I read the r/relationships thread months behind because it literally generates more posts than a human can read in a day, and just came across a very lol page from October 21st this year.

Many good posts.

Thanks to Bitcoin, I had a moment today where I decided that I need to start looking for a new job.

My boss said that he envisioned a key part of the new data platform we're building to be "blockchain-esque." It's a retail data analytics platform. About as far from blockchain as one should be. I was 90% sure he was full of poo poo and will lead us into ruin before today. Now I'm 100% sure.

THANKS BITCOIN!

Could you imagine going on a crypto-cruise? Imagine no more

quote:

All of this is a sign of a micro-economy in trouble, as Muhammad Salman Anjum, an investor who eats dinner alone by himself in the buffet hall each night, explains. He has a pragmatic take on all these beautiful young women having blockchain exhaustively explained to them by schlubby-looking guys who can’t believe their luck. ”One of the elements in blockchain is about fundraising the ICOs. So you can guess why they are here—to pamper the investors. Because it’s tough now.”

In 2017, Salman says, it was relatively easy to raise funds for a nine-figure ICO. Now that crypto prices have crashed, demand on “the supply side of the ICOs is booming, and the demand for the investors is shrinking.” Since the actual mood at this moment is conservative-going-on-terrified, these glamorous models seem to have been hired to give the ship—and the passengers’ selfies—the glitzy appearance of the boom times of 2017.

So $3250 is the current bottom. It can't go any lower than that. Just like $6k was the bottom for a long time. Hmm....Then $3k will probably be the new bottom. Fun times.

Let me tell you about lottery tickets, my friend. They sell the things for a couple bucks, every once in a while one is worth millions. You can even go back week by week and see the winning numbers and wish you would have picked them that week.

you can't think of it from this perspective. you have to think about it like this:

"even if i had bought/mined/accepted bitcoin, unless i kept it all in a completely offline wallet, i would've lost it all in mtgox, billion-dollar backdoor heists, storing it exchanges that were never legitimate to begin with, or any other number of other ways that people who were just waiting for their btc to appreciate have lost it over the past decade."

If there was a way to prove that the mined coins to date are still accessible by their owners (regardless of how they were gained), I’d wager a bet that it’d be about 20% of the coins out there, max. Weren’t more than half of the coins mined to date done so in the first like 3 weeks the network was up regardless, and the first person to mine (all hail Satoshi) literally has like 25% of the loving coins in existence?

I think that most of the people getting into this thing don’t realize how “get rich quick” relies on the first people in gaming the suckers, and that as of today the game is 100% suckers.
