    Just took a look at my holdings, been many days since I checked it. .... Holly Sh! I lost a lot LOL

    I lost 85,6% of my initial investment!

    Cryptoz are shit!

    • Sorry man, I hate that feelingMondoMorphic
    • How much in $$ is all your investment?M01XXX
    • Not much. I was testing and learning about Crypto. Less than 500$ I'll let it all sleep and hope it goes back up one day, and over 500$ ..Bennn
    • Sure thing, I'll never play with Crypto again, its all shit. Its litterally a lottery.Bennn
    • well... you bought at all time high, pretty much the worst time to buy.dyspl

    Excuse me Sir, is this the bitch-coin thread?

  • drgs9

    "it's still very early days"
    It has been 12 years. A person can be conceived, be born, earn part time money delivering newspapers, and lose it all in BTC during this time.

    Imagine you are a car merchant. You sell a car for 1 BTC (which by chance is the "correct" BTC value at the time of purchase). The next day BTC dumps 20%.

    Imagine you want to buy a car. You pay 1 BTC. The next day BTC pumps 20%.

    A currency is only useful if its stable, not at the time of purchase, but just holding it in general.

    The world sees absolutely no urgent need to adopt it, because Bitcoin fixes nothing.

    Bitcoin is for gambling, like internet is for porn. It is its only use

    • Bitcoin is a store of value rather than a currency at this point. Look into stabkecoins such as DAI.zaq
    • lol 12 years on and still going on as if btc is a currency.inteliboy
    • everyone is free to do whatever they want. You do gamble, I do savings.ESKEMA
    • I remember 5 or so years ago there was still a lot of talk of it being a currency, even small local shops tried to accept Bitcoin.yuekit
    • It's not a currency. It's a store of value, and only a fraction of the world has started to get that, hence fluctuations in price.shapesalad
    • You are welcome to keep cash under your mattress, or exchange it for property(with on going maintenance costs), gold/silver(make sure you have it in handshapesalad
    • and stored in a good quality safe), or bitcoin - easy few clicks to buy, a usb stick to store. Easy to liquidate, store and transport.shapesalad
    • Can not be seized by government, can not be manipulated by a central bank or government. If you had a few $m to $b where would you store that value?shapesalad
    • Of course you can buy stocks also, and value investments stocks that pay dividend and have no debts are arguably a good alternative to bitcoin.shapesalad
    • But both serve different purposes, hence it's with putting 5% of your portfolio into BTC, rest in long long value investment companies with moats.shapesalad
    • Fooled by randomnessbabydick
    • if kid keeps the worthless coins, he‘ll be set by 20...if he sells them at low price he‘ll learn also a lesson. no difference.uan
    • Except for your last porn analogy I agree.SimonFFM
    • Correct. It has to be converted to a currency.Hayoth
    • It's a pisspoor way of storing value, it's been incredibly unstable and it looks like that's a built in feature. Central banks were invented for a reason...zarkonite
    • If the ground under your house was as unstable as bitcoin no one would say they have a safe home. You'd fucking move.zarkonite
    • I think you should think in decades / generations not in years. these days regulation makes a currency stable. this is what's nowhere with bitcoinsted
    • I'm having a lot of fun spreading it about a bit more now. I just had it sitting in bitcoin for years (not a lot 1kish). had written it off after the big crashfadein11
    • its now double. (yes I was late to the game)
      and it's kind of fun playing with the volatile coins. made more today than just leaving it in bitcoin

    • 100K? How could anyone justify that valuation except to point at pure demand?monospaced
    • In order for it to get to 100k, you need buyers to not sell at 15k, 50k, 75k, etc, and additional buyers willing to buy in at those prices. Not gonna happen.shapesalad
    • It might slowly retrace back to 20k mark, soon as it does, those who bought in upwards of 15k will sell up, bringing another drop...shapesalad

    El Salvador's President Bukele reveals plans for "Bitcoin City"

    Bitcoin City is said to have 0% income, capital gains, property, payroll, and municipal taxes, as well as 0% CO2 emissions. The location is meant to be near La Unión, a small Salvadoran city.

    Bukele followed up with another set of pictures detailing four landmarks to be scattered through the city, one of which looks to be a gigantic bitcoin. Bukele then clarified that Bitcoin City would not be golden. The color choice was simply a design decision from the architect.

    Bukele also announced on Tuesday that his government had bought 500 bitcoins, its largest purchase of the cryptocurrency to date.
