in case anyone was unclear, this is the confirmation to start looking for entries to all in with ur entire networth and HODL on like a maniac for a year
few will actually attempt, even fewer will succeed
those who do will achieve everlasting glory
ngl poor people telling us we're trading valueless ponzi schemes is the funniest shit ever
like there's some sort of moral consolation prize for not participating
"i am too good to make money in such an odious way!"
<speeds off in a 1996 Chevy Cobalt>
this dude bankrupting his country in a bear market, while being a cringelord about it the entire time, is probably a step backwards in terms of global adoption tbh
thoughts on war in Ukraine, just kinda stream of consciousness:
1. this isn't the type of speech you give if you're looking for a graceful off-ramp to war
2. the US won't fight for Ukraine, but it will enact crushing sanctions, and supply the opposition with weapons
3. it...
wild to me out of the 7 billion ppl on earth, the vast majority are suffering plague, wars, famines, economic hardships, natural disasters, etc
meanwhile a few million dudes just thriving online, feasting on a cornucopia of digital ponzis, getting rich having fun
(be thankful)
"hi i am satoshi nakamoto it was extremely important to me to be completely untraceable and anonymous for like a decade but now it's not lol buy my fork"
getting a maid to come twice a month is such a massive upgrade in quality of life
a few hundred bucks/month but gives back a dozen+ hours of leisure time
just an absolute steal for the value
ngl this dave chapelle stand up is fucking wild
like, literally, i can see why people are upset
to be fair, a) he goes after *everyone*, and b) it is legitimately fucking hilarious, and c) the whole point of comedy is to make us question the narrative
lighten. the. fuck. up.
daily reminder that cryptotwitter is currently a terrible sentiment gauge because the only people left are a) fucking crazy, b) chad traders only here for the volatility, c) rekt baghodlers down like 80 fuckin percent, or some combination of the above
like ffs the former president of the United States got rich selling *his name* to shitty products
the biggest celebrity in the country (and her whole family) got famous off her sex tape
sticking to some notion of noble poverty is the literal definition of ngmi
"my son is in real estate!"
cool, so he's soliciting people to overpay for houses they can't afford (then fuck 'em on variable rate mortgages)
"im in finance"
cool, overcharging shmucks to make 7% annually on index funds they could buy for free
...
they're literally responding with hypothetical future prices of Bitcoin
lol
"yeah but in 5 years it might be a good investment"
yeah, i guess?
im in crypto too, but i didn't fuck up my credit score to buy on leverage at the top
getting your billions of dollars of debt downgraded, and endangering your countries finances, all to shitpoast about your country having less bitcoin than Mike Saylor buys in a week
ggwp, and when he fucks up El Salvador even worse, congrats we're all getting new neighbors
"Apple donating a million masks, just incredible generosity"
wtf WHY DO ALL THESE SV TECH COMPANIES HAVE HUGE STOCKPILES OF MASKS?
FB just donated 720,000
that's why there's none in the fucking hospitals
doxxed CT people getting hacked and burglarized on the TL
i've said it before, i will say it again
d o n o t d o x x y o u r s e l f f o r i n t e r n e t p o i n t s
it just makes you a target in this space
he's obviously talking to you dweebs, and dancing for your approval
if he was talking to his own people, he might try tweeting this shit in Spanish lol
did u know that u can share incredibly bad TA, but if u have a professional headshot, use a ton of indicators and buzzwords, never shitpost, and only post your wins, that you can still be taken seriously in this space?
i love all the cryptotwitter accounts with 25,000 "followers" who's usual engagement per post is 7 likes and a single, lonely retweet
we get it, dipshit
u bought ur followers
tfw u realize u have no finance background *at all* and are just kinda in crypto due to a (vaguely hilarious) random series of accidents and events, and somehow have also been here for 4 years now
you, a top-buying idiot: "i'm down 95%, better sell it all!"
me, a top-selling intellectual: "they're all down 95%, should probably start buying"
it's ok boys, there's always next market cycle for u to make it back
🎩👌
😏
always crazy to me that as cryptotwitter has grown to like millions of fkn people globally over the years, there's like 100-200 of us who all have known each other through 1+ cycles and keep shitpoasting and arguing with each other like these millions of other people don't exist
one thing im learning about the anti-coiners/anti-NFTers:
they mistake subjective judgement for reality
they're not saying "i see you guys making money, but i disagree in principle"
they're saying "no, it's actually valueless"
imagine thinking that a $2T market *didn't exist*
the "but muh Bitcoin" guys have found this thread, so here goes:
-their debt load is $22b (90%+ of GDP)
-their BTC holding is like $66m
-if the rate on their debt goes up just 1% ($220million) they will have incurred $135m more debt, requiring their BTC to 2x to b/e
... is not even feasible for the US to fight a war in Ukraine, given the distance, and the fact that Russia would go nuclear
4. Putin is probably setting himself up for an Iraq-war scale debacle: the Ukrainian military is 274,000 men, and there are a ton of paramilitary...
@RileyJayDennis
these types of tweets really don't do the left any favors tbh
this marine thinks Dr. Ford's testimony was brave and powerful, but not sure why it needs any sort of grossly irrelevant pseudo-comparative to qualify it as such
@DrutangAtHome
the one that always gets me:
Julius Caesar (d. 48 BCE) lived closer in time to the moon walk (Michael Jackson version, 1983 CE) than he did to the construction of the pyramids (circa 3000 BCE)
like, no, ur not getting any sympathy
take the L, and learn the lesson: in euphoric market conditions, ur essentially high af for the purposes of decision making
(this is an example of that)
while u r saying "alts are dead" and being scared of losing a few more points off the top, chad is buying
because... 80% down is 5x back up to old ATH
95% down is *20x* back up to old ATH
these are the prices u've been jonesing for all year
guess what lads
they're here
🧐
... invasion of iraq (same population and size of Ukraine) with 180,000 troops spun out of control in barely 3 months... and the Iraqi military barely fought.
8. the Ukrainians will fight. they have been for 8 years. they're experienced, tough, and exceedingly well-armed...
bro... you borrowed that money
you're not a victim
no one forced you to get a loan
it's not an unfair burden you inherited
you literally borrowed that money from taxpayers
hate to see your credit card bills if the 7% interest on federal student loans is breaking ur dick tbh
When I graduated in 2011, I owed $137,000 in student loans.
Today I have $175,000 even as I continue making monthly payments. I will never own a home, start a family, or live debt-free.
@BernieSanders
is the only person running who will cancel ALL student debt.

1. bitcoin is steeply discounted against it's hypothetical future value right now
2. bitcoin is wildly overpriced against it's actual current utility right now
3. both of these truths can coexist at the same time
what's funny is, with a few hours of research, $100 and an internet connection, and a little hard work, they could make a substantial impact on their material well-being, and stick it to the systems that perpetuate the cycle of poverty
(they won't blv it tho)
... which is why, under his rule, the Russian economy is in shambles, the currency has collapsed, and he is isolated on the world stage.
really hoping no invasion goes down, but if it does, get ready for a long, ugly war and occupation. markets probably won't like it either
cryptotwitter wants u to believe it's all about the 2-3x gains, or 10xing ur account on one 100x leverage mex trade
i been taking it slow the last month, knocking down 20-30% trades pretty regularly, growing my Bitcoin garden
#feelsgoodman
post speech thoughts:
1. moving troops into those newly "independent republics" is an actual invasion (legally still UKR territory)
2. those troops will probably be called "peacekeepers" until a stray Ukrainian artillery round hits a few of them, or some other pretext...
... is a tactical genius, and a strategic idiot. the costs of invading Ukraine will be more than he can stomach. this is not a person who can build, only someone who can destroy. he views gain relatively, i.e. if something costs you more than it costs him, it's a win...
ngl it's weird af how u start to look at money after long enough in this market
can't really say if it's better or worse, but watching more money than many people make in six months melt away in an afternoon or two... idk, it just changes u i guess
not gonna lie, Bitcoin really did make me into a saver
i was pretty bad at saving before crypto
even if it all goes to zero, the life lesson is priceless
the fairest way to build a system is to remove the gatekeepers
there are none here
no one can tell you no, no one can stop you
this is the most level playing field y'all gonna find
but sure, stay defending the systems that you been fucking you y'all whole lives
good luck
we're also leaving the legacy financial system that keeps people in poverty
pardon me for not using the banks that *don't give home loans to black people*
or not investing in companies that sell cigarettes, or missiles, or abuse our data
y'all ready to have THAT conversation?
now u fukn people are mad there will be a fiat on ramp for complete shitcoins next bull run?
r u out of ur fukn minds???
coinbase is positioning itself as the next fan duel ffs
next bull run all the normies will be treating it like a slot machine
AND UR ANGRY???
we plotted for 4 years on how to lure in retail to dump our boutique shitcoins on their heads
in the process, created $100s of billions of value, and revolutionized finance in a monetary renaissance
paved the way for them to escape the banks
AND THEY JUST BOUGHT DOG COINS
