Wouldn't shock me one bit. They always had their little secret. And the Elon stuff was just too convenient

I mean it could be the MAGA God-Emperor just trolling us butt hurt libs. I could see a scenario where Elon is telling him to say these things which will just drive the libtards mad. I do not want to be like those poor diluted bastards that screamed TRUMP WON! THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN! I mean there was nothing more pathetic than those hapless rubes over the last 4 years screaming nonsense into the void. I don't want to be like those sad sacks of shit. But then Co-President Trump goes and says some crazy shit like that and I find myself fighting the urge to want to believe him.

A lot of opinions about what $Trump (and Trump’s likely Wild West view of eliminating the pretense of government oversight of crypto generally) means for crypto’s future.
 
i see that we've got some meme coin discussion going on in here...

i bought 2730 shares of DOGE back in early 2021 for $60.01 and it's now worth about $1,100.....should i keep holding onto it?

the bigger fool theory is the american greed way and more prevalent now than ever. its built into every business so why is crypto any different? i bought an old farm and farmhouse last year and slowly upgrading it and have had several contractors out to get estimates. its sickening how everyone of them are raping people. heat pump was low on freon and hvac co wanted $75 a lb to replace it on top of labor. the shit costs them about $5 a lb.

No, the shit does not cost them $5/lb. New regulations have required different coolants, and they are more expensive. On the other hand, the coolants will save the ozone layer, which shields us from potentially lethal cosmic radiation. So you know, tradeoffs. $100, or life on Earth.

So you made a gain of about $1K? Or $2M? I would sell in both cases (def the latter) but of course I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

hahahahaha. i've gained $1k. i bought it as a joke and it cost me next to nothing so i'm kind of leaning towards holding onto it for now.

Bitcoin already has an element of speculative nature. The Trump/Melania coins are total scams.

They are only scams if you don’t understand the terms. For some, they are a transaction window open 24/7 for ease of bribery deposits and likely a good investment depending how much you value the requested impact on US government functions.

Disagree to a point. There are scams I totally understand but feel I have no other recourse. Doesn't mean its still not a scam. I'll give you an example.

Visiting the Academy in Florence. Long ass lines of 2+ hours if you're lucky. Or you can pay the Skip The Line Tour at 3-4x the rate, and get shown in without much of a wait. Everyone knows the Academy artificially manipulates the line (reservation process, speed of flow, warnings, etc) to prop up the STL tours and everyone gets greased along the way.

I just don't understand any of it. Particularly when you include the energy consumption involved in maintaining all the 1s and 0s. All of the utility originally promised with Bitcoin has been filled with venmo, PayPal, Apple pay etc. Other than nefarious purposes what is the actual use case of Bitcoin?

The newer protocols have proof of stake rather than proof of work. Their energy footprint is miniscule.

When I went to the Academy in 21, they had reservation times and the wait was maybe 30 minutes. Perhaps that was a post-Covid thing, but I don't remember that long of a wait in 95 either. Maybe you have gotten unlucky on your Florence trips if 2+ hours is a short wait for you.

It's the old stuff that costs out the ass. If you have older units that still need the old freon it's very expensive because there is very limited supply (intentionally).
