Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

[BitChick]

It depends what the main goal is?

Would it be nice to have the freedom to do more things in life?  Sure.  Money is just a necessary tool that can be used for great good in the world.  Money is useful and there are some things I would like to use it for, but there are many more important things in life than money!  But we should be wise with it too.  Some people think Bitcoin is a foolish investment.  I think keeping all of my cash in USD and stocks could be a foolish investment.  We put our trust in the wrong things sometimes.

I'm not even saying wanting to make money is bad, I mean we're all here, are we not? I'm trying to make as much money as I can too.. I'm just using you as an example to the forum for how you can make buttloads of hypothetical money and then still lose most of it due to tunnel vision and stubbornness in your beliefs.

I could lose every penny I have and that would be OK, really.  I can't trust in money.  We trust in money too much in this world unfortunately.

I think I do enjoy the adrenalin rush a little too much during a bubble though.  Perhaps that is wrong?  That could be greed.    I need to think about that.  It is perhaps an area in my life I should pray about.

If you think I am stubborn about Bitcoin, don't even get me started about my Christian beliefs.    

Nonsense, your christian belief is adapted to fit your own desires. Greed of money is your belief. So nope, you are not stubborn, actually you are very flexible. The quotes I pasted clearly disagree with you praying about bitcoin price going up. No? Please refute me.

There is the dilemma I guess.  Money in of itself is not evil.  The LOVE of money is evil.  Do I love money?  I think it is hard not to be tempted by the comfort it can bring for sure.  I wrestle with this.  I am going to India in six weeks and I will be hit in the face and greatly humbled by those that can live lives of complete contentment and even joy with far less than I have.  So in a way you are right.  It is an area that I probably have some issues with, especially growing up in a rich area in the United States that is surrounded by every luxury we could ever want.  

Why do I want the price to go up though?  Well, I really wanted to bring a few thousand dollars more with me to India for one thing.  Also, I would love to send both my daughters to great Christian colleges at some point, which is pricey and I don't have the funds to do that either.  Also, my husband would really like to work at home and has some projects he is interested in doing but doesn't have the time to do them. I would like to think my motives are fairly pure, but maybe they are not.  It is something I should consider.

I already figured it'd be best to leave religion out of this for the sake of not putting a bomb under this topic.

There is no god and bitcoin will hit $32 by Christmas. Discuss:D

I'll take that wager. What stakes are you interested in playing today sir?

Well....

The human body can go for 30-50 days without food. Water is generally free.

By renting out every room, and moving into a tent in the garden, the income would null my monthly property costs.

So, I guess I can pretty much direct 80-90%% of my monthly expenses to buying cheap coins before they go to $10,000 next year.

Here's hoping.

god is the universe.

we are a part of him

he is unaware of are being, and completely indifferent.

FTFY!

The "are being" is still cryptic though...

He's talking about my schizophrenic personality. It's OK. WE AGREE!

Plus I am female!      What am I even doing on this thread!?  

Are you even allowed on the internet??

I think if I posted a picture of my butt in a thong I would be OK.    (I could even get away with quoting Bible that way too perhaps. )

Edit. . .  leaving thread now as it degenerates in seconds  3, 2, 1

I'm a known a-religionist, but trust me there's nothing stronger than faith. It's somehow incorporated into this damn Matrix. Like a virus, or a secret weapon which whoever possesses a glimpse of it, can make miracles. Christian, Buddhist, Science; whatever you believe, if you believe it strongly, you can actually make it real.  

Except science is not a religion, thank you, and it is the only thing that can produce 'miracles' with actual reproducibility.

Yes. But not the peanut ones, just the chocolate centered ones.

Psalms 119:103 - How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth

Money, in general, can be a bitch, but bitcoin is divine.

We wouldn't be reading the post anyway.

400. everything is going to be alright

You guys are too hard on BitChick.  She's Christ-like!  Remember He complimented the money changers for bringing some volume to the Temple, and made an excellent impression on the locals, who honored Him with a big shindig on that nice Golgotha hill?   Well, WE are money changers.

Welcome, Church Lady!

Science is a tool, but many scientists don't use it properly and cling to their beliefs on faith alone.

Alright thats fine, being honest with yourself. But lets not forget this final quote of what awaits you if you indeed become rich.

Mark 10:25

"It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God."

I know its hard to deal with the reality of being a christian, but .. well thats what is demanded of you if you are indeed following the book.

You almost sound smug beforehand, as if you're being a better person by deciding to go somewhere where people are poor, and already portraying yourself as 'being humbled' before you even went.
