Doge was at .72 when the Elon called himself the Dogefather on Saturday Night Live. It's now .17 cents.

How’s Reddit crypto doing today?

I’d be laughing harder but a good buddy of mine invested a fair amount into crypto because he believed in it/took bad advice from other friends. He’s down a fair amount, and I feel bad for him.

Top items in r/Bitcoin right now...

- A fake tech demo showing a "bitcoin payment" going through instantly in El Salvador.
- "I've experienced 3 market cycles now and it always feels like this."
- Meme video about not being worried about the roller-coaster ride
- "A reminder that China's crackdown on Bitcoin has been happening for years ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
- "After shutting down in Sichuan, a Chinese firm has successfully shipped 300 #Bitcoin miners to Kazakhstan. Over 2,000 more are on their way. #Bitcoin Magzine 🛡💝 Sounds Good 🤓🤓"
- "Bitcoin under $30k means I’m a whole-coiner now"

i do feel bad for some of these people who didn't know any better.

but everytime they open their stupid mouth about some "good news" regarding bitcoin... makes me hope they lose it all.
-----
there was the guy on the tiktokinvestors account who said he quit his job and sold all his long term retirement funds and also took all his savings and put that into btc when it was at 48k... when bitcoin started dipping after it's 60K peak he made a tiktok saying, "no one knows why its going down".... i wish i had seen that when he posted it because i wanted to ask him, "well, why was it going up?"

these people have no idea what bitcoin is other than something they hope will go up. that dogecoin guy is even sadder. he's lost well over a million dollars holding onto the doge he bought with his lifesavings.

For absolute easiest, you can do it on Robinhood or Coinbase for a nice slick interface of watching yourself lose money in real time.

musk allegedly sold all his coin at >50k or something like that, a bunch of crypto people were crying about it

Not sure how true it is, but I've definitely seem claims and even people posting the wallet address.

Fake ? FAKE?????

What could possibly be fake about a currency backed by a private organization whose interests are solely pinned on portraying the stability of said currency by claiming infinite assets to ensure that stability while dodging questions about the nature, origin, breadth, or type of assets used to stabilize that currency?

is there any sort of threshold or tipping point that'll force bitcoin past 30k if tether keeps printing money backed by nothing that every bitcoin zealot communally agrees is worth something? seems like if you claim you have infinite money and everyone else participating in the financial system decides to go along with it there's not a whole lot reality can do about it

almost certainly, but you won't know what it is until a while after we've already reached it

alternatively regulations to shut down trading would probably do it

Just tell your friend that for there to be winners there need to be losers.

With bitcoin it’s a coin toss and he came up short this time but better luck next time!

Too many people ask exchanges for real money instead of tether and the ponzi scheme implodes.

Lets see how the reopening goes.

I mean you can claim you have infinite money but at some point enough people will trade in their "investments" for some real currency at which point infinite money turns into "actually there was no money" and everything collapses. Right now there seems to be enough suckers entering with their real money to float the people who are cashing out.

That being said, I assume people are able to cash out of bitcoin? I've never actually met/heard from anyone who has.

This analogy makes it sound like the bitcoin coin toss (buttcointoss, if u will) was a 50/50 chance, which is extremely not the case

Not being able to cash out of bitcoin was more of a thing back in the MtGox days. Now that there are enough exchanges like Coinbase that are only moderately lovely and not outright fraudulent, it's not hard to get actual money out. When I sold my coin at around $63k, I was able to withdraw and had the cash in my bank account in a week. (And, looking at the prices today, I'm extremely glad that I realized that it was immoral to put any more USD into the crypto ecosystem and that I needed to get out of it completely.)
