This pleases me too. Their video says it is possible to buy as little as $1 of bitcoin. I told my wife: just buy bitcoin when you get those $35 payments for sewing stuff.

I read a blurb in the paper this morning that the beginning will be limited to buying, selling, and storing crypto. Eventually it will be possible to exchange crypto between users, but they didn't give a timeline.

You've had a great perspective and leading adopter. How do you see this shaking out with so many coins?

Webull now gives you the ability to buy doge. I still haven't, since I'm putting it into bitcoin, but maybe down the road I might buy some since it's on a broker I use.

Can't buy anything with ethereum and the like so it's not a digital currency, which is the goal.

Traders are battling it out big time. If bears win I see 45K.

I think there is a very good chance we see bitcoin dip back into the upper 20s or low 30s again. And I dont even care.

I'm close to cashing. Long run that needs to be realized. However:

Thanks for the heads-up, I had no idea. Unfortunately it wont let me buy any crypto for some reason. I signed up for it a while back and it gives me all the trading options but it says I have zero settled cash to spend. It's wrong, I have over $700 in settled so I dont know what the hell is going on.

90% of coins/tokens are complete dogshit. People have to not be lazy and do their own research to find the viable projects with staying power. We are entering the dot com bubble and all I see are pets.com

Are you trying to be me. Do I need a restraining order? LOL

Check out stablecoin DAI on Ethereum. Its the Maker video in the OP

Apologize for the doucheness

Way too many crapcoins getting promoted right now. Never a good sign. Big correction likely coming

It's ****ing with the S2F model.

That's gotta be BS....I hope. 80% is totally asinine economic authoritarianism. They can't just do that, especially considering how they've been taxing it in the past.

These people are all sick.

Can’t wait for the next revolution

doesn't matter, humanity is doomed to fail. Too many useful idiots.

It is bullshit and it's cratering bitcoin.

Along with this week we've had, Biden tax fud, China blackout fud, Turkey fud, Pi cycle fud...

I'm as anti-democrat as the next guy when it comes to the stock market at least but this has to be FUD to drive crypto down.

"FOX News Business Contributor"...yeah.

Hard to believe that one tweet would contribute much. There are definitely other things going on here. Things we probably don't know about.

I listed a number of root causes.

I'll add institutions forcing price down to get a better price entry. It's what JP Morgan is doing. And the ever present whales.

And, as you surely know, $1.5B in options expire tomorrow.

Bullsbwill be back after that. S2F dictates it

Below $50 closer to $49. How low will it go?

Bloodbath

Eth going back up.

Btc dropped below 48k briefly so I scooped some more up. Its kinda starting to worry me though...hope it gets back into the $60's soon.

Why soon?

Oh im not a trader so I dont care but I fully expect it to dip into the upper 20s again. The history of bitcoin pumps will tell us this will also likely happen.

Exactly. The thing that pays off investing in crypto is patience.

If you believe this then I assume you sold it all then.

Because I want to sell it all for a nice profit and put it into Ethereum.

I haven't sold virtually any since I started acquiring in 2014. Too lazy and I dont trade or use exchanges. Ill either hold onto the bag and be broke or have 10M.

Just six months ago it was like 10k. Its not going to hold at 60k for any long period of time. Especially with the threats of doubling LTCGs. The history of bitcoin we see huge spikes then huge downturns and it stabilizes at a higher rate.

If you expect it to go into the 20s why wouldn't you sell some now? Even if you're into holding, that would give you the opportunity to buy back even more if it goes down like you expect.

Because I dont want to deal with it. Ive never bought bitcoin in my entire life. I have so many different wallets. Just a pain in the ass. You are probably right though, especially with LTCG likely to go up, I should cash out now but I can not begin to tell you how lazy I am. And part of it is just the principal. Im not cashing out until Im ready to permanently lay on my ass and golf all the time.

Does anyone actually use bitcoin as a currency?

It’s how your wife pays me after I dick her down

Yes.

Portnoy no question.

You make purchases with it?

I do, yes. A lot of online retailers actually offer a discount if you use crypto. I prefer to use it when dealing with overseas/sketchy sites. I prefer to not give them my bank info or cc number. It's also widely used in transactions that may be frowned upon by U.S. law enforcement.

Yes, but that is not it's main appeal. Fees are simply to high for it to be a viable replacement currency under the current format. That doesn't stop people from using it though. Apparently the Lightning network was going to do something about that, but I haven't followed up on reading up on it.

Overstock used to use it at least 3.5 years ago, they maybe still do. CheapAir.com I know uses bitcoin. It would be nice someday you can go to Target, buy stuff, then the register gives you an option to pay with bitcoin. Now that would be the day.

I about bought solar panels for my house a few years ago with Bitcoin. I asked if they would accept it as payment, they talked to their owner and said they would. I ended up deciding not to because I probably won't stay in the house long enough.

Weak hands shook out while the rocket ship was fueling. Here we ****ing go boys.

Tesla stress tested bitcoin. Did it pass,

?

"Yes'

Bitcoin jumps 500.

A friend is telling me to buy safemoon because its stupid cheap and can only really grow. Anyone in on it?

I'm not but it has been doing very well. You should also check out Amp, Pancake Swap, and Solana.

I remember when I first dabbled with alts toward peak time. Put 1 BTC into Binance (which was around 20K USD) at the time. Withdrew it a year later for like $700 dollars. Never again.

This tweet spiked Dogecoin 40 points. Then down. The skit should do better and flags indicate a breakout to $.57 regardless. I bought 142,540 today.

Thought you hated altcoins because they hold bitcoin back

This can't be ignored. BTC is bleeding off as conversions to Doge. I'll store it back in BTC. A tip from you. I liquidated BTC and bought way more.

Yeah I can’t stand him.

:spock:

I almost bought some Doge earlier in the week when it was around .26-.27. Wish I would have but buying crypto kind of sucks on Webull and that's the only platform I have that supports it. I wish Coinbase would get on-board, they have damn near everything else.

I’m in Safemoon It’s so cheap and so new I bought quite a few just to roll the dice.

Might Help Some of You
 

This might help some of you.

PoW = Proof of Work - Uses expensive hardware and lots of energy to "mine" crypto. It's a bunch of computers trying to guess an extremely complicated string of characters. The first one to guess wins the prize of mining that block and receiving the reward.

PoS = Proof of Stake - Instead of the most powerful computers winning the reward, this is more like putting your name in a random drawing. However, the more crypto you have, the more times your name is placed in the hat. When your name is drawn, your computer gets to min the block and win the reward. So it doesn't require such crazy computing power to guess and solves the energy problem.

Bitcoin - First mover and most popular. PoW crypto that introduced using blockchain for this type of use case. Yes, people use it as a currency, but most are holding it as a store of value, and may swap into a different crypto if they're actually going to use it to pay for something. A cap of 21M bitcoin will ever be created, making it a scarce asset.

Litecoin - A copy of Bitcoin that uses the lightning network. It's basically a more efficient, cheaper, much faster version of Bitcoin. Often called the Silver to Bitcoin's Gold. You may find more people using this for actual transactions because it's cheap and fast.

Ethereum - Currently PoW, so has the same drawbacks as other PoW cryptos, but they are currently in the process of moving to PoS. Ethereum is more like Amazon Web Services than it is a currency. It allows you to build software and launch decentralized applications (dapps). This has turned into decentralized finance (defi), which is a very real thing, and it's going no where. Ethereum has problems with scalability, and its fees are very high right now, so it's difficult for people to use these dapps and defi systems unless you're dealing with a lot of money so the fee percentages are small. They are moving to PoS to (hopefully) solve this problem.

Cardano - Created by one of the original founders of Ethereum. Originally designed as PoS and is presented as a "3rd generation" blockchain technology that solves all of the problems of Bitcoin and Ethereum and other PoW blockchains. It will also include the ability to launch dapps/defi with tiny fees compared to Ethereum. It's the most decentralized blockchain available right now, and they just made deals with African governments to build out a national ID and attainment to help verify grades, distribute degrees, etc. all on a blockchain. They are also working on defi apps to bring finance to these unbanked areas of the world, and use it as a prototype for other countries.

Binance - A marketplace for trading crypto, but also has their own blockchain - Binance Smart Chain. They made a way for Ethereum dapps to run on the Binance Smart Chain, and solved the fees problem, so you use these apps on this blockchain a lot more easily than you can Ethereum right now. This is great, but they are a very centralized organization, which would go against what some would say is the overall goal of this whole space...decetralization.

Dogecoin - Created as a joke. It mints billions of coins that will never end, and is designed as an insanely inflationary currency to be funny. If you are riding the wave that's awesome. As a blockchain/currency, it really does not have any use, and the other blockchains are where all of the "real stuff" will be happening.

Polkadot - Created by another one of the original Ethereum founders. Also designed as PoS and aims to make a better platform for developers to build dapps/defi projects on. Much cheaper, and they beat Cardano to the punch by launching their smart contracts (ability to deploy dapps) more quickly than Cardano did.

Uniswap / Pancake Swap - These are decentralized exchanges. Most of you probably use Coinbase, Binance, Crypto.com or some other centralized exchange to purcahse your crypto. Decentralized exchanges do not have this. Instead, holders of crypto can provide liquidation to these exchanges and earn the fees that the centralized exchanges / market makers are earning now. There is just as much volume happening on these exchanges (if not more now) as the centralized exchanges.

Cosmos - With all these crypto currencies, who's going to win? Some would say nobody. They are all going to exist alongside each other. To that end, Cosmos aims to be "the internet of blockchains", connecting all the different networks together so they can communicate with each other.

There are many others, of course, some striving to solve some problem, and others to pump and dump and have fun.

Open DAO is an interesting one that is building a defi network for real world assets. Real estate, vehicles, assets of all kinds are tokenized to prove ownership on the blockchain. These assets can be leveraged to borrow cash out of the defi liquidation, and that interest gets paid back to the people providing the liquidation, of course.

Then you have things like LonelyFans. They are working with OnlyFans to models to provide free membership to LOF token holders, and are aiming to turn it into a NFT-type currency system for the models and their subscribers. When you send a "kiss" or a "heart" to a model, that is your tip. Those emojis could be sold on the exchanges for fiat currency if wanted, or traded directly. Celeb level models that once owned a particular emoji would give that emoji more value. It has prominence, proved by the blockchain.

ALL SORTS OF STUFF GOING ON IN THIS SPACE!!!

Ethereum really close to passing $3k. It has nearly quadrupled so far this year, and has double-gained bitcoin.

Ethereum Classic has been blowing up lately. Not sure why, but I got in at the right time. I trust all things Ethereum at the moment.

Currently have 3,500 Doge which is nothing compared to some, but I think Doge has a legitimate chance of being something here. It's being backed by the right people.

If I was a new investor and wanted to throw a little money at something, Doge would be it. It actually does have a potential future here.

Doge is the only coin to have this week. Through Saturday night. Use the same analysis you use for bitcoin but with a wider volatility range.

Doge is the only coin you should own this week.

I agree. When would you sell? And personally, I wouldn't sell all of it. But I'd sell 25% of my Doge around .60

Thoughts?

Robinhood offers it. Easy app and sign-up. Get funds in there ASAP.

You do realize that ETC has absolutely nothing to do with ETH and is essentially a dead fork at this point, right?

And who are the “right people” backing doge? Elon? Lol

Listen to this guy, he's Jewish.

If we believe in it guys, it'll become real! Just like Santa!!! Come on now, everyone keep talking about it!

I hope Elon does a skit shitting on enviro people and then cleverly pointing out ways that they harm the environment way more and how they are hypocrites.

My generation will take 17 airplanes, 2 boats and 4 SUVs to get 5 passport stamps and 7 instagram photos and then be like Wow bitcoin is destroying the planet.

Please elaborate. What utility does it have? Who are these "right people" you're talking about?

Elon likes it because it's a joke and it's funny. Who else are you referring to?

Don’t use Robinhood or Paypal or any other centralized, stove pipe account. Definitely dont **** with doge or safe moon, there are less grains of sand at the beach.

A lot of bad advice going on in here lately.

Oh I didn't buy Safemoon because I think it's a safe investment....I just like to keep a couple potential moonshot positions. Helps me get up in the morning when I know I have a "shot". I would certainly not recommend it to anyone that hasn't traded crypto before though.

If I had to bet the farm on anything now it would be ETH. I also think VET has a good practical use as well, but it has a ways to go.

As long as you can jump the rug pull. Good luck!!

That's the plan! I know I'm playing with fire LOL!

I bought $500 worth of Doge today, finally got it to go through on Webull. Will be dumping it before Sunday though.

I got etheium 2.0 so that pretty good with my bitcoins

Say what now?

RH was a suggestion and Doge is great advise.

Already up $68. I'm not brave enough to hold it long term but until SNL, sure!

Stop loss @ $1 for sure. Set it and walk away.
