Not flinching on BTC. Never will. Hold if you can IMO.

That's how you go bust at the casino.

We shall see…I used to gamble when I was younger. Don’t believe this is one of those times.

I used to gamble when I was younger. I still do. But I used to, too.

I sold yesterday at 106k. Will get back in if/when it dips to 80's. That's the play I think, pick and choose windows. Bitcoin might or might not be stupid and have no practical value, but it's long past the exit velocity to make it a tradeable commodity with very little risk (unlike every alt-coin).

Maybe it's time to dip back in....

Missed the boat on the $TRUMP pump, I wonder how fast it'll dump

Totally normal for the president to be promoting his own currency

I gotta say, selling US Treasury gold bars in order to buy more Bitcoin is just about the dumbest fucking thing I've ever heard of.

Shhh, it's OK, you have your instagram feed to distract you so you don't have to think about any of the horrific shit going on around you.

Wait, it wasn't already a store of value?? Somebody should tell all that crypto investors!

I don’t see how you could call anything a store of value that has the volatility of crypto.

Well, it's a lot like how a bucket with a buncha holes in it is a "store of water."  Works fine....so long as people keep pouring more water into it.  But once the music/water stops.....

The correlation with tech/stocks has been interesting. Especially when you read anything about why it was created. It’s nice to finally see that separation happening. It was just a matter of time IMO.

What does that chart tell you?

Well, real estate is viewed as a store of value. As you can see the price of homes is appreciating more than cpi over time as the money printing continues. Bitcoin is beating that performance solidly. 
 

In fact pick any of the big ticket items people want or need, house, higher education, health care. All rising much faster than cpi or wages. Bitcoin has appreciated quicker than them over time. So for example it takes less bitcoin to pay for 4 years of tuition then it did in the past. Store of value.

The only people consistently wrong in here are the snotty tech libs in this thread. Please fire them from a cannon into a tube sock with the rest of their theories

To be so proudly wrong about something for the better part of a decade is kind of impressive. It’s like they don’t know there’s a scoreboard where you can see if something is “working”.

lmfao the feds disbanded their crypto enforcement team. Can't be scooping up the president's family in your scam enforcement actions

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-justice-dept-disbands-cryptocurrency-enforcement-unit-2025-04-08/

I mean if you don't mind holding a tiger by its tail, seems like a great time to jump in. Gonna be lots more money moving around with less legal enforcement

the enforcement disbandment has a bit more reasoning behind it now

Imagine having confidence in an "asset" that has now been fully co-opted as a tool of self-enrichment by a regime that has amply demonstrated that it will manipulate the market at will to facilitate the massive enrichment of a chosen cadre of insiders.

Crypto is now an effective wealth-transfer mechanism from the rubes to the Regime's inner circle.  Every other ostensible "purpose" is secondary.

Did anyone get a chance to buy that dip over the last 6 weeks or so? Fortuitous timing with my tax refund and some escrow money being released. Tariff wars are good long term for bitcoin, but bad in short term. Seems like time was ripe for building/adding to positions. Look for opportunities with future dips.

No technician here, but looks like we’re getting closer to taking the next leg up. Maybe another small dip or two, but then boom imo.

I'm surprised you're not jumping onto the $TRUMP action, it also spikes up massively in volume at the same point in time in late April

I have 1000 shares of MSTY in my individual account. Looking forward to the monthly payout next Friday. The synthetic positions in the fund fucking ate this last month.

MSTR earnings tomorrow if anyone wants to play a game. Has been building up pretty rapidly towards the date. 

Have seen a couple projections of MSTY paying close to 2.50 /share this month after ending last month with about 680 million in synthetic income. Income per share was something like $4 if I’m remembering right. 

I had faith in the low 80s that we would get back to all time highs soon, but not enough to buy more. At least I hodled.

I was really hoping to load up on xrp before the next surge. I managed to get a fraction of my goal. I hope this isn't the next big move.

Coinbase up 24% on inclusion to S&P 500

Crazy. They announced yesterday that they got hacked, and that it will cost them up to $400M to make their customers whole, and the market just doesnt care. Recovered all of their losses and then some today, because who cares they cant fucking do their job. 

They’re included in every S&P 500 index fund now. They were front run by 24%.

400 million is pennies

I only stop through here anytime I want a good laugh or to see who our future grifters will be. If these people would just admit that crypto is a gigantic pyramid scheme I'd have a modicum of respect for their hustle. Trying to pretend this is anything other than that is a disingenuous lie at best and outright thievery at worst.

You are literally so braindead that you have no idea that you actually just made the strongest possible argument for bitcoin and against the US dollar LOL. 

Businesses are always allowed to change their mind given changing conditions, but fairly big deal that Jamie Dimon will allow his customers to buy bitcoin. He was so stauchly opposed to it in the past and he's still expressing his reservations with this announcement. At the time I'm writing, it's unclear exactly what Chase will and won't allow when it comes to buying bitcoin. From the language they may actually allow customers to buy it, but they (Chase) won't be a custodian for you.

If the USD goes "poof"....pray tell, what GOOD will your crypto be?  How will you use it to procure goods and services here in the "we don't actually have a currency" USA?  Will you be able to access the internet?  Use electricity?

If the USD goes "poof," none of that shit will matter or be in play.

If you are investing in a hedge against the dollar's complete and total collapse, as a resident of this country, you'd be much smarter investing in crates of ammunition.

Cannot wait to see what happens when Vanguard opens up their wallet for Bitcoin. It will happen.
