Whatever you are using to treat your bipolar right now man, is not working. At all. You are rapid cycling.

Ask me about my wealthy lifestyle and passive income! I love bragging about my wealth to my lessers! My opinions are more valid because I have more money than you! Stealing the fruits of the labor of the working class is okay, so long as you don't do it using crypto. More money = better than!

With a quarter century of experience I can assure you that that's your bipolar talking, dude. The first rule of bipolar is that you cannot trust your own feelings. It sucks, but it is the literal bedrock of dealing with this particular mental illness.

Once you are on the right level of meds you become a lot more laid back and measured in your approach to life.

Sorry for the derail, just calling Seraph out on his bullshit.

Cool. Fun fact: lived experience doesn't get you an honorary psych degree. As a mental health professional I'm inclined to disagree with your (presumably non-professional) armchair analysis, but let's set that aside. My friends, family, wife, and treatment team all think I'm doing great. Are they wrong, too?

Maybe Dr. TAD was the expert I needed in my life all along. What do you charge per hour, doc?

Yes, they are all wrong, as are you. I'm not sure why they are enabling your unhealthy behavior. This really isn't healthy for you at all.

You are way too easy to rile up, which SHOULD be a red flag for you regarding your current mental health, but alas.

Anyway, enough therapy for you today.

Bitcoin is terrible because:

Bitcoin can only do seven transactions a second which will never be able to compete with current established exchange systems

Bitcoin uses more electricity per transaction than my home does in a month

The blockchain contains child pornography which has forever tainted cryptocurrency.

and finally, bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme

Seraph is doing performance art, their constant reregs and voluminous shitposting illustrating how Bitcoin is a flashy and expensive hobby which ultimately produces nothing and is subject to arbitrary losses regardless of what the Bitcoiner does at an individual level.

Seraph's entire posting history is a testament to the central theme of Bitcoin, which is "the only way to win is to not play the game."

This is why the yospos thread is closed, because I don't want to encourage your manic behavior. And that's why this thread should be closed too until you get past your manic phase and stop buying accounts.

But I appreciate all the money you keep giving to the forums as long as you don't charge it back.

It would be best for you to stop buying new alternative accounts, which I hope you will do. But until then you are supporting the forums with each new account, which benefits the forums at your expense. 🤷‍♂️

FTFY. SA accounts are factored into my overall entertainment budget, I use an app called YNAB (You Need a Budget). I highly recommend it.

I'm usually a little uncomfortable with "take your meds" as a reply to someone but for Seraph it feels appropriate, like calling the police on Granos.

I do in fact recommend closing the bitcoin threads forever, yes. When the two usual suspects aren't trolling this thread it pretty much permanently lives on page 3 of GBS because no one cares. Other than number go up/number go down bitcoin hasn't actually done anything towards becoming THE FUTURE OF MONEY in at least 5-10 years now. None of the reasons for global adoption being a pipe dream have been solved, and in fact it's the opposite. There have been new innovations in the laffchain in that time, for example the QuadrigaCX guy faking his death and basically every HODLer in Canada losing their shirt, but it occurs super infrequently and gets drowned out by the usual suspects' dumb garbage anyway.

Let me be clear. Close the threads. Nothing of value would be lost.
