So, you know people who have sold and made loads of actual money but you haven't?  That seems to be the way it is with everyone.

What a fool I am for holding on for this long!

I should have listened to investment geniuses like this guy ^^ and sold at 5k or 10k and "made boat loads of money"

Gentlemen,

Let's put aside BITCOIN for a minute and instead begin to speculate as to which cryptocurrencies will lead the way into the Metaverse.

There's a lot of talk on Wall Street at the present moment regarding which cryptos are wise investments for this.

Keep an eye out for Marathon Digital Holdings(stock symbol MARA) and Hut 8 Mining Corp (stock symbol HUT). The first is based in the United States and the latter in Canada.

In the famous analogy of the mining rushes of the mid-1800s, Bitcoin is the gold but I suspect we will see more and more people investing into the "picks and shovels" sphere. Digital mining companies give you this sort of exposure. Plus these are 2 of the biggest in their respective countries so you also get that blue chip pedigree.

Both of these companies give you that PLUS they hold, rather than sell, the vast majority of the Bitcoin they mine, which is a BRILLIANT business move.

I put in a significant buy on both not too long ago and I expect both to be extremely profitable for years and years to come.

Just put those 2 companies in your mental rolodex.

I'll look into both. There has been mention of inclusion into the Metaverse? There are some like Axie Infinity, but I prefer lower barriers to entry via price point.

Mr A, it warms my heart that after calling Bitcoin a bubble/ponzi scheme and advising people NOT TO BUY back in November 13, 2013, 05:1:42 PM when BTC was $381 per coin (and continuously like a broken record since then), that you are now expressing the view that Bitcoin will go higher and that we are not at the peak yet. What a turn around! We are making some good progress with you.

However, what you have done is the equivalent of making a kind of "half apology". If you are wrong, just man up, admit it, like JP Morgan, one of the world's most respected investment banks recently did:

https://www.zerohedge.com/crypto/jpmorgan-admits-it-was-wrong-about-end-bitcoin-bull-run-renews-140000-plus-price-forecast?

You have in the past been both small-minded, arrogant, closed-minded, conceited, stubborn, bigoted, pig-headed and obstinate in your refusal to accept reality, and until recently you simply continued over and over with attempts to produce "false objections" with regard to the validity of Bitcoin.

It is correct, that fear and greed can be key reasons that people lose money. And yet you have not learned your own lesson here, which is that your fear (which may have been a good trait in your investment background to date) is also exactly what caused you to make huge losses on the value of your cash as compared to the value of BTC over the last 7 years. I am sure, if you could turn back time, that you wished you would invested in BTC back when you claimed it was a bubble in 2013. Just like you will be wishing you had done so by buying now at 18K, when we are in the year 2030 (and you KNOW IT).

With regard to "fear" you have exemplified with your "self-bargaining" how much idiocy and misunderstanding exists which puts people off buying BTC, which over time will be demystified due to larger institutions legitimizing BTC. And this fear (and ignorance by the masses) is indeed one reason why we can have so much confidence that there is so much huge upside potential ahead. Some of your nonsense on your self bargaining has included:

-People can hack an exchange so its not safe.
-BTC is only used by bad people.
-The Government will shut it down.
-Its not "real" as to opposed to gold which is.
-Its not easy to buy it.
-It only has a short period of history.
-There is no limit on supply and can be infinitely produced.
-A FedCoin will lead to reduced demand for BTC.
-Transaction speed is too slow for mass adoption.
-The price is too volatile.
-Its not typically used to purchase things.
-It will be taxed.
-Its not anonymous.

And my absolute favorite:

-BTC disappears "when the electricity is turned off".

and on and on the nonsense goes.

A respectful and more dignified approach for an older person such as yourself, would have been to have a more open and enquiring mind, and to ask about these topics and then have someone explain them to you. What you instead did was to make these potential objections as statements of fact, which then resulted you looking stupid when they were debunked. That in turn provoked you to take an aggressive and hostile stance (name-calling, making deceitful misquotes of others, etc), which actually did nothing to address the substance of the objections you raised.

You do have the opportunity to change your stance. Ultimately that is part of the purpose of the discussion here. For us to help each other.

Let me conclude by asking you this. As you now think Bitcoin will go higher, given all your great skills of trading options and futures etc, please tell now us how much higher you think Bitcoin will now go? Oh and while you are at it, please also tell us whether you believe gold will outperform BTC in 2020, and well as over the next 5 years. Thank you.

And so, as we are on the cusp of seeing yet another HUGE STEP in the legitimization of Bitcoin, I am reminded of the quote above.

The metaphorical story of Mr Anabolic is a good story and lesson for us all. Many of us when to great lengths to help a fellow get-bigger out. And that is maybe the saddest part of this whole chapter of GetBig history. We got him so so close to seeing the light, yet he stubbornly refused to take that final step (both out of pride, and due to his pig-headedness.

The good thing is, for all the Mr A's and no-coiners out there, is that there is still PLENTY OF TIME to get on board. Indeed we all as individuals, have the ability this weekend to front-run all the institutional money that will flow in Monday onwards via SEC approved ETFs.

Becoming a whole-coiner is still in reach for many of us in 1st world countries. So whilst we will see over time Billions of Indians, Asians, Latin-Americans etc toiling away for Sats, (with becoming a whole-coiner a far away and basically unachievable dream), we can ourselves "lock in" our place in what will be an increasingly competitive and wealth disparity world.

Not big layer 1s, the future is defi that they will run on.The whole ethereum ecosystem is going to be cloned on Pulse, it runs 4x faster, and uses proof of stake so eth transactions that cost 100s of dollars on eth because of miners will be pennies.

They are bitcoin mining stocks. Nothing to do with the metaverse.

Metaverse = NFTs = ETH

Vitamin Buterin on NFTs https://twitter.com/VitalikButerin/status/1435413681588736007

We need to move NFTs onto the layer 2 ecosystem to cut fees. However, doing that *right* requires good cross-rollup portability standards, so the ecosystem can avoid getting locked into one particular L2.

Buy layer 2 crypto solutions and ETH if you believe in the metaverse but are unsure where you should park your money.

Doesn't matter if there is successful merge and ETH 2.0 arrives. You'll end bag holding on Pulse, or worse rug pulled.

It's still worth putting some money in though because the risk/reward is very favourable and Eth2.0 could still be years away. Also if it does end op being a rug pull you probably wanna get in early..

On the subject of Richard Heart. This is a great quote I found recently @Humble Narcissist

"In crypto, really stupid people buy for the wrong reasons, really smart people buy for the right reasons, they both get rich. The "thinks they're smart" but actually isn't, doesn't buy, for "reasons." and they cry and yell while they watch the far left and right of the intelligence bell curve make live changing wealth, while they're left behind."

Its well known midwits tend to fud themselves out of buys whereas the opposite ends of the bell curves do not, for different reasons.

There is room for multiple layer 1s, Pulse will have Rchard Heart who can reach audiences Vitalik can only dream of, and has a cult behind him like no other in crypto.At a certain point marketing is everything when products are so similar.Also successful eth 2.0 wont be coming for months or years yet.

Vitalik in turn can and has attracted developers and institutions that Richard Heart can only dream.

Also much like with Ripple/XRP don't be surprised if Hearts projects are "stalled" for some BS reason if someone wants it that way.

Anyway this is one of those occasions where it helps to be on the far left of intelligence bell curve. Buy both (stake if possible) and you'll  be in the money on both plays. No need to over think this.

All I know is I am making a killing on Bitcoin and I laugh at all of the so called "experts" that say it's worthless. lol

Can you name me the institutions using eth?Eth was basically the only game in town until the last 2 years so devs had no choice but to use it and put up with the shitty gas fees crippling their projects.Pulse isnt even out yet, so all he can do at this point is dream about its adoption by devs at launch.Money and public influence talk, and at this point Heart has more of both than Vitalik.Devs will follow the money and where public sentiment goes.Once crypto truly hits mainstream the you want a charasmatic genius as your frontman, not just a genius.See Elon Musk.And there is no stalling, testnet is already up and running.

So pulsechain is gonna be great because you have a man crush on Richard Heart. Got it.

That also explains why your space bar seems a bit sticky..

Both ends of the spectrum can filter out noise.

Mid level cannot filter noise.

Both ends of the spectrum can also filter out emotion. The super smart often appear cold hearted and the super dumb often appear ignorant/stubborn.

Mid tier is an emotional rollercoaster.

Pulse is simple odds. The crypto space today is 2T. By the time Pulse launches the crypto space will be 8T+.

eHEX did 10,000x in 2 years.

pHEX will probably do 10,000x in 2 years and that's a fair thing to say because the space will be 4 times larger than it is today and growing quicker dollar wise. Given the eHEX returns have been so good, why wouldn't the exact same people do it with pHEX?

Pulse will do at least a 1,000x over 4yrs as there is going to be some kind of influence on the price.


We have HEX which is there in black and white and people say it's sketchy. Meanwhile ADA is supported by pure marketing hype and has no real projects yet people think it's solid.

People prefer to believe in pipe dreams.

PHex is expected to reach price parity with Ehex almost immediately., Everyones play is to buy it the second the eth bridge opens to pulse, or they can sell their sacrificed Pulse for it.

Ada just shows what you can do with marketing.Its soley at the marketcap it is now due to Hoskinson having a way with words and being a great speaker..As you know in the real world its a joke and it sounds like for many things the computation will have to be done offchain as it struggles to even run smart contracts.

Hoskinson is not well liked because he comes across as arrogant. Which then looks like he is desperate. Remember the exchange with Mark Cuban?

I don't think he is that great a speaker either. Not that it should hold him back. Elon is not a great speaker and he is the richest man in the world right now.

Reddit loves hoskinson, thats where the main ada fanboyism comes from.
Musk is a charismatic speaker,, as well as charismatic in general, thats all thats needed. People find his constant pauses, looking up while he actually thinks in real time before he delivers an answer endearing.
