I-bonds
silver
btc
for now.
I have hodl the ibonds
I have stacked more btc and hodled it
I have stacked a bit more silver and hodl it.
plus lots and lots and lots of gear almost all sha-256 based s19s and up.
So it was never i-bonds or btc for me.
it was both.
I am not sure if I can agree to stop picking on your ideas and/or even exaggerating what you had said and/or done.. except maybe if you were to apologize then maybe I might consider the matter.. but no guarantees.
(see below.. don't bother apologizing. It is not going to work to stop me, anyhow)Right around September/October 2022, you let us know that you sold some BTC at around $20k-ish.. At a subsequent time you claimed it was higher than $20k but whatever, but you were spending a lot of dissing BTC and promoting IBonds during that time frame, and then when BTC prices were around $16k-ish (November/December 2022) you were pumping (promoting) Ibonds in a seemingly even greater way as if they were the best next thing since sliced bread and talking about your BTC buy orders down around $12k, and maybe you were even suggesting that you were going to be decently well prepared for sub $10k, so even if you may have ended up doing something that was balanced in terms of your own BTC versus cash versus shitcoins versus IBonds holdings
(I recognize that there may well be some personal limits on those crappy IBonds anyhow), your seemingly ongoing then recommendations were not very good generally applicable ideas.. even though there were a lot of others saying similar stuff around that same time.. I had relatives saying the same things right around that time, and it would have had been a great time to get into bitcoin, even though some of that crap (Ibonds) did have some attractive aspects for people who value their wealth in fiat. .and maybe who fail/refuse to appreciate having a decent amount of value in bitcoin (or at least some stake for the low coiners and no coiners who likely would benefit greatly by either getting the fuck off zero and/or being a bit more aggressive in their bitcoin allocations).
Sure you may well have never ended up over extending your lil selfie in terms of selling too many BTC (which surely is relative) because it does seem that in the past several years you have been focusing more upon building (and/or holding) bitcoin than you had done in your earlier BTC times (maybe prior to 2019 or so), but you still seem to have your own kinks and some of your own jaded fiat loving biases that might not even be a bad thing for a person of your age and also someone who has income that comes through mining bitcoin and your choices to mine shitcoins while acting as if it were the right thing to do (which is debatable rather than a for sure "good idea" even if you make more BTC/dollars from that approach rather than sticking with just bitcoin).
Upon further reflection and my typing out this response,
I don't really want you to apologize.. I would rather keep using these kinds of conflicting ideas that people have (not ONLY uie-pooie) as talking points that show how sometimes the way that we talk about bitcoin can surely change depending on price momentum (and some people refer to as market sentiment), and I don't even intend any of my criticisms to be personally about you, and I kind of like that you argue some of the somewhat dumb (but commonly held) points.. and maybe it is even better that you actually believe some of them.. and sure you do have some good ideas and presentations of various on the ground and inside mining
(and even life-advice) facts sometimes too, so I am not going to proclaim you as if you were a troll/shill/government agent or anything like that, even though sometimes it does seem possible that you might not really be talking from a freedom orientation because your status quo butt kissing nonsense does get pretty GRANDE from time to time... but even with that.. you do seem like you are probably a real person.. so that seems to be worth something, so long as the evidence is still tending to support those kinds of "real person" conclusions.
