do I get this Breedlove guy right? he says that the only thing that is really scarce in our live is the time we are on this planet. the only other real scarce thing on earth is bitcoin. he wants to get paid in bitcoin, being as scarce as time itself, when he works, and not in fiat which isn't scarce at all and loses value constantly. when you get paid in fiat you get robbed time that you put into working, because the money they pay you devalues over time.

what would a central banker answer? "your life evaporates through your fingers while you try getting a grip on it. why not get paid in something that evaporates in the same manner? it keeps you running"

As someone that is now 100% paid in bitcoin across 3-4 different jobs/bosses, I'll tell you: its not as easy or as glamorous as it sounds. Granted I'm not raking in Andreas Antonopoulos-size money. Most of the time you still need to pay an extra fee (or two) to convert the bitcoin into usable cash, and I usually end up converting 90%+ of all earnings into cash anyway. There are a few things I can pay for directly with bitcoin, but not nearly as many as ideal.

Now that the dollar is obviously on the decline (and seemingly BTC on the incline), I try to put just a bit more aside into my BTC reserve. Cash is about the worst thing to save at this point, which goes against centuries-long instinct.

fly or die
Hello guys. I will read the last few pages to understand what happened yesterday, but I just wanted to talk about a funny email I just received.

It's in French, not perfect, but not "nigeria prince" bad. With HTML, pictures and all.

And it tells me to invest in "facebook's Libra", which last time I checked didn't exit. The really funny part is that in big it says Libra is 20 times better than other cryptos, and that it will get 20 times bigger, in price admittedly. Why ? Because it's designed to have a stable value, unlike bitcoin.

Does not compute...

Doomed to see the future and unable to prevent it


The question is, why aren't you though?

"Bitcoin maximalism" isn't just about those who have a stake in BitcoinTM believe everything else is a scam; it's about the belief that Bitcoin is so complete in the functionality and security it provides, that no other crypto coins are necessary to even exist. Period.

Therefore creating shitcoins, shilling them, owning them, or even trading them is defacto stupid and pointless. And those that do are regarded with a loss of trust and common sense at best, and at worst are seen as complete scammers.

An analogy would be in the Precious Metals world, but a world in which a constant supply of laboratory-created "fool's gold" metals were created, shilled, owned and traded on the open market. Why even do that when you can just own Gold or Silver? The only people that will gain anything by creating and shilling fake metals would be the scammers that created them.

You answered your own question, until bitcoin has a base layer fungibility solution it is not complete and cannot provide Every usecase.

Self-Custody is a right. Say no to"Non-custodial"
I don't know how some people expected this to go to the moon without really retesting the previous huge resistance. For full year, we were trying to break 10500 and now we should go to ATH or 16k without retesting it but for 10 minutes in that flash crash from the first time we went to 12k.

No chance, zero logic in that. That level needs to be properly tested for bull run to continue.


Tone Vays and some of his following used to spout out that kind of nonsense regarding having to retest $1,300, and they were arguing that point for much of 2018, 2019 and maybe even in 2020... it's just nonsense talk to say that we "have to" test down support before we are ready and able to go up.

What I fucking hate is that this is lowering my chances to accumulate bitcoins trading alts as they shit themselves as soon as bitcoin farts.

You should not be fucking around with alts anyhow.  Many of us in this thread are neither here to talk about shitcoins nor to hear about other members and their poor judgement choices to be involved in shitcoins.  

Thanks for advice, but honestly, I don't give a flying fuck what are you here for. So, with all due respect, kindly fuck off with your patronizing bullshit, this thread is 90% about everything except what it is for and I have 0 need to ask you for permission what to write about and to care about what you care about. Stick your orders to your arse. Cheers

To not repeat myself, same applies to anyone who quotes me with same kind of crap. Cheers to you too.

It appears that you have a real "great" ability to handle your temperature.. Hopefully, you did not sell too much of king daddy, too soon while wishening that it were to go down before up.

Should there be a prayer for you, too, that you are not letting shitcoins fog your lil brain, to the extent that you have any such thingie-ma-jiggie beyond the argument and the defensiveness buttons, BIG boy.  

If I knew your grandma, I would give her a call, and tell her to take you down some milk and cookies, right away.  Surely you are working diligently with important and insightful analyses. Wink

The Concierge of Crypto
I have used BTC in the past to buy random stuff from amazon. Also use it to transfer around to fiat banks in other countries. I also bought some silver bars (then sold that a couple years later.).

And oh, of course, I rolled some on SatoshiDice a long time ago.

BTC is not just for hodling, although you can do that too.

I ended up blowing my whole wad at Pornhub.

LOL. Most people do that for free you know.

Hopefully they gave you some special perks, like a free poster or beer coozy.

But on behalf of the rest of us... thanks for supporting the arts.
