You mean @Bitcoin?
Me too. He first made fun of anybody that was cautious about the injection, experienced a negative reaction himself, followed Rin's advice, then said he was going to get ANOTHER injection, and disappeared shortly afterward.
But also, bitcoin took a dump in value as well. Maybe he's just too embarrassed to show up, or maybe he was a paid lackey to push a pump and dump, or maybe he's dead.
I'm kinda worried about the one who said he got vaxxed. Seriously.

Due to near total lack of trading experience in trading anything until crypto came along, fomo and account destruction due to crazy amts of leverage many are likely done and gone as dust at the bottom of the heap. As for myself I bought BTC around the time I mentioned it was a buy @13,500+/- right before the pop and sold just under the 60K along with some other token positions I held and in the mean time I am still stacking cash and waiting for the torrents of blood and guts to flow in the streets.
For now there isn't much to see however I will post when the time comes keep in mind BTC nor ETH isn't really on my shopping list but will see.
I wonder where are the bitcoin fans who were dominating this thread a year ago?

HODL'ers still be waiting for the moon shot.
As the bitcoin scam rolls out there are fewer and fewer "coins mined". In addition there is still a lot of cumulative demand from little "investors" who "dollar cost average" into hundreds of Satoshis every payday The only place these "coins" can come from is miners or sellers; artificial scarcity.

Well, I never dominated but never changed my conviction that one should get some bitcorn. That hasn't changed. I was never a proponent of the alt-coins/shit-coins.
I think it'll drop somewhere in the 5K-12K range and at that point I will probably take a small percentage position again.

Invest? Or speculate?
Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and is expensive to maintain. The only way to profit from crypto is "mining" or finding a bigger fool to buy your "coins".

Onvacation is correct. Bitcoin doesn't work as a currency. I can send a bar of gold to the other side of the world faster and cheaper than you can transfer to bitcoin from one wallet to another.

Nothing.
People always touting how great BitCoin is, don't know the first fucking thing about other than "it will go up" - well, why?
It's nothing more than a distributed set of databases to confirm a transaction is valid, but the transactions are now so slow, that people buy on exchanges instead, and that completely ends the distributed nature of BitCoin which was it's entire fucking purpose.
Instead of a bank, you know are going to Magic The Gathering websites - Mt. Gox.
DHTs seem awesome until you realize how much meta data a typical machine has to contain to do it, and the REDUNDANCY of it. If the 5G crystal memory becomes a thing, and it costs like $20 for 1000 TB - yeah, it might be workable then.

Nobody that understands it says that. It would just get shut down by the Federal government. It's considered a commodity by the SEC where all of the others (shit coins) are securities. Makes a big difference. I made a new thread yesterday about orange checkmarks and within it is a link to a short video covering some new interesting applications if you're interested.

The people that created bitcoin didn't give a FUCK what the SEC said about it.
The point of it was a cryptocurrency OUTSIDE of the authority of ANY government.
I know what it was supposed to be, and what it's become - embrace and extend. The dummies "investing" in this ponzi scheme don't ever spend it, they use it as purely an investment vehicle, when it's unusable as anything else. It's PURELY for investment now, and it depends entirely on speculation.
