Are we excited yet?

Eth the quickest to recover, can see that getting the ATH next. Money flowing into that in a big way.

Listening to a clip with Pom and he said 3 out of the last 4 times bitcoin broke the ATH, it doubled in 18 days.

Match madness ahead

And while I am on the crypto pumping memes topic: Forget taxi drivers, it's when you see a boards thread asking about the cost of buying and operating a private helicopter that you know it's goten serious.

Good timing

NEAR gone to the moon!

Which crypto are you talking about? Or are you talking about crypto in general in which case I point to the current fiat world where much of your fears already exist. Controlled by the government, impoverishing the average joe to pay for elections and promises to the masses which are rarely delivered and controlled by the ultra rich.

Anything has value if someone is willing to pay for it and it has the value of what that person is willing to pay. Your opinion is your opinion and your welcome to it however the financial system is changing and you either accept it or lose out. That is my opinion and I guess we'll see who's right over the next few years.

Pathetic. Imagine being so narcissistic to think your opinion is so valuable that you'd bother wasting your time navigating to a forum and thread about a topic just to let people interested in that topic know you don't like that topic. Get a life?

On top of making life changing money, one of the sweetest parts of crypto is getting to laugh at bitter people like this guy, and enjoy schadenfreude at the thought they've missed out and can't handle that so they displace their negative thoughts onto random strangers online who didn't lose out like them.

Keep maxing out your pension avcs and enjoy shooting the breeze on the breadline! 😂

It's garbage, but the money made from it is real. Maybe there will be global regulations one day, but so far, it's a wealth exchange on a plate. The patient taking cash from the impatient for artificially scarce digital tokens, mostly due to greater fool theory.

A couple of US states, like Colorado, will let you pay your taxes with BTC.

Years prior to thes two:

Seven US legislators have or had BTC holdings:

And back in the day, at least one US State government invested state funds in BTC. I can't off-hand remember exactly which one but the governor was a woman who was very chuffed with the success of her investment on behalf of her state.

US states are not drug dealers, paedophiles or arms dealers.

My BTC investment has easily been the best performing investment I have made.

People like the make money, including some politicians.

Whether it's Bitcoin, or Bitcoin cash, or Bitcoin SV, or Bitcoin ABC turned into Ecash, or Dogecoin, or whatever, it's all the same thing and (apart from the fundamentalists) it's just about making money at the end of the day. Which anyone, including certain politicians, are more than happy with.

It's investing people's desire to own something scarce, "the next big thing" and their unfailing ability to fall for hype and FOMO, which crypto delivers in spades (and not much else)

You appear to be completely clueless on this subject matter or perhaps you're merely an attention-seeking troll. BTC is not "the currency of the dark web". Privacy coins such as M0nero, Pirate Chain, ZCash etc are much more commonly used there. Everything on the BTC blockchain is highly visible and immutable so it would be extremely foolish to use it for criminal activities (although it certainly had a reputation for this in its early days). Tesla stopped accepting BTC due to pressure from the "environmentalists" and the climate cult and not because of its volatility. And it's more a store of value (similar to gold) than a means of exchange or a peer to peer currency nowadays.

I have no problem discussing these matters but can we make a separate thread for it please? We are away off topic.

" I agree that EV's are probably more detrimental to the environment from cradle to grave than a modern ICE"

They're not though. Battery extraction is horrific but the detractors always, "conveniently", omit the iron/aluminium of the engine block, the environmental impact of oil extraction/transportation/refinement, and the hundreds of oil spills.

Electricity generation is also far far more efficient (no matter the power plant fuel) than ICE, producing less pollution per tonne of fuel.

All this just to point out that the poster is spouting crap in every angle to attempt to bring everyone down.

All I know is that I'm up, a lot, for the first time in years and never risked more than disposable cash
