That is why many are switching to Bit Coin.

Amen. I still can't talk about Bitcoin.

I got the tip at $8.

My buddy bought a house, I "didn't have enough to invest at the time". Fml.

If I would've put $10k in I'd be starting my new credit card / payment processor / GoFundMe competitor and turning the tables on these MFers.

I'd make them pay through the nose for pulling this shit. If you want to rustle their jimmies effectively you've got to hit them in the pocketbook. That is the only thing these people fear.

The tip was from a guy I NEVER get tips from but is a computer savant.

I should've listened!!!

Im so butthurt about bitcoin. I first heard about it at $20 and was like “man wish i could buy bitcoin!” Then i heard about it again at $80 “man i wish i bought bitcoin” then again at $200 “man i wish i bought bitcoin” and so on and so forth...and i never pulled the trigger!

And now it just seems absolutely ludicrous to consider buying it, but thats what i thought every other time and i was proven an idiot.

I couldn't agree with you more. I am completely butthurt about it too. No one to blame but myself and pissed at past-me once again.

Just buy like 100,000 satoshi (like $15 worth) and see how it feels.

Man, this stuff just confuses the hell out of me. I don’t understand it enough to put serious dough on it.

I’ve tried reading, it makes sense in terms of mining, but without setting up mining rigs etc how the eff do you make money off this stuff?

You don't. Even if you think you do, you don't. Feel free to use it as you would any currency, but making money off it? That ship sailed.

And here's how you know. Are you familiar with these groups called "cartels,"? Are they known for not liking money, or not wanting to launder the money they already made? Well, since they aren't running massive mining farms, then it's a safe bet you shouldn't be either.

Interesting take on it. Kind of figured the ship has sailed, at this point they're like any other stock except way riskier and volatile.

Didnt even consider that aspect. Blockchain itself seems like good technology, but its use as a currency anyone can barter with seems far fetched.

eth is shitcoin. They are trying prop up the value using a bunch of defi stupidity. There's a bunch of frontrunning by bots, and It's funny how a bunch of people are already losing money.

I know how eth works. The fact you think you can build 'whatever you want' means you don't even know the limitations or capabilities of solidity and the evm. Enjoy your DAO 2.0
