Gold is still cool, right? Asking for a friend.

Gold is a great store of value. But if you have the apocalypse in the back of your mind, gold sucks for trading. A standard gold coin is worth like $1300 or whatever the price is. Compare that to silver, where a coin is $15-20. I'd definitely recommend putting the bulk of the money into gold and storing that in a proper vault, and then a fraction in silver just in case the revolution ever comes and you need something you can actually trade for bread.

I think goons once again called the death of Bitcoin early.

There are a lot of dumbheads screaming that the sky is falling every time the price drops. You'll notice these people tend to be new to the thread, and don't know much about investing.

The vast majority of us are saying it will crash, but probably because of people being forced to pay taxes and admit they used their coins to buy child porn, rather than any amount of flaws in the network or major exchanges stealing people's money, since that doesn't seem to deter anyone the idiots who still put their actual savings in this stuff.

Somehow I doubt paying taxes is going to crash an asset showing 50% gains per month. Like oh no i have to lose 10% of my 20x gains, I better not put any more money into this!

If you're willing to live in your car for any significant length of time of your own volition, why do you even need to be rich? Just be happy forever.

Gold and silver are some the worst investments/speculations you could have made in the last 40 years. They should only be used as a hedge against economic uncertainty.

A dude I know at work is trying to hype us on this again, he is like YOU HAVE 2 bitcoins? I'm like yeah as a joke. It's kinda funny how browsing Craigslist or whatever and there is bit miners for sale and everything. Anyways, I sold my 2 bitcoins to my coworker, and my wallet.id thingy is gone. so yeah you can sell bitcoins just find an idiot. Easiest 11k I'll ever make, off the books even!

also, gas stations around here began selling beanie babies again. I should buy those next right?

edit : my wallet thingy isn't empty after all, anyone want .002695 buttcoins? lol this whole thing is really bizarre.

If you're seriously giving away $27, instead consider buying me a cool (or retarded and embarrassing) avatar (assuming you have a coinbase acct here i guess)

Here's a guy eating his left nut because btc hit 10k before 2017 was out

quote:

When I made the statement 2 years ago at this point, bitcoin was much less mature and far lower in value. I had always believed that at some point it would hit 10k, but I didnt believe it would be before the end of 2017. Needless to say, I was wrong.
