bitcoins

If you really believe bitcoin value is going to the moon why would you pay your state taxes with it or buy anything else with it.

It’s just another payment option. I would certainly pay my tax in crypto but I would buy btc then send that so I don’t use any that I’ve had for years. I spend btc almost every day. Mostly over my lightning node so it’s instant and costs me .00001 cent per transaction.

lol good luck with that. Bitcoin is the best investment of the last 10 years and year to date is up 300%. And before you say "but but it was higher". Yeah name an asset that doesnt go up and down. You better get ready, shit is about to hit the fan. Why do you think JPM, Facebook and Goldman Sacs, to name a few, are trying to make their own digital currency? US currency keeps being printed into oblivion. Last report I read stated that 2.7 trillion has been printed in the last year. Yeah, Im sure thats sustainable. Even gold is moving higher. There will be a flight from paper currency.
 
For the time being you don't need a bag over your head to hype bitcoin.
Yeah you future trillionaires will have the last laugh.
 
Bitcoin is speculative. If you buy it, expect to lose what you paid for it. Currently it has a reputation that it is manipulated. Anyone who hasn't lived in a cave the past 3 years already knows how widely its value has fluctuated without any coherent reason. Around April Fool's Day, bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies moved in unison. If you didn't watch the news that day, I'd say that was the highlight that sealed the view that I have about today's crypotocurrencies. And I wonder, who were easily influenced to be the new fools that day?


There are only 2 cheerleaders on this thread who speak highly and positively about it. I wonder why? All I know is that the audience is smarter than they think


I am open to using digital currency to pay for goods and services (not for investment) sometime in the future when it is established, stable and widely used by the general population

Blah blah. It’s the same shit we’d heard over and over. How’s that 3 year CD of yours working out? No one gives you shit for it. Why bother the folks that are interested in BTC? We’ve all heard it before and you actually tried to smear me in this thread and another investing thread.

It gets old.
 
i sleep at night and am comfortable with my choice of diversified investments. that is the only goal that matters


a barfer who welcomed members to PM him for investment advice. he's not qualified. couldn't even recognize the value of a dividend paying stock/ETF whose price does not necessarily go up up up ... that the only thing to look for is the price movement ... i was just looking out for the audience. i recognize the language that tries to appeal to people's greed. it helps to be on the lookout for people who spout about how much money to make so easily. if he was truly looking out for the investor's interest, he wouldn't be hyping up bitcoin the degree that he has at opportune times ...

just for your fyi, this is not a pro-bitcoin thread. none of the threads that are started are limited to one perspective. any thread that is open is open to all types of input, including mine.

So are we.

Neither are you qualified to offer investment advice. From what i see on barf you are only a few years into investing.

i was just looking out for the audience.

you are so smart and the audience is dumb?

i recognize the language that tries to appeal to people's greed.
lol

it helps to be on the lookout for people who spout about how much money to make so easily. if he was truly looking out for the investor's interest, he wouldn't be hyping up bitcoin the degree that he has at opportune times ...

same with you shilling your stock picks

You have such a large ego. You certainly do not push my buttons.lol
The size and color were only to differentiate your text from mine. lol

Many of us see crypto as an alternative investment. Why wouldn't you put 2% of your investments into crypto. The returns since inception are positive for the majors, bitcoin, eth, etc.

Everyone has their own risk tolerance.

I am not one to be swayed by talk of high risk high returns.
And I don't have time to check the market so I invest conservatively.
