YES! I DO!!! Sweet sweet Bitcoin. I want to see it at 40 or less then trend sideways for a while.
YES! I would love it, if it would flash crash down to $40,000 on my payday! And stay there for about a month, so i could massively stock up. But thats probably NEVER going to happen again. Too much is now owned by all the ETFs eating up all thr bitcoin. All these purchases are happeing off the main marketz with back door transactions. The moment they all start buying up all the bitcoin off the open exchanges we going to get some massive price shock.

Yes both candidates are less than good, but one candidate is absolute trash. One obeys the laws and tries to do what's best in a bad situation (for most things anyway). Meanwhile the other lies, cheats, steals, and then acts like your best friend while talking shit about you behind your back. One pays his bills, the other doesn't. One lies with every gd sentence that comes out of his mouth. One is fake in EVERY. SENSE. OF. THE. WORD. Idk where yall get off with making it out like both sides are equally terrible. Are both sides ultimately controlled by the almighty dollar - YES. But is one side doing thing that AT LEAST keeps some level of freedoms available in the country & doesn't intentionally lie, cheat, steal, and backstab EVERY PERSON HES EVER MET. Fuck outta here with "both options for president are the same". No. No tf they're not.
“SIR YES SIR!!!!” You have to say this while sounding highly regarded, just like OP.

You mean slow, used mostly by scammers and slowly finding legitimacy, like the early internet days. YES!!! 🫣
Because some people have been suspicious, rightly so, I want to mention that the dev team is fully doxxed, LP is locked, over 1% of the supply has been burned, and YES we actually DO give to charity and Jaime Rogozinski IS actually the co-founder of this coin. This is not a rug by any means and if you DYOR you'd see that.

There just isn't anything to research. You can see charts showing that early adopters are in the greens. YES obviously, that's how snowball systems work. You can also find totally hyped telegram and discord groups. That does not make a good token. The difference is memecoins don't even try to be a good token. The devs have nothing to loose because they never even promised anything.

This feels rhetorical. YES.
BTC wallets are selling now at $62-63,000 - there is no chance of BTC going even to $75,000 at this behavior - so answer is YES

>I don't see it as a problem. there's enough bitcoin for everyone, forever. Some people will invest, some will not. Some people will save, some people will spend. Like I said, the fixed supply nature of bitcoin is the problem due to its deflationary pressures. You'd be surprised how cheap people are and how much they'll go to save a few bucks. >It wouldn't be more more than [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJitWKdXwAAvgWP?format=jpg&name=4096x4096). this inequality is made by printing money and the cantillon effect Ya except there is no reason to give out loans under bitcoin as earning a return off the money itself would make more sense. Thus, a poor person would never be able to become an entrepreneur. >you're destined to be poor because you didn't bought gold in 1950?? because you didn't buy google, apple, facebook when they come out?? this is a poor argument. this point is not going to your head. YOU COULD SAVE. you wouldn't be poor. Thanks to capitalism a whole new crop of business spring up from time to time for people to invest in. If you're assuming bitcoin will become the de facto currency, then there would be no other competing currencies to invest in. Again, saving withholds capital for investment. This is for lazy people. Capitalism doesn't thrive with laziness. >YES, everyone collective would become wealthier. even the poores of them all could SAVE and have a modest life. The poor would stay poor because there wouldn't be enough jobs given that demand for goods and services would be significantly reduced. >how? people cant SAVE. That's why you invest your money either back into yourself e.g. getting more education to earn more money or you invest it into cash producing assets like stocks, real estate etc. Again, "saving" cash and expecting a return on it just introduces laziness. >you don't. you don't need inflation to grow the economy. A gentle nudge of inflation helps grease the wheels, again to incentivize investment. The USD has already lost something to the tune of 99% of its value and yet the USA still has the greatest economy on the planet. >my final question for you: why are you even on this sub and are you/why are you buying bitcoin? Because I just see bitcoin as a speculative asset. It's pretty unlikely any of these doomsday scenarios will play out but I'll still keep a small percentage of my overall investment portfolio in bitcoin just incase I'm wrong. Moreover, I just like to debate I think most people here didn't even take high school economics, so their perspectives are rather skewed. I'm not saying the current system we have is perfect, but seems like everyone here is saying the sky is falling and yet if that were the case, why does the USA already have the strongest economy on the planet which is based off fiat money?
>you're not seeing the hoarding risk from an investing standpoint. I don't see it as a problem. there's enough bitcoin for everyone, forever. Some people will invest, some will not. Some people will save, some people will spend. >Moreover, wealthy inequality would be even greater than it is now. It wouldn't be more more than [this](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJitWKdXwAAvgWP?format=jpg&name=4096x4096). this inequality is made by printing money and the cantillon effect. >You're destined to be poor just because you weren't born in time to buy enough bitcoin you're destined to be poor because you didn't bought gold in 1950?? because you didn't buy google, apple, facebook when they come out?? this is a poor argument. this point is not going to your head. YOU COULD SAVE. you wouldn't be poor. >Thus, the value and demand with a fixed supply would apply constant upward price pressure. YES, everyone collective would become wealthier. even the poores of them all could SAVE and have a modest life. >If bitcoin is money, then why aren't you spending all of it right now? because I need to SAVE so I can pay my debts, and my children's future. >I want to see you buy some bitcoin and then spend it at a loss or buy it back at a higher price. volatility will go away with adoption. if I SAVE more than I spend I'll be ok. >People can already save if they want to without the need for bitcoin how? people cant SAVE. >Moreover, consumerism creates incentive for innovation and technological improvements. you don't. you don't need inflation to grow the economy. >Most just want to enjoy life while they can. yes, and they will spend their bitcoin as am i, if I can, to live my life. you really cant make sense of this save and spend dynamic. we have fundamentally a different vision on how things will play out, and only the future will prove one of us right. one thing is 100% certain, hard money always win, 100% of the times.
To spell it out for others not as familiar with the broad spectrum of crypto, YES you can hide the funds, but you need a FIAT rail to get the money out and finding this is the tricky part.

This comment is going t rage so many people rofl. Because YES it’s true, you all need to man up and get over it.
People are still sitting here acting like it's a binary path forward - keep bitcoin and lightning and try and make it work or use other tokens with more L1 throughput. I hate this. This is a software problem and one that WILL be solved. It's going to take a many layered approach just like building the internet did except building a monetary network requires a touch more careful though and review than internet. Chill. Touch grass. Things will be fine and Lightning will continue to be used where there is best market fit. Enough of this "I tried something and it didn't work so it's dead to me so it must be dead to everyone". YES lightning isn't perfect. NO we aren't done.

Wait... I was told to say NO to drugs. I have to say YES to one of them!
YES. You should fcking buy NOW before the halving kicks in.
YES YES YES no kidding, bitcoin will skyrocket soon, perfect storm for this is brewing: hong kong etf approval halving iran attacking israel gold breakout abysmal dollar debt auction FED will have to cut rates ==> mega bullish for bitcoin and about one hundred more reasons my advice: buy now, there may be very little days where BTC is heavy under 70k. Very little days, like 1-2.
Well, if you wish you had more when it was over 70k… YES! If not then… maybe… well, yes also.
investing is different than memecoins... people invest in the stock market.. memecoins are just about whose early and which ones go parabolic... OPs original question is it a gamble to get rich off of meme coins.. the answer is a resounding YES
Will it? major ETH hodlers say YES! others say No who knowssssss
It’s not bad… it’s good… your perception of the market is bad. Just because Bitcoin price drops doesn’t make it inherently bad. I think Bitcoins price dropping is bad therefor it is. Is it possible to look at high USD inflation coinciding with Bitcoin dropping and say FUCK YES? Don’t think so structured. Think abstractly. Bitcoin is good inflation is bad. Price is fleeting.
YES! Finally someone sees it
If you can prove the identity behind a blockchain address, you must be Jason Statham. Jokes aside, YES, if you can prove it, let the FBI know. Hope the catch the rotten swines
YES man love this glass half full mentality. It's a finite commodity and only 4% of the planet is involved at all yet,,

So you're telling me there's a chance.. YES!
You realize that Bitcoin is a global asset, correct? Traded in every fiat currency... The shittiest currencies hit new ATHs months before the USD. YES, there's increased adoption... as long as you open your eyes to what's going on around you (maybe outside your bubble, tho). There's no way possible that the price could keep climbing with only the same people buying and selling to each other.
YES ! HODL & HODL ! And then ? What will you do with them ?
I just hate that saying too "Invest in bitcoin what you can afford to lose". If you do your homework and the hours you put it in in studying bitcoin, the result will succeed. You just wait for the rest of the dumbassess in this world to catching up what you have learned. SO YES, 100% Bitcoin.
As far as I can see it, Ripple, does everythign humanly possible to FUCK XRP. Stable coin? NO Liquidity Hub? NO Dump on retail to raise money? YES So happy I got out of XRP and into BTC - within 2 weeks of changing, I could afford 2 trips with the wife to Mexico / St. Maarten and have plenty over before the having. XLM is the same scam. Oh, and before the moon boys come attacking me - blackrock and saylor are buying btc at crazy high prices, you can save your breath on banks waiting for the "right time" to buy xrp - it's not happening.

YES!!!! There’s no escape.
Lol...this can't even be a question....it's so irrelevant! What if I say YES? ....or NO? ...what in the world this could affect anything in your life? ... On top of it there's so many factors in play here....maybe I have 5 children, or none...maybe I am 22 years old,, or 76 ....maybe we see money very differently? ....maybe I don't give a flying fuk about $$$ .....maybe I am in love with $$$ This question couldn't be more empty... :P

worth it. YES IN future! 1 btc 10 mil
Hijacking top comment to say YES there really is an amount that's too little, specifically if you plan on taking your Bitcoin into self custody. Fees for moving coins on chain will always be increasing, and over time you risk very small amounts of bitcoin being literally worthless because they're too expensive to move E.g., imagine $50 of BTC in a wallet but it costs $51 to move A good rule of thumb for cold storage is to withdraw amounts over 1M SATs (0.01 BTC), currently ~$700. Even if fees rise dramatically in the future, they won't materially eat away too much value. You can safely buy less if you're going to keep it on an Exchange, buy the ETF, etc., but try to withdraw in chunk of 0.01 BTC or greater Video on how to consolidate your BTC if you have been withdrawing tiny amounts and didn't know about this: https://youtu.be/krrUQGMKhPo?si=M0vGDdoLsbnso3Sz
YES! There are risks everywhere. Even putting it in the bank, stocks etc. BTC has the best risk/rewards for me…easy choice
YES, comic books are dropping in value as people who had them as kids and wanted them again have already required them. The market is dying out with the old comics in with the new bitcoin
Lol this is just me, if it was MY choice - HELL YES! Sell for as much money as i could get and buy up as many satoshis as i could afford, and the move it to a cold wallet, and place into deep storage.

No one knows, the only thing you have to ask yourself is : will I need bitcoin in the future ? For me it's a blatant YES and so you should act accordingly.
YES!! IMMEDIATELY! You should buy a coldcard which is about $179. /s
Lots of people asked me if Bitcoin was going to go back up when it was around $20k and I was always like "YES. Study bitcoin soon and take a small position around here, because you will never see Bitcoin this low again" Those same people all hit me up when Bitcoin goes from $40k to $70 asking if now is a good time to buy. The human brain buys high and sells low by default.

a scammer can get them YES NO qualifies for ROTH IRA YES NO
FUCK YES! Sold 100% of my BTC at a solid 70k and now going to start buying back in gradually... hoping for further drops. Everyone should have seen this coming. This is 100% standard Bitcoin behavior around halving events. So far, Bitcoin has been the most predictable asset I've ever held in my life. It's a protocol, people. It's computer code - it's going to follow patterns.

Instead of Bitcoin, people should be paid more by banks to put their money in investment portfolios since these provide the liquidity necessary to make the economy work. > > ​ > > # Bitcoin: A very big spending of energy. > > ​ > > Bitcoin is a project which is wasting a lot of ressource for something which is not making a lot of sense. While Bitcoin is using more and more green energy, I'd argue that it is still a big waste. Subsidies could prop up the green sector far better than the mining farms that go with windfarms. > > Seeing Bitcoin as one of the biggest leverage of the green sector is a non-sense. Optimization of the energy sector means that the variable production should allow to reduce the use of fossil energy. Not allow to waste energy in a senseless project. > > ​ > > # Conclusion: The harsh truth is, we may be the bad guys. > > Partaking in an economic sector which allows for a disruption of world order, which doesn't help the economy and which is wasting energy may not be beneficial. This is why Bitcoin should not be seen as a messiah of economic proportion but as something which should raise criticism and should be heavily regulated. > > Good luck in your investments. ***** Would you like to learn more?
