I don't want to ruin your day. Can you imagine going to a car dealer to buy a car. They do accept bitcoin. You tell then that you will do the transaction tomorrow. You wake up to find bit coin is now at 58K. While you was sleeping all the banks and etf's dumped it as they dibbled there money and called it a day.
I'm starting to wonder who else could do that? While everywhere they say nobody has money but the top 20%.
I had bitcoin years ago, to stressful . I left a fraction out there. wonder how it's doing not checked my coin base account.
I think they want it to go to 150K and bam...dump it all.
You will never hear about this from the Bitcoin pumpers Why not?
In 2024, funds stolen increased by approximately 21.07% year-over-year (YoY) to $2.2 billion, and the number of individual hacking incidents increased from 282 in 2023 to 303 in 2024. Interestingly, the intensity of crypto hacking shifted about halfway through the year.
Its not about pumping BooBoo. Even holding dollars, Euros, etc., accounts can be hacked. I see Bitcoin only as a means to an end, like the out of touch with reality stock market, or anything else. There is always risk. There is risk walking across the street.
It took #Bitcoin four years to reach a $5 billion market cap. $TRUMP coin did it in one day. Let's create a strategic reserve, then require all IRAs to have a 10% allocation to qualify and impose 100% tariffs on nations that fail to allocate 10% of their forex reserves to $TRUMP.
BooBoo, Good question! How everyone has forgotten about the billions of dollars that Sam Bankman-Fried, still in jail, absconded with. The Bitcoin blockchain is supposedly decentralized and so secure and private until someone like Sam takes it. A number other thieves that haven't been caught have done the same thing as Sammy boy! But no body wants to talk about it to give caution. Also, suspicious, is that I now can't log into by computer or open my smart phone without some AD in my face about the greatness of BITCOIN. The advertising and promotion is ubiquitous to a point of utter nausea. Big, QUESTION here, who is in charge of all these promotions and who's making money with them? I thought the blockchain idea was independent, decentralized and not under control of any central entity. Not really, only in theory! There are various groups and "elephants" that have formed bitcoin investment cells that have enormous control not only of the price activity but also of the promotion and advertising in all forms of media channels. Yes, Bitcoin, can make some people money, for sure. But, don't forget that in the process of a ride on the blockchain most will probably lose money. It is the "greater fool" game where there is always someone more foolish to buy something on the premise that another fool will buy at a higher price "ad infinitum". This is why I'm surprised that even highly respected money economists such as the brilliant Lyn Alden has bought into this scheme. Money buys everything I guess. Bitcoin is today's digital Dutch Tulip bubble. Eventually, it will pop and the cyber coin will cease to exist.
so really you are saying it really speculation then. But really to me it's a ponzi. The dollar also has speculation to, But it's only a few cents a day.
I have some silver and dumped 80lbs of scrap copper when it was at 4.45..and wow Bronze was cash cow

Oh and that car? wait a few months at will be 50% off. Welcome to the CEO greed machine.
You were ripped off buying a car in the last 3 years.
Wave to a new model year of what you drive at 50% off and you still owe that much to the banks still .
A trade in would be a 100% loss. The way they like it

Never sell your BTC. Use it as collateral to borrow fiat against it. Do not borrow more than 30-50% of your collateral to guard against BTC price volatility and potential liquidation of your collateral. By not selling your BTC you won't be liable for any tax should you have made a profit. Use decentralized exchanges with no KYC required.
Despite Warren Buffett's skepticism towards Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, his investment conglomerate, Berkshire Hathaway, is benefiting from its investment in Nu Holdings, a Brazilian fintech company that launched a cryptocurrency trading platform, Nucripto, in 2022. Berkshire Hathaway's initial investment of $500 million in 2021, followed by an additional $250 million, has seen significant returns, with Nu Holdings' stock prices surging nearly 50% in 2024 alone. This indicates a nuanced approach to the crypto market by Buffett, recognizing its potential profitability despite his personal critical views on cryptocurrencies.
Even if someone offered him all the Bitcoin in the world for $25, Buffett said, he wouldn't take it. "Because what would I do with it?" he asked. "I'll have to sell it back to you one way or another. It isn't going to do anything."Feb 23, 2024
The Satanic Elites took over BitCoin in 2017.. what a surprice is the whole Crypto Market was a Psy-Op to get the goys/non-jews to accept even more tracking, tracing and financial slavery.. just saying. They are really smart..
100% a honey pot for the people…whilst the people buy digital air, they’re buying real assets….when there’s enough people in bitcoin, they’ll tank the price….
Sure, you can make money, but you better time your exit perfectly….
Bitcoin is being introduced by Trump as a payoff to Larry Fink. Bitcoin is also in the background to be used to pay off our national debt. The is going to be monetized by Palantier (Peter Thiel) to move us into a surveillance state. Bitcoin is a resurrection of TIA (TOTAL INFORMATIO AWAREWARENESS) ; a program originally designed by John Poindexter.
The whole scheme is a partnership with the military, Wall Street, and Silicon Valley etc.. it's not going to stop.
The CIA has a venture firm called In-Q-Tel, and Congress cannot stop it. It's called exhortation and Congressional members are over the barrel. The CIA and FED are pushing all of this shit. Wake up.
Greg, I hope you read this. Take care and stay safe, jrunner
What if banks FORCE you to convert your crypto to CBDC because you are not allowed to purchase with crypto, but you can convert it to CBDC for a 3% fee then tax you on the profits? Tax form 1040 already asks if you own any cryptocurrency .
Not everyone is Christian. I believe that most people would consider themselves spiritual more or less. HUGE difference as you are well aware between a religion and being spiritual.
You talk about PUSH BACK, that 'we' the people are getting this corruption because we don't PUSH BACK. I disagree, pushing back on Washington, is like 'Pushing back' on the Mafia. it will get you no where or... it will get you DEAD.
The Federal gov is LOST, the DEEP STATE is in control.. they don't give a rats Arse what we think or do. so PUSHING BACK is a complete waste of time.
I haven't called MY Federal Senators or Reps for years (to push back) . Why, because they are all part of the cabal and could care lees what my opinions are.
we can only be 'slightly effective' at the local level (city government, etc) (because most of them are corrupt too) .
so I disagree with your "PUSH BACK' argument. THEY are going to do, what they are going to do, regardless of what we think or want.
Ah? Do you really think they are going to follow the rules. They don't do rules. they say they do , but don't. That's why we have to bail out the system in the first place.
IF THE US BITCOIN STRATEGIC RESERVE IS GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT BY TRUMP THEN THE FED, BLACKROCK & TETHER CAN INDEPENDENTLY PUMP AND DUMP THE BITCOIN MARKET TO THE POINT IT CRASHES THE US ECONOMY & LEAVES THE US TAX PAYER BAILING OUT TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF BITCOIN STRATEGIC RESERVE LOSSES
THE SCAM GOES AS FOLLOWS
THE FED SECRETLY FEEDS TRILLIONS INTO BLACKROCK TO BUY BITCOIN AT EVER INCREASING PRICES
BLACKROCK BUY BITCOIN FROM TETHER AT MORE & MORE INFLATED PRICES
TETHER BUYS US TOXIC TREASURIES AT ABNORMALLY LOW YIELDS COMPARED TO INTERNATIONAL BOND PRICES
THE TREASURY CONTROLS BOND PRICES USING THE TETHER CASH TO HIDE THE HIGH RISK INFLATION BEING CREATED BY THE GROWTH IN BITCOIN PRICES.
BECAUSE THIS INFLATION IS BEING CONTAINED WITHIN THE CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM ABOVE IT DOES NOT IMPACT RETAIL INFLATION SO PEOPLE DO NOT NOTICE IT UNTIL THE BITCOIN MKT CRASHES, THE ELITES RUN OFF WITH HUGE INCREASE IN WEALTH BECAUSE THEY SOLD BEFORE THE CRASH (TO THE STRATEGIC RESERVE) AND THE DEBT HAS TO BE BAILED OUT BY THE US TAX PAYER WHO IS LEFT WITH WORTHLESS MILLION DOLLAR BITCOIN MAGIC BEANS

It is risky, absolutely. But you do not invest because an asset/any asset is without risk.

My bank account has never ever been hacked I am 68 years young.
Government has access to your bank accounts with the full co-operation of your bank.
Maybe you just don't understand the term hacking as it applies to reality.. kinda like 68 is young.
Yes I understand the difference from hacking to reality but you don't.
$2.2 billion dollars of Bitcoin was stolen hacked from your average Joe, but zero dollars from my Bank account has never been hacked or stolen.
And this will be my last response to you cuz you have no money and you are????

If I lost my bank card I can get it replaced the same day and my money is all there....Hmmmmm
You can not have money and be that stupid.

Who are you going to believe in more!
Donald Trump or Warren Buffett???
I trust ZERO billionaires.
Neither.
And nobody cares what you say cuz you are on welfare...
Lol...trigger much?
Warren Buffett did not invest in the Dot Com Bubble cuz he said he did not understand it, and not long after that the Dot- com Bubble crashed.
Warren Buffet has not bought any Bitcoin cuz he said that he can't buy anything with Bitcoin....Hmmmm????

Trump is a POS. You think the 2008 crisis was bad. Wait until these banks take the shackles off this go round. People are morons.
... would-be Silver buyers supposedly keep Silver prices suppressed because they're buying Bitcoin? Good one.
I bought xrp last year @ .38 i am very happy

I think that ad well Dusty!
A Cryptocurrency Executive Order is a Bitcoin Executive Order ? We know that Trump doesn’t know the difference but we do.
This is all an illusion ! Faux action, meaningless.
It's demonic
Bankster Trump's edicts are no reason to worship Satan's Bitcoin
Hey is that a burl wood Les Paul style guitar in your picture?
Yes. It's a Korean Schecter.
The damn thing feels great and simply rocks. I gig it with a Boss Katana. Got a 79 Gibson custom along with other rock sticks. Fun stuff

Not a Christian. I think there is a God or Gods but , they have not revealed themselves to me yet.
