kskelts[S] [score hidden] an hour ago

individual investors of our generation are most likely pondering weekly on whether to support the stock market or the crypto market. If one has a minimum wage paycheck to splurge each week, then one must assume what is more feasible with their capital, the bitcoin dance over a week, or an assured stock market rise over the course of a year. Both are valuable, but some people are gaining more time to make a wiser decision.

That is not what happens. The asset's value may rise.

For example, if you and johnny both own 2 bitcoin worth 100$. Now, you sell one of your two bitcoins for $201 to Johnny. As a result, Johnny owns 3 bitcoins with a total value of $603 and you own 1 bitcoin worth $201. You both made $201 in cash AND the value of your assets increased.

This is a realistic (albeit specifically unlikely) scenario in markets. You see? Markets are explicitly and undoubtedly NOT a zero sum game. That's the whole point of markets....

this guy posted this idea in a comment a few days ago but now he's super excited about it and posted an entire thread:


Stop asking businesses to accept bitcoin, is stupid, nobody want to spend their coins, instead you can propose them to reward their clients with small amounts of Bitcoin for every fiat payment they get. You want to grow your sales, reward your customers in Bitcoin. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 1 day ago by coinarmy


coinarmy[S] 1 point 10 hours ago

I agree that there are not so many places to spend your bitcoin but I will be more than happy to spend my old money with the stores who reward me with small amounts of bitcoin, stacking sats.


coinarmy[S] 0 points 9 hours ago

it's a pain in the rear end to comply with the regulations when it comes with accepting bitcoin and I think, you as a business owner, it's more efficient to try to attract more customers by rewarding them small amount of bitcoin, the community is small and you can easily advertise your products this way.


coinarmy[S] 0 points 9 hours ago

This post if about how nocoiners could earn some bitcoin not about how to spend them. Think about getting 5% cash back in bitcoin daily for your groceries


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

if you already offer discounts for fiat payments why not to return that discount in bitcoin to get more customers, I think it's a quite easy and efficient marketing


exab 4 points 1 day ago

This is actually a great idea, but it's not because Bitcoiners don't spend their coins. It's because no-coiners will have the incentive to learn and then get into Bitcoin when they receive some.


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

even more they would be able to learn more about bitcoin just by using it. think about getting a 10% cashback for your restaurant bill, I bet you will share with all your friends


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

you are not able to spend something that you're not able to control, that's why encouraging businesses to reward their customers in bitcoin is a good idea


coinarmy[S] 1 point 9 hours ago

to reach that objective you either need to create jobs where people can trade their time for bitcoin or just force businesses to reward their customers in bitcoin. If both store A and B sell the same product, I will spend my fiat with the one who gives me a cashback rebate in bitcoin.

This is why you should promote Bitcoin to people you know (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 17 hours ago by WhatTheFaceSwap

The other day at work we were having an emergency meeting which was called by the companies financial advisor. Apparently our entire company was at a huge risk of collapsing because we were still using an old system of storing our profits (cash).

The advisor was literally telling people what to expect in their severance packages and apologizing for losing their jobs when I interrupted and asked, "Have any of you people considered using Bitcoin?".

The CEO who was in the room initially scoffed at me, saying that most types of technology are over his head, but I assured him, "It's simple, Sir. We can use Bitcoin not only to store our profits, but also to replace our internal networks, to verify our documents, host our websites, store our data, provide a layer of cyber-security to our environment (P2P), send any amount of bitcoin to other companies absolutely free and instantly, all while Bitcoin doesn't even rely on electricity or traditional network technologies to work - . . ",

"Stop," the CEO abruptly interrupted, "Can you implement this immediately?" he asked me. I immediately got up and pulled up my portfolio on my phone(I've been invested since early 2018) and showed him not only that I myself OWN bitcoin, but that I have the technology in the palm of my hand (literally).

He immediately handed me a manilla folder with all of the companies asset accounts and instructed me to follow him to the advisor's office. He told me I would be converting every single one of our operations to using bitcoin instead and that this would be implemented immediately.

The best part of this day was when the advisor was trying to follow us back to what (was) his old office. The CEO turned around and said, "Can we help you with something?". The advisor immediately broke down in tears. I decided to intervene and I at least asked the CEO not to fire the advisor for his ignorance, but he got fired anyway 🤷.

When the advisor was being escorted out of the office, I shouted out, "Hey Dumbass, maybe next time don't use your archaic technologies to run things," and literally the entire office burst out laughing. Even the receptionist who the advisor was dating was laughing at him.

The CEO turned to me and said, "This is your new office now". "You're making me an advisor?!" I asked. "No, I'm making you Chief Financial Officer of this company." I was soo happy. I went to shake his hand but he literally took a step back and saluted me!

So yea, I guess the point here is that not only does it pay off to mention Bitcoin in your normal life, you may even be as powerful as me to be able to pull in real institutional money. Now I have to get back to work, take care you guys.

How I LOST a lot of money with Bitcoin, and why I don't give a gently caress. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted 10 hours ago * by Bitcoin1776

I Buy Bitcoin

There, now you know, I own a Bitcoin (or more) and I buy them loving coins.

Recently I had an investor come to me with big monster dollars; he says buy me dem loving coins. I wait for the right time to buy, and boom it's $13k...

Long story short, my investor is down 20%. Does he give a gently caress? Nope! Why? Cause he ain't cashing out!

He's got time, and I got confidence dem coins be going back to $11k... and probably more!

4 YEARS - 4 years is the life-cycle of a Bitcoin.

In 4 years, Bitcoins should be expected to double. Merely doubling every 4 years is 19% returns (annualized)... HOLLARAGE!

If Bitcoins go to $22k... in the next 4 years... my investor is psyched. If it hits $88k in... 12 years... that's still awesome.

Even with only 20% of his portfolio devoted to Bitcoins, Bitcoins might out earn the other 80%... with far, far less work, effort, and taxes - just buying and holding for multiple years.

And that is even if it only hits $88k IN TWELVE YEARS. That's 19% ROI (BTC) vs 8% ROI (SPY).

Now that man is old. He don't need no money.

But what 'bout me? I got bills homes.

Now here is deh trick.

ARE YOU EARNING YOUR MAXIMUM?

Probably, for reasons, you ain't.

What's that mean? It means you are losing - LOSING - money each year you work, below the better wage.

Bitcoin ain't my meal ticket... that's work. Bitcoin is my lifelong security ticket.

But Bitcoin gives me something other investments don't, POSSIBILITY. The possibility to get to quit work and retire, instantly.

Now what do you do with new found knowledge? Well first you focus on making that fooking dollar. Make so much dollar, working almost seems fun. What does it take to make that? A new mindset. Checkout a business book, visit professional clubs, make that loving money.

You got to get smart.

Focus on no less than $200k per annum for self-employed, or $100k if W2 with full benefits - accept absolutely no less.

Are you making $30k / year? Invest in skill training, equipment. For $10k you can nab a computer programming career in a year paying $60k.

That's 300% return on investment, do it. Fully capitalized (profit x 5), that's $150k expected from a $10k investment... CLAP HANDS DO IT.

If ya got to work for loving money, make it easy. Make it reward. Get smart, so the money gets easy. Get them rewards, so that you enjoy that work.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU SUFFERED AT LOW PAY? How long did you allow yourself to 'slave' without any chance of success or thriving!

NO MORE!

I committed myself to smart work, making good dollar some 2 years ago.

But still Bitcoin boomed... so what did I do? Did I buy a lambo? Did I quit?

gently caress all, no!

BOOM - Now my salary demands doubled - doubled mother fucker.

In 2 years I go from $80k to $200k (annualized, self-employed).

But do I actually make that $200k? No.

More like I went from $80k to $80k... but from 30 hours to 10 hours of laboring, per week.

The thing is, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY JOB!

You'd be surprised, but getting paid $200 / hour makes you love god-drat about anything, honestly.

Even if Bitcoin booms, would I retire? gently caress no. WHY THE gently caress WOULD I? I GET PAID loving AMAZING!

And what if Bitcoin goes slow, or in the tubes? WHO GIVES A gently caress! I making money hand over fist, and got the career path to earn butt loads more.

I might spend 10 hours per week now branding or networking to make the next mark... but laboring a mere 2 hours more per week might double my savings... that's huge!

And what am I going to do if Bitcoin goes bust?

TAKE ANOTHER STAB MOTHER FUCKER!

I got Tesla in my sights, I had Lambda School on the radar from day 1.

TAKE A STAB!

If you lose out, you keep working... GREAT! I got to do that EVEN IF I WIN with the STOCK MARKET!

But if you take a chance on an early investment stage startup, you can get 100% annualized returns.

It only takes a few of these to hit, and boom, you are loving a loaded god.

But I got money security because I have skills security.

I got the skills to make the loving money.

What I need is WEALTH, not money.

For my buck, Bitcoin is the best wealth making investment at this point in time, available to a general public.

Bitcoin is also the best store of wealth, cause it's mobile, and I am mobile.. I can't get cornered at the ATM by Uncle Sam nor can I get trapped having to liquidate and rotate around a series of real-estate and stock holdings, should I want to move to Puerto Rico, or whatnot.

And inflation risk is less concerning, with Bitcoin... and the passive price inflation is expected to be 19%, at a mere doubling every 4 years. That is HUGGGEEE!

In fact, I've taken out (don't hate me) loans at good interest rates and long payoffs, to buy them loving coins.

While it sounds crazy, students absolutely should be buying long-term, huge-payoff investments (like Bitcoin) - financially speaking

But that is aside the point. The point is:

If you are worried about a dip - EARN MORE MONEY!

If you are want wealth - GO LONG! 4 YEARS AT LEAST!

If you want a lambo - YOU ARE A MORON! - and -

If you want to retire - GET PAID MORE TODAY!

And beyond that, just be realistic. 8% returns is about the SPY average, but say even 11% is a reasonably well-managed index - still, that is miles below 19% for Bitcoin.

Now how does BTC get to 19%? By maintaining consistent demand, and consistent cash-out-cash-in rates of investment.

Not consistent PERCENTAGES, but consistent DOLLARS.

In effect, for Bitcoin to fail to achieve 19% (over 4 years), barring an unusual event (like Satoshi liquidating), then the amount of DOLLARS on the planet must never increase (technology stops, population flatlines) OR Bitcoin has already reached peak popularity, and significantly so.

So that's the question to you...

Has an investment that predictably returns 19% reached peak popularity and widespread public adoption? An investment unseizable, totally movable, and completely passive? Transferable worldwide in an instant?

I think not. I say we got ROOOOOOMMM to grow.

And that is why I don't give a gently caress about losing money - I'm not about to take it out in cash.

And that is why I don't give a gently caress about selling Bitcoins - I'm only selling to EARN way more money in job skills, which goes back to Bitcoin.

sploosh peace out!

Bitcoin Scam on Craigslist (self.Bitcoin)
submitted an hour ago by cash4yourtreasuresredditor for 1 week

Do not sell/buy bitcoin from those advertising on here. I just got scammed for $800. Red flags all over the place yet I fell for it cause I needed the cash. If you call they will only reply by text. They will insist they are “talking with someone on the other line” or their “battery only has 2% so they can’t talk right now and will call later”. Only they never call or answer, only text.

As you prepare to meet they will give you updates too, like every 10 minutes suggesting they are “almost there”. “I’ll text ya when I’m getting close. You at the restaurant? In case my phone dies what are you wearing so I know who to look for?” And “can you find a table near a plug outlet? I’m gonna need to charge my phone”...

He leaves the impression he is real close: “I’m about to get off the exit”. Then last minute he springs on you: “Do you have a localbitcoins account? Was hoping you could give me a positive review”. If you say you don’t have an account or prefer not to set one up, he will persistently suggest that you’re “not sending anything” to him directly. And: “It all goes to localbitcoins’ escrow” and you don’t hit “release coins” until “after I give you the cash”.

When you check out the localbitcoins site it’s looks sketchy so I said no thanks. But the site is actually legit to an extent, it’s just like Craigslist and acts solely as a platform for others to transact. When I said I didn’t want to setup an account he then puts you on a guilt trip, “I drove all this way for nothing” and that this is how he “does it with all his clients on their first meeting”. He says he won’t meet face to face until he knows your account is set up for his safety, since he doesn’t want to reveal his vehicle/license plates because he carries “$40k” in cash.

It’s a smooth move, because if he tells you to set up a localbitcoins account in the beginning it will leave you enough time to research and look up potential scams. But by springing it on you last second it throws you off your game since now you’re in a hurry to figure out if it is a scam or not. Since he’s “right around the corner”, and threatens to turn back if you don’t set up account, it leaves you a short window to conduct the trade since you don’t want to miss out on getting cashed out.

Another thing he persistently asked was “How often do you get bitcoin? Because next time it will be quick and easy since you’ll already have your account setup” And that he comes to your “area” at least once a week and looks forward to doing future transactions.

The localbitcoin site is not the scam, the scammer just uses the site since it’s so vague and easy to confuse/trick someone into sending bitcoin to a scammer. The site does offer an “escrow” if you choose “post a trade”. But if you send bitcoin by using “quick sell”, it doesn’t go to escrow, it goes immediately to address you send it to.

Quick sell is for people you want to send bitcoin to that you already know or are familiar with. In “quick sell” there is no escrow, it goes directly to the address you send it to. If you want to send money to someone you don’t know, you hit “Post a trade” and in this method it is sent to an escrow to be held until accepted by the party who wants to buy/sell. Once the party “accepts” the trade, it sits in escrow until the cash is paid out, then once the cash is in hand then you hit “release bitcoin”.

So when you set up a localbitcoins account, the scammer knows you just signed up so he sends you a fake email ie “no-reply@localbitcoins”. Email looks like it is from the LOCALBITCOINS site, but it’s fake. It says:

“Welcome and Thank You for setting up an account... You have been invited to trade with username Pacmantrader ... Just copy escrow address from this email and paste into send bitcoins. Once trade is accepted and cash is in your hand hit release bitcoins. Remember not to hit RELEASE until cash is in your hand”..

Turns out even the username is someone’s real account, only the person using it is not who you are talking to. They use someone else’s username/account that has all good reviews so you feel at ease. So BEWARE, if you send bitcoin DO NOT USE QUICK SELL, or SEND BITCOIN which happens to be conveniently posted on the front main page. This method does not offer escrow! So if someone mentions localbitcoins I would avoid them at all costs..

Babysitters. (self.Bitcoin)
submitted an hour ago by Subfolded

During day-to-day activities I try to imagine how things may be different if Bitcoin hits mainstream adoption. It’s causing me to find inconveniences in things that I have overlooked simply because they’ve ALWAYS been an inconvenience. Take babysitters:

A babysitter charges by the hour, and even if you plan a schedule and have a particular duration in mind, somehow you never seem to have the right amount of cash handy when you get home. Even if you have enough, it’s likely not exact change. If you try to write a check, you have to live with yourself knowing that NOBODY wants your drat checks because you’ve essentially just given them a chore to do later. You can round up to the nearest twenty since that's all the ATM gave you, but that sets a precedence that you likely won't want to keep up. I'd much prefer Lighting Network; you can argue amongst yourselves about whether the micropayments stop at the top or bottom of your driveway.

Also, older vending machines that don’t take credit. No pocket change means no Snickers, but at least I don’t sound like a drat reindeer when I walk. Still hungry tho.

but much more likely this rear end in a top hat tries to nickel and dime his babysitters along the lines of “beep boop i opened the front door at exactly 10:44pm and seventeen seconds, therefore you didn’t work the whole hour and have to give me back $3.2184554 in change”
