The former is a misspelling of "hold" which has become canon among buttcoiners because they're idiots, the latter is acronym for "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt," which buttcoiners use to describe literally anything that might not be good for bitcoin for the same reason.

I like how buttcoiners use accusations of "ponzi scheme" as a self-evidently ludicrous criticism, but even thinking about it just a little bit makes it obvious that cryptocurrencies are the perfect ponzi scheme.

They're exchanged like commodities even though they have no real physical utility, so they're not a real commodity. Because they're exchanged like commodities their prices are also too volatile to be realistically used as a currency. So the only way for cryptocurrencies to increase in value, is to get new people to buy in to the scheme until the prices become ludicrously inflated.

It's not a cult, they just have insular memes that are esoteric to all outsiders which get ritualistically repeated over and over again. :smug:

the bitcoin talk forums has, or had i havent checked, an entire forum to "honest ponzis"


i would be extremely happy with consistent 10% gains every six months.

i was loving around in the cernovitch AMA and when i noticed his defenders (there werent really a lot but some) happened to be altcoiners who likely listen to his crypto podcast i started dropping that i work in finance. they really dont like it when you ask what kind of dividends bitcoin pays or if their investments are covered by the SIPC (securities investor protection corporation, basically FDIC for investments)

also coincidentally i was doing a report for a client we were trying to get to sell some unmanaged stock by comparing cumulative performance of our portfolio against the stock. i had to learn to do some stuff on one of our bloomberg terminals. that stock was Proctor & Gamble. it was worth 73 at the beginning of 2008 and now its 85 or something. but if you owned $10k worth in 2008 and reinvested all dividends back into PG youd have something like a 66% return overall.

which is bullshit and why im taking out a loan against my 401k to buy bitcoin

It's basically just one group of speculators ripping off another much bigger group of speculators, but unlike other exchange markets there's no real economic activity going on to inform the price changes.

i havent followed the yospos bitcoin thread in forever but one of my favorite stories was when the bitcoin people defeated the bearwhale

basically some large holder was sellilng off a ton of coins and tanking the price. the entire community raillied together to throw money at the problem. in the process they helped inflate the price so the bearwhale could cash out at a higher price point and pissed away more money

they celebrated this with pictures and songs and memes and poo poo

This work commemorates the day of October 6, 2014. An unnamed investor, the so-called bitcoin BearWhale, dumped approximately 30,000 bitcoins on the market. Over the course of six hours, the price stalled at $300 until all of the coins were sold off and the evil BearWhale was slayed.

This is literally getfiscal's joke about useless fiat currencies.

https://www.cnbc.com/2014/10/09/bitcoins-bearwhale-and-the-future-of-a-cryptocurrency.html

This cnbc article about the bearwhale has a bunch of quotes from bitcoin enthusiasts about how amateurish the bearwhale seller was for trying to dump that many coins all at once, and doesn't at all address the fact that they basically pooled their resources together so he could sell them all at the market price he wanted to, and then some. The guy made off with millions of their dollars because they had to maintain confidence in the cult.

tim draper is in that article. hes the 5 or 6 california guy or whatever. basically just a pissed off california republican who is angry that cali dumps a huge load of EC votes to the dem candidate every cycle. he bought one of the FBI auctioned bitcoin lots i think and is most famous for having a custom made tie showing how he would divide california
