Haha found this funny article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamhartung/2017/08/15/a-bitcoin-is-worth-4000-why-you-probably-should-not-own-one/?sh=40081f113b08Pay attention to the date it was published (Aug 2017). The conclusion was the best part haha: Unless you are a professional trader, or you simply want to gamble, stay away from Bitcoins. They have no inherent value, because they are a currency which represents value rather than having value themselves. The Bitcoin currency is not managed by any government agency, nor is it backed by any government. Bitcoin values are purely dependent upon holders having faith they will continue to have value. Right now the market looks a lot more like tulip mania than careful investing. So beware guys, Bitcoin is a bubble. ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) If Tulips would have lasted 4ever.. then everyone would have HODL-ed TuLips!!! ![Cheesy](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

There must be thousands of such articles. That one was published in Forbes, which is prestigious, but I think a compilation of articles warning that Bitcoin had no intrinsic value and the like would be enough to write a book. Btw, thanks to xhomerx10 for designing my new hat. I wonder if he got paid to make that article and tell the public that bitcoin is not worth the investment because, as an expert, he should search for more info about bitcoin before writing the article. Many articles about the bad investment in bitcoin, but the author does not know anything about bitcoin and does not follow the bitcoin journey from the beginning until now. It seems the guy got fired after publishing this article (or 3 months later) as his employers understood he know shit about the topic ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FUTDH5kA.jpg&t=665&c=le534io94pZtFA)

Methinks.. ARE you an A-hole just because some people think your are one? What about the people who thing they are A-holes for using that symbol? Are they all A-holes because some people think they are? I guess it depends on whose opinions you give a shit about, if any..

Are they all A-holes because some people think they are? I guess it depends on whose opinions you give a shit about, if any.. Most important is what eddie said. Whose opinion do you care about? My POV is that the rainbow was never 'taken'. My daughter uses rainbows, and she's not gay - straight ppl can still use rainbows. It's just that ppl might think that you're gay if you wear rainbow colors, because the rainbow has also become a symbol of the LGBQ+-movement. The question is - do you care if someone thinks you're gay? I guess you do, as by the text you add, you express that you are not, and you want other people to know that. So, it follows that you do care about other people's opinions about you, in general. Therefore, I'd advise to not wear the rainbow with the text, as it could give you stress if someone might think unfavorably about you - they might think you really are a bigot.

Frankly its not a question of caring about opinions it is more that rainbows look nice and I have always liked them. I find it annoying that wearing the glasses will likely cause multiple a-holes to bother with me when I simply like the color pattern.

Captain Kirk about to go to space. Hopefully everything goes well.
Hopefully some day soon we can make a similar journey for less than 0.1 BTC.

Looks like Gold prices are finally starting to feel the upward push of inflationary policy. I think our BTC rise so far this month has been more of a self fulfilling prophecy situation. Price going up because everyone is expecting it to go up Oct. through Dec. But now Gold is showing the natural effects of money printer go brrr and we'll start to see BTC accelerate in its uppity climb.

Regarding the poll (for a change), I wonder how honest the answers are when it shows that 2/3 of holders wouldn't budge if the Satoshi coins went live into the market. To be fair it should only be a matter of time before a strong consensus is reached and enforced into the blockchain to lock these coins out of the system. What do you think? ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif)

Still down from ATH 10 years ago when measured in dollars which in fact means gold has not even kept its value against inflation at all. That pretty much sucks I would say also considering storage fees (if you don't keep bars locked away at home at least). Even if you don't care for crypto property would be a far better bet. Gold is like keeping cash in a 0,01% interest savings account.
