Yes. I've been coming here for years to try and warn you faggots. You always laugh. You always say dumb shit to defend it. You always say mean things. But guess who is right? Me. Crypto is dead and you'll all be poor forever now. At least those of you that weren't posting ironically

>> No.49536235

A lot of crypto, yes. Not Bitcoin and some altcoins after they're legally compliant, and the few fly by night illegal but successful rare non-rugpulls. This bear market too shall pass. There's more bear days in Bitcoin than bullish days, but the bullish days are euprohic enough that you'll get drunk on dopamine and start believing your own bullshit and fail to recognize that this time is not different. Anywho, Bitcoin's going to the moon, but before that happens I'd say it would be wise to psychologically it to dip by 45%+. Make such an event an opportunity if you currently dread it, it's good for your development and mental health and only bad for your wallet if Bitcoin does indeed pump, which you should always have some on hand for such an occasion.

crypto is like a battery
it stores extra charge if the powell is pumping extra money that can't get absorbed by the regular stock market.
it's why it correlates with nasdaq

This is gonna be a blog post but idc. I’m deep in tech and there’s a lot of “smart” people who still don’t get crypto. They don’t understand the value add that comes with a trusted decentralized system.
Everyone(particularly older gens) still operates on traditional financial advice that if you just save a little of your fiat eventually you’ll be wealthy. As most of us have realized this is BULLSHIT. Wageslave 20 years making low 6 figures and if you live those years like a pauper with no kids you can maybe payoff a house. And that’s a good salary and ignoring the assraping from inflation and political bs. The average salary is half of that or less. Anything you save is getting assraped by inflation if you’re not making at least 12% apr on your savings you’re slowly getting rug pulled into oblivion. But where do you safely make those kind of returns? PMs maybe but you’ll get assraped by paying above spot and again with fees or low ball offers whenever you to try to cash out to trade for something you need. You need a highly liquid asset that can tie into other markets. you need that liquid asset to be as free from manipulation as possible. Every stock, fiat, even pms can be manipulated. It’s hard to manipulate crypto because the ledger is public any leverage you have is fiat related you can’t own btc that doesn’t exist but you can own the right to pms that dont exist or stock in a company with inflated numbers, or fiat that’s getting taxed and printed into toiletpaper. There’s no barriers to participation either. they can regulate sanction w/e, but if a Russian goes all in on crypto their savings become protected from geopolitical manipulations. We’re still so early and nobody really gets it. If we don’t get sent back into the dark ages, crypto will eventually be ubiquitous in everyones daily life. It will be the asset to bank in. We’re going through growing pains rn but for savvy among us, our children will own the stars.

This is true for the vast majority of "crypto"

But, Bitcoin is not "crypto" bitcoin is bitcoin. A decentralized currency. Much akin to gold and is going to be regulated like gold. As a commodity. The government in the US is already going over this. Meanwhile faggy ETH and all the shit coins it spawned are going to sink because they will be treated as securities which have much harsher penalties and regulations than commodities. Everything on the etherium network will be brought to trial one by one and whether they are securities or commodities will be decided one by one.

The only other acceptation to this is Monero which doesn't have to give a single shit about the market at all

That's exactly why I'm slurping low cap alts like TXA, it's still low cap and unbelievably cheap atm, will be profitable once the bull cycle returns. It ain't the first time we are having this kind of dip

Not fad anon, crypto is down, so as stocks as well, it did happen before nigga, this is the time to buy since most alts are underpriced. I have been DCAing into some especially TXA which I find promising with better tech and team

One world government (we're already living in it) and uniform global currency is an inevitability. People can fight it or they can try to get rich off of it. Never embrace it, "real money," i.e. economic value lies in goods and services.

That's a good one, with their buyback program recently announced, anyone buy atm will make profits once it's implemented
