I agree that this must be the reason why Tesla bought 1.5B USD worth of Bitcoin.
Converting cash into Bitcoin is a must in today's world. At least 5-10%. Smart money converts up to 20% into BTC.
Yup.

I actually don't mind talking about other users as long as it doesn't get personal. I'm just sick of seeing that retarded graph that makes zero sense. The user that posts it doesn't even make an attempt to answer a question and posts it every 5 comment practically. Dumps more link spam, talks about Tesla and brags about something he's not even invested in the way he says he is.
Many here have asked many questions and we get no answer on BTC. It's either do the research yourself, it's digital gold or they get angry because we question their "investment" that they know nothing about. It's sad, but at the same time humorous to me. If they've sold, they're making money on something they can't even explain. Even some of the more high profile BTC people cannot even explain it.
If you really want to turn on the pump, answer questions. Sell us. They don't. Hence we know it's a game and a scam.

BTC is 100% reliant on the $$$$$ to make any money. Give a logical argument why I'm wrong. Without quote manipulating. Should be easy to explain.
And I'm not talking about Tesla, "institutional investors" or your silly graph. YOU explain. No links.
think of Fiat like the the US Dollar

To get in or out of BTC 90% of average people will use an exchange, or no? Exchanges 100% can and have been hacked or the exchange can just take the BTC with no consequence. To transact in it, BTC is 100% not secure, just like any other currency.
Miners can also manipulate it and make it worthless if they wanted to. Or will have to when no one wants what they're mining anymore. Which is spreadsheets.
NBA Jam was once a popular game. It would sell for close to $50. You can now get it for $5 at a garage sale, if that. Crypto is the Playstation. BTC is the game. It will go out of popularity or another, better game will come along. This is indisputable.

see, you dont understand the chart. you confuse an exchange with the Bitcoin network.
An exchange is one way to trade Bitcoin. If you are Tesla, you go through an OTC (over the counter) trading desk at a bank or institution to avoid slippage. They purchased 1.5B that way.
The Bitcoin network has never been hacked. No matter how hard you try wookie.

Maybe you can enlighten them? You seem to know things nobody else does.....give them a call!

correct. the Bitcoin network has never been hacked.
And holding Bitcoin on a hardware wallet is a very secure way of holding it. You just confused an exchange with the Bitcoin network. Glad I was able to help you understand the basic difference. Let me know what other questions you have. We'll get there.

It's more than that though too. Make an individual statement on BTC. Stop quoting what others have said. We know what we said. Tell us what it is and why it's valuable. I don't care about Tesla, that has nothing to do with BTC. It's a distraction and a pump in its own right.
I can invest in LUV and as a shareholder meet the employees. I can fly on their planes. Hell on one flight they let my kids sit in the cockpit (pre-flight). I know a few pilots that fly for them. I can see what they report financially. Who is trading it that runs the company. Financial reports and know the assets and debt.
BTC literally is nothing. It's a big spreadsheet. What is valuable about BTC G besides it getting pumped by people that have the money to lose if they can't get out in time? Tesla $1.5B isn't his money, he won't give a fuck if it goes to zero. He'll still be a billionaire.
You'll lose the game G and I think that's why you pump. The life changing gains are over. Even if you cashed it out today you'd likely squander it. So what's the point? Just keep spamming and trolling I guess.

How to you acquire your BTC? How do you sell it? How do you store your physical wallet? Your keys and passwords?
How do you stop miners from controlling 51%? Security is multi-layered. How do you stop one early adopter of BTC from yo-yo'ing the price that has 500k coins? How do you trade it when the exchanges shut down due to government regulation and no one trusts it anymore? Or the criminals no longer think it's worth it to be in it and pick a different coin? Or the IRS classifies it as a different asset class and taxes it at 50%?
Answer one or all. The questions I ask are all legit possibilities and concerns for security and a bunch of other things.
Fact remains, you don't answer questions. So you're a pumper/spammer.

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.
