Always Bullish, Fren! All of us are so early! One project that still provides and early entrance is KENDU. What got me originally is the plain and simple FACT that Shiba Dev, Shytoshi, literally follows Kendu. Done. I am sold. He is still following Kendu!

boathouse_floats

I have been with Kendu Chads for 2 months now. It is amazing! I have never worked so hard for a project in my life! But the best thing is, I enjoy the hell out of the process, all while learning new skills and strengthening my mind. What got me originally is the plain and simple FACT that Shiba Dev, Shytoshi, literally follows Kendu. Done. I am sold. He is still following Kendu!

Do people like you seriously lack so much intelligence that all you resort to is lame ad hominems whenever you can't think of a logical argument to make? Or is it just brazen stupidity? You're are projecting because you're a brainwashed fool. Literally, everything I mentioned is a verifiable FACT. People like you, however, prefer to live in a bubble to protect your fragile egos instead of realizing how utterly ignorant you are to what's happening around you.

But in your previous example you said that if the bank goes under, you can't get your money. Now suddenly it's different. The bottom line is simple. Deposits just like currency is considered part of the M1 money supply AND are both fungible. One can easily be substituted for another. No matter what spin you try to put on it, banks create money. IN FACT since you think only bills are money and deposits are not money because they are IOUs, your argument is blown apart when you realize that dollar bills are liabilities on the federal reserve balance sheet. Uh oh. Turns out your dollars are just ious too--we'll just call those farts as well to simplify things.

To just call charts "astrology" makes your opinion invalid to me. I'm sorry Doesn't change the FACT that my statement is true. Charts are set in stone and can't be changed. A fallacy is an illusion or something that can't be proven.

TelevisionKey3891

Based on the charts.. Which we all have access to..BITX would have brought you nearly double the returns percentage wise than regular Bitcoin since its launch almost a year ago...FACT..not opinion..fully supported in the chart You're right, though. Things could change at any time. But during this bull market, so far, BITX would have been more profitable. But you want nothing to do with it during the bear market, and I do retract the statement about holding it long term.

TelevisionKey3891

Day trading is buying something and selling it during a 4 day period of time. If you had held this over Bitcoin since it's launch almost a year ago(not a day trade obviously) you would be up nearly double..That is a FACT..not an opinion..fully supported in the charts.. But holding it during a bear market would be a mistake, yes that is true.

TelevisionKey3891

You're right on the second point, holding it during a bear market is not going to work out well, I admit. But if you had held BITX since its launch almost year ago, you would be up nearly double what you would have compared to regular Bitcoin..This is a FACT, not an opinion..Fully supported in the charts..Same with comparing it to IBIT since the ETF launch..Your percent gains would be 2X.. Bottom line BITX has been a better hold so far this year and will continue to be as long as the bull market continues like predicted. But yes, holding for long-term is not going to work out.

TelevisionKey3891

I can see how this would not be beneficial during a bear market. But bottom line..If you had been holding BITX since it launched almost a year ago..You would be up nearly double what you would have if you held regular Bitcoin..This is not an opinion...But an obvious fact that is proven in the chart itself.. Compare it to IBIT since the ETF launch, and you will see the same thing. 2X the percent gain. Again, this is a FACT, not an opinion. I retract what I said about holding it long term, but during this bull market, so far, this would've been a better investment decision..so far

It doesn't matter about your fragile feelings and this stuff isn't personal. Clearly you are new. You can't change reality,  and anyone who has ever been through at least one 4 year cycle is well in the green. Many of us who have been through 3 cycles know this first hand.  You should have read what I posted... Bitcoin has increased 100% a year for 15 years and nothing you can possibly say changes the undisputed FACT that it has outperformed every other asset class on earth during that period. If it makes you feel better by twisting that reality then go ahead, but the reality itself remains.

Given that this is the first halving where the price is dominated by professional investors capital (Hedge Funds, investment banks and VC's) and recently fueled by Etf's Lambda investors, I suspect the price will act like every time a big event is expected in traditional finance: BUY THE RUMOUR AND SELL THE FACT. So I expect prices to dip strongly until July, before another wave o buying that will peak in autumn. Just like in 2021. Remember BTC is now in the hands of traditional finance, so it follows them cycles.

MakeItMine2024

Will only get better with time .. who new way of ETFs globally hitting the market… FACT : There are less than 950 new BTC mined globally at current time … alter the mid April halving it will be about 425..In the next 10 years no one will ask how many BTCs do you have as they will talk about SAT’s because the price of a BTC will be over 1,000,000

HumblGeniuz

Your question / thought is correct. The simple fact the halving occurs has no direct correlation to force / cause the price to go up. There is an assumption based on supply and demand that will cause the price to go up. HOWEVER if there is no demand then the price would not go up. People assume the demand will be there so the price will go up. THE SIMPLE FACT THE HALVING OCCURS DOES NOT MEAN THE PRICE WILL GO UP.

Top_Mind9514

Of course the “big boy/financial institutions” are shaking the tree and manipulating the market, just like they have ALWAYS DONE. That’s a no-brainer!! They KNOW that crypto IS THE FUTURE OF CURRENCY AND CAPITALISM. Markets and businesses in general, are going to be dependent upon Cryptocurrency in the future. That’s a FACT. They are just trying to get better positioned for that, by taking advantage of unsure recent investors, scaring them out and then buying the crypto.

Buttcoinmodssuck

I’ve said it once I’ll say it again million times, Ethereum is a SECURITY that has a pre-mine in 2017 and offers staking rewards. Those two FACT negate its ability to be a commodity like BTC. Retail buys Ethereum because of unit bias. They think Ethereum is cheaper and will eventually overtake Bitcoin without actually understanding WHY Bitcoin has 54% dominance and is worth ~70k. Ethereum will never be worth as much as Bitcoin because it is a shitcoin with an infinite supply, unclear monetary policy, foundation that controls its policy, visible leader, protocol that benefits those with more ethereum than others, and ability to fork and reissue tokens if hacks happen. Ethereum will not get a an ETF and the opportunity cost of you wasting your time gambling with Ether will make you wish you had just put that money in Bitcoin when it’s at 100k. If y’all did research instead of just trying to buy the cheapest crypto you’d understand why all the smart money is in Bitcoin

People buying it and speculating on its price is not adoption! People and businesses accepting it to purchase things or selling things is adoption. A huge amount of daily transactions on BTC are exchange traffic. I never said Monero was bigger than bitcoin. But if you want to compare Monero and bitcoin, Monero shits all over bitcoin in being used as money! Bitcoin isn't fungible, Monero is fungible! Bitcoin is SLOW & expensive! Monero is much faster and is CHEAP! One or two cents transaction fees! Monero is simply being used! FACT. Monero does an excellent job at protecting it's users privacy! Bitcoin does not. Bitcoin is the perfect surveillance coin. With kyc and chain analysis companies, everything you do is tracked. And that is recorded for life. That's what an immutable public ledger does! I will never use bitcoin to make a purchase of something where I want to keep my privacy! Bitcoin has failed at being money. It's only thing now is store of value. And that's every single bitcoin maxi mantra! Buy don't sell, price go up. Fuck that. Bitcoin and Monero don't need to be in competition. With atomic swaps between BTC and XMR people can have their store of value with BTC, and the convenience of spending safely (privacy) with Monero.

ScoobaMonsta

Noob! The price is not a indicator of the success of a network. The true indicator is the network effect! And Monero's network effect has been growing constantly year on year! FACT! People who think price is what determines success are people who are only speculators who want to make fiat profits! They've never actually used it!

It is fact not fiction. I could say the same about your endthefud site. I’ve known this to be fact without even researching, it is the way computers and reality itself works. The FACT that it is possible, is all that is necessary to understand. Now actually executing it, will most definitely take processing power. Your iMac or windows isn’t enough. It takes a whole operation working with professionals dedicated to the task at hand. Meaning governments and capable entities. It is possible, just improbable. That alone is enough. The fact that we are here having this conversation on a floating rock in space, on a digital platform shouldn’t be possible in theory. Yet, here we are. It is possible, and will be executed. It is a matter of when, not if. Not how, but when.

Ashamed_Extreme

You seem to be okay with turning a blind eye to the actual threat. Any sophisticated attacker with access to such machines, such as Google, China, USA, Israel, or any entity with the funds and capability to attempt, can and will succeed. They can go undetected if they choose, targeting individuals; Or launch a full scale attack and take over the Satoshi wallets and claim to be Satoshi himself. The FACT that this IS possible should be public knowledge and of concern. It is only a matter of time, not skill, not funds… time.

ScoobaMonsta

Wrong! Indistinguishable is essential to fungibility! You are simply ignoring one part of the definition. And it's the most important part of it. Equal Value is derived from the ability to be indistinguishable. If you can distinguish one from another you'll have different value. FACT! It's as simple as that. Stated by the definition! You can't fully comprehend the information you are reading, and incapable of critical thinking. Choosing one part of information and discarding other important parts speaks volumes!

zillapz1989

Jesus how can you be so deluded? You lot have been claiming a crash to zero within a month for 13 years. Couple of points... 1. It's not possible for BTC to go to zero. It's literally impossible due to the lost supply. 2. Writing FACT doesn't make it a fact. Actually quite the opposite as it's pretty well correlated with uneducated morons. Even a broken clock is wrong twice a day but you can't even manage that success rate. You have been correct on officially 0% of occasions. FACT.

SilasX

Seriously? You need to stop making all these personal attacks. The FACT is, bitcoin is a scam. Bottom line. Above everything else, it's a giant scam. Once the sheeple wake up to it, it will crash to zero. Not one cent, not a tenth of a cent -- ZERO, with a capital Z. Anyone who tries to fluff it up is participating in the scam. I'd give it a solid month. Get out while you can.

You’re so smart and worldly arnt you lol This makes your original statement of 4 words even more contradictory. You’re the one painting the picture bud, pointing the finger in a vague, 4 word reply post aimed at a singular generation, which I’m from, so I reply, and now you’re sounding upset that I didn’t understand what your post was ACTUALLY TRYING TO SAY, and that there are IN FACT, POOR MILLENNIALS( shock horror), of which you had to then explain in another post, the context of your comment, and im the asshole here?? Right. I know there’s poverty everywhere mate hence why we’re on the same sub, so pull your head in. Not everyone’s a mind reader, you’re a fool if you think everyone across ALL generations, that are invested or interested in BTC, that ALL those people will take your 4 word reductive comment, “read between the lines”, and understand that actually, your comment was touching on how we shouldn’t be reductive in our assumptions of generations and their wealth, and really, we should be acknowledging how clever and liberal you are. Bullshit. I called you out on it and you simply don’t like that I did.

I think YOU are the one that is wrong, you stupid mother-fucker. We all DO HAVE HINDSIGHT. That is to say, we understand the situation AFTER THE FACT (of bitcoin doing well). If you HAD hindsight at the time, the only thing you'd be aware of is what happened before the tournament winnings. If you had FORESIGHT... then, only THEN would you want to have won more money to buy more bitcoin, you fucking imbecile. In my fucking situation I'm describing, your HINDSIGHT would not help you at all. If I had won some worthless bitcoin, this new thing I, nor others haven't really heard of yet; I'd have most likely just left it as is and sent my keys to my email. You're just fucking inventing a scenario where you lose your keys to make a point (which is just a pointlessly tangential argument).

Your answer to this again was: >Imagine thinking the country with the biggest gold reserve per capita (by far) has given up on hard money. So the conclusion is that you think CHF is hard money. Which is wrong, as they got rid of the gold standard in 1973. ​ >I said they love hard money and its a FACT bcuz they top 10 in reserve of gold + by far the most gold per capita + fiat shitcoin is performing better than any other shitcoin in the last few years. Here you show again that you don't know what hard money is. But let me explain: It's currency backed by gold or other precious metal. An there's not a single currency in the world left. It's all just fiat. >Going back to your statement. Where did i state, chf is hard money? Are you stupid? Do you always get rude when you run out of arguments?

Do your research. The First Step Act was just the wool being thrown over you eyes so you could be blind to all the things he and his administration was doing elsewhere. Source: https://www.americanprogress.org/article/fact-sheet-trump-says-one-thing-another-criminal-justice/ Downloads Share FACT SHEET FEB 3, 2020 Fact Sheet: Trump Says One Thing and Does Another on Criminal Justice A list of all the ways Trump’s U.S. Department of Justice contradicts his claims that he is a reformer. AUTHORS Lea Hunter Ed Chung Akua Amaning Advancing Racial Equity and Justice, Restoring Social Trust in Democracy, Criminal Justice Reform, +1 More MEDIA CONTACT GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS DOWNLOAD U.S. President Donald Trump speaks, December 2018. (Getty/Win McNamee) This factsheet contains an update. An earlier version of this list appeared in American Progress’s Infographic: President Trump is Falsely Claiming He is a Criminal Justice Reformer. President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed ownership of criminal reform because he signed the FIRST STEP Act—a bipartisan federal sentencing and prison reform bill. A month after signing the bill, he proclaimed, “I did criminal justice reform, nobody else. I did it. Without me, you don’t have criminal justice reform.” In fall 2019, he again declared, “I did criminal justice reform, which President Obama could not get approved—which the media never talks about. If President Obama got criminal justice reform done, it would be front-page stories all over the place. I got it done.”1 But these claims fly in the face of nearly every action this administration has taken, most of which are antithetical to reform efforts. Too often, the full context of the Trump administration’s record on criminal justice reform is obscured by celebrities visiting the White House and award ceremonies.2 However, behind the scenes, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) regularly contravenes the efforts of the criminal justice reform movement. Collected here are a list of those anti-reform actions to date: Restricted clemency to only those who are celebrities, well-connected individuals, or have a personal affiliation with the president3* Encouraged the use of excessive police force on peaceful Black Lives Matter protestors4* Threatened maximum sentences for vandalism of monuments5* Restarted federal executions after a 17-year informal moratorium on federal capital punishment6* Secretly altered the risk assessment authorized in the FIRST Step Act to drastically reduce the number of federally incarcerated people eligible to be released to subdue the spread of COVID-197* Denied federal coronavirus relief funding to small business owners with a criminal record8* Argued in court against people eligible for sentence reductions under the FIRST STEP Act9 Jeopardized the FIRST STEP Act by underfunding its programs10 Reinstated DOJ contracts with private prisons11 Left director of the Bureau of Prisons position vacant for more than a year12 Disbanded a program to create federal prison education systems13 Closed halfway houses that help those incarcerated transition back to the community14 Prohibited federal investigations of patterns of unconstitutional policing15 Stopped assistance to police departments that voluntarily wanted reform16 Eliminated restrictions preventing police departments from obtaining military equipment17 Eliminated community-based violence prevention programs18 Condemned public criticism of police by threatening that protestors “might find themselves without the protection they need”19 Eliminated DOJ community policing program grants in proposed executive budget20 Attacked prosecutors who are pursuing criminal justice reform in their communitites21 Proposed to eliminate a DOJ office dedicated to help communities reduce racial conflict22 Rescinded federal guidance meant to stem the flow of the school to prison pipeline23 Ordered federal prosecutors to pursue the harshest punishments possible24 Threatened federal prosecutions for marijuana in states where it is legal25 Attempted to resume use of the federal death penalty and encouraged expansion of the death penalty in drug cases26 Waged the same failed war on drugs from the 80s27 Attempted to force federal job candidates to disclose participation in diversion programs28 Expanded the federal use of civil asset forfeiture29 Suspended the national forensic science commission30 Failed to report on deaths in police custody as required by Congress31 Disbanded the DOJ Science Advisory Board that provided evidence-based rigor to DOJ policies32 Rescinded DOJ guidance that warned courts against excessive fees and fines33

Do you mean to say this as per below? >A new receiving address does not create a new private key. So nothing to backup. Are you sure? Or should you rephrase that statement to: **A newly generated receiving address does not create a new private key. So nothing to backup.** If so, then once again you are 100% dead wrong. **FACT: Every newly generated public address comes with a newly generated corresponding private key. And they must be backed up.**

> Thanks for being a good example of people parroting misinformation without having a clue. You realize you can only accuse someone of doing something, if that person actually did it right? How is asking a question, parroting information? If I made a STATEMENT as if I am stating a FACT, then you have proper grounds of maybe accusing me of parroting misinformation. Unless your intent is to go around lying about people, then chill out with the lying. > Actually to restart the network it’s necessary a supermajority of 65% validators. That kind of coordination requires many hours. This is why outages took hours and not 10 minutes like it would have been if it was actually a central authority. Thats still pretty quick. Thats why people from decentralized platforms question it. There’s nothing wrong with questioning it. > You realize now the level of misconception you have about Solana? I already said, I made no certain statements, so I have no misconceptions. > If you go deeper you would understand that Solana is much more decentralized than you thought. OK. But HOW? > It will never have 300k validators. The design architecture makes it impossible. Thats a downside, so there is some form of centralization then. If what you’re saying is there is a cap or a limit, because of the design architecture, then that means theres already a limit to how many validators you can have. It may not be as centralized as having only 50-100 validators, but there’s still a limit or a cap. Thats a flaw that leads to a form of centralization. > But I actually prefer 2k validators with a 23 Nakamoto coefficient than 50 mining companies controlling the hash rate, grouped in 2 mining pools with more than 50% of the total hash rate. This tells me nothing, this tells me about your preferences. Thats all. > Do you know who paid the salaries of the lead bitcoin developers? You should check it out. There is a reason why bitcoin never increased the block size although Nakamoto himself said that the limit was just a temporary measure and that it was expected to be increased. Idk why BTC is being talked about. > You have been tricked to believe that Bitcoin is actually decentralized while a small group of actors actually hindered its development and controlled the narrative to fiercely attack to any dissenting voice. Still don’t see how this is relevant to the conversation.

I think paying attention to Bitcoin legislation is important but I also think worrying is a waste of time. Bitcoin can’t be banned. This is a FACT. If you understand Bitcoin you understand that EW bill is all a part of political theater. EW has no other way to get attention than Bitcoin. I don’t think her bill will gain any actual traction. She has a losing history regarding sponsoring bills. I doubt EW can “outright” ban self custody. It’s been 14 years of people buying the asset. I think banning is more metaphorical ie making it cumbersome to transfer Bitcoin off exchanges. Banning could mean creating daily/ monthly withdrawal limits. But if I’m wrong and EW and company outright ban Bitcoin, they would have to write the law in such a way that grandfather in old Bitcoiners. An outright ban would mostly impact new Bitcoin investors. The biggest way it would impact old Hodlers is limiting our Bitcoin bag. If you only have 0.1 Bitcoin off exchanges by the time that bills goes into effect, that would be the amount of self sovereign Bitcoin that you have control of. There are a lot of reasons why EW won’t succeed but the biggest reasons is Bitcoin has a lot of political power. There are a lot of Billionaires who has some of their wealth in Bitcoin. An outright self custody ban would impact them. Cynthia Lummis and Ted Cruz have Bitcoin holdings. They are Republicans who will block any anti Bitcoin law because it financially impacts them. Also, once the SEC approves an ETF of Bitcoin EW’s argument gets ridiculous because the government she’s a part of just legitimized the access. The biggest takeaway from antiBitcoin bills should be simple, move your Bitcoin/wealth off exchanges so that if the government ever tries to limit exits out of fiat you will be fine.

This is not speculation, IT IS A FACT! Go look up the salaries and wages for yourself on the BEURO OF LABOR STATISTICS. Gov website. Also, websites like open payrolls . com also has the public payrolls of government workers. A GEORGIA STATE CRAIN OPERATOR MAKES THE SAME AS AN GEORGIA STATE JUDGE !!!! About $130-$150,000. About the same as an average primary care physician according to BLS data in Atlanta. Y’all just regurgitating boomer propaganda from these garbage public schools.

it just sounds like you copy pasted your third mainstream economic class, without ever thinking it through. because deflation is truly the evil? not at all, life and entropy will force you to sell as you need food, shelter etc. your own impulses will also make you buy stuff not strictly necessary. the economy wont die without inflation IN FACT, it will be the first time we see a real economy, not manipulated by endless credit. fiat and inflation create a rat race, which you are probably losing given how little you understand. most of your money, if not all, is in fiat, and is losing value BY DESIGN, so governments can PAY FOR WAR (and secondarily, things like roads etc) which means you are aquiescing to your own financial rape, and that of the whole world, in the name of never ending consumerism if merchants cheat their customers, is because inflation incentivizes them to, as things get constantly more expensive. the destruction of the world and its resources? done on credit wanna protect fiat some more? do you own a home? has the prices of homes quadrupled relative to your income, thus pricing you out of the real estate market, the main way the middle class tries to advance and secure themselves in the world. Thanks to fiat, the American Dream is dead, as stocks and real estate are inflated to hell. vietnam war, and every useless war ever since? fought on credit. look up Richard Ramirez, the serial killer. His cousin was a "decorated green beret" in Vietnam. But all that meant is he mutilated and tortured people, took pictures told his cousin about it, who then became one of the darkest serial killers in history. thanks to fucking fiat, the world has been traumatized beyond belief, as the demonically possessed "money masters" essentually use the printing press to make a world a darker, more depressing, but more easily exploited world. This is done by endless wars fought on credit, credit given to big companies like banks that do the government's bidding ​ stop supporting the fiat regime, you are supporting war, robbery, rape, theft on a macro scale

WoS etc don’t count, with them you reimplement banking with extra steps. if you think that LN in its pure form (self custodial, without centralised providers etc) is going to be used by anyone other than few cryptopunk freaks like us you’re probably a dreamer it’s the FACT that L2 based scaling solutions (drivechains, rollups, validiums) are way more comfortable and scalable for users while keeping all security properties such as decentralisation and self-custody. if LN was adopted by people, it would be a nightmare for bitcoin - everyone would use custodial solutions in exchange for somewhat working UX only with them its possible to run smart contracts on bitcoin. smart contracts ARE necessary for bitcoin as a financial system even if you think they aren’t - read some of my other replies come and try some shitcoin, scam, whatever you say, smart contract platform. you will be surprised how all existing custodial 3rd party institutions become useless with them

by any conceivable definition of "buy" or "own", OP has satisfied both. you purchase a bitcoin, which is legally owed to you. it is HELD by fidelity, but you absolutely own it and you absolutely bought it. if your car is getting worked on, you still own that car even if the mechanic physically HAS it. sure, if society as we know it implodes then actually having the bitcoin that you bought and own would matter. but that doesnt change the FACT that op did BUY bitcoin. they just dont hold the bitcoin. if you want to debate the pros and cons of actually holding your own bitcoin in case of the appocalypse, and hedging against the end of the government by paying taxes and lowering how many sats you own (ironic) we can do that. but that is a separate topic, and doesnt change the fact that OP bought and OWNS bitcoin by any definition you can find. I would love a source where you can justify the claim that you cant buy something and cant own something unless you are holding it in your hand.

The FACT is that the fiat system is literal garbage. The FACT is that currencies are printed, while money is created.

Continue stacking your equally weighted paper, while most will continue stacking a TRUE form of HONEST money.

It’s a FACT LOL

Ok_Tomorrow3281

i illustrated with electric car because in the past they have massive community and become a big factor IN ECONOMIC system. To shape the world you need this ECONOMIC MOVEMENTS. and it is a FACT web3 plays big factor in this era alongside AI. countries need to make several adjustment in their regulation, and it's been many years now. something like this cannot be stop. so your stupid example of "VHS or Betamax " is invalid, just look at this stupid statement; “8K screens are not enough, what if you need 192K TVs in your living room? " \- fuckin hell, you need to compare at the CURRENT REALITY alongside your imagination, the answer is simple. \- Do I need 192k tv RIGHT NOW? NO. \- Do i really need 192k tv ? NOT REALLY \- Is this 8k tv really need to be replaced ? NOT REALLY. many answers, many questions, many decisions, and also stop making stupid assumption out of context to justify your ego. i dont even have apecoin or memecoin. discussion isn't about who's correct but looking at bigger perspectives. and again, no matter how much you against it. new business still trying to exploit web3, because that's how the world works and your opinion wont be matter

It is a FACT that inflation is not a tax. Pretty simple, bud.

>There is no confirmation about that but there are some reasons this could be true. I am not a Binance supporter (I cant even use it where I am geo-located), but until we see on-chain proof this is just FUD. With on-chain proof, it becomes FACT. Plus, as long as they are using their own reserves, there is nothing wrong with them artificially bracing BNB price. If they are using customer assets (SAFU) to do this, then we have huge problems.

Soit on. Western people and Americans mostly just oversee the use of stable coins as they don’t need them. So yeah for western people it’s: -tax free compared to the the dollar (not sure how it works but I bet it’s less taxed than crypto to fiat) -quicker to deploy in the market (can store anywhere not only cexes) -funny enough, stables have used compared to fiat (expect for daily payment). These can still be payment if a merchant accepts it (barter), and uses in the blockchain ecosystem. If you’re into blockchain stables are better than fiat cause you can use them for several reasons. These reasons can be swap tokens that aren’t on your cex (no bad joke here), yield, ease of storage, freedom of use (unlikely but you can always have your money frozen by your bank, just like the USA has frozen russian reserves (NO POLITICS, JUST A FACT)) among others.

I figured as much. I was there fairly early on for the GME thing, and lot of these crypto sub communities sound exactly the same as WSB did after the normies who jumped in at the top started losing all their money back then. Nothing but denial and cope. It's no surprise they're still blaming the same fuckin people. GUYS: CITADEL IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY DOLLAR YOU LOSE. YOU HAVE TO FACE THE FACT THAT YOU MIGHT JUST BE A STUPID ASS, AND A BAD INVESTOR.

The value may well mirror the stock market, for obvious reasons. Economy takes a hit, then spending takes a hit, and some people have to sell assets to pay bills, or they just move money to safe havens, like bonds. ps. Bond prices are up. Stock market advice does not apply to crypto. Crypto is a zero sum game, to win someone has to lose, FACT. The stock market should and does grow over time because companies produce more goods and services and become more efficient. They also make profits, which are paid out to shareholders or reinvested to fuel further growth. How exactly does crypto compare beyond 'currently' falling with the market?

FACT is a non fungible token (NFT). You can find FACT on most of subreddits. It is usually very cheap if you find it early and very expensive when you find it late. One FACT is equal to one OPINION.

Graham2405

"we all invested in cryptocurrency to hopefully have a better life, break free from the corrupted FED, the manipulative stock market, to be our own bank…" ...and you think that a completely unregulated market of made up currencies is a better alternative? it's a zero sum game, for anyone to make a profit someone else has to lose, FACT. I guess the question is, 'can you see the fool at the table?'

Also bitcoin isn’t anonymous dude. It’s pseudonyms! Very big difference! And I’ll reiterate, privacy and anonymity are not NOT the same thing! Fungibility and privacy are essential! You can’t have fungibility if you don’t have privacy! This is a FACT! Educate yourself.

ScoobaMonsta

Privacy and anonymity are not the same thing. They are completely different things! Anonymity has nothing to do with fungibility. Fungibility is math? No it’s not! Wow it’s incredible the lack of basic understanding of fungibility in here is. Bitcoin is not fungible because it’s not private. Any bitcoin or satoshi can be linked to any transaction in its history. This simple fact alone is what makes bitcoin NOT fungible! Bitcoin’s block header identifier can not be erased! Bitcoin is immutable! Link a certain activity to a transaction and that bitcoin becomes fundamentally different to freshly mined bitcoin. FACT!

ScoobaMonsta

One bitcoin that was freshly mined with no history is not equal to one bitcoin that has a long history with a past transaction that has been involved in a crime of some kind. There’s plenty of organisations that pay a premium (above market price) for fresh virgin Bitcoin’s. There’s plenty of cases where transactions from flagged wallets are censored and accounts closed. Not all Bitcoin’s are worth the same! This is a FACT. This fundamentally makes bitcoin non fungible. Bitcoin is a perfect example of a NFT.

CrowdGoesWildWoooo

I am not presenting it as fact. If you look at how I presented mine there are tons of “I think”, “I believe”, that’s not how you present facts. Even if I say “I think it make sense” that’s not in anyway saying that it is a fact. Note that the language lesson I just taught you, this is a FACT, if you have ever attended a formal lesson about writing the expressions or the method is called hedging. Of course when you engage in a debate you want to be “right”, or at the very least you want to change the opinion of your debating opponent which is the point of engaging in the debate in the first place. But that does not imply even if one “wins” the debate that implies he is factually right, you can win the debate but still factually wrong or maybe both of the participants are wrong, that’s normal. And calling your debating opponent as “smooth brain” or “clown” doesn’t make your opinion more valid or convincing.

Completely wrong. Technical analysis 'experts' are almost exclusively now working on long-term charts (hourly, daily, etc.), because algos dominate the short term ones. Algos are not very good at predicting the future in the long run (beyond two or three hours). The reasons for that are many, but one of the reasons is because on longer time-frames there is less historical data available (there are less daily candles than there are minute by minute candles in a year). Since algos feed on data, they want the most data they can get. That's only one of the reasons. But you're incorrect in your assessment, because the fact is that the financial industry is IN FACT dominated by algos. That would not be the case if they weren't better than human traders.

>He is like the dad jokes of Memes, not the Meme king. Lol, the FACT so many REACT to his trolling and memes says you are 100% wrong! See, you can HOPE it's not true.... But what repeatedly plays out in reality disproves you time, after time, after time, after time, after time, after time...... He is trolling the SHEEP mentally of the masses that react to his catalyst! Literally the ENTIRE crypto market REACTS to his catalyst at times! And you want to point at the troll LORD as being the problem..... That just makes YOU part of the problem in that you can't stop for a second and see the ACTUAL problem is the majority who stampede based on PERCEIVED sentiment like a herd of fuckin SHEEP! Musk is without a doubt the troll LORD, the mutha fuckin meme KING! The way he holds up a mirror to the masses and they can't help but react, is succinctly sarcastic.... and goes completely over most people's heads! Just go back and read most of the comments in this thread.... Lots of people saying how Musk isn't relative to the crypto market (and his not and Musk is pocking fun at EXACTLY the same thing, that he is NOT relevant) but the very fact so many people are reacting (positively or negatively doesn't matter) that triggers sentiment traders (the majority of retail traders) and they can't help but rush to trade in the direction that they think everyone else will trade. It becomes a self fulfilling stupidity! And that ultimately, is what Musk is repeatedly trolling! Just watch the puppets dance!

Again, you fail to say what is this "very different purpose" that bitcoin serves. Again, if it is a store of value (which you and I both know is its ONLY purpose) it has well and truly failed, and disappointed millions of people around the world. By the store of value metric, bitcoin is an absolute failure. Now there are obviously many other metrics in crypto, and it is a FACT (not my opinion at all) that many individual alts are superior to bitcoin in every single metric. You will not find one metric in which bitcoin is superior to other alts, not one. If we're talking market cap, duh obviously btc is number one. But that's only because it came first. It doesn't dump like alts precisely *because* of its huge market cap and how much money has been pumped into it for over a decade. The bigger the market cap, the less wild the price swings. That doesn't make an alt in any way superior. It's bitcoin vs the US dollar, not alts. And the US dollar is winning now and has been for quite some time.

Post is by: FACT0RN and the url/text [ ](https://goo.gl/GP6ppk)is: /r/CryptoCurrency/comments/ucjnij/integer_factorization_as_proof_of_work_pow/ I am curious to know what the crypto currency community thinks of this idea. What are your thoughts on integer factorization as a replacement for hashing in PoW? See, [https://github.com/FACT0RN/FACT0RN](https://github.com/FACT0RN/FACT0RN) . I am looking to get a community assessment on this idea as well as a sense of how much interest there is in a blockchain like this one. The central idea being replacing grunt work like hashing SHA2 for a simple problem that has been studied for thousand of years that is an area of active research to this day. Admittedly, it is beyond an idea at this point because it has actually been implemented.

UNPOPULAR FACT: All of the insurrectionists attacking the capitol come from 'the Right'. Democracy wants to be alive, which is precisely why the Right is so concerned about it. Yes, SOME Democrats are fools... But the majority of attacks are coming from the Right.

It’s not! You are shilling lies! Noncustodial wallets are safer than custodial wallets. Cold wallets are safer than hot wallets. You can throw whatever statistics out there you want. It’s not relevant to the technical facts. The technical facts are that your coins are safer in non custodial wallets, and even safer when they are cold wallets! This is a FACT! Giving statistics on how lazy people are about doing their due diligence in basic security and using that as proof that non custodial wallets are riskier than custodial wallets is just straight up CRAP! If you don’t have direct control of your coins, it means you don’t own them. Not your keys, not your coins! I know you don’t believe this and no amount of truth and proof is going to change your mind. But this is for any new people to crypto who might read this. Learn the basics of crypto wallets. It’s not difficult at all! You can learn everything you need to know about wallets and how to keep private keys and/or wallet seeds safe and secure, in ONE DAY! Yes just ONE DAY! It’s people like you who scare new people into thinking it’s difficult and risky through bullshit meaningless statistics which have nothing to do with the fundamental terminology, but only to do with the laziness of the human! There’s plenty of information out there where people can learn the very basics to take ownership of their assets and to secure those assets. https://www.coindesk.com/learn/custodial-wallets-vs-non-custodial-crypto-wallets/ https://keys.casa/how-it-works

Sounds like someone believes a bunch of right wing misinformation, like ‘left wing’ people being poor. How does that jive with the FACT that more educated people lean left? Isn’t that why right wingers hate colleges? Because they produce educated people who lean left? It’s almost like your beliefs don’t make sense…

1. Every FIAT currency since has FAILED. Undeniable FACT. 2. Gold and Silver are just to hard to transact and we are in a digital age. 3. I believe in freedom of money with no restrictions. 4. Innovation of the future of money/transactions. 5. I hate banks and the current financial system.

FUN FACT: We'll always complain. Today I read complaint on Reddit about the Les Paul Standard at the Smithsonian. Apparently they should have displayed a Les Paul Custom. Complain, it's what we do.

I'm a "FrEe SPeEcH" guy. But I kind of agree with this.. I'd be okay with Strict Scientific Standards and bringing back the Bibliography, to cite "studies" Although This article did.. Maybe not this particular one, but the first 3 I saw cited the 500+ Person Study... (544? if i remember right) Really Wide Sample Size... And even from there The ONE Mentioned like 30% o people "showed Signs" Which is Hardly Enough Evidence for a diagnosis, FROM A SURVEY... What is the Exact Data that lead them to Suggest this? It was a survey, Was it multiple Choice, With a loaded Answer? Was it Essay? Where people Primed First? Was it conducted Anytime Close to A major Spike in CoVid? (people haven't exactly been their "best" self lately... ) But To Present this as FACT is Disgusting. This is not new... But people have stopped asking questions and thinking for themselves. In fact Nowadays we Cancel , Ban, and Deplatform people for that.

It's a little sad that you are trying to shut down someone who is stating a FACT under the guise of "spreading FUD". That's not cool man.

Bra, just because your "mad" someone brought up a FACT doesn't mean you have to get salty and threaten to report them. That's harassment and against the principles of this sub. People are allowed an opinion based on fact. FACTS ARE nano was spam attacked which makes it INSECURE.
