Gold doping...less of an issue than I originally thought (gold was still 99.99% pure, apparently), but Perth was apparently selling bars to SGE that were not up to their particularly high standards.
Allegedly, it was going on since 2018...and all they wanted was to 'save' 620K a year.
I still say that a retail customer ordering a 1oz or even a kilo don't really know what he/she gets...it is all based on trust.

Still yet another reason to buy silver bars vs gold.

Better yet buy BTC.

silver bars value per weight is roughly 1/100 of gold.
I am not going to store chunks of metal at home, hence no go for me, but i got a tiny bit of "fake" silver-SLV ETF, play amounts.

I think I have at least a few bars of five oz and ten oz.

But yeah holding five hundred oz would be p.i.t.a.

and 500 oz is close to 0.500 btc

buddy 23

so I won again.

I also succeeded it keeping buddy in one of the flattest slots ever for the last 99 hours .

about 1% range from 22.1 to 22.5 with 22.3 being the midpoint.

lets test this out.

I will not compete on Tues and unleash buddy to do as he pleases. in about 1 hour and fifty minutes.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
I had one conversation today with a friend about Bitcoin. He said he saw Bitcoin in the news and it dropped a few 1000 and he said the bubble is bursting. I got angry because I have heard him say this before and he says it every time Bitcoin goes down. He knows I am invested and he might be trying to look out for me but I think it is more sinister and he is trying to make me convert my Bitcoin into euros. He does not gain any thing from it so I do not know why he teases me about it being a bubble every time we see a decline.

I responded telling him that he says it every time and that Bitcoin has always recovered but he shrugged it off and said it will end eventually. I gave up and I do not feel like educating him about Bitcoin because I think he will ignore the facts and continue to say stupid things.

Yep.

No coiners can be like that, especially thinking that sooner or later they are going to be right, and sometimes they are right for 3 years or so.. and perhaps he could even be right for longer than that.

I don't really know what to do about these kinds of people either.. and for me, since I have been in bitcoin for quite a long time, many of them have shut up quite a bit because, even though there sometimes have been 2-3 year periods in which the BTC price is down, they don't really have any comeback when I suggest that my average price per corn is below $1k, so I could give few ratts' asses if the price might be down because my overall holdings is in profits.. and even if it may well seem that my profits are ONLY on paper, I have material advantages in life because there are some things that I have bought that I likely would not have been able to buy if I did not have my bitcoin investment (and sometimes those things were bought without credit... and for sure without worry in terms of my having to second guess if I get the less expensive version).. .. so yeah, sometimes it could take a while for the desire for "I told you so" to fade away.. because I am thinking of one person that has had so many chances to get into bitcoin, and when BTC prices were just above $20k-ish.. in early-July-ish.. I was suggesting that those were good prices to establish a BTC position, especially if someone did not have any cornz.. which he did not .. and he said "what if this is the top?" and I said that it could be the top.. and yes.. he could be right about that.. so surely it is up to him, and then sure he was right, for a while.. and we saw some challenging times for bitcoin prices throughout the second-half of 2022.. so yes.. he was right, he was right, he was right.. for a while.. .. so I don't know the answer about whether he is going to be right again, but I am pretty sure that he will not be buying bitcoin for the next few years, so I am pretty sure that we may well be revisiting the topic of bitcoin again in 2-4 years.. and perhaps.. he will be right this time?  Perhaps?  

I mean he was not right in late 2014... but he was for a while..   And then he was not right in  late 2016... .. and he also was not right in early 2019.. .. so will he be right this time?  Perhaps? perhaps?  I don't claim to know the future, even if I am prepared for the possibility for bitcoin to go up (and sure maybe I have a wee bit more cornz than necessary), but he is not prepared at all for the BTC price to go up because he has none.. and every time that he has gotten any, he sold way too much too soon... and he just did not have anything much stronger than lettuce hands.. and perhaps that might be part of the reason that he is so ongoingly bitter about the whole topic.. even though I do see him a few times a year.. some years more than other years, but our paths do cross quite regularly.. and I generally do not rub it in too much directly.. but it should be somewhat obvious, at some point, perhaps?  Perhaps?

Not a big gold fan as I prefer silver, but my largest personal hold of any investment is wait for it:

BTC

Wait?


Wait?

Buddy last 96 posts are as flat as I have ever seen them.

Since march 2nd every post has been 22.1k to 22.6k




Really flat run for 96 buddy posts





I am wondering if I need to quit racing him as it seems to have caused a very very very flat number on his part.


Less then 1% up or down for 4 days in a row for each hour.


also I trail 20 to 21

 edit it is a tie 21 to 21


I wonder if I lose today if his flat streak ends. and if that is true will we drop or rise.

Gold and BTC investors are at a very crucial moment, are investors buying gold and are they ready to buy BTC?

It may be that I'm making bad speculations, it just came to my mind.

Fuck gold.

There is nothing crucial in regards to the two.

 Bitcoin is around 1/20th the price of gold and bitcoin is about 1,000x or so more valuable than gold.

So you do the math in terms of whether any "crucialities" are happening in regards to bitcoin versus gold.

By the way, sure it could take 100 to 200 years before gold/bitcoin find their appropriate prices relative to one another - but still in the short term which one do you consider to be easier to "verify"

Which one do you consider to be easier to transport?

Which one do you consider to be easier to divide?

which one do you consider to be easier to self-store and transact with and not necessarily to involve any third parties?

You can fuck around with gold all you like, if you think that it's going to be helpful to you in the next 4-10 years or more or whatever might be your investment time horizon.. yet part of the reason that we do not have much if any discussions in this thread regarding gold versus bitcoin since 2014 to 2019-ish, is because a large number of folks have already gotten the memo.. ... oh yeah, I forgot that there was a wee bit of a spell between about March and July-ish 2020 that the gold-tards were getting excited about their shiny metal relative to bitcoin.. but you should be able to look at the charts to see how that actually played out.. good luck with your shiny rock collection.. its all nice and everything, but relative to my lil precious (aka dee cornz) give me a break.   Roll Eyes Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

Not a big gold fan as I prefer silver, but my largest personal hold of any investment is wait for it:

I have a very close friend that is amazingly a flat earther.

…..

Tell him to start a Flat Earth thread on up coming April Fool’s day.
That’s never been done before, though of course, something that ridiculous will never last more than a few pages.
Oh wait a minute ……
