We're getting off topic here but I always read those "wife's son" posts as an indictment of the husband, not of the alpha male who's rawdogging her.

I understand what you're getting at but there's no floor.

If the price of bitcoin is lower than the cost of electricity rational miners will go offline. The market won't magically increase demand so that the poor miners can still break even or turn a profit.

Also, the issue is that a lot of miners aren't trying to make a profit, they're trying to launder money or evade currency controls. So it isn't a question of a profit as much as a question of acceptable losses

well if you want to get into the whole web of implications of cuck jokes:

the alt-right really likes making jokes about cuckoldry because it plays into a lot of their underlying assumptions about society, particularly that western society feminizes white men via feminism/white guilt/etc to the point that they're unable to satisfy women, who then go and have sex with black men because they're more "alpha" and sexually predatory, which is what women want in a sexual partner (but because they're also greedy whores, they remain married to their feminized husband, who provides the money for them to be hosed by black men--this is part of the feminist agenda, which allows them to prey off of vulnerable white men while still enjoying degrading treatment by "alpha males")

so yes, the cuck jokes are at the expense of the husband, but it's part of a broader narrative about how white men are actually the most oppressed class of people

I sold it all.

And then spent the next hour more depressed than I can ever remember being. So I said gently caress it and bought back in.

I'm one of the people that gets made fun of here and elsewhere. I got in in Nov 2017 because of the hype train. I didn't understand the tech, and I still don't on a granular level. Thankfully I stayed away from obvious shitcoins and kept things relatively conservative, and made a killing daytrading Ripple when it went briefly to $3, but then I lost big on multiple attempts to buy the Ethereum dip.

I put half my life savings into crypto, and I'm down 50% from my initial investment, which means I've lost 25% of my net worth. For me, that has at times felt like a death sentence. I'm a dramatic dude, I guess, and it hasn't helped that my stocks have tanked hard this year, too.

Maybe you're in a worse boat than I'm in. Which means you're probably thinking about running away now, too. Just a minute ago Bitcoin dipped to $4,998 on Kraken. Now seems like the time to exit. Surely the freefall isn't over.

But during that hour I cashed out, I thought back to that poster hanging on Lester's basement wall in season one of Fargo. You know: "What if you're right and they're wrong?" Everyone I meet in my day-to-day who has chastized me for investing in crypto knows almost nothing about the space.

What if I'm right and they're wrong?

I thought back to this post I made half a year ago and got downvoted to Hell for. And I realized... so far, I'm right. I just wasn't emotionally prepared for the implications of being right. This story doesn't end at 0. Stay in.

This is such an amazing paragraph, given that Lester's arc is killing his wife in a fit of impotent rage, getting played by an actual contract killer and thinking he's a badass, getting in over his head, and then being too much of a milksop to risk jail, so he freezes to death in a lake. It's Bitcoiner 101.

Bonus points: a key piece of evidence is a taped confession of asking the hitman to perform a kill!
