You will never know how amazing cryptocurrency used to be.
Privacy coins, masternodes, cryptopia, Poloniex, cryptsy, ICOs, BitMEX trollbox, Ethereum, Bitcoin airdrops, hated globally, anon CT characters, NFTS didn’t exist, Silk Road 1, 2 and 3, we dared to dream.
Not a funny answer but the correct one:
By trying to be the best of both worlds ETH is the worst of both worlds.
It’s not decentralized, immutable, and evenly distributed as BTC to attract the hard core sound money folks.
But also it’s not fast, flexible, and simple (ie no L2s) as Solana to attract the degens who want to use DeFi.
Its use case is like enterprise global grade smart contract platform for storing truly important things. But literally no one wants that, at least yet. The market only demands digital gold and degenerate gambling. So ETH gets rekt.
Sometimes I say & do stupid shit.
As I do, I'll reflect, learn & grow, and hopefully say slightly less stupid shit in the future (on average).
Let's try to give each other room to evolve our thinking.
It'll make online discourse more free, fun, and productive.
2025 is gonna be wild 🔥
I love you all! ❤️
ETF prediction - price dumps on news, weak hands panic, leverage traders get margin called.
Legends pick up cheap sats and price rises prior to ETFs actually trading.
Upon trading, a million, bazillion, glabillion dollars comes in and we all get girlfriends.
@PeterMcCormack Although a lot of people seem to think this will be the case, which is normally an indication that the opposite will happen, it’s also true that the past of most pain is the most likely… so I tend to agree with this hypothesis.
@LayahHeilpern I literally had to make this choice once, down tools, destroyed phones, ans shut it all down cause I felt the heat coming. My associates didn’t believe me and all got busted and prison terms. It hurt like hell and I had no money. I’m out tho and making a living .
@cryptomanran 😂😂😂 I’m getting so many people suddenly asking me again if I still do that ‘crypto’ stuff ? … once my window cleaner, great aunt and barmaid start asking that’s when it’s time to take profits 😂
@ZeroHedge_ Time preference does matter tho. Saylor consistently buys local tops. He’s looking wayyyy further forward. But yeah in general, it’s best to be patient and catch the wave once it’s started instead of trying to catch falling knives.
I'm sitting here, experiencing my own little ups & downs of life, and suddenly remember there's 8 billion other humans like me, now also living through their ups & downs: from horrible lows to beautiful highs. What a wild ride we're all on... And we're on it together. Hang on ❤
@ooloo Fake glory run then end of year profit taking cliff fall incoming. Hedgies and year long bag holders need to lock in profits before holiday season and ETF applicants need lower prices to accumulate. Down we go then, unless WW3, we go moonward ! 🚀
I lost half my bodyfat and learned a new language since I stopped posting. The main benefit is that I was spending like 6-8 hrs per day on Twitter and now I spend about 1-2, so I do more “normal” stuff (read a book, get better at cooking), highly recommend non-posting to all
@LadyofCrypto1 Are the SEC or other aligned people or bodies using this situation to produce ‘evidence’ of the ease of market manipulation in the crypto space to bolster a rejection of an ETF ? I would suggest any global market could be manipulated this way, liquidity provided, and that’s hard.
