You cannot time the market. When you have invested in something, did you do your DD or did you do it because everyone else did it? I would recommend a book called "the intelligent investor". I also recommend low fee mutual funds t

It's because of his way of doing things in the past and his credibility. Why does he even need to announce this on Twitter if this isn't another one of his schemes. If this was anyone else we wouldn't bat an eyelid.

> Of all replies to me, everyone (except you) knew that I was talking about Bitcoin being a failure in its original purpose. Nope. Not everyone. You are making vague overarching claims. When you get pushback you are moving the goalposts.

that's some great mental gymnastics and goal post moving. "original purpose", "irrefutable fact", "many years of existence", "author of Bitcoin", "supposed to be better" yes, people us

Is it safe to say that Bitcoin failed?

I had a problem with this part: > I've been getting told for months that I'm missing the train and making a bad decision by a guy who bought BTC at 60k and told me "everyone" was saying it was going to go past 100k. A

I think this depends. You can (and should) learn things when you need them, but I have found that knowing about things before you need to use them greatly helps you when the rubber hit the roads. Ideally I think it's a mix, where you a

I like this approach. Has own beliefs. Takes actions based on beliefs. Gives zero fracks about other. This is how investing should look like. People that are "glad" that the marked is crashing are usually into 2 camps: 1) bitter t

It ain't over till the fat lady sings. Bitcoin (and crypto in general) is far from done. You cannot take one data point in time and derive your conclusion based on the point in time. Also, it does not matter what decision you would mak

I don't know what drugs you're on but I'd like some. Seriously. That stuff is prime quality if you actually believe this. Seriously? Crypto is to blame for the inflation? Not the reckless money printing that has been going on

by mirceal 4y ago
yes. people see crypto as scams until they actually learn about real world usage. try sending money anywhere in the world by going to your bank. also, everyone pretends that the current financial system is perfect and works just fine until

good point. there are two types of dystopia: the 1984 flavor or the Brave New World flavor China and Russia are doing 1984, the "West" was doing Brave New World but they want to try something new. So why not a blend?

yes, securities from the same people that brought you the inflation. what could possibly go wrong?

people fear what they can't understand / hate what they can't conquer. there is a distinction here to be made between the various crypto implementations and blockchain as an idea/technology. Cryptos will come and go, the

you’re looking at this from the wrong angle. ask yourself: why would the US allow these people to come and work here in the first place? it’s because they NEED them. from highly skilled tech workers to “unskilled” low wage workers. Immigrat

I get where you’re coming from and the argument is not in bad faith. A startup looks to turn an idea into reality and make it self-sustainable and profitable. They will ofter make compromises in order to accelerate their growth (and some th
