Gossip & Opinions / Re: Bitcoins - about to hit $5,000 per coin today!
« Last post by obsidian on Today at 06:47:20 PM »It’s strong because the US is strong. I’d prefer to be on the side who is winning.USA Winning! You won't see this in Russia or China.
Japan went to 236% debt to GDP. The rest of us are around 120%. Even on the current rate of spend when I did quick numbers we can get out to 2050 no sweat. That’s 25yrs+ ahead of people being wrong, talking of US collapse.
It’s no different to CPI and employment data, the masses dont want to spend the time to understand it so they say it’s fake. We have 8yrs left. That’s a lot of time to be incredibly wrong about economics. Go pull news articles from the late 40s/early 50s. Go pull news articles from the early 70s/ early 80s.
The question I asked myself in 2020 was what did people say, feel, do in these cycles. The data sets won’t answer that so I pulled archived media. The articles written in the 40s/50s read like they are taking place today. Then Consider what followed these cycles was the biggest tech Booms of their generation.

Or a strategic fire. What about a dozen drones? At some point, they will probably have to increase security at Bitcoin mining facilities and add air defenses... A few rocket launchers would not be too expensive to cause major damage.

I never sell my computers. I still have an original IBM XT with green monitor. The box has dents in it. I need to get it fixed.

« Last post by Irongrip400 on Today at 06:36:52 PM »That should be the standard in every death penalty case.
My thoughts on it as well. I’d hate for an innocent man to spend the rest of his life in jail, but I’d be devastated to think an innocent man got put to death.

« Last post by obsidian on Today at 06:36:20 PM »Holding something is a "play" and I never said trading anything was the "play".Interesting post. Thanks for sharing. Out of curiosity, on which service provider did you transfer ETH to L2. Isn't that a taxable event? My goal is to avoid paying taxes as much as possible.
You hold ETH, transfer onto the L2 and leave it there. This is providing liquidity. The L2 airdrops you a bunch of their tokens. You sell their tokens and you remove your ETH/liquidty. You put your ETH to work for you, got it all back and made mucho bucks
You hold ETH which you stake. You then put your staked ETH in a restaking protocol. They give you crazy yield and/or points (thanks rehypothecation). You cash out your yeild/points and take back your staked ETH. You put your ETH to work for you, got it all back and made mucho bucks
This was the gravy train. It had nothing to do with Sol, Btc or trading and circling back to my original point, ETH ETF matters very little to those ETH HOLDERS who took the above steps.
You are thinking about the USD in linear terms. It's not about how strong the USD is, a weaker dollar is actually preferential. It's about control through USD on a global scale and in that regards USD/USA has never been stronger.
Fixating on politics and politicians is a waste of time as it doesn't change any of this.
Ironically some believe bitcoin saves you from this tyranny and that's why we have this thread with 10k posts
I know there are many ways to make more (and lose) money than sitting on big market cap tokens like BTC and ETH. At least staking ETH is better than doing nothing. We'll see how it all shakes out in the long run. The ETH FUD is strong right now. We have been through all this before. I think Ethereum is in a great spot and the L2s are gaining traction. Coinbase's Base does not have a token. And I don't think they plan to have one anytime soon. Ethereum is the native token for Base.

Does Coinbase have future plans for a native token on Base?
We currently do not plan to issue a new network token. ETH will be our native gas token. Be aware that scammers may send fake Base tokens. Avoid interacting with them.
