Congrats to all the hodlrs!!!
Gold closed the day, week, month, quarter at an all time of $2251 on 3/29/24 and closed the 1st week of April at a new ATH of $2330. Now at a new high of $2375 With BTC up near ATHs as well it appears that people are waking up to what a mess our betters have put us in. Good luck to all the smart people who saw the damage being done to our fiat system of currency and chose an alternative. Let's all hope that this good fortune doesn't come at too great a cost. $72k 3/11/24 $70,199 3/8/24 $69,324 3/5/24 68.49 Nov 9 66.99 Oct 20 64.8 Apr 14 63.2k Apr 13 61.7k Mar 13 58.3k Jan 21 57.4k Jan 20z 56.3k Feb 19 52.6k Feb 18 51.7k Feb 17 50k Feb 16 49.7k Feb 14 48.9k Feb 11 47.4k Feb 8 44.9k Feb 8 43.8k Feb 8 41.6k Jan 8 40.4k Jan 7 36.8 jan 6 34.1k 32.8k Jan 2 31.2k Jan 2nd 2021 Update: Blackrock, the worlds largest asset manager that manages $7 + TRILLION says they are “dabbling” in bitcoin. I don’t know how big a dabble is but a dabble of 7 trillion has got to be a lot. Update: Elon Musk just tweeted that Tesla will buy $1.5B of bitcoin and begin accepting bitcoin as payment for Tesla cars. Bitcoin soars. Update: BTC is up 6k in the last week of 2020 first days of 2021. Update: Bitcoin reaches new ATH over 24k Dec 19 2020. Up 5k in the last week and 8k in the last month. From 11,400 to 17,900 in the last month. ATH few years ago was about 20k. I wonder whatever happened to the board member here who cashed out 21,000 bitcoins when it hit a thousand bucks. It’d be worth nearly 400 million now. Yoiks! link to live crypto prices |

Saylor basically said he expects a lot of money to come in from worse assets like all the vacant commercial real estate etc. When people realize it's digital/mobile wealth storage without any physical or financial liabilities, it will become the more prominent store of wealth. I think this will happen because if people don't realize this, they're losing a Lot of money. |

I remember them loading up their bags to their "make it" limits back when it was below $4, and it's at $20 now, but every time it moves up, they whine that Sergei is dumping more of his bags. Isn't that what shitcoiners want, to dump their bags on everyone else so they make it (and the bagholders don't)? View Quote You’re not wrong. Chainlink is l2 paw will be l1 l2 and l3. The hope is it will just do it faster and cheaper. I don’t care who makes money with me it I just want to buy a house and a boat and other shitcoiners can join me or ride the cycle back to 0. |

Does anyone know if Lamborghini has a customer pickup option where you can go to the factory for a tour and take delivery of your new cars?

Personally, I favor Luke Dashjr's recommendation that NFTs be required to pay for their total data usage. Apparently they only have to pay for the transaction data at present, which is why they're able to afford to run their NFT scams on Bitcoin. IMHO they can keep that garbage on Ethereum where it belongs. |

View Quote I bought like 10 SOL worth of WIF last year but got spooked and sold for barely any profit. A few weeks later I bought $100 worth again just for the culture. That hundred bucks is almost $1800 now and the Solana degens are about to put the dog on the Las Vegas Sphere lol. Go check page 432 where I mentioned PEPE. I made a few ETH on that trade but would have a few hundred if I had simply held I hated meme coins last cycle. Not making that mistake again. Most asymmetric upside any of us plebs will ever stumble upon. Still like 90% in the majors but going to keep playing memes for extra beta. |

Couple more questions.
What the hell is up with Paypal? Bought t some BTC, sent it to my wallet. Bought some more, did it again. No problem. Bought a bigger amount and tried to send it to an address I made on my ledger for my kid and "oops, there's a problem". Been a week of that crap? CS is no help, "wait 24 hrs and try again". Gre thanks. Ok that was more of a rant, now the question Is it a taxable event for either myself or someone else when I sent BTC to them that I purchased? I want to seed by for my kids. |

I wouldn't punt more than 1% of my crypto portfolio on a random shitter. Maybe 10% if I had some actual conviction. That said, if I had balls of steel and zero risk management I could have already made multiple millions this cycle. |

BTC Data Market Cap: $1.45 Trillion. About a 15 % increase from November 10, 2021 24 Hour Volume: $63.46 Billion. About a 24% increase from November 10, 2021 Interesting! |

Anyone had experience withdrawing cash (to your bank card) from Coinbase? Easy/Convenient?
I'm considering taking some profit from the DOGE jump (I've got a decent amount of DOGE left over from the '21 wildness) before it inevitably plummets. |
|

I’m glad I reverse mortgaged my home and went balls deep on the bitcoins.

|
|
Another day, another ATH as BTC traded briefly right around 73.8.
Lots of selling pressure at that level, but buyers are swooping in to take up the slack. It's still above a short term rising trend and will likely break up or down by Friday. |

SOL made a nice move above the 150 mark in the last day or so as well, sitting a little above $170.

Looks like a Paypal issue, because otherwise nothing would prevent the transfer to the wallet. |

UK Judge: Craig Wright Lied, Is Not Satoshi
Craig Wright is not Satoshi Nakamoto or the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper, U.K. Judge James Mellor said after closing arguments in the Crypto Open Patent Alliance trial on Thursday. After finding that the evidence was "overwhelming," the judge said he plans to write a ruling that Wright is not Nakamoto, is not the creator of Bitcoin, the author of the Bitcoin whitepaper nor the creator of Bitcoin's technology.

Also this:
Gold Advocate Peter Schiff Finally Admits to Regretting Not Buying Bitcoin in 2010 "Do I wish I had made the decision to have thrown $10,000, $50,000, $100,000 into it?" Schiff pondered aloud during the podcast. "Sure. I may be worth hundreds of millions assuming I didn't sell. But again, I don't know what I would have done had I made that decision." If he is willing to say that publicly, imagine how he feels on the inside. His reputation is dependent on staying on the wrong side. |

I consider it another means go park wealth or make money. I do not think it will ever be used as a mainstream currency or anything like that in our lifetime. People should absolutely take profits once in awhile to avoid being bag holders, it's only a matter of when if the past is any indication. I must be wrong though...please elaborate and enlighten me. I am all ears. "I have enough stuff"...well the average person doesnt....not that I would consider guns, food & a house "stuff" as they are essential. Your serving size of one is not reality. Also, you're "think bigger" is feel good bullshit & copied right from reddit memes. You are up right now, you are in whats called a euphoria phase. You cannot lose & consider yourself a genuis....this is dangerous thinking. You guys pop up every time there's a rally. I would bet anything it was nothing but crickets from you when it was 30k not long ago. Keep diversifying. You don't know shit. None of us do. I swear dude...you're the type of person that turns people off from it. |
