| Topic | Are you getting Crypto FOMO? |
| Sad_Face 02/19/21 10:03:01 AM #21 | BlazinBlue88 posted... How long do you think it'll be before Chainlink hits the $100 mark? I wouldn't be surprised if it hit $50 at minimum by alt season this summer. Possibly $100 this time next year? Dude, Chainlink is the internet of blockchains. Half the reason why Ethereum is pumping is thanks to DeFi which is literally powered by Chainlink and this other project Graph Protocol (GRT). I can't recommend GRT because I don't know much about it aside from the fact that it's a query searching tool DeFi teams use but I know Link and I can tell you that this project is more important than the Bitcoin. Every blockchain project that wants to have real world usability built upon the advantages of smart contracts is going to use Chainlink. Chainlink is creating tools to significantly reduce gas fees via offchain reporting, they're creating tools to onboard sensitive data via Mixicles and DECO to allow for more types of data to be used like your flight records or personal identity in the blockchain world without it being viewed by everyone. And of course, there's staking coming hopeful this year where NEETs and grunts like me can finally join the network to be node operators where we uphold Link to vie for jobs and are penalized if we don't do our jobs properly and get paid for proper behavior. Right now, it's just under $34, it's just a x3 to get to $100. I'd be miffed if we're not past $300 by the end of the year thanks to Off chain reporting. And if you (a lurker reading this) are thinking about buying in, there will always be projects in the crypto world where you can invest in with $3000 to make a million in a couple years. With Chainlink, it's still apt to buy in as you can use Link as a stepping stone for capital for other projects (I personally am incapable of doing this due to how emotionally invested I am in the project, but it is possible). And Chainlink, again, is the internet of the blockchains. It will grow as the field is growing. Flipping the BTC is not an impossibility for the project at its full potential. --- |

You always hear it from investors; "hindsight is 20/20" or "aw man I wish I bought in" when the real problem was not having foresight nor the understanding as to WHY a project would be a success. When you actually learn about the project and why it succeeded above others, then you'll have a strong reference on what to look for for other projects. And realize that this is the investment world, and especially in a budding field with the crypto world, there will always be new opportunities to invest in. --- |

I meant more GME shares shorted than GME shares that exist. That was the basis for this rally on GME to short squeeze the stock, not at all a common sight. Right now, I'm seeing reports now saying it's at 78% shorted. And I'm looking around, DFV is still in the game. He some shares for a profit, yes, but the majority of his hold is still in. He hasn't moved on. --- |

| Sad_Face 02/09/21 1:12:04 PM #29 | Sackgurl posted... but most retail investors who bought GME bought above the current price and lost money, and most of them do "care about their money", unlike the WSB originator who made millions by "not caring about his money" (read: selling the penny stock after retail piled in behind him) This is the way to make millions. If you don't have a grander vision beyond "make money", you'll cash out as soon as you see enough zeros and move on, only to live in regret that you could have made more. Or you'll sell off quick at a loss when you see the price fall too low. --- |

| Sad_Face 02/09/21 10:48:41 AM #77 | There's DeFi, specifically yield farming where you lend your crypto out and you receive returns from 20% to 80% and to even over 100% returns. But you need capital for it. $2K isn't going to cut it. And gas fees on Ethereum are exorbitant, they can bounce around from $20 to $50 and up. It's ridiculous. --- |

| Sad_Face 02/04/21 9:15:26 PM #72 | g980 posted... This is true. (Quant) Hedge Funds spend a s*** ton of money on data and ML engineers to extact signals from it Darmik posted... I'd say the biggest difference is the more rich you are the easier it is to make money off the market which leads to other advantages like knowledge and connections. Not everyone can risk 50k on the stock market but some billionaire can put a million into something as unstable as Bitcoin and not blink twice. No doubt when you have wealth, it's far easier to take risks since you have a lot more capital to fall back on. I suppose I should rephrase and say when I meant the rich, I meant the ones who collude and share information with each other. So I suppose a better word instead of information would be connections. When I first found out about Chainlink on 4chan, while a good deal of information came from due diligence and people picking up on breadcrumbs, we had legitimate insiders coming in to talk about how big the project is for the industry and how intentionally mum the team was as it was essentially the "banker's coin"; they had the backing of the SWIFT banking platform on top of support from developers at Microsoft and Google, and a number of major enterprise corporations. The price fluctuated between 30 and 50 cents at the time I got in in 2018, so if you had $50K and bought in at 40 cents, that's 125000 tokens right there, which is worth over $3.125 million right now. Before that, in 2017, its pre-ICO sale price was 9 cents, so you can imagine, even not fully understanding the scope of the project, if you just had information of where the price would be, you'd know where to put your money. This is also why I keep advocating for people to go on 4chan and learn from them. They disseminate information freely among a sea of ****posting. Once you learn how to discern the false information from the truth, you'll have the tools at hand to become wealthy. If you haven't become a millionaire thanks to 4chan in a decade of lurking or browsing there, you're doing something wrong. --- |

| Sad_Face 02/04/21 10:46:25 AM #59 | Pogo_Marimo posted... There isn't an ethical quandary. The risk of a younger person dating an older person is of them being exploited. If you are the older person, then you have control over whether to exploit them or not. You can choose to be a s***ty person or a good person in the relationship. That isn't a quandary, it's just a question of your character. This isn't necessarily due to age but inexperience (they're not mutually exclusive). I had friends who had ample dating experience but still were unprepared for their relationships that ended up flipping their worlds and made life 10000x more difficult. But it is true that the biggest boon of a younger girl is that she's more malleable and willing to learn while someone OP's age has had her ideals forged by years of life experience which would make it very difficult for her to adapt to a different lifestyle. This makes a difference if you're aiming for a grand life goal that involves a good deal of risk. I don't know what OP's ambitions are so these things may or may not matter to him. --- |

They allowed institutional investors to trade while it was shutdown. And they sold people's shares without their permission. WTF are you guys talking about? The media was in on this because they allowed airtime multiple opinions and takes from institutional investors and not a single retail investor was interviewed at the time, they certainly didn't acknowledge how ridiculous it was in the first place that hedgefunds were allowed to short more GME shares than GME shares that exist. And we all saw the brazenly corrupt things Robinhood did. Anyone who is defending Robinhood is either blind as a bat or paid off. --- |

It's not magic. When one institution accumulates enough BTC to have a billion dollar stack (during these prices), that's a big deal. When entities like Grayscale are onboarding crypto to allow people to invest in crypto in their Roth IRA, that's a big deal. This is what adoption looks like. And those rates are consistent. Aave is blowing up as the biggest lender in the De-Fi space, and Chainlink's price is blowing up thanks to so many projects using their tools for security to prevent exploits. We're going back and forth because you don't think any of these things are safe when these projects have been growing over the past year. --- |
| Topic | New ATH for Etherum. Over $1,500 now. |
| Sad_Face 02/03/21 11:18:10 AM #43 | 1337toothbrush posted... Institutional investors always hedge. You think of the US dollar as fragile and dangerous yet crypto is far more volatile on even a good day. The US dollar is more stable and dependable than any cryptocurrency, plus it's backed by a world power. They always hedge, but not in crypto, and definitely not that scale. De-Fi is blowing up because there are consistent ways to make money. When you lend your money to a bank, they pay you a modest sum of 0.01% interest. In crypto, you can find lending pools that pay 5%, 20%, even 70% and if you're ballsy enough, you could go jump into ones that pay 1000% (those are short lived and inconsistent). The De-Fi world is challenging people reassess banks and their purpose of storing their wealth. And I am aware there's rigging in crypto, the BTC conveniently crashes when Chainlink is about to hit a milestone price point or ATH without fail for over 2 years. But is that enough to scare me away from seeing the gamebreaking potential in smart contracts and waste a once in a lifetime opportunity to witness this change the world and become a billionaire in the process? Heck no. --- |

| Sad_Face 02/03/21 10:20:47 AM #30 | 1337toothbrush posted... The reserves could be transparent but they aren't. Whatever you think of the technology of blockchain itself, the prices of bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrencies are based almost entirely on speculation and scams like tether pumping the prices up. For example, they buy bitcoin with tether and so the price of bitcoin goes up, then they turn around and print tether because their holdings increased in value. The feedback loop here is obvious. This is not true. You don't have institutional investors buying 10K BTC at well over $15K-$20K per token. Ethereum didn't fall down to $88 to break its all time high due to Tether manipulation. We have new players coming into the field because people are recognizing how fragile and dangerous the US dollar is and are fleeing to the bitcoin as a hedge instead of gold. And the De-Fi boom is blowing up. In fact, the Gamestop showdown made a powerful case in displaying how blatantly rigged the stock market (which you can still make money in btw) while virtually ALL the corrupt moves going that went on (selling shares without people's consent, halting trade for retail investors but not institutional investors, shorting more shares than shares that exist of a company) are impossible to do in De-Fi by the nature of how the system was developed. You keep laserfocusing on the prices being purely manipulated. That's totally wrong and more importantly, you're denying yourself to take part in the next revolution that will impact the world several times over like the internet. --- |

It means tether is a scam and these cryptocurrencies are inflating because of the scam printing more tether than is actually backed by assets.Tether is the biggest stablecoin that people exchange directly with their fiat currency. People don't buy BTC or ETH directly. They buy a stablecoin to transfer it to an exchange to buy whatever token or coin they want. If Tether goes kaput, there are a number of other stablecoins to take its place like USDC. This is a dumb argument that distracts from all the things the crypto world accomplishes. --- |

On investment boards and other degenerate sites; we have legitimate insiders including government officials and other well connected individuals in those communities while at the same time hosting a bunch of people who like to feed false information for funsies.

I am confident it will still provide a good return, I'm not hopping for GMEs here The dollar is considerably weaker than it was ~40 years ago, and silver is used far more than ever before thanks to the medical industry and electronics industry while being shorted beyond imaginable. The government suspending silver trading won't stop it from blowing up in price. It's fine.  And the point is to hold GME shares (even one is fine) to prevent hedgefunds from having liquidity to close out on their shorts. They shorted more GME shares than GME shares that exist. That means they're subject to whatever the hodlers dictate the price is. Else bankruptcy. With silver, you're buying up what's available to prevent banks from closing out their short positions. Their shorts positions are magnitudes larger than the Gamestop situation. You're missing the forest for the trees if you're looking for quick gains. This is way bigger than your portfolio, this is a war on Wallstreet and the banking system which will ultimately lead to their uproot and replacement with the rising decentralized finance system. --- |

They diverted attention away from OWS by propping another movement and getting the media to laser focus the spotlight on it and give it corporate backing. I'd also argue OWS helped spread awareness so when an opportunity comes around that allows people to launch an attack on Wallstreet, they'll be ready, as evident by the number of folks who recognize the opportunity in buying Gamestop shares even at the top. --- |
