I'm not going to try to convince anyone or shill Crypto. But at this point you'd have to be a fool not to take profits in it.
Solid strategy.

Heard those doom and gloom predictions about crypto since 2011. Missed out on a ton of money listening to "going to a zero" ****g0ts. I'll continue to invest and if this chit does crash then no regrets, the worst regret is missing out.

Theyre hooked on that hopium, crypto is 100% going to be smashed in the future.

The central banks will cripple it then roll our their central bank digital currency.

This is 100% happening no matter how much hemming and hawing people do

Do some research. Nearly all of the major banks/investing services are now beginning to offer BTC/Crypto to customers. VISA and some major credit card companies are getting involved in Crypto now. There are already mutual funds in the works for Crypto. I was a denier for a long time until I sat down and did a lot of research because if there was going to be a future in it, I didn't want to miss out. I'll be the first to say that I was completely wrong about it as little as 6 months ago. In the process of getting a BlockFi or SoFI credit card. Not sure which yet.

Banking institutions aren't going to kill Bitcoin/Crypto. They are going to control it. They can literally afford to buy billions of dollars worth of Crypto. We are beginning to see them make big moves into that market.

https://www.cnbc.com/2021/10/05/bitc...to-demand.html




For every 90K I invest in the market I'm going to invest 10K into crypto. DCA my way in. Good news is, its not too late. BTC and ETH will most likely have a big pull-back in the near future.

It will be worthless srs.

No hate. Ride the rocket while you can, get as much as possible. But don't think this is the future, son. Bankers own you. They are letting you play the game for the time being, but if you're not careful they will steal all your toys.

Not the future for OP anyways.

OP saving his dollars which will be worth less than half while BTC will be worth twice as much. OP would commit suicide but won't be able to afford the rope.

Nocoiners are gross.

If anyone wants to ascend and wants something cheap to get them in the game, buy Proton. Now you can say you knew about Proton back in 2021 and still didn't buy it when it was so cheap haha.

What happened to backing money with assets and commodities? When the gold standard was dropped, the Fed started messing up real bad. Then we all discussed the implications and results of not having a commodity backed monetary system. Now we’re back to a currency without anything keeping it grounded and it’s “the new best thing”.

With bad inflation, and nothing to back it, grashams law is going to become very real. In fact, bitcoin might even be the result of grashams law, but the new money is never as stable.

I think Americans need to create a monetary system with backing that the fed can’t control. THAT would be great. Then we would be free again. Let the fed collapse.

Our economy was way more stable before the fed reserve and with gold (commodity) standard. Prove me wrong…

There are a lot of things that people need, that you can't just print without consuming other resources. Those things have real value, which depends on need, but at least it's real value.

We already have digital currency. You can transfer dollars digitally and instantly with real-time rails. It's also safe and government backed, and tracked and logged for a very long time.


There's almost no real-life use case for BTC or related coins. Blockchain may be useful but crypto has always been a hype thing used by people without any significant understanding of economics, or the depth of regulations that are needed to make any currency successful, or the millions of man hours that go into regulating the US dollar so it works everywhere like it does.

You're confusing digital currency with cryptocurrency

I thought it was clear as day, but people get blinded by greed, making a quick buck is everything for most people and I don't blame them, however just LMAO if you think the central bankers will allow a bunch of nerds and scammers to eat their lunch.

Exactly. The majority of people see what they want to see rather than what is in front of them.

I’ve come to learn that the gold standard actually kept the Fed reigned in. They couldn’t print more money than we had gold to cover it. Once they ditched the gold standard, the Fed’s ability to print became limitless.

Your right OP, thing is there is no tellng how long they will let it ride. It is basically a casino game, where you try to ride it for as long as possible before it crashes. Imagine playing black jack, you draw King and a 6, dealer is showing a Queen, what do you do?
