- "Zomg, this coin is less than a quarter, have you heard of XRP!? Should I get it!? lul"
- "Hi guys, just wondering what u wud do with 1k, should I all in on bitcoin or is it too late!?"
- "Omg look at this new coin that will change DeFi and it's coming soon!"
- "Man I wish I got into X but I was too scared plus my friend said that X coin was not gonna make it!"


And many more!

I don't think we are back to bull mode yet. The only people getting hyped are people already exposed to crypto. Normies are not racing to get in like in 2017.

I gotta add perspective.

I started a more technical position than my previous towards the end of January 2020. I had taken a little over a year off from the traditional work scene.

I purchased my first bitcoin in November of 2013 from a site that's no longer around called "VirWox."

Ever since then, I have been reading and studying crypto.

You're correct that I didn't post in this thread in February of this year, but most of my efforts for crypto was on reading, watching videos, and engaging in Discord on cryptocurrency servers.

I think you're right Parker.

We're not quite there yet, but would you agree that this is an optimal time to get back in, adjust positions and etc. before missing the "2017 like markets?"

Im hopeful that crypto will play out more like the dotcom market and it would make sense to adjust positions according to new information, but once again this is crypto so we might just crab until everyone goes home.

Seems like a crab accumulation zone with no real outside interest in crypto. Would be nice to see some big ol green bars though. Not sure we will ever get 2017 markets again either. Order books were razor thin. Only buyers and no sellers.

What percent increase would you need to retire? I think 5000% (50x) would make me consider, but I'd cash out a lot before than point.

[BDSMBBW]

closing weeklies above 11.5k would be a decent sign of long term recovery.

just ~10% more left, if this breakout is genuine should not take too much effort to get above there. so might as well wait it out.

[juvefan]

ayyy

[DoubleChub]

that feel when the bank account is refilled

[BDSMBBW]

Gotta love this ponzi scheme.

Pump 10%,

immediately dump another 15% in 5 mins (Price went to 8600 on bitmex.)

Amazing market action. Best thieves in the world are white collar criminals.

Nice little damp today. I can't go for days like this every day. Brb typing up my resume.

[BDSMBBW]

came across this chart on twitter, Chart publish date may 21. What a wizard. Holy fk that was a damn good prediction.

[Parkerscott]

Dang Brave is up to 15.4m users now. Seems like its getting to the point it could go viral any minute.

I haven't really thought about it. My post was mostly in gest...but I'm still with my original crypto plan from the begging and it won't change. Millionaire or bust.....I'll ride it until the wheels fall off at either end.

haha I see what you did there. Most in life is all about timing.

[W1LLW]

Has there ever been a time when bitcoin mooned and ethereum didn't? I'm thinking more long term over the next year and it feels like ETH has the strongest potential upswing.

Roughly speaking, Bitcoin is currently at 50% of its all time high of ~20,000, and eth is only at like 20% of its all time high of ~1300.

If both coins share the same potential for returning to former glory over the next year or two, it seems like ETH offers more opportunity for flipping ones money 5x rather than 2x. Brb accumulating.

[codefreeze]

Should've dumped more when it hit 10.1

Invested most of stimulus check in crypto; so far so good.

LMAO at corporately-sanctioned pump and dump material like this: https://markets.businessinsider.com/...0-6-1029281615

[W1LLW]

^^^ repped thanks for posting, that's interdasting. going off of pure speculation, it looks like ETH was stagnant then dumped as people sold off their eth to jump on to BTC slightly mooning. Then as soon as bitcoin retraced from 1200 to 800 (christ i miss those prices) people jumped back on ETH.


personally, i'm going balls deep in ethereum because i think there's more opportunity to multiply ones investment. There's no way Bitcoin shoots up to $20k and Eth just sits there sub $300

Scandal breaking. Brave browser has been redirecting affiliate links for their own profit.

You should be able to short it on a few exchanges out there.

EDIT: Market didn't react at all to the news. Hmm. I would consider the short invalid at this point (8hr later).

Well, Parker did predict Brave would go viral just a couple of posts up.

I would hardly call that viral. Its just a couple hundred bitcoin maximalists circle jerking each other. Brave is already bigger than crypto twitter and crypto reddit.

A web browser modifying URL's to change them in a for-profit measure is so far removed from what you just said I can't really come up with a rational response.

and? Does this affect you or anyone in any way?

I will say it again. Just a bunch of threatened bitcoin maxis just being losers like always. 15.4m monthly active users vs bitcoin at 7m. Theres a reason bitcoin developers have blocked Brendan Eich on twitter.

Just because something doesn't affect me doesn't invalidate my right to have an opinion about it or be disgusted about the actions that were taken. The CTO of Brave committed those referral links into the browser. This wasn't some random commit.

I don't know where you're getting the number of active bitcoin users because that number doesn't exist. It's impossible to know how many people "use" it, or what that metric even means.

This is fair. I do not see how BAT is a threat to Bitcoin and for there to be any reason for 'maxis' to care.

Building referrals links into a product which markets around discretionary advertisement is either careless if unintentional or shifty if intentional.

Yeah those ref links are so egregious.....

Strong concern trolling. Expected better from you.

Those bitcoin numbers are from a study by chainalysis btw. All of those people on twitter with their pitchforks are bitcoin maximalists that are mad brave abandoned bitcoin and created their own token.
