    The dogs may bark, but the Millennial's that invested in Grey-scale,
    will be buying discount ski jackets
    on the grey markets
    for years to come.

    "QuadrigaCX widow ‘heartbroken’ over exhumation request."

    Well I guess so.
    I mean, maybe she doesn't even know if it is him or not.

    He willed her $9M just before he allegedly died.
    If I was her, I wouldn't even look.
    Just bury the fucker and give me my $9M!

    And let's say, it isn't him and she was fleeced.
    Then she doesn't get the deal because ... the courts won't certify that he is dead for legal and insurance purposes.

    If he is alive, the money forensics will eventually catch up to him.

    And she changed her name 3 times, before they even met.
    Shady as AF.
    When movie?

    BTC Still not zero. Best investment of the decade. Just wait until the Fidelity fund managers get the directive to start allocating a few points of their customers' portfolios to BTC. Just getting started.

    The decade is almost over — and one incredibly volatile investment stood out from all the rest as the best of the 2010s. Want to guess what it was?

    Bitcoin.

    According to a recent report by Bank of America Securities, if you invested $1 in bitcoin at the start of the decade, it would now be worth more than $90,000...

    That's nothing.
    You should have invested in Tulips in 1634.
    They returned over 100,000 times the initial investment in only one year.

    You know what hurts? Selling off much of the GBTC that I bought for under $4 because I'm a fucking hobo. God damnit.

    You bought it for under $4? Or sold it for under $4?

    At least you were smart enough to stay away from altcoins and scam exchanges.

    All I thought I knew about Barry Silbert (a la Greyscale), is something someone told me,
    that he kept Ethereum Classic alive to find a way to profit from it. Which has since gone the way of the dinosaurs.
    The people that bought all the ETC during the 2017 ETC/ETH fork, bought it for cents on the dollar, and then they owned it all,
    to pump n dump if they wished.


    Greyscale. Ahem. Cough cough. What the #$% were you thinking?

    Whatever your outcome and investment outlook,
    be glad you didn't get Mt. Goxed (100% of everyone that initially invested in BTC 10 years ago),
    or suffer the huge Bitfinex hack loss in 2016 (or 2017??)
    or suffer from the many and numerous exchange 'hacks' before and since.

    BTC and crypto has been a very efficient means of separating people from their wealth, since the very inception.

    Great read! Nic must not have gotten PG's email telling him BTC is going to zero. Probably went to his spam folder or something.

    Why bother using perfectly reasonable and logical arguments to try and combat entrenched greed and delusion? Doing that in person is hard enough. Across the internet, when there are so many echo chambers the people can retreat to for encouragement and support ... it's virtually impossible.

    Even though cryptocurrency is horrible (a lot of people are going to lose, relatively few can "win"), the whole cryptocurrency thing is really an interesting experiment. Watching it unfold, watching the coin shills, the scammers and the scams, the 3000+ shitcoins, and thinking about the psychology behind FOMO, HODL, strong hands vs weak hands, the PUMPS, the DUMPS, the bogus rarity claims, the buzzwords, the "secret knowledge", the MEMEs, the infighting between the crypto cults, etc is really incredibly interesting.

    The people in the cult seem to think of themselves as creating a new future, when all they are doing is buying a ticket in a corrupt lottery. It is really extremely "cult-ish" behavior. We probably (hopefully) wont see another experiment like this in our life times.

    What a shame. The entire history of money has always been about magnanimity until Bitcoin came around.

    Although, your post actually makes a great case for Bitcoin because BTC removes trust from the equation. A person sending 1000 BTC or one moving 5 Satoshis has the same rights and censorship resistant abilities as anyone else via the BTC protocol. So in that sense it's a great equalizer for many.

    The fallacious & destructive regimes of war, inflationism & appeal to authority are living on borrowed time.

    Is there an applied use of blockchain other than unregulated trading vehicles?

    Bitcoin....who's gotten into it?

    So no practical use at this time other than speculative asset vehicle.

    Speculating in unregulated assets used largely for criminal enterprise is acceptable behavior vs taxable property ownership. Ok

    You have to pay taxes on Bitcoin gains in the U.S. and there are Bitcoin options and futures on regulated exchanges.

    Also, Bitcoin is mostly HODLed. As of July 2019, 60% of Bitcoin hadn't been moved in over a year. As of November 2019, 21% of Bitcoin hadn't been moved in over 5 years.

    It's actually pretty dumb to use Bitcoin for illegal transactions. Your public keys, public keys you've transacted with and transaction amounts are all public knowledge. While authorites can't prove which public keys belong to a specific person (unless those keys are associated with an exchange account or they get a criminal's private keys), they can use the blockchain info to shed light on an investigation. It's still much smarter to do illegal transactions with laundered cash.

    Privacy coins like Monero are being conflated with Bitcoin to the public. Bitcoin is trustless, not anonymous.
