in tyool 2017 any prediction made based on the world not being the most impossibly, absurdly stupid place are being dashed

this includes bit coins

Haha no anyone that was sure that they had a crystal ball and that they were right re: bitcoins being a scam, turns out to be a dumbass that is incapable of understanding new things or making useful predictions. Like, they are idiocy incarnate and spent months / years spreading their poo poo to other people because they are dumb. Ahahahaha. It's great.

im sorry i dont believe in fiat currency. would you instead take an internet currency whose value fluctuates wildly and, in spite of being valued at a ridiculous level and cornered by chinese mobsters and the winklevoss twins, has many hardcore adherents among doomsday preppers and sovereign citizens? yes, i will use this to pay for my star citizen rig.

Haha I didn't say they were spiteful or bitter, they are literally dumbasses that decided to spread their dumbassery to the world, convinced they were right and that they had to save other dumbasses from themselves

While obviously some people have made quite a bit on bitcoin, even the hardcore fans have to admit there is no obvious reason that it should continue to remain at it's current value since it has extreme volatility. I think anyone getting in now is very likely to get hosed. Just wait til the next crash

Nonetheless it is literally possible to do this and most of these merchants use bitpay which pays them out in dollars so your points are irrelevant

People made this prediction when Bitcoin was $2500-3000 in June of this year, in the last Bitcoin thread. Bitcoin will not go above $3000, even if it appreciated from $1200 to $3000, it won't go much further, so there's no more money to be made.

So what I'm trying to say, unless you have a crystal ball and know the future, why on earth would you post this dumb poo poo. It could go to 9k or crater to 3k and the point is that I don't know and you don't know about this speculative currency that is brand new

But apparently you DO know that 6k is the peak and you gotta wait for a dip and buy for reasons

The yospos snipe contingent is my favorite part of this whole thing. Sometimes I enjoy reading the "other thread" where there's dozens of sysadmins congratulating themselves for being smart enough to avoid bitcoins and writing books and modding subreddits about how bitcoins are a scam. It's a parallel world.

Believe it or not, the truth is somewhere in the middle and those of you who are convinced that Bitcoin is bad for reasons a goon told you in gbs in 2011 are just as retarded as a true believer like ham sandwiches who made money investing poorly and thinks it's because of his keen financial instinct

Literallly the only thing I have posted is that the goons that believe Bitcoins are bad because gbs told them so have been sold a line of poo poo in the name of laughing at redditors, and that the people repeating that stuff are dumb as hell

Sometimes you make mistakes. You laught at bitcoin when it is $20. You think Google at $100 is overvalued, Facebook isn't worth $40 a share and so forth.

And then you post pictures of drying strawberries and garbage charts for years, because it would be wrong for others not to benefit from your sage insight. That's just the most amazing part, to me.

Instead of looking at the "value", which is just speculation, take a good look at what bitcoin offers over its competitor, regular fiat currency. The only real advantage is more security when buying illegal goods. Then ask yourself, "Is the market for illegal goods going up?".
