Topic: Be that guy (Read 4917 times)

Use bitfinex. I've been quite satisfied with it.

Definitely not shorting Bitcoin, but I have no expectation that it is going up. My goal is to collect Bitcoin at prices I am comfortable with. I have done ok in the past year (growing my bitcoin stash), but not close to what i was hoping.

As for another crypto taking over this is right now a fantasy of the nerds. First, by saying something like an anonymous coin is going to create a winnning formula over bitcoin implies that Bitcoin is failing to gain adoption because of lack of anonymity, or speed, or whatever you techno blable brain can come up with. The masses of users don't care about any of the "missing" features of bitcoin.

Look at what has happened to every alt coin that has come along in the past year, they are all pathetic little nits hidden in the shadow of the mighty bitcoin. All follow the same pattern. Feathercoin, DarkCoin, Monero, DogeCoin, even litecoin, just dreaming they could sustain what bitcoin has. Bitcoin is currently down 70% from highs, all the rest have peaked and crashed long after Bitcoin did, and crashed 90% or more. There will be an endless number of magic coins, the more there are the better case Bitcoin will have.

Will an alt be around in 5 years that is anywhere close to bitcoin, maybe just one or two, what are the chances you pick the right one of those? pretty damn small.

I have no plans to be rich this year or next, only to collect as many coins as I can. If i get rich, great, if I don't oh well. i have lost more money in the stock market in the last ten years than i have invested in Bitcoin.

Do you trust any existing exchange? Are you waiting for decentralized exchanges for providing this feature to short Bitcoin?

No I am not because I do not trust these centralized exchanges.

Are you shorting Bitcoin right now?

If not , why not?

No, I expect you to continue believing that btc is going to turn you into a billionaire.

 

and you expect us to have a serious debate with you?

I never said 10 years, but rather a matter of time. Also, I don't consider btc to be money.

Anyhow, nice of you to try to change the subject from the btc billionaire fantasy.

There will always be localbitcoins trading, giftcard buying and direct purchases with bitcoin. KYC offramps aren't needed now or in the future.

Yeah, cause people like to change the forms of money they use every 10 year right, no big deal, right MrBig

I guess it's only a matter of time then for that new superior crypto to be dethroned, cause, you know, technological innovation happens fast.

Or maybe the next one is the ultimate form ?

 

Stop measuring the value using USD and everything will be fine

I could be delusional, but i'm not because of greed.
I was. When I buyed the little amount I could @ 1000 USD, greed was motivating me. I eard of btc before, but I thought they where only to buy drugs on internet.

Now i'm considerable more poor than before, but i've learned some lessons and a lot of things about btc. And I want more of them, because I HOPE they will success, and i'll do anything I can for it to be.

200 years? you have got to be kidding, the dollar in its current paper backed by nothing form doesn't have more than 20 years, and im pretty sure im giving it way more time than it'll have in reality.
all the central banks are at zero interest rate, they fired all their guns, that is it end of the road.
when another wave of market crashes occurs the only way out is by dropping money out of helicopters and completely destroying the dollar in the process.

before the Soviet Union collapsed no one could believe it will ever happen in their lifetime, and yet one day it practically happened overnight, you will not believe how fast the world transforms once the panic sets in.

Firstly I didn't call him a liar, but rather, asked him a question. Secondly, my username, which I happened to choose from a candybar wrapper that happened to be in front of me when I made this account, has no bearing whatsoever on this discussion. Thirdly, my irony statement was referring to the double standards of certain bitsheep and has nothing to do with millionaires on this forum.


Satoshi is said to have over 1 million btc, he's not your average btc holder. Either way, most people buying a few btc and expecting to become billionaires are delusional. People buying 1000 btc and expecting to become billionaires are delusional too. People buying btc without expectations and considering it a risk that may or may not pay off are thinking rationally.

I don't care about the price of btc in 25 years. Technological innovation happens fast, and it's only a matter of time before btc is dethroned by one or more superior cryptos.

I believe OP is referring to me. I will share my words of wisdom and help you all become rich by following my easy 3 step program.

1. It does not matter if you buy or sell, just as long as you do it in a panic.

2. Invest in lottery tickets.

3. Buy Coinye Coin, it is soon to replace all currency/fiat and has been estimated by professionals to be a 100+ trillion dollar market by 2015. Richness is *GUARANTEED.

*Warning, this is not a guarantee.

You're pretty broke now, huh bro?  Ask me how I guessed

Depends on how many one has...

It could happen to people with 4 digits amount in maybe 20-25 years

Do you think it's impossible for someone to become a billionaire holding BTC?

Satoshi was a billionaire for a couple of days !

If by logic you mean accusing him of being a liar and talking nonsense then right you are, Spock.  

Someone with the username 'MrBig' accusing random people of having 'billionaire fantasies' on a forum chock full of millionaires probably shouldn't throw the word irony around too much.

So how long should I hodl my btc until I become a billionaire?

It's ironic how someone who brings logic to the debate is dismissed as a troll by your likes, yet the one who spouts delusion is defended and justified, all because of greed.

There you go again. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
