Bitcoins - about to hit $5,000 per coin today!

[Flexacon]

10years of smart phones  and Ive never used emojis!  You did say btc has a greater chance of being banned. When and how does this happen? What time frame do you consider that argument to be void.

Something having a greater chance of being banned than something else means just that. It doesn't mean it will be banned by so and so date.

I know what you're angling for though, so I'll save you time. I say when BTC gets banned and you respond with "that's what's so great about it. It exists outside government control, can't stop people using it etc etc".

Go read my post again. I said if BTC gets outright banned it would drop in value. If you're all in on BTC then that isn't really a great outcome.

I'd rather wait, make higher returns elsewhere and only jump in on bitcoin when it's more of a certain thing/less volatile.

You're not making higher returns elsewhere.

You're not "selling out" right before the crashes and then scooping back up at rock bottom.

You don't have an edge on anybody. You are fish food in a highly manipulated shitcoin market.

And that doesn't even include talking about the tax implications in this sort of stupid behavior.

Whatever happened to the good ole days of being content with claiming to be an undefeated, underground Kumite champion or knocking out 20 rep squats with 800 pounds on the bar??

Your posts are like the personification of the 'eyes roll' emoji  in multi-paragraph text form.

LMAO

That's exactly what I did. I was banging the drum warning about a crash when everyone was talking about 300k btc. It's well documented on here and I love being given the chance to remind people.

I also sold before the stock market crash in 2020. Again well documented on here and put it all on silver which has nearly tripled. You guessed it, it's well documented on here.

Just because you can't do it nancy, doesn't mean others can't.

Tax implications for crypto aren't the same everywhere bub or you're just not clever enough to figure out some loopholes.

Interesting conversation.

Interesting conversation.

Well you must have noticed when bitcoin hit the shitter and you came into the thread to troll all the bitcoin fanboys were as silent as church mouse.

I was the one calling you out.

Bitcoin has a mini rally and now the fanboys are back feeling like champions. Some of them clowns like poly act like borderline cultists. Gib, seems like a nice guy, but he gave himself up on here a few years. Bitcoin looked dead and he pretty much owned up to acting the part of a shill.

Nigerians will ‘lead bitcoin,’ says Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey


Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey Sunday said “the people of Nigeria will lead bitcoin” despite the Nigerian authorities clamp down on the trading of cryptocurrencies.


Dorsey’s take was a direct reaction to an oped written by NFL star Russell Okung in Bitcoin Magazine.

Okung, a Nigerian descendant and self-acclaimed Bitcoin proponent, advised Nigeria to focus on achieving “economic independence and financial sovereignty” by establishing a Bitcoin Standard.

Nigeria is one of the largest cryptocurrency markets in the world. But the country’s central bank prohibited financial institutions from trading in cryptocurrency.

Banks were also ordered to identify and close down all accounts involved in the transfer or exchange of cryptocurrencies.

“The bank hereby wishes to remind regulated financial institutions that dealing with cryptocurrencies or facilitating payments for cryptocurrency exchanges is prohibited,” the CBN said in a statement.

Still, about $400 million worth of cryptocurrencies have been traded in Nigeria in 2021, Statista, a global market data tracker, said. The volume of trading places it behind only the United States and Russia in the world.

Despite the government’s action, many young Nigerians found alternative ways of buying and selling cryptocurrencies as the country’s currency, the naira, continues to slide against the dollar.

“It is no secret that the current global economic environment is worrisome and unsustainable,” Okung wrote in the oped. “Sadly, the fate of the Nigerian economy is in the hands of global central bankers who do not represent the best interests of the Nigerian people. Despite the challenges we face, the resilience of Nigerians continues to inspire.”

Okung insisted that it is “urgent” for Nigeria to act and that the country has a “limited window”. He pointed to the finite supply of the digital currency as one of its main attractions.

He claimed that Iran, Russia, China and Kenya are already “mining or otherwise utilising bitcoin,” partly as a means of circumventing the United States sanctions which prevent them from full participation in the global financial system.

Makes sense

Bitcoin is like that fighter who takes punch after punch and continues to move forward.

In fact, it's opponent could pull out a 38(pistol) from his waistband and shoot center mast and Bitcoin would probably crouch forward and wince a little bit but ultimately would stand back up and continue ahead.

Yep, most of the bitcoin fanboys will get sheared like sheep.

It's the natural order. 

The mental aspect of successful investing or in this case speculating is extremely important.

Yeah I know.  It's too bad I'm not as smart and sophisticated as a real investor.

But them Nigerians are gunna make us all rich? 😂

Top Resistance at 38.9k then nuke it like in the Aliens movie.

Twitter going apeshit with bullish fever.

You don't have to be that smart.  It's more control of emotions combined with common sense, experience, and gut feelings.

I dont consider bitcoin or whatever variation you call it to be investing.  It's speculating.

In this case, perhaps currency speculation, like speculating in dollars or yen.

Bitcoin is supposed to be currency, right?

Investing is a long-term activity.  You invest in an education for example.

Speculating is looking for a quick score.  Nothing wrong with it as long as you understand the game.

Somebody mentioned DCAing into bitcoin every month like bitcoin was a stock index fund.  That's foolish.  Someone with no understanding of the game.

It's the Greater Fool Theory in action.  A game of hot potato.  The Quick or the Dead.

Elon tweets Tesla never sold all their BTC. Stimulus cheques incoming (shout out to stimulus poster guy who has been shouting about that for months)

I can see it going even higher before dumping hard. Dump could even happen by next Friday

That somebody is me, and I DCA weekly  ~ 800-1k weekly using yield platforms. Really, im earning and not cashing out. My passive stream of income doesnt go into BTC.  A fool? Time will tell....

How timely, has a meeting with Saylor, Saylor announces another 500mill purchase and Elon comes out with a tweet how he will be accepting btc in the future and hasn't  sold.

The pump just now was a couple of candles where institutions pumped the very bottom and retail buyers aped in right at the top.

Strong resistance is at 38.9k which is where it’s at now. Notice Volume dropped way off, retail buyers now trapped right at the top with no volume and a heap of shorts below which weren’t liquidated and institutions now an easy 5% in margin, holding loads of coins and with open short positions.

Twitter says it’s a short squeeze. I say more likely a nuke to sub 30k.

[Theoak*]

I know what you're angling for though, so I'll save you time. I say when BTC gets banned and you respond with "that's what's so great about it. It exists outside government control, can't stop people using it etc etc".

So now you've  gone from reading  the market to perfection to reading my thoughts in the event of a black swan scenario?  I make no excuses for if/when btc dies.  I  hope everyone here makes fuck you money, regardless of their strategy.  Salty.......not even if btc dumped to 11k.

I've not gone looking at charts or anything directly for a while now, but yeah it does seem to have stalled around 39k.

I'm not ruling out a short squeeze, but not from here. It's more likely after the dump.

I've never said you were salty. I have said you were menstruating though 

It's all good man. If you didn't notice I didn't call you out when I had a pop at maxi attitudes on here. You're doing your thing and I respect that.

I've called out people who came in here to troll when BTC crashed and I called out people who came in here to hype trash like ETC, so I have no agenda other than against idiots. Maybe I just need to stop calling people out
