Nothing partisan in this, but it is a useful insight:

Calling a bottom? Interesting. That would put ETH/BTC at 0.05570795. I'm hoping for a further drop, maybe a "sell the news" event when staking comes. If it ever gets below .04, I'll start buying ETH.
I caught a buy yesterday at 28.3k, but I'll put in some more orders lower.
And for those wondering what the bitcoin network does, it defends property the same way that the military industrial complex does. But it is so much more efficient and it is for everyone, all around the world. Not as important as knitting doilies...
And for those of you equating speculative investment with ponzis and whatever other denigrative descriptors you choose to assign, I feel sorry for you. You lack imagination, you lack vision, you lack hope, you lack the entire idea of a better future. Maybe I read too much sci-fi growing up, but, well, whatever, I feel sorry for you.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

I have a serious question, someone posted about 4% inflation going forward. How should people save for the future going forward? How would you advise?
BTW, when I read the posts in this thread, all the bashing, I really do try to separate the wheat from the chaff and find the value. What can I learn? In spite of all the polarization in the world today, I don't see things as binary, I hope for a nuanced view.Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

You guys probably know that my pet project, chainlink, is the beating heart of defi. Here's a FUD piece (only 13 minutes) on part of the current architecture, having to do with multisig: https://www.coindesk.com/video/first...nlink-oracles/
There's a response, including that the 3 of 20 multisig has been updated to 4 of 9 and documentation has been provided: https://twitter.com/ChainLinkGod/sta...55815456624640Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.

The basic point of all your arguments seems to be that the current systems shit stinks.. But you ignore and deny the stink of your preferred system... and whether or not prices rise or fall of your favorite tokens doesn't mean that they would become an essential part of a better system.

As I read your post I thought I was reading some pamphlet from pre internet days about the wonders of multi level marketing and other similar wealth creation schemes..the same mindset/all in belief/faith of the future success and the same put down of anyone expressing skepticism of this latest get rich idea..I seriously wish you good luck with your speculation!.. There are plenty of suckers in this world and selling dreams to them has been a road to profit for many people.. Good luck with your drive.

I love the "you just don't get it" shtick.
For the common man, crypto enlightenment is quite elusive.

Business news talking about holiday volatility and low trading volume/liquidity combined with record high leverage on top of declining retail engagement. It just means an outsized move is possible either up or down

It's not a pump and dump, it's a "distribution" from the whales. Do a rich man a favor, keep on buying the dip.

After expenses I put every dollar I have into income producing assets. Real estate, farmland, profitable companies that pay dividends. I don't own Bitcoin for the same reason I don't own gold. It doesn't compound. I do use xmr to conduct online business because I like the privacy but then immediately convert to a real cash flow positive asset.
4% inflation really isn't an issue for me since I can get bigger raises than that from my employer and the only debt I have is fixed at a very low rate and if anything the payments as % of my income will do down a lot.

Tapping into what RooR said I view RE as an asset that tracks inflation. As well as primary home, own another RE asset and would consider picking up another if the Canadian RE market resets somewhat. But RE is already 20+ % of the overall net worth so am somewhat reluctant to add a big increment which then constrains the purchase decision.
Have added to dividend yielding assets which produce covered calls to keep core portfolio yielding 10% + which tracks above inflation.
Yolo port is kept at 5% of net worth. Now hunt and kill quick trades for the most part and looking to add BTC and ETH but at below what MakersTelemark pointed out to capitalize even more on panic sells if possible. Only had miniscule interest in alt/shitcoins before and even less now.

Or.. If you want the simplicity of buying and following one investment.. I suggest Berkshire Hathaway stock...A lot of dividends and diversification .. But all the stocks that BK own actually manufacture products or provide a service that people want to use no matter what the economic outlook.

I mentioned that the Fed having a 4% inflation target instead of the current 2% could be beneficial, but it’s not something I’d plan around.
Fed hasn’t ever said anything about changing from their current target, and as of today the market is pricing in average inflation of 2.28% over the next 5 years.

RooR and Lee, thank you for the responses. Thoughts - 1) doesn't real estate seem a little high at the moment? 2) Are reits as good as homes? 3) Profitable companies that produce dividends, seems like that could be quantified and screened by a normal person (not a financial guru) or maybe some dividend type etf? 4) Other things you mentioned don't seem reasonable for the average person, like covered calls and such?
