 But it’s on sale for $399! 😂

Controversy aside I don’t get the appeal. I don’t need more clutter in my house, and I don’t need work people knowing I’m a bitcoiner by displaying the clock in the background of video calls. 
 It feels so good to fuck the system 🥰 
 Timely post. I just got a notification from my bank (eek) that global money transfers will be unavailable for part of the weekend?

When was the last time Bitcoin was down for maintenance? 
 Well, the stocks markets are closed. It’s time to pump Bitcoin so the suits come to work Monday morning to another 10-15% pump!! 
 Bitcoin: 🚀
ETH: 💨

 “The coin that will become more popular than bitcoin by market cap” — Some people, circa 2021.

But it’s interesting to see how things play out. Last cycle ethereum amplified the pumps and dumps of Bitcoin. Bitcoin was up 2%, ETH was up 6%. Bitcoin was down 1%, ethereum was down 5%. But now ethereum just follow along for the ride calmly. 
 GOOD EVENING

are you still bullish ?!

i hope you find your peace with your life ! 
 Bull market over. $10k incoming. /s 
 How early are we? 

Normies have no clue what a sat is. 
 Saturday? 
 The $12m seems excessive. I get she suffered loss of income, but $12m? 
 My elderly mom who knows next to nothing about Bitcoin saw in the newspaper today that Bitcoin was above $90k USD.

My mom: “Do you still have some Bitcoins? It’s above $90,000. It’s a time good to sell”.

 I do wish I could convince her to allocate a small portion of her savings to Bitcoin ETFs, even 5%, but some things are just not meant to be. 

I actually don’t remember ever telling her about my Bitcoin holdings. Haha 
 So, the CRA (the IRS of Canada/tax collection agency) has been exposed by whistleblowers for mismanaging money, and now they are doing a witch hunt to find the whistleblowers because they are mad they were exposed?

WTF? 

And I need to pay income taxes to these clowns?

 Does it count as an emergency if you don’t have enough bitcoin? 
 I know. This is painful.

“BREAKING: Bitcoin crashes to prices not seen since this morning” 
 These articles miss the mark. Same for the articles on El Salvador, they all refer to Bitcoin as a “Bet”. “Their bet paid off”. 

Yes, it’s a bet if you only invest in Bitcoin for 2 months and try to time the market. Or if you are a day trader.

But if you HODL there’s nothing remotely close to a “bet” in holding Bitcoin. 

That’s why I find the 200WMA chart so powerful. Everyone that held Bitcoin for 4 years or more is in the green. Not much of a gamble if you zoom out to remove the noise …
https://m.primal.net/MDCI.jpg 
 It would be unlikely to be broken, at least this cycle. Right now the 200WMA is at about 40k. It’s unlikely that the average price will be lower than 40k in the next 4 years. 

That’s not to say that the 4 year average price will always go up. I’m sure one day there will be a 4 year long bear market which will break the up trend, but I don’t think it will be anytime soon! 
 Well, technically wine is a juice, so … 😅 
 Do your best not to tell anyone how well you're doing off Bitcoin, even family

 How do you feel about IRL Bitcoin events and meetup? 
 Price in the 90s was short lived, but it will be back soon enough!! 
 90k!! 
 I am not sure. Most ETF investors don’t have a hodling mentality. Any sell offs in the market will be amplified by the ETFs. 

When the average investor will want to de-risk their investments, there will be a mass exodus in the Bitcoin ETFs which will drive prices down. 
 Plus I hope you are right as 85% drops are great buying opportunities. 😅 
 I don’t know if Bitcoin will go high enough this cycle, but I can’t wait to have enough money to pay off my mortgage. 
 Yeah. With low interest rates it’s a fair point. But if history repeats itself between the peak of this cycle and the start of the uptrend of the next cycle I should have 18-24mo to replenish my bags. But it’s hard to predict the future! 😅 
 That’s fake news. The price is at $85k now! Haha  🧐 
 You're not ready for a 100k daily candle

 I only lost 15 Facebook friends this election cycle. Those are rookie numbers in this racket.

 Good morning!! 
 Hot wallet or cold wallets?
#askNostr nostr:note18je9t64gark407rm4qamrd62ck3hw4ldmvjxjxdqw5zysvr6... 
 For your phone it doesn’t really matter as much as you shouldn’t have more than a handful of dollars, so whether it’s a custodial or non custodial wallet it doesn’t matter as much. 

As far as I know most wallets supporting Lightning and zaps are custodial. 
 I don’t think materialism is dead. Most “normies” are still pretty much living that lifestyle. 
 Waking up after 4am is the new smoking! 😅 
 applying for a fiat job...

"Tell us why you are interested in this position."

what would you say? 
 Some BS about the company (how great it is to work there from what you heard online and how you are impressed by what they are doing) and if you can mention projects or specifics listed in the job posting that’d be great too. It sucks but flattery will go a long way here.

Or just say “me need money for mo bitcoin” 
 Their shandy is pretty good! That’s sad. 
 Yeah, the beer is safe (fortunately), but it still sucks that they are closing the plant, which has been around in some form or another for over 150 years! 
 Now if only I had bought more at that price 
 #Bitcoin is going from here ($75k) to  millions in the next couple of years and you only have one... 
 Millions, in the next couple of years? 
 Yeah for sure. But $10,000 is more likely that $1,000,000 next year!

My base case is that Bitcoin will be between $10,000 and $1,000,000 next year! 
 Some memes hurt more than others! 🤕 I am totally not like that 😬.

That’s the best election meme IMHO!

 I don’t know, I feel the same way when I wait for a bitcoin transfer to confirm to make sure I didn’t mess up! lol

 For 1 sat to be $1 the market cap for bitcoin would be 2 Quadrillion it could happen 
 Imagine paying someone $21 for stupid memes on here! 😅 
 Sadly most probably lost the card too!

Can you imagine in 50 years:
- “When I was a kid someone gave me a handful of sats now worth $50,000 along with Halloween candies, but I lost the card.”

 This was the result of a SIM swap, right? So, will the carrier also be held liable for allowing it to happen?

 What’s the best way to give Bitcoin as a gift to “normies” with no prior bitcoin experience? #asknostr 
 Yeah Canada. I feel like in 50 years people will say “back in my days we used to get what today is worth $50,000 just for shaking our phone”. 😂 
 That’s a good idea. I get the comments  that said “if they are new they will lose it don’t give them sats or bitcoin”, which is probably the case. They might lose it. 

But they have to start somewhere and losing a few days is not a big deal. It’s not like I’d give them a full bitcoin! lol 
 You should run indoor ads so that other companies can’t collect data while your ads are up! 
 Will we stay about $68k this time? 😅 
 And they lived happily ever after? 🥲 
 The last 6 months: Hold my beer! 
 Imagine owning zero sats rn. 
 We can all still relate, because most of us own NOT ENOUGH sats rn
