They can manipulate silver and gold. They've been doing it for almost a full century

They can't manipulate Bitcoin.

Bitcoin must be in your possession

no keys, no cheese

Same for PMs

If you don't (literally) hold it, you don't own it

Yeah but they manipulate it by shorting the paper silver. Buy long in paper silver and they can't cover their shorts.

Citadel is the 5th largest owner of silver.

They're tricking you into supporting their GME losses.

All I know is that silver has been manipulated low since I started reading zerohedge (maybe 6 years). If the market needs to cheat to make silver low then I probably want it high. I don't hate citadel, I hate the whole market.

I think they are trying to short Bitcoin actually. It's been stalled out for the last month.

Yeah, after quadrupling to an ATH 2x the previous one, it had to cool off.

True. That was really incredible, started thinking that was just the norm. Why shouldn't it be the norm though? This whole Robinhood/GME thing is just another advertisment for it.

Bitcoin just manipulates itself and constantly fluxuates between 5 million and 25 million over and over again, haha.

What happens to bitcoin when the lights go out?

Where? The entire planet? Maybe with a solar flare but if it’s that strong we’re all dead anyway as every structure that is metal or has metallic wiring will burn to the ground.

Hard drives don't become empty just because the electricity is off.

And it's not like most of our money isn't already digital.

It's worth fuck all lol. I'm more into Jeff Cooper's idea for ballistic wampum. I understand precious metals will always have value as long as there is civilization, but a .22lr round is much more convenient when the goal is food

Bitcoin has been socially compromised. ETH, DOT and BCH are better from my perspective.

You have no proof for that claim.

You sound like all the democrats and mainstream media claiming there was no evidence of election fraud.

Why do you still spread this misinformation after definitively having been proven wrong?

BCH is a tiny fraction of BTC - it has a tiny fraction of mining power and adoption. Nobody is buying it with their cash reserves. It's over.

ETH fees are very high.

DOT is a shitcoin.

Regarding the one argument anyone had against BTC, high fees, they are less than ETH for on chain and the "vaporware" Lightning Network has made amazing strides since 2017. I use it multiple times on a weekly basis and the fees are 0 to 1 Satoshis per tx.

Please just convert what's left of your bags and stop passing the virus on to others. You're not helping them and you know it.

^^^ Fair warning folks, this guy is not your friend. ^^^

@jimmajamma: I've spent way too much time bothering with your ilk over the years. Lightning is still bullshit now just like it was the day the compromised crew started pushing it. The fact that you're a BTC-only cultist should serve as a red flag to observers. Go back to Reddit where you'll find your whining has company.

Touched a nerve?

You've got no argument to present. All anyone has to do is look at the BTC vs. BCH charts for price, hashrate and total work. For BCash they are ALL under 1.5% of BTC. It's over.

As I mentioned, I use lightning regularly. I have also written code to integrate it. It's anything but bullshit but the fact that you still use that same tired narrative is telling.

The only thing holding BTC back is that it's slow as fuck.

10 years from now, the whole landscape of money as we know it could look unrecognizable
