Bitcoin is a scam, a meme, a bubble, to stay away, etc. ?? Still to this day, 10 years after inception, they are still telling the public that.

I've never seen anything like this in my lifetime. This shit is fucking unbelievable. It's gone full retard now.

It's no wonder why Average Joe is poor (and staying poor).

Good morning Bitcoinland.



Still bouncing along sideways in the $3xxxx range... currently $36587USD/$46911CAD (Bitcoinaverage)

Whoop-dee-freaking-doo.

Elon Musk?

I can't believe how many people are taking his shenanigans seriously.

He's just laughing his head off at the stupidity and gullibility of social media users.

Plot twist: he's just talking his book.  Cool

'cause there is not enough bitcoin for everyone, in their eyes, obviously.
Doge is people's money-certainly it is said in jest.
That said, investment 'people' do not picture bitcoin as a transactional currency, just a SOV right now.
S-coin #1 is also unusable for anything else, but larger scale speculation, with the cost of contract tx being about $20-40 and a regular send being $5-6.
So, can doge, being a cheap meme, be prompt up to be tx layer? The money for 'people'?
I say NO with 99% probability, but then, what IS or rather what would be, eventually?

I can't claim to understand what Musk is doing... he seems to enjoy playing with DOGE, and almost seems to like to fantasize about it becoming the "money of the world".  I think he would get a kick out of it if he could cause it to disrupt bitcoin to whatever extent.  Or maybe he's just putting out smokescreens to manipulate the markets... or he's just bored.  No idea really.

As to the media pushing Avg Joe away from the corn... God I don't know how to read this either.  There is no doubt the media is  no longer anything CLOSE to unbiased anymore, and it is clear the foundational aspects of bitcoin work against what the people in those institutions believe in.  It is not going to help with their shared goals of the whole "great reset" type of world order with CBDCs sucking value away from the rich while airdropping on the poor etc etc...

On the other hand the people at the top of the bell curve pretty much always remain asleep until the revolution is nearly over.  It could just be that they are just THAT average.

I don't know.

'things' are never the same as the last time....so, an unlikely scenario.
Someone could have drawn the same 'scheme' during 2017 (see March-April 2017, for example), pointing back at 2013...and they did.
The resulting structure/chart trajectory was very different.

Here's the difference:

1. Winklevoss = their business is bitcoin. They run an exchange. They can talk about Bitcoin.
2. Michael Saylor = their company put their reserves in Bitcoin. He can talk about Bitcoin. He even has a conference now Bitcoin for Corporations.
3. Elon Musk = he's got an electric car company and a spaceship company. His attackers/lawyers/media/shareholders don't like him talking about anything else. Despite being the richest man in the world, he can't talk about anything else if it will somehow affect his core businesses, or the perception of it thereof.

This will change if his company and board all decide together with him that the company would put their cash reserves into bitcoin as well, just like MicroStrategy did. Then, he'll be allowed to announce it to the public because that would push share prices up.

Nobody is taking my order on Purse for 33% off of silver coins.

It still puts the price just above spot.

i give 10 merits...


edited, stopped offer...


Dang! its almost as if I have no incentive to share a few good working blockchain projects anymore.  Wink

Cardano - the amount of research behind the project is insane!

Polkadot - Its outperforming other cryptos for a reason

Chainlink - Putting non blockchain info ON the blockchain.

Cosmos - Blockchain interoperability that works, need I say more?


jesus, i wasn´t inviting brainless shitcoinery with my post. i was genuinly searching for viable, innovative blockchain products. you just listed a bunch of scammy retarded vulgar, vomit inducing bullshit and i hope it was satirical.



Your repulsed bias towards viable functioning products that make sense is more puzzling than trying to understand a kid that hates chocolate. Go figure what's satirical now.

As someone who actually buys PMs from time to time, I can say this with a straight face:

I can pretty much guarantee you that both the Gold and Silver price will be much lower in 4-5 years. And premiums will be extremely low.

Seen this movie before.

Elon playing with the Doge boys again, must be interesting making a tweet and having such an impact on the market like that. I noticed he's removed his #bitcoin title too

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1357241340313141249

Doge, really? Proof that even forward thinking billionaires can be woefully ignorant.

As long as he keeps treating Bitcoin (as well as crypto in general) as a joke and not taking it seriously, he can rightly fk off.

That guy is a clown.

he's just having fun. isn't it entertaining to see the market blow up after he posted not an endorsement, but a meme, and it was not the first time doge appeared in his tweets...

I don't really care if he is "having fun".

The time for Bitcoin to be taking seriously in the public eye is now. It is a serious, sound financial asset.

If he was a responsible person, he'd be telling his followers that DOGE is a complete shitcoin and nothing more, and that they should stay far away from it.

Instead, he's doing the opposite. And some people will be taking him very seriously.

This is why the public continues to remain uneducated and ignorant about Bitcoin, because (along with all crypto) it is treated like a meme and a scam, even by highly visible people.

i'm not his fan or anything, but if you blindly buy the coin because he memed it, it's on you. he never articulated why doge is worthy. it's obvious pump for fun for him...

I don't know... You are a little older than me.  I remember when they used to at least PRETEND to be even and unbiased.  Now they are so ridiculously partisan and downright manipulative and evil.  Seems like pure propaganda now.  And the masses are swallowing it all whole.

Media bias is a lot older than me... even a lot older than William Randolph Hearst.

When I was a schoolboy in the 1950s, they taught us not to believe everything we read in the newspapers. We later extrapolated that to include radio and television. Now of course we have to include the internet.

In fact the internet is worst of all because of social media. Any attention-seeking idiot can post anything and some sucker will believe it.

Doesn't that get away with the uBlock add-on? I don't have the ads but the mood's pissy anyway, so not sure if blocking the ads will make a difference.
