The Crypto Thread

tbf this was obvious from a mile away and I see hilariously bad security practices all the time but the stuff coming out right now is legitimately blowing my mind

To be fair I haven’t seen anyone post here that uses it I don’t think.

I did, lol. for some bullshit quick thing I had to do.

I’ve not posted about it publicly, mostly in private chats, but i’m uhhhhh a bit bearish on all of this to say the least and I’m trying not to get a kick out of this because I think a lot of people are really going to be hurting soon

Even then, I’m assuming ~everyone here entered and exited such that it doesn’t really matter what the price goes to now.

perfect case study is my old roommate a while back showing me how he’d run up $100 into like $10k from riding the early dogecoin wave… I was like sweet what are you gonna do with it? (keep in mind he’s been paycheck to paycheck his entire life and outside of tax refund season doubt he’d ever seen more than $2k in his account at once)

he looked at me quite puzzled, as if I was the biggest fool in all the land, and said he was gonna ride it to the moon. there’s so many people out here like this

I’m sure there are people here who believe cryptocurrency will retain value long term at some level. I do. The question is what level. Is that BTC $10 or BTC $100K? I have no clue.

People here seem awfully mad for a bunch of guys who sold out at the top.

It doesn’t really matter. If anyone suffered net losses I’m sure it was money they could afford to lose.,

You don’t get from $100 to $10k in doge without believing in the first place.

I do worry what the broader effects of crypto tanking do to the economy. That many people losing their retirement funds surely isn’t going to be optimal.

But they’re posting funny memes about it going down…

I want to know what happens when anti-government types lose faith in crypto as a way to bring down government.

Don’t think all that many cryptobros give a rip about taking down the US or even libertarianism, really.

The libertarian bros will tell us government ruined crypto because that’s their response every time a libertarian thought experiment doesn’t pan out in real life.

I’d be running out of there, knocking people down like George escaping that children’s birthday party

You seem like a miserable person.

Seems like a strong reaction to a tweet about energy use and a NYT article!
