It’s a store of value, just like gold bars! I mean you lose your entire life savings if you forget your password, but that’s just a risk you have to accept! I could laser etch my bitcoin wallet on a metal bar and bury that in my yard for security.

It’s the future!

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!

seraph "acts like a regular person" is called 'masking'. He needs serious help, which he can get by calling 988, which is New York City's mental health line.

e:he is not welcome here, so please do not encourage him or enable him.

Maybe you should stop replying to him at all. You’re probably prime target to get a rise out of him when he posts. He can count on you to reply “988” and “buttcoin” every time he posts. It’s clearly not an effective strategy.

It's really volatile and there could be a lot of inflation and deflation.

Could I ask a favor? I know it's always fun when Seraph shows up, but I think just ignoring him until we can ban him is probably a reasonable policy at this point.

I'm not going to probe for it or anything, but he is a clearly unwell person, and it starts to get to an uncomfortable point when it ends being bashing a mentally ill person. Even if he's terrible.

Let him shout into the void for a while and maybe it will slow his current rereg frenzy.

I just wanted to say it's impressive some other chronic re-reg hadn't thought of the username "Facts vs Feelings". That's prime "never going to let this argument end" territory.

Also, Bitcoin is bullish right now, and I'm seeing the suckers of reddits wall street bets getting excited for it. They love buying high.

Exactly! It makes sense now!

Bitcoin being declared illegal? Value goes up. Bitcoin being centralized? Value goes up.

Can't possibly go wrong.

Wait, were we talking BBBY (gone/delisted), or Bitcoin? I guess it's all the same.

Gotcha, the point wasn't really to make fun of Seraph as much as he was the only buttcoiner I remembered here. I can edit to restore the name to Nancy.

maybe to add to this a little: it might be a pain in the rear end to do it, but if a mod could edit out his posts whenever they're banning him, that might help a bit. just make it clearer that no one's listening

ofc he'll probably just keep on going regardless, so idk if it's worth the effort or not

Right, I know Seth had been doing this, and I probably should have already done it by now. I'll go back and blank the posts in a minute here.

Is Twitch even a good place to advertise for crypto? I mean gamers HATE NFTs so I don't see why they would be open to it.

The fact that people who try to day trade don't understand why they can never win doesn't make the market itself corrupt.

The scumbag scam artists IMO are the heavily advertised, low friction trading apps that wow you with absurd infographics and overwhelming stat panels, encouraging users to believe they have the slightest clue what any of it means.

Are these the ones that are all like "wow it sure is hosed up that our parents and grandparents could afford houses just by getting normal jobs, but our generation is barely making ends meet, the system needs to change!"? Because they're running these on sports games too and I think it's the first ad I've seen in awhile that actively pissed me off.

It unironically makes a great point about how something needs to be done about unpayably huge student loans and a vastly overpriced housing market! And then the "solution" they propose isn't to actually do anything about this, but instead it's to have the generation that barely has enough money to survive gamble their scant remaining funds on loving crypto. loving hell.
