Is BTC still in the mid 30k? 2.5->44 is much better return than 3.5k -> 42k. I guess I've been trading GME too long for btc's volatility to phase me.

Yes, but I've been in it since 2011. Your humble brag doesn't apply to me. My point being that this doesn't warrant the attention its getting when you see the bigger picture of outright fraud, and agencies should look into bank fraud and money laundering and stock manipulation of things like large pharmaceutical corps that have made billions from a litany of scams along the years, Moderna administration in CA already had to be halted due to patient complications. How many Corps have made out like bandits from bailouts and crushing the competition with perpetual lock downs and doing shady trade deals with politicians? I'm so over this, that the paper wealth pales in comparison to the asset inflation we're all seeing with no real benefit other than more billionaire wealth accumulation. PS: I don't trade, I'm accumulating in order to exit this insane system.

  > Your humble brag doesn't apply to me. That wasn't a humble brag, it was a counter to your less than charitable characterization of GME stock behavior. If anything, you're bragging.

  Your Bitcoin stance doesn’t make much sense. It’s over long periods of time. This GME is over a short period of time. You appear to be bragging hard. Whether or not you intended that. The other person isn’t.

    > If anything, you're bragging. > You appear to be bragging hard. I'm saying their are far more corrupt things that are being sanctioned (ignored) by the regulators in the stock/securities market but you people hyper focus on the low hanging fruit (gamestop) while the public purse/currency is being fleeced by Trillions by corporations with every bailout/stimulus package and you think you're smarter than everyone else and I'm the one bragging? Despite your 'profit' being denominated in ever worthless fiat. In the time that I wrote that Black Rock, the creators of the fucking Aladdin prediction computer/system that likely kicked this entire surveillance/data mining business model into high gear, got into Bitcoin and declared their intentions to create a futures model to the SEC. I guess I excepted more from tech people by this time when it comes to what Bitcoin really is, but then the adage of Humans (fools) and their folly holds true, I suppose.

      The topic is GameStop. Life can’t be spent on your agenda principles 100% of the time. Who thinks they’re smarter than everyone else? Am I “they”? I don’t understand this. Writing things like “your ‘profit’” is condescending by the way. I can’t change the world. I’m not a rich man. The couple of grand I’ve made this week from GameStop and Blackberry has been nice for me personally.
