I think everybody who has strong opinion on the internet coin, needs to stop having strong opinions about it, as it is a retarded and silly phenomenon and symptom of late stage capitalism.

i just love to talk about how insanely easy is to make money off of the online crypto-dollar, bitcoin. and if god forbid your personality disorder starts to flare, then so be it. :cool:

i like how you didnt say you werent a professional trader :mmmhmm:
and you also left an open implication that people who only buy and sell 1 kind of cryptocoin arent real traders
no i didn't, i thought that pointing that out would have been unnecessarily pedantic because of how obvious it is

quote:

look trading is a real job for people who do research into real things that usually arent pyramid scams. my advice pertains to not adding definitions to or stretching usage of words (in this case beyond realistic usage) because that is cultish behavior. like at ground zero when scientologists were fuming at other aid tents because "they have no tech" which sounds like a reasonable statement to them but red flags them as crazy to everyone who hasnt drank the kool aid theyve partaken of. since you occasionally try to make actual arguments im merely trying to help you avoid inadvertently sounding ridiculous by using a term that makes you seem to have an unrealistic sense of the stature of buying and selling bitcoin. in repeatedly reaffirming your status as a "trader" before understanding why i put forth this advice youve sort of just made it worse

tl;dr: dont frontload the crazy in your arguments when youre still trying to convince people of your thing. save that for after youve won them over
lol at this guy who thinks that because i said i trade cryptos it means that i'm claiming to be a professional trader

when i talk about being a runner, clearly i mean that i'm a professional runner on Team USA, not that i sometimes run amateur races as a hobby

you said you were a trader and a runner but not a professional runner. you unnecessarily explicitly added that to the runner description which presents an implication to what it was compared to

If you are day trading and you have no competitive advantage over anyone else in the market you're just waiting to get your face ripped off imo but if you're not doing it with your full portfolio then whatever.

oh yeah extreme. i described how his posts fit certain specific criteria of being aggressive whiney snipe posts not engaging in any conversation i was already engaged in which is consistently something people do when theyre upset and have nothing really to argue with. perhaps if thats not the case maybe he would have simply described how it isnt

do you understand how implicit an exploits work in comparisons? after stating that you trade and are therefor a trader and run and are therefor a runner you added that you werent a professional runner which was an out of place and superfluous statement except as a contrasting element. are you saying you wouldnt meet the definition of a professional trader?

you explicitly added that you werent a professional runner which you here agree was a strangely out of place statement as no one would assume that about you. this it implies a contrasting element to your previous comparison
again do you not think you fit the definition of a professional trader?

can you not answer the question?

there is no qualifying element to being a professional that you cannot make more money from other sources
