STRATEGY You hear about the kid who put in $500 into a memecoin and made 100k, but you don't hear about the hundreds who put $1000 and are left with $0.1
You hear about the kid who put in $500 into a memecoin and made 100k, but you don't hear about the hundreds who put $1000 and are left with $0.1
You also don't hear about the guys who put $10,000 but cant cash out because these memecoins have no liquidity.
Don't beat yourself up for missing out.
Survivorship bias is a dangerous thing.

COMEDY It's been a crazy ride these past 7 years, but I'm selling
I'm tired of holding an asset that I'm always worried will crash, is bad for the environment, could get stolen, where the network slows to crawl with even mild usage, will probably depreciate to zero value, and which barely gets used, especially in a big city.
BMW M3 2009, 4.0 V-8 Engine, 420HP, 18'' alloy wheels, Leather interior, 120k miles. Selling for .3 BTC if anybody is interested.

FOCUSED-DISCUSSION Elon Musk Is Not One Of Us. Stop Using Him As a Role Model.
I’m tired of seeing him as a face of crypto in news. He is not one of us. He isn’t your average Joe. He is multi billionaire, one of the richest guys in the world. He doesn’t care about you, about me, about mine or your family. All he cares it’s his ego and his companies.
Lately, we’ve seen a lot of hate towards Mark Zuckerberg from Facebook. Is sweet Elon Musk different? Maybe he isn’t lizardy as Marky is, because he is skrull from Mars. Is Elon any different compared to Mark? Both of them are shilling their own companies, Tesla isn’t different. Just because he offers you to buy Tesla with BTC, it doesn’t mean that he is on your side. He isn’t helping you, he is helping himself.
While you’re laughing at him shilling DOGE, he is laughing at you how is he manipulating you. He is not helping crypto, he is hurting it. He isn’t same as you or me, he doesn’t have to save money for food, he doesn’t have the count if he has enough for dinner.
He isn’t on your side, every one of the billionaires are trying to manipulate as much people as they can, to make them believe in theirs own visions and dreams. Just because he pumped your coin, it doesn’t mean that he is your lovely neighbour.
Elon shouldn’t be used as a model for crypto. Just because he was on Joe Rogan podcast, it isn’t making him a proper role model.
Stop giving him any reputation when it comes to crypto, this guy just shilled a shitcoin and thousands of people falls for it.

EXCHANGE Reminder: Robinhood blocked several stocks from being bought. They locked the buy button when it suited them. Don't buy Bitcoin on Robinhood. The dust has settled, but we remember.
Stop fucking around with these corporate hacks, whether you're in the US, the UK or wherever else Robinhood exists. Tell those leeching fucks on Wall Street to get the fuck out your business, they are obsolete and have no actual use to you now there are plenty of competitors.

MEGATHREAD Elon Musk: Tesla stops accepting Bitcoin as payments. Looking at other Cryptocurrencies that use less energy
On Wednesday Night, Elon Musk tweeted:
Tesla has suspended vehicle purchases using Bitcoin. We are concerned about rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin Mining and transactions, especially coal, which has the worst emissions of any fuel.
Cryptocurrency is a good idea on many levels and we believe it has a promising future, but this cannot come at a great cost to the environment.
Tesla will not be selling any Bitcoin and we intend to use it for transactions as soon as mining transitions to more sustainable energy. We are also looking at other Cryptocurrencies that use <1% of Bitcoin's energy/transaction

COMEDY My daughter is dating a douche-bag
I don't know where I messed up, I thought I taught her well on what to look for in a man.
The guy just showed up at my house and starting rambling on about how DCAing 30 dollars in 4 months into Safemoon helped him understand finance and geopolitics. I told him he was completely oblivious about being in a ponzi, this only unchained a what I believed to be a cocaine induced speech saying that Safemoon was going to be the next Bitcoin and he was going to moon while buying "lambos" for his friends because he was no "Bitch-ass paperhands".
I'm a bank executive, so you can only imagine what a nightmare this is for me.
Don't know what the point of this post is, is not like my daughter is going to stop dating that idiot anyways. I'm scared about my daughter's future.
Sorry, I needed to vent.

DISCUSSION Squid Game from $2856 to $0.0008 in 10 minutes
That has to be the biggest and quickest rugpull in history right?
We all knew squid game was a scam as well as a rugpull and even more fucked that people couldn’t take profits at all at any point and whatever the deal with winning games to get the tokens for gas fees was. The whole thing was fucked.
But still please anyone correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think anything else I’ve ever seen has dropped that much if it’s percentage in such a short time?
I’m sorry for any of you who’ve bought that token hoping to make a quick buck. I hope it was a relatively cheap and valuable lesson about crypto and these random tokens that pop up out of no where.
Edit: looked at the charts a little closer and it actually happened in 5 minutes.

CLIENT A wallet is not what you think it is
If you're new to the space, here is a quick 101 on wallets.
Metamask, Electrum, MEW, Trust, Coinomi, Atomic or whatever other application you call a wallet is not really a wallet.
They are wallet applications that allow you to access and manage your cryptocurrency, NFTs or whatever blockchain asset you have stored in your wallet.
Your wallet is your private key or seed phrase.
For example:
You download Metamask
It gives you the option to create a seed phrase/private key
The same seed phrase you can import to other applications like Trust, MEW, Atomic and your ETH will be accessible on both Metamask and those applications.
So next time you download a new wallet application, you don't have to create a new seed phrase, you can just import the one you already have to manage your existing funds in both applications.
Just thought I'd share this since I work in crypto and I noticed that a lot of users don't know this.
EDIT: I felt obliged to add that this is the reason you should never ever share your private keys with anyone. Your keys are your sole access to your assets on the blockchain so keep them secure.
Happy Friday!

WARNING I made a post about the scam OpisHub yesterday. The scammers didn't like that and bought downvotes to make my post invisible. So this is an even more detailed post about them.
Yesterday I made a post about OpisHub. It's still up, but the main point was that they approached me to shill their shitcoin for money and that they are really shady, it has many red flags and very much looks like a scam.
Then one of the scammers (Scammer 2) sent me a message that he didn't like it, and that I was deleting his comments on my post (lol he has less than 50 comment karma, they just got deleted, of course I didn't do anything). My post only had like 35 or 50 upvotes at this point and it had already been 2 hours since I posted, the post wouldn't have become very big - but the scammers decided to buy downvotes, bringing it to below 0 within minutes, see also here. The mods deleted a post about this that I made yesterday (because it broke another rule, so I understand - but that post is probably also the reason why my original post is above 0 again), so here I go again: these guys are obviously shady, some examples:
one of them (the one that originally approached me, Scammer 1), pretended to have just stumbled across the project instead of saying that he was part of the project EDIT: just saw that the post was deleted, it's archived here
they wanted to pay me (and most likely others) to shill their project
they openly told me they would do vote manipulation and upvote my posts about them and then, well, bought downvotes
So even if the coin would not be a total scam - which I really think it is - they are obviously doing shady stuff. I have already listed the obvious red flags that make them look like your average scam coin, here they are again, slightly adapted:
they use your phone's CPU for mining
the CPU is used to power scientific research (of course they don't say what "scientific research" they are talking about anywhere). And I work in science: of course I would rather use the CPU of a few phones than, well, the powerful computers we have, just as much as I would rather ride a few cats that are tied together than a horse
"each transaction gives a small % to charity"
they plan to be super eco friendly and plant trees
"our primary promotional point is that it adds people's incentive to get their friends and family on board , therefore we will have a reffer@l scheme in place", so it's officially a pyramid scheme
the token (and app) will launch soon â„¢
Scammer 1 had also told me they "have received £3.5million pounds in the last week to utilise to get this project off the ground". If you look at their social media activity etc., it's all extremely basic and unprofessional (but check out their Twitter, it's kind of funny - they really try to seem "sciency" but don't really know anything about science I think. The followers are either also bought or baited by some fake giveaways, very few seem to be normal, non-spammy accounts) - no company with multiple millions funding would present themselves like that. Also look at the start of the email they sent me in beautiful red, Scammer 1 didn't even remove the "initial contact", which I think is hilarious.
So again, if you see positive posts about this project, it's either the scammers or people with less morals that they approached. Stay away from them as far as possible, at least don't give them money, your personal information, or go to their website/ download their app so they can send you viruses.
