OLSON JOHNSON IS RIGHT. Rabbat!!!
Seriously, right on.
Yeah, yeah, I know. I am a stupid podunk closed minded Baby Boomer who refuses to learn, refuses to get with the times, refuses to accept new things. It's different this time, and I don't get it. I don't understand and I am clueless. It's different this time. Just like all the derision I got for not "investing" in dot.com stocks in the mid 1990's, even though I worked in the trenches of bleeding edge tech at the time.

Never thought I'd ever read a comment like this. I'm honestly astonished by this statement. I want to go personal but won't. Read some more. Study the US and market. The US does the exact opposite of what you state and Trump was kind of turning that around. Biden literally just shut down a pipeline project that employed thousands and now raises the price of oil.
He's making the rich richer while stifling innovation. All while not knowing where he's at and who/what he's talking about. You don't have to like my comments but I'd be afraid as fuck with Biden as POTUS. He's a puppet. Whoever is pulling the string could may crypto worthless overnight. People thought Trump was crazy. We're in a new realm if you've been paying attention.
If he can by himself wipe out thousands of jobs to be "green" there's nothing to stop him from regulating crypto through a bunch of 3 letter agencies. You've been warned. Crypto is already a bubble and I'd probably get out with this guy at the helm and take your supposed gains. It's worse than I thought it would be. He has dementia or some other cognitive issue and has been MIA so far.
The US doesn't stifle innovation.

Here's the thing. Our government, at this point is completely incompetent to stop it. Moreover, the academics that they hang on every word (Krugman, Stiglitz, Roubini) all insist that it will go to zero on its own. They are letting it ride out of arrogance and other countries would be happy to take the reigns.

Holy crap. To stop it? Innovation? Blockchain tech? Bitcoin? Holy crap....
This is the US....We are the tech hub of the world. The worlds best tech companies FB, Apple, Tesla are right here in California (well Tesla moved).
Tesla changed the world.....and Tesla bought 1.5B USD worth of Bitcoin. Guessing that doesnt tell you anything, mhm?
Elected officials in the US approved the first chartered crypto bank....again....no bell rings here, right?
Bitcoin is as big of an innovation as the internet.
You guys are sleeping wasting your time with tulips talk, watching on the sidelines whiles this revolution is happening (and some people, including me get rich on it)
Its amazing to watch this happening in front of my eyes and read these comments. Thank you!

Just put it this way, the FBI was tipped off to the Parkland shooter ahead of time. They claimed they couldn't figure out who posted it, despite the fact that it was under the name of Nicholas Cruz and it was off of a google account (like google didn't know who and where he was at the time). They were also tipped off about the Tennessee bomber. They couldn't even properly frame Trump but tried for 4 straight years. The entire infrastructure of America has morphed into one incompetent bureaucracy. They can't tell their heads from their foot and they have no interest in stopping everything. Bitcoin will continue to run wild and the central banking infrastructure has been setup so that they are all doomed by groupthink and conditioned to misreport, misidentify, or ignore inflation. They don't give a crap about bitcoin and are too stupid to stop it. Look who's at the wheel. Joe can't even get a sentence out without short circuiting.
I hold gold and silver as inflation hedges and they probably make up 20% of my net worth. I will make an additional 5 to 10% crypto. The rest is dividend paying stocks both domestic and abroad. If inflation doesn't happen and my gold/silver don't pay off, I still win, as I have a decent salary earning dollars.

Agree on Joe.
"they are too stupid to stop it" First of all, you can regulate/ban exchanges but not a decentralized blockchain like bitcoin itself. No single government has the capability of doing that as long as the internet exists. If you dont believe me, google it.
The fortune 500 companies own America. Corporate America runs the country one way or the other. These large players are too powerful to be stopped.
And many of them see potential to make more money through crypto. Take a look at the media coverage of crypto. Take a look at google search trends. Take a look at which top tech companies invest in Bitcoin. How can one not see, that this isnt going anywhere but up?

governments can just abolish Bitcoin in a few keystrokes by criminalizing the trade of it and confiscating any theoretical profits from it. They have probably refrained so far because the traffic in Bitcoin is still relatively tiny
Interesting, but it does not bother them that bitcoin makes possible the ransomware industry. Even so, I still find it hard to believe that the FBI/CIA cannot find who is collecting the bitcoin payments. Maybe they are "in" on the ransomware, or they do not want to tip their hand for when they want to go after bitcoin financed political enemies later.

Bitcoin haters dont like the fact the Bitcoin investors can reply and correct them.
For Instance @onvacation thought that the last Bitcoin will be mined in 2040. I corrected him and posted links that show it will be 2140. He didnt like that and trolls that it will be 2030 without any link/rhyme or reason. You can bring a donkey to the water but if the donkey refuses to drink, what can you do?
I had a discussion with @B.A.C.A.H.
But its not really a discussion because these haters are not fine with: lets agree to disagree. In their mind, anything Bitcoin = "bad".
They have no interest in being educated or learn more. Some ignore me....perfectly fine. That's what the ignore button is for.

on top of that are my altcoin holdings which performed even better.....

Let’s spell out the more blatant shortcomings of Bitcoin: The blockchain may be theoretically bomb-proof, but the exchanges that Bitcoin trades on can be fiddled, hijacked, and erased from the universe, and Bitcoins with them. Remember Mt. Gox? When it went tits-up in 2014, 850,000 Bitcoins vanished (out of the 21 million that can ever be “mined” under the system as designed). Bitcoins were worth under $1000 when that happened. Also, keep in mind is that Bitcoin is meaningless without reliable electric service and the Internet that runs on it. How many Bitcoins were bought-and-sold in Texas those dark days a couple of weeks ago when a blue norther rolled in and the lights went out. Of course, trading Bitcoin might be the least of your problems when the pipes freeze and all the sheetrock in your house gets prepped for a black mold experiment.
