I got tired of all the clickbaity media newsflashy-price SHIT.
Also, @Car will like:
David Bailey, Chief Executive Chairman of BTC Inc, the owner of Bitcoin Magazine, and the Forrest Gump of Bitcoin, merged his Nakamoto with KindlyMD and finally got to unleash his war chest of almost $700 million to buy bitcoin. He hit the (local?) top, as so many bitcoin-savers have done over the years, and instantly incinerated about $36 million.
In that same vein... YOU WANT US TO PUBLISH BETTER STUFF? Then fucking read and click on better stuff -.-
All we can do, as good bitcoin price therapists, is deal with it. Buy more, sell some chairs or kidneys, or close the screen and go for a walk. Nobody knows if hyperbitcoinization is here next week or next century, even though it makes a world of difference to your personal finances which one it is.
I think siggy said that at his in-person meetups, people mostly want to talk about Saylor and price.
Face it, bitcoiners are a minority, and principled bitcoiners are a minority within a minority.
So what is this "plan" of these Saylor and price people?
Wait for it to go up and then... sell for what? Dollars?
It has been going up, it has been virtually on a bull run since like late 2022. They could sell now, and be "in profit". Why don't they?
And after all, what "price" are they looking for? If Bitcoin is 200k USD per Bitcoin... is that enough for them to sell? That's less than 2x of today's exchange rate. So what difference does it make?
If these people self custody (they do I assume) and run a node (they should) isn't it a huge hassle to move Bitcoin to an exchange? Address verification, confirmations, Cap Gain taxes on a registered exchange, the paperwork, security etc etc
There are a lot of moving parts. It just seems like 'the price' is a silly thing to worry about.
Sell? sell for what?!
Hookers & powder, duh. Good news tho: one doesn't need to go through a KYC exchange for these deals - providers of these often accept sats and if not, they're easy to orange pill.
Sooo... There is no revolution, its just hype?
I've always maintained that a possible outcome for Bitcon is something like TOR.
Forever niche, but having its place.
FWIW, Bitcoin price can continue to go up, even if its impact on society is small and niche
There is no way to have a revolution without hype. And no way to have hype... without a revolution
I'll note there have been very few price posts on SN...
Because we vote with our sats, which are better than eyeballs or dollars.
Because Stacker News is the real deal
...and, you know, dying.
Nuff said.
What? Dying? What's dying?
@denlillaapan is just grumpy cuz bitcoin magazine doesn't have zaps.
no hes that low station smart person cliche desperate to create bigger losers than himself
I see you, loser. Enjoy the decline.
Also, tried a grammar check recently?
zaps?! ZAPS?!
Honestly, though, somebody brought it up in a meeting last week... like whyyy though? Just go zap on Nostr, WHERE THE REAL DEAL IS
Zaps? Because they are more fun than likes (and useful).
Nostr? Sure, I looked up your npub. One client couldn't find any posts between 9 August and 19 August. Another could.
Here's a recent post of yours: https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0mjuw5yrr64lu7295lxzmxs08erykz05t2luusm9pejh258dvqrqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtczyq3arktn24qedet3vg4h35ktsk0ar66hncszny6cc0pc7nvs8ufh7qcyqqqqqqguwc8m3
Amethyst doesn't show any zaps, nor any interactions. Nostr.band doesn't show any zaps, but it does show two thumbs up things.
On the other hand, posting here got 17 comments and 11 zappers.
Why is nostr "where the real deal is"?
his hair follicles
Crawling global privacy crackdown is enough FUD imho
