I remember when I had excess money so I opened a market account with some money I had in savings... in April 2008 It was not fun watching that implode.

kw0134 posted:Also posing the question as it originally phrased is wrongly binary, because you can't predict what precisely the peak will be you'll take your profit along the way so that you're realizing gains and reducing your risk (and your profits, to be sure) but you'll still capture a good portion of the value of the move by sizing down as it gets higher. The choice is not "sell everything at an unpredictable peak" and "never sell and ruin your life". the real thing to realize is that money has diminishing marginal utility. if you're sitting on $45 million of paper gains while you are, uh, not previously a multi-millionare, the change in your life from selling now, right now, sell it now is way, way more than the change from that point to you having $90 million instead. your losses will hurt more than your gains. of course its going to be hard as hell to pull your money out at that point but you've got to realize that at that point more money is basically a high score but less money has a real impact on your life. well, less money after a certain point, you're probably fine with losing a million or two at that point.

Nah they're still a smug rear end in a top hat trying to preach bullshit where they aren't welcome. You can see in the first post they intend to come back and lecture about the evils of capitalism and nowhere do they say they got rid of all their bitcoin or decry the damage cryptocurrency is doing to the planet. In fact I think there was always some shade of THE REAL ISSUE IS CAPITALISM AND BITCOIN FIXES THIS, so, yeah, can't wait for the same old song and dance if number go up again.

I know this archetype. True or false, it's the same narcissistic archetype trying to find the right combination of buzzwords to attract approval. That's it. Some clear remaining belief in crypto remains, because narcissists may not be able to believe in humans but they sure can believe in fairy farts.

Blotto_Otter posted:color me skeptical about a seraph post that apologizes for bad vibes, but doesn’t apologize for or even acknowledge makin’ money off an enterprise that is absolutely devastating for the environment I have mixed feelings on supporting bitcoin these days, on the one hand it disempowers nation-state governments, which is great, as they're terrible because they all support capitalism. On the other it's horrible for the environment, which is loving terrible. My feelings on it however don't matter one iota to bitcoin, nor do yours. Bitcoin is a genie out of the bottle and nothing and no one can put it back in while the incentives of wealth generation still exist. In other words, we will use it (and everything else) to suffocate ourselves if we don't abolish crapitalism. The entire system has to go, yesterday, before it takes us down with it.

Eco Warrior Seraph posted:Video game graphics cards for rich white kids that burn the electricity of a microwave so they can scream slurs down their mics while owning other kids at call of duty, but no one here sees any problem with that. Crypto miners bought 700,000 graphics cards in the first 3 months of 2021, enough to give each of those kids, their parents, and their siblings graphics cards with enough left over to give each of them an additional card or 2 and a few for the family pet. And the kids aren't playing 24/7 with no breaks to eat or sleep or use the bathroom. And three months later, miners commit another equivalent haul of cards to their fleet. And three months after that. But yeah, it's all the same and the guy in the hotdog suit is right that we're all looking for the guy who did this.
