    You did nothing but sneer at people who were positive about Crypto when it was at a low point in the bear market a few years back

    You either have a great imagination or some kind of victim mentality. Some people on here are extremely sensitive and delicate. It's very very strange.


    If you want to sneer at the anonymous poster that said they didn't have 62k to invest, go ahead if it makes you feel better about yourself. Maybe you have it yourself. Maybe you don't. Who cares. You can make up whatever you want.

    Is this what you were referring to? Seems to be a previous exchange I had with you.



    Have you really been carrying around some kind of offence for the past 20 months or whatever? There isn't much point interacting with the likes of this.

    I always take profits where they exist and never listen to the diamond hands shite. Waste of time. The last big rush was a massive selling opportunity. If the candles are green and everything is parabolic and someone apes in, then they're already too late. I wait for the inevitable crash and DCA into things that I think might run in a year or two.

    As for BTC, I'm lucky to be holding some from mining it way back at the start. I was even luckier to not have lost that original wallet as it was just a nerd project to see what it done, once I seen people were buying pizza with it I let it run for a while. Just before the 2013 run my mining rig kicked the bucket and I just so happened to hold onto the remaining working components, wallet intact.

    I don't really know what the point of this post is. I feel like there's often people who just despise the Crypto market for a range of reasons, and in fairness, there are valid reasons. Then there are people who trade in the Crypto market and seem to view any kind of negative sentiment as an attack on their person. I would suspect this is due to the sheer volatility of the market. There are people who don't have a whole lot in life, who have (rightly or wrongly) put everything they've got into crypto in an attempt to improve their lot and this adds a massive amount of stress and anxiety in discussions. When you have posters coming in here and clearly stirring then there's going to be a response.

    Don't listen to the influencers. Have a plan. Take profits. Don't get greedy.

    Holding on from the early days is some serious diamond hands, I remember reading about it back in the day thinking it would never take of (full disclosure, I never thought internet banking would take of). Personally, if I bought in the early days for a single digits I think I would have cashed out before it hit triple digits let alone the groin wrecking later amounts.

    Kind of diamond hands? I dunno, I remember trying to recover the wallet during the first 4 digit boom and missing out on most of it (partly because online exchanges were non-existant then). Good luck I guess. I remember my dad making the point that I should just hold it as in the grand scheme of things I put very little in and markets tend to go up. So that's what I've done, I largely ignore BTC beyond how it affects the market and hopefully I'll end up with something to retire on before hitting 50. I did sell quite a lot in 2017 when it hit $2000 because I needed the cash and had no idea if that was the ceiling or not (turns out not).


    There's so many stories of people throwing out old hard drives and stuff from early days of mining and they'd be sitting on tens of millions. I feel for them, they were the true early adopters.

    Eth continues to look strong, recovering well from each pull back. Next one to go surely?

    I have a cousin who years ago, did a lot of work with a charity that helped those with physical handicaps. He was particularly close to one guy , getting to know him well over the years. He sadly passed away a few years back. My cousin is convinced that he had a lot of Bitcoin as he constantly talked about it. He has tried in vain to access it, going through all his old computers etc. His guy works for a large multinational and has plenty of contacts in the IT programming side of things. No joy.

    He is still very friendly with his family and he wants to get it for them. Sad really.

    Really it's the modern version of an old farmer dying having loads of cash stashed somewhere and never telling anyone about it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,621 ✭✭✭flexcon


    God bless Render.

    Got in at around 25cent. Took a punt at with 1K.

    BTC ATH incoming



  • Registered Users Posts: 939 ✭✭✭erlichbachman


    70K BTC



  • Registered Users Posts: 5,754 ✭✭✭el diablo


    And rejected again. Back to $67k. 😀

    We're all in this psy-op together.🤨



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,243 ✭✭✭Markus Antonius


    Each rebound will get smaller and smaller then there'll be a big FOMO pile-in when pushing for 80k+



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,838 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    Sold another 10%



  • Registered Users Posts: 119 ✭✭byrne249


    I recall reading some of your posts when it was sitting around 16k calling for another crash to 12k or lower and how you were waiting to buy, oddly perma bearish for anyone actively buying this stuff. With all that waiting around I'm surprised you have anything to sell. I'm guessing you have your buys ready to execute at 71k because you must know as well as anyone that in the next few weeks if the break out does occur you could be left a long way behind very quickly. Do you genuinely believe this is going to collapse 40% to make it worth your while paying CGT on it now?

    EDIT: And just to clarify, 40% is the minimum decline I would consider remotely acceptable for realising the 33% tax



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,838 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    I genuinely did believe it would hit a lower low than we get. Sure look we didn't.i was buying, not enough, but I was buying.

    I think we're near the top for this year. We'll dump 50%, and then smash ATH again. I'm bullish on BTC, just not coming into the summer.



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,967 ✭✭✭circadian


    Yeah I was hoping for a 12k dip too, I just done my usual alts DCA during that time. It's hard to tell what will happen this year, if the ETFs are starting to get momentum then I would expect SOL/ETH/Whatever else bundles to start getting put together.



  • Registered Users Posts: 19,829 ✭✭✭✭Donald Trump



    EDIT: And just to clarify, 40% is the minimum decline I would consider remotely acceptable for realising the 33% tax

    You should work out the maths on that.

    Let me give you an example scenario. Two people buy in the same amount at 15k. It later hits 75k.

    Person 'A' sells at 75k and pays their CGT. Buys back in with the net proceeds after a 20% drop to 60k.

    Person 'B' "hodls".

    If nobody makes any further changes, at what later price do you think that B becomes better off (either on paper or they both cash out at the same time) than A?



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,051 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Interesting that you think that we are near the top before the halving which historically has never happened. Not once. If you aren't bullish coming into a summer where interest rates are dropping, etfs are buying and the halving around the corner then I don't understand how you could ever be bullish.

    For the record as I think it's important. The Etf's own 4% of all available Bitcoin after less than 40 days. It's only the start.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,838 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    Interest rates dropping is not a bullish sign.



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,051 ✭✭✭BKtje


    It is actually in my opinion , people want a return on their money so go looking for riskier assets which will give them that return. Also more money sloshing around as people borrow money



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,838 ✭✭✭antimatterx


    It's an indication of a weakening economy. Not bullish. If the economy is strong with high interest rates, they will leave them high



  • Registered Users Posts: 8,051 ✭✭✭BKtje


    Not necessarily, interest rates in Switzerland for example have been low or even negative for a decade. Hardly a weakening economy though I confess an exception.

    When the fiat money tap is turned on everyone gets their some of the share via some kind of stimulus. Anyone who is comfortable invests that money. We saw this during covid. Down the line however the payment will be due and is generally paid via inflation and tightening again of the taps.

    Weakening economy is strengthend through stimulus which will also flow into crypto.

    It keeps on giving, probably worth having a look now at some of the smaller cap AI tokens too



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,328 ✭✭✭Potatoeman


    Kamino finance airdrop next month. Wormhole airdrop this/next month. These are current 5-10k each. Add the Pyth airdrop last month. Ridiculous free money being made. I’ll be dumping a half and buying back when they dump after the airdrops.

    Edit: Be careful with links, don’t just take the first one from google, there will be loads of scams about.

    If I had any clue of sleepers I'd have them posted.
