A few comments. I have pleanty of cash and stock and property etc. So if anything I will be increasing my exposure to bitcoin, not decreasing it. As I have explained before, the amount I hold is a hedge against a range
of things that may happen in then future, both financial, Geopolitical, and personal.

As for “pure greed” you use this term almost as though its a bad thing. But ok, if wanting to preserve wealth, diversify assets, avoid theft and devaluation by Government is “greed”’ then so be it. But bear in mind that it’s human nature to be greedy and its this very nature, both from individuals and banks, that ultimately will drive bitcoin over the next decade.

As for equating my gains on bitcoin with how smart I am, I am actually way more proud of my returns on stock, as with equities there really is a correlation between research and being able to calculate inherent value. With bitcoins it was a different kind of “smartness” - the ability to spot a revolutionary trend. Indeed it was my “smartness” and lack of ability to calculate any kind of inherent value that held me off buying bitcoins for so long. (Which by the way is the phase you are currently in. The reason I KNOW you will buy is because of your views on gold. Not sure your age, I’m guessing 40-50? Try surrounding yourself with people in their 30s and below. People who do everything on smartphones. People who will be coming into their prime next 10 years as the current tycoons and men of power in their 60s and 70s start to die off. You’ll work this out).

I’ll say it again - any person even moderately well off know should own at least a single coin as a hedge against the future.

Your "knowledge" of stocks and inherent value is an illusion.  You're simply riding a bull market based on trillions of dollars of central bank interventions and computer trading.  In 2008 stocks with high "inherent value" got killed with the rest of the market... it's all about confidence and perception and emotion.  

Same thing with bitcoin.  There is no inherent value, it's an illusion... a Ponzi bubble based on the "greater fool" principle.  

When bitcoin drops large again, you'll disappear from this forum like you did 2 weeks ago when dropped from $7900 to $5500.  You only started posting again after it recovered. 

Just remember... Pigs eventually get slaughtered.

Peter Thiel “bitcoin has the potential to be the cyber equivalent of gold:



Yeah, okay.

Banks and countries hoard gold, not bitcoins.  Gee, I wonder why?

You cannot debate me, you just keep posting crap like this ad hominem.

The next revolution will be a civil war or a race war.  Ammo is what you will need, not bitcoins.

Answering some PMs:

“hey bro.

I got a bit of cash lying around and want to put into crypto.

I have 1 btc so far lol.

Whats next best thing you reckon?

Was thinking putting a bit of money into dash, ethereum and litecoin, what u think?”

Bitcoin is the big daddy of Crypto. It’s the first place any new buyer will invest, gets the most publicity, and is where the institutional investors and high net worth people will be buying in big time next few years.

There are in infinite number of block chain currencies that can be created just like how in the old days people used
many physical things as money - rocks, shells, gold, bones, seeds, silver, jade, bronze etc. Over time there will likely be one most commonly accepted store of value crypto and that is bitcoin. So if I was you I would buy more bitcoins. If you wanted to diversify a little then perhaps some ether or Bitcoin Cash. Stay well away from any icos.

This may help:




The GH15 of Bitcoin!

Huh? Stocks do have a calculateable value. Which is why I was almost entirely out before 2008 and entirely In after 2009. It’s the ability to determine value which has been my success to investment success.

Faith in paper money, controlled by central banks and Governments is declining. Confidence in a decentralised currency, owned by no one and mathematically certain is growing and this trend will continue. I’m here trying to help you change your thinking. But let’s keep debating. I’m happy to try to answer specific questions.

Oh, and by the way ...

$8700

Dude, give someone your number via PM. If this crashes we may need to have the authorities perform a wellness check on you.

He's actually become a troll now... quite hilarious.  This is a text book example of bubble behavior personality.  Bitcoin is approaching (if not already in) the delusion stage...



If you never take a profit, the gains are virtual.  It will be even more humorous when it crashes.  He'll disappear in shame.

Ha ha. Not to worry. I can handle a crash. I have my investments allocated so that I can weather most storms. So don’t be sad for me it it crashes (but do be happy for me if it keeps rising. You talk of taking a profit, but you fail to realise that for the new generation they measure their wealth more by bitcoins then cash. So if they sell stock for example, they don’t look at how many $ they have made rather they measure it in bitcoins, and they use bit coins among each other, whether for playing poker, buying and selling cars or watches etc.

I know you mean well Mr Anabolic though some might say its you who is the troll!

Oh and one more thing ...

$9200

Edumacate yourselves people. You are in a class of people who can benefit from this as the masses in the world (in African, India, China etc) become future bitcoin slaves. Most Americans still have a chance to secure their future:

Is it true that only around 10,000,000 people are invested in bitcoin?

I’m not sure the exact number but yes is a relatively small number of “elite” people who currently own bitcoin. But that will change. Every African with a mobile phone will want bitcoin. As will every Indian. As will every Chinese. Right now though it’s still overall people from the rich and advanced countries driving demand.

Nah for smaller amounts like $500 you are good. Coinbase has good security protocols and is US regulated. I use my Coinbase BTC for smaller transactional things like using btc to pay for drinks or a meal or a hotel room when travelling in Asia. But for larger amounts most would advise to hold your coins off line in cold storage like with a trezor.

Troll?  I'm trying to convince you to cash in and book your virtual profits, but you won't!  I'm actually trying to help you.

This is the largest speculative bubble in history.  I've seen many bubbles in my time, but this one takes the cake.  Tulips smell/look nice, Beanie Babies were cute and cuddly and Pet Rocks were heavy and could be used as weapons.  However, a bitcoin is a digital illusion.  You can't even hold one in your hand.  

Here is how the great bitcoin crash will play out...

When the last of the greater fools has bought, the smart money will begin to exit.  Sell orders will eventually overwhelm the exchanges.  The sell orders will bottleneck and not get filled until days later, but at a much, much lower price.  Some of the ex bitcoin millionaires who didn't sell will be jumping off high buildings without parachutes.  

That my dear sir will be the end of the largest bubble in human history.
