You know you can just embed the original, right?

Yes, I know. But some people (me) have twitter embeds off because it makes reading the forums crappy, especially on awful.app

And I have a screenshot app that can upload to imgur with 2 clicks. If me spending 10 seconds can make the world a better place by not embedding yet another 2.5mb of twitter's scripts into a post, why wouldn't I?

ok folks it look bad but what we see developing now is the classic 'golden arches' pattern. if you look for similar cases in the date range from 2007-2013 between March and April over 50% of the time they end up increasing over the following week or week after. so stay calm!

It's the "golden arches" pattern because you end up working at McDonald's.

Screenshotting tweets is also a good idea if it is something extra stupid in case the person deletes it. That one wasn’t but also a good idea to ss regardless .

You guys are all idiots. Those are 3D charts, not just lines going up and down. If you look at them from the right angle you can see the lines have depth. It looks like a classic Thomas Slump, but the real chart shows a Finger-Thumb Bounce. BTC's depth is $100k, even if it only looks like it is worth 20k.

You have to use an extra axis to plot bitcoin since the returns are imaginary.

The more you kick against the pricks, the more you suffer.
I feel like Bitcoin does actually have a floor. There will be a certain point where all or most of the real money has been taken out leaving people free to trade their unwithdrawable coins back and forth for as much monopoly money as they want in a bid to draw in more real money suckers.

"screen cap you enemies, retweet* your friends."

I heard this bit from a public radio segment about trying lessen the amount of rage and maddness that social media has caused, and while think the advice is a bandage, the logic is that screen capping prevents any of your posting / internet enemies from getting any more positive metrics for themselves or their THEALGORITHM ranking , and retweeting or doing literally any form of interaction with your friends/parasocial pals helps your THEALGORITHM feed and their THEALGORITHM ranking.

copy pasting just the birdpost text or the article title is also good enough imo.

Nah it's bigger than that. For all the talk of it's value, you can only get as much fiat money out of it as people have/are willing to put into it. I suspect that all the real money will be long gone before it all zeros out and all these coins will have pretend value with no way to cash out.

I suspect Celsius are going to be some of the most toxic clients possible. If they're not asking their attorneys to commit crimes already, it's because they haven't gotten past the introductions yet.

They'll continue to LARP finance and assign their coins imaginary values in US$.

I open Twitter links in private windows so I'm not getting a bunch of Twitter cruft in my browser. Pretty frequently people embed Twitter links that go dead, and I also have the issue where people embed tweets that are age-restricted and since I don't have a Twitter account they will forever be mysteries to me. Because gently caress starting a Twitter account.

Open them in Duckduckgo. I don't have an account, the most I get is a little slide up reminder that I should sign up (less than half the screen, can be dismissed). On chrome, the slide blocked the whole page and couldn't be dismissed.

Or try incognito mode or whatever equivalent.

I'm posting from a desktop.

I do use Duckduckgo as my primary browser on my phones, but there I'm using the Awful app. I do have the Duckduckgo tracker blocking service on my phones, so at least Twitter isn't getting any data from me.

Bigger than that. Bitcoin is still a uniquely useful tool for laundering money and scamming people. All of the other coins may wither and die, but IMO Bitcoin will always retain some sort of name value. I mean, People are still trying to sell beanie babies for 1500 bux, and are moving product at 20 bux a pop for a lovely stuffed bear

On top of that, I dont know the marketing term specifically but there's Bitcoin True Believers now. They'll butcher the code to run on pocket calculators and create their own sneakernet before they ever let it hit zero value.
