honestly, all this is just pushing my inevitable "go to the woods permanently" life outcome up several years. i kind of imagined being a bit older when i did that, but now i think i should be chopping down trees, making siege weapons and using them to destroy buildings with crytpo servers

i will become a wood elf

I can't stop watching the BTC price fall.

One of the weird things about BTC trading 24 hours is that the % drops are kind of meaningless.

I just want crypto to die so bad. It's a fucking plague.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 21 May 2021 16:15 (two years ago) link

all i've got is: don't let your friends be cryptofucks. if they do, yell at them and move to the woods with me. there are several open positions on this battering ram we've got going. we need 12 strong people to push this thing into the bitcoin factory

I'm more of a bard type

frogbs, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:19 (two years ago) link

I still very much believe that there's a ceiling on the price of any crypto. IDK where that ceiling is, but there is always only so far that speculative money can take something. You eventually just run out of dumb money.

i think it will, at least the investing part, scams dont last forever

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:20 (two years ago) link

Yeah, that's correct, but they can last a really long time, cf Madoff.

then we will see a golden age of gaming where top of the line graphics cards can be had for five dollars

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:21 (two years ago) link

Also since it's kind of a meta-scam, I wonder how long it can be kept going by rolling money into new sub-scams of the scam (like now we have NFTs)

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 21 May 2021 16:21 (two years ago) link

madoff, a legend in the scam world rip

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:23 (two years ago) link

the amazing thing about Bitcoin is that apparently literally everyone has made money on it. just like my sportsbetting friends who always text to brag after the game is over

frogbs, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:23 (two years ago) link

it has generally gone up a shit ton

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:24 (two years ago) link

Madoff dying was the reason why Bitcoin's been doing so well. now that there's an angel in heaven blessing Ponzi schemes the price can only go up uP UP!!!

frogbs, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:25 (two years ago) link

btw not sure if i ever told the story on here but i knew a guy who ran a hedge fund, was always talking about his various diversified investments, turns out he was just turning 95% of the money over to madoff lmao

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link

You eventually just run out of dumb money.

*nature/financial documentary voice*

every year, tens of millions of children turn 18, and the pool of dumb money is replenished

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link

lol

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 21 May 2021 16:26 (two years ago) link

seriously, though. not just kids, either. it's anyone out there who has a shit job and doesn't feel like they've ever been remotely compensated for the amount of work they're putting in. that's actually most of the world, i think. look around at any job where it's understood that the workers may be high, and you'll see everyone watching binance even more closely than the prototypical sweaty basement cryptoturd

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:30 (two years ago) link

yeah I know, but there is in fact a ceiling on how much of that money there is in aggregate, and that's why bubbles do always eventually deflate.

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 21 May 2021 16:31 (two years ago) link

yeah feel like its little understood how many of the retail investors are working class people buying $100 here or there

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:31 (two years ago) link

which makes the whole thing especially suck cause theyre the ones who will be left holding the bag

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:32 (two years ago) link

and also, curiously, those shouting the loudest and managing to somehow out-dogmatize christians, holy shit

reminds me of the tea party patriots

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:33 (two years ago) link

anyway, i guess the rational thing is just to stay 1000 feet away from all this and hope that it blows up on itself. but...i can't because i physically feel this shit invading my space and wellbeing! it is a tangible digital horde of fucking morons getting closer to my window each day.

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:35 (two years ago) link

Arguably you could spend less time on Twitter and take care of a lot of the problem.

i dumped dozens of crypto image speculators (formerly self-described as digital artists) when i got back from becoming a LVL3 wood elf a few weeks ago. that did help!

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:41 (two years ago) link

idk what this means but anyway

We've successfully playing the #TSLA classic bubble and dispassionately #Ethereum looks similar. Presently, we are trying to find a low off yellow line or $2k. If we can then break $3580-36k great. But if we fail as #TSLA did @$780-800 that would confirm a bull trap = very bad. https://t.co/FmzdpzVhhB pic.twitter.com/q4GT2HYvwF

love when ppl post their bloomberg terminal screencaps it's such a nice little ego boost for them

mr big terminal

xpost silby, that gives me an idea for some twitter content for you :)

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link

p sure the reason you don't know what all that means is because it doesn't mean anything

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Friday, 21 May 2021 16:54 (two years ago) link

idk that guy has a bloomberg terminal

lag∞n, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:55 (two years ago) link

it's a possible bull trap. but possible bull traps also include a significant possibility of bear traps! don't look at the stock market in the eyes - look at its shoulder(s)

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:56 (two years ago) link

wait wait, hold on: "don't look a BEAR market in the eyes - look at its shoulder(s)."

there's my $1M slogan, finally

Karl Malone, Friday, 21 May 2021 16:57 (two years ago) link

I think it's a possible coyote trap -- coyotes are like bullish bears that may change their minds and become bearish bulls

Oddly enough, Madoff died the same day as the Coinbase public offering which was also the bitcoin top.

would we like to see a global crypto contagion folks

I think there are banks that are exposed to crypto in ways far more insidious than anyone talks about.

Real currency and secret "commercial" paper has to flow through banks or the whole laundry is pointless.

y'know what, cryptocurrency is so cool i think i'll just make it my whole personality from now on
