Why Are They No Longer Saying "When Lambo?"

[stompix]

It's simple, probably with the current price of Bitcoin it's no longer going to rise like what we witnessed in the past. If it goes x10 it still might not be enough to afford a Lambo.

And , the prices of Lamborghinis is also going higher and higher
The Aventador was 350 000, Huracan 250 000.
Now the Revuelto is 600 000 and the Temerario is 350 000.

So, you need an additional x2 in price just to keep up with the new flagship price.

[macson]

That's no longer relevant. These days, people are just more realistic about Bitcoin and more focused on accumulating it rather than saying useless things. If you find someone who still says "wen lambo," they're probably still living in the past.

I read that Bitcoiners used to accummulate BTC to get enough to buy a lamboghini supercar, and everyone used to ask others when they have gotten enough bitcoins to buy one. However, I've looked around the web and haven't seen anyone asking another "when lambo." Does it mean that Bitcoiners no longer spend their BTC on luxury, or has the Bitcoin generation in love with the lambo all gotten their lambo?

It could be true or it could be that now the thought of owning a Lamborghini car is not worth it. I mean now owning bitcoin is much more valuable than having to spend it on something that is usually easy to replace with a newer version. Instead of When lambo is probably now supposed to be when to buy a tesla that can fly.
Market conditions are increasingly uncertain, bitcoin holders are more restrained from wasting btc and waiting for the return of the bull market.

I used to see many of this crypto slang on telegram couple of years ago where holders, hunters and airdroppers will be writing when Lambo, maybe to a newly launched altcoin group or large sum holders of bitcoin expecting higher return on investment.

I can vow that altcoiners who shouted when Lambo those years had regretted that nothing really comes out of their altcoin investment to grab a Lambo, only few strong holders of bitcoin who held great quantity could actually benefit to grab some Lambo.

Personally, I wouldn’t trade my Cybertruck for any Lambo. I can’t believe they’re discontinuing it. I think the crypto community should’ve gone harder in support of that vehicle, but I blame Elon for removing Bitcoin as a payment option. A Lambo might be cool on Miami Beach, but I wouldn’t want to sit in one for longer than 5 minutes, if I could event fit.

Times have changed a lot. Back then, it was normal to see the price of Bitcoin increase tenfold in less than two years sometimes it could even happen in just a few months, such as when the price climbed from $3,000 to $32,000. Today, however, things are different. The market has grown significantly; we are now talking about a trillion-dollar market, where a tenfold price increase would require an enormous influx of capital unlike in the past, when the market was much smaller. Consider, for instance, that even the hacking incident at Binance didn’t cause a major drop in price; five years ago, such an event would have triggered a significant decline.

Consequently, we won’t see people behaving the way they did years ago. I have a friend who used to invest heavily in Bitcoin he once bought an expensive car and engaged in various business deals but last year, his mindset had shifted. He didn’t sell all his coins, but he did sell a portion to start a real-world business, and the idea of ​​the car was forgotten. His reasoning? He explained that, given the financial crisis in our country, it was best to use his head and avoid unnecessary spending.

Maybe bitcoiners these days have gone wiser and have already seen the high possibility that if bitcoin suddenly reach its new peak, most likely it will also drop its price to the bottom without us knowing. That's how volatile and unpredictable bitcoin is, that some people no longer spend it on buying luxuries in life but instead spend more on accumulating more bitcoin because the bigger amount of bitcoin you have, the more profitable and secured you are in your future finances.

When ''in lambo'' is no longer practical these days, and bitcoin is no longer profitable these days as much as it was before.

[Bryan jessy]

That was some people's dream, a dream that might never come true because they gave up along the line when the price of Bitcoin dropped, a person who has such expectation should better adopt long term investment else he will end up halfway with unfulfilled dreams, lot of persons go into investment as to be able to achieve what they have always wished for through profit making, but at the end  they fail to plan their investment journey in such a way that it favours them, imagine a person who wants to buy a Lamborghini with his Bitcoin investment and he is operating short term investment, in this period? though a person might be lucky but it is not certain to achieve that with the current situation of Bitcoin.

The first year I was on the forum I had read about this phrase "When Lambo" but the longer I have not heard anything similar and it seems that it has been abandoned for a very long time
Jargon like this looks pretty good but for now it seems because the longer the paradigm is also slightly changed because if it used to be possible to buy an item is a benchmark including for Lambo which is always used as a benchmark but for now it is increasingly shifted because compared to then more people say that this can be a tool of value storage so that lambo is not a benchmark anymore but an investment that is now an attraction.

But a trip like this is not a good thing because even though a shift in meaning always occurs, things like that actually don't really matter because for now the price that still feels very good is a very good thing so regardless of whether we consider the paradigm to goods like Lambo or storage of value as always echoed by investors, everything remains in a positive narrative.

[Ziskinberg]

People will return to their ''lambo'' mindset when there are big opportunities and chances, but for now, bitcoin is not that profitable as it was years ago and the current price is not that impressive so far, so the best thing we can do for now is focus first on maximizing our bitcoin portfolio so that we can make the most of our future profits when bitcoin hits its new all time high price again.

''When lambo'' does not really fade, people are just waiting for the perfect moment to make it happen again.

[JoyMarsha]

OP, you are just sounding like someone who thinks lambo is the commonly used word here, like we commonly say the word ''hodl" for Bitcoin investors.

OP, the question of when lambo is the word crypto traders on Reddit, X, and Telegram are asking about new coin founders. When moon? (when will their invested coin moon?). It started around 2017-2018 during the first Bitcoin boom

However, when lambo is a form of teasing anyway. Indirectly telling someone that they should be rich by now

" Does it mean that Bitcoiners no longer spend their BTC on luxury, or has the Bitcoin generation in love with the lambo all gotten their lambo?

Priorities have changed perhaps, or people have grown out of asking those questions. It could be either of both, but it does not mean that as that question is not as common as before that people are no longer accumulating bitcoin with long-term target. You also need to put into consideration security which many people now understand that they could be more vulnerable by details that are exposed online and one being that they are accumulating Bitcoin to buy something as luxurious as a Lambo or even having such a target.

A shift in perspective has obviously taken place. Back then, Bitcoin was seen as a way to turn a relatively small investment into a luxury lifestyle, hence the obsession with Lambos.

Today, many holders seem more focused on long-term wealth preservation, resulting in the shift in focus towards self-custody and yield generation, bringing Bitcoin-native protocols like Babylon Labs to the forefront of holders' priorities, alongside the asset itself.

Tbh, many probably got their Lambos, while others realised that holding onto their BTC might be worth more than spending it on a depreciating supercar.

These buzzwords have been popular in the past, and TBH, I didn't took those words seriously. Like is there anybody out here who is saving their Bitcoin just for them to use it to buy some Lambo? Hell none.

I'm thinking of one reason, and I think it's because they know that it isn't realistic anymore. If you're just an average Joe like me, it will take you a decade of holding it before you can get close to buying one. Now if you're just like other rich investors out there then you can buy it instantly using your Bitcoin holdings. Nobody's saying it anymore because those who're saying it in the past might not investing in crypto anymore because they lost so much money, or it's kind of irrelevant nowadays.

Some Bitcoin holders don't spend their BTC to buy luxuries because of the thinking that if they just continue holding it, it could give more profit for them. Bitcoin do appreciate in the long run. A lambo depreciates in value.

Some Bitcoin holders don't spend their BTC to buy luxuries because of the thinking that if they just continue holding it, it could give more profit for them. Bitcoin do appreciate in the long run. A lambo depreciates in value.

Not everyone want to show off and have luxurious life that actually puts them under more risk of physical attacks. People who are fearful of physical attacks knowing very well about importance of privacy and private life. Buying a lambo and showing off their wealth are not safe actions with such people, and they will try to maintain their humble life even they have a lot of money.

People who are rich can freely use their money and enjoy their life but at the end, and most important, they must keep their life safely. They also disconnect from short term profit and wealth by Bitcoin investment. Focusing on long term profit, they will get more, get richer considerably and have better life quality even without any lambo.

The phrase "when lambo" is rarely heard anymore, and I have never heard it lately. Maybe, because there is no longer the frenzied euphoria, that could make it happen. As far as I know, the phrase is more often used when discussing shitcoins, not Bitcoin. Shitcoins used to have so many people hoping for altcoins they "thought" would skyrocket in price, so they often said "wen lambo", or "to the moon". Another word I have heard before is "pump it up".

During bull runs, the 'When Lambo?' meme was prevalent because it was shouted most loudly by short-term hype traders rather than long-term holders.

Once bull run cycles ended, many of those who had loudly supported the 'When Lambo?' meme disappeared due to bear markets or simply grew quiet as the easy 100x gains faded.

One thing I'm certain about is that true Bitcoiners never considered a lambo as their primary goal, as they can acquire one if they really wanted.
Instead, they are more focused on wealth preservation, freedom, and not having to sell their holdings for status symbols.

Thus, 'When Lambo?' is now mostly associated with shitcoin hype.

[OsaiEmma]

That's no longer relevant. These days, people are just more realistic about Bitcoin and more focused on accumulating it rather than saying useless things. If you find someone who still says "wen lambo," they're probably still living in the past.

I think people were also realistic about Bitcoin in the past, because Bitcoin back then could easily do 100x, 50x etc etc in just a single cycle; but now it can't—because of increased market cap. It will take more effort for price to increase compared to back then—at most 2 - 3x. I don't think anyone will be doing "when Lambo" with that kind of gain.

The entire existence of Bitcoin coincided with the period after the crisis that began in 2008. This was a time of massive money emission into the economy (for example, all the QE). And part of this money supply ended up in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. If these trillions of dollars injected into the economy hadn’t been there, Bitcoin wouldn’t be worth as much.

Since further emission of dollars into the economy at the same speed and volume as before is already associated with certain problems, it’s not worth expecting a multiple increase in the price of Bitcoin. The remark about the Lambo is based on the idea of a multiple price increase (by thousands or tens of thousands of percent). But that time is in the past.

[freedomgo]

the biggest evidence that you are a successful investor is when you already own a Lambo.

Owning a Lambo doesn't necessarily make someone a successful investor. To me, real investment success is about how well you build and preserve your wealth, not how expensive the car in your garage is. Don't you think?

Of course, but it would also be better if we have this Lambo. 

But for me it's not the first thing I would consider buying, if I would sell some Bitcoins from my investment, I would make sure I would diversify into some assets like properties, but if it's too much then buying a Lambo should be part of the plan. Whatever happens as long as I have a Lambo, I would call myself successful, we all have different definitions of success so for me so be it.
