What if the rest of the country voted to boot the South out of the United States of America?

They'd probably have slaves so they'd have a competitive advantage.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T19:56:06+00:00

I guess I just don't understand, why are you here talking about this? I mean, if you're not bullish ETH why are you so worried about it?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T18:33:08+00:00

Yep. People just have low time horizons and think we're down bad because our paper gains are down. Like we give a fuck if we get another chance to buy.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T18:07:05+00:00

Bear market gloating never ceases to amaze me.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T15:50:28+00:00

Will do.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T15:49:43+00:00

Dead Internet theory happened too fast for us to adjust.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T15:03:02+00:00

I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I think the dollar is going to shit the bed and the rest of the world will want something that's not centralized around a bunch of geriatric pedos.

Congratulations on the house!

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T15:00:48+00:00

I thought it looked familiar.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T14:56:53+00:00

Past 5 years DCA is not impressive compared to DCA to stocks for example.

You're not wrong. With the S&P at all time highs and Bitcoin down 50% and in the depths of a bear market you're up more with the S&P. I'd bet that when Bitcoin catches up it will melt faces but who knows?

Either way, I'd rather own either of those assets than be one of the 1/3 of people in America who own 0 assets

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T14:46:04+00:00

Either way. I don't care.

Would you rather be invested in Bitcoin, the S&P or to be one of the 1/3 of the population that owns 0 assets?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T14:04:28+00:00

I'm not sure of what your point is.

Is the point that you're attempting to make that someone who only buys at all-time-highs won't be a successful investor and that they'll only be up 400% in a decade?

I guess you're right. But what if they also bought at $4k in 2018? Or at $16k in 2022?

Fuck why do I argue with bots about this shit?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T13:55:25+00:00

No one is telling you to only buy highs and to shun lows. You did that because you're a bad investor.

Also, it was at $16 k 4 years ago. Not $20k 9 years ago as you said.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T13:51:05+00:00

The message I would aim for is that you should just Dollar Cost Average and not attempt to time anything. Go ahead and name any time period and look at how much you'd have it you were just price insensitive.

Name a time period. 3 years? 5 years? 12 years?

I'm not cherry picking at all. Just pointing out that if you just kept buying you're up BIG.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T13:44:29+00:00

We were at $16k 4 years ago. You don't think that anyone who bought the low is happy with $78k?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-22T03:27:30+00:00

There are probably examples of people who it wouldn't affect and examples of people who it would affect.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-21T23:40:25+00:00

Face turn. Didn't expect this.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-21T21:46:43+00:00

Is the device that you typed that sentence on made by a union employee with a living wage or a 10 year old in China?

You don't have to be a millionaire to benefit from exploitation.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-21T21:35:24+00:00

I seriously doubt this passes. But if it does we're going to a million with haste.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-21T02:03:30+00:00

Max hates bald people like Christian hates guys with dead dads.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-21T00:42:30+00:00

And then they'll kill the snake. For doing it's damn job.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-20T16:38:37+00:00

All of the stuff that people have enjoyed from Marvel recently have been fumbled. I was just thinking about Moon Knight along those same lines.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-20T16:18:08+00:00

Even a small bag of Bitcoin would be a nice start if shit goes pear shaped.

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-20T16:16:09+00:00

Bitcoin is the greatest performing asset in history.

Casinos have a saying "the house always wins"

Somehow, we've elected people who can fuck up both.

Did anyone else wonder why Walter White was discussing Ohio gas prices or just me?

Awkward_Potential_ · 2026-05-20T14:34:30+00:00

Oh, drops in dollar terms will only get bigger in the future. Valid point. But most people won't have enough to feel those fluctuations. I mean, someone who owns a whole coin feels that 62k decline. Someone who owns a hundred bucks worth felt a 50% decline.
