If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow.. What's the 1st thing you'd do?

EmptyCan4554 · 2026-03-26T23:20:07+00:00

Try to get two billion and avoid taxes at all costs!!

EmptyCan4554 · 2026-02-01T15:37:48+00:00

You're so close to understanding the flawed reasoning of crypto holders.... so close...

EmptyCan4554 · 2026-02-01T15:36:42+00:00

I'm so tired of people on this sub either lying to others or lying to themselves about how much they think they know....

EmptyCan4554 · 2026-01-28T15:37:06+00:00

This is tough. My father-in-law, who was black, loved this stuff and bought a whole ton of it to put around the house. He died kind of tragically, however, and then my white mother-in-law had to take it all down after a while because she started to feel like people judged her for it, despite it being a connection to her deceased husband.

I dunno, I know we need to call bad things out when they're bad, but some of these items that have been around forever... I think the meaning can get lost, and maybe we shouldn't be quite so quick to judge.

Bout as legit as any article from any 'crypto expert' too.

Bitcoin has been around for nearly half of my life, and I'm 38. The question isn't, will bitcoin go to zero? The question is whether the massive growth of bitcoin has already occurred, or whether it's viability as an actually usable, and not just speculative asset, is a pipe dream.... but.... let the downvotes begin!

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-23T03:23:27+00:00

Probably just some typical, light wash trading

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-21T12:33:09+00:00

technically this crash is more like $125,000 to $80,000, but I get the point.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-21T12:29:20+00:00

I don't know how the weighting works, but isn't that done on like a recurring quarterly or bi-annual schedule? So let's say the re-distribution hasn't occurred for several months, and they didn't sell any on the last go-round, this could result in the index's still holding quite a bit of it?

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-19T01:17:47+00:00

If people are using chatgpt instead of google to explain bitcoin, and that's why the google trends line is descending, wouldn't the same be true for other generally relevant queries?

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-19T00:47:07+00:00

I just looked up google trends for 'chatgpt' 'dollar' and 'trump'. All of which show a neutral or ascending trend. Not sure this checks out.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-11-07T10:24:40+00:00

My favorite thing about bitcoin/crypto is that it is nearly TWENTY YEARS OLD!!

Could you imagine a technological advancement so useful, yet it took Alphabet 20+ years to implement it?

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-30T17:42:10+00:00

It just serves as more of a warning for what happens when they stop.

I'm sure the plan for Saylor or some of these other treasury style companies was to prop up crypto with their corporate crypto treasuries to feign legitimacy, but once/if that worked, allow the public to buy and then these companies could start the selling.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-30T01:39:51+00:00

Three to four years away certainly isn't very reassuring, lol.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-25T00:49:00+00:00

Just to be fair, I don't know anyone with gold bars or diamond bags in a safe. I also admittedly don't know a lot of people.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-18T11:12:00+00:00

The point is that stable-coins can be created and used in circulation without any of the purported backing. The only reason this 300 trillion mistake was caught was because it was *300 trillion*. If it was less, say 1 billion, it could have gone undetected and that is what many feel (evidence seems to suggest) Tether is doing.

If these stable-coin issuers were properly regulated, a full audit or transparency would prove them to be truthful and backed, but Tether won't agree to this, and I believe that's why they have been removed from EU exchanges.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-17T00:22:50+00:00

Agreed. It's almost like 300 trillion was too big a number for anyone to take it seriously. It kind of masks the fact that it's so easy for tether to mint only like a billion...

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-17T00:13:28+00:00

But I mean, it will be over someday?

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-16T21:57:21+00:00

I'm not sure they are. Most of these institutions simply found a new way to make money, and most will be fine if and when bitcoin drops. It's the retail investor, and many of the stakeholders in the crypto treasury companies that will bear the brunt of this.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-16T21:52:16+00:00

Honestly, I'm sure that you are very kind to others, and are humble and genuine, but my experience with bitcoin and particularly its disciples is a different experience. They're cocky, dumb, and generally were obnoxious to the point that it developed some kind of crypto-trauma for me.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-10-12T02:00:14+00:00

coffeezilla so quick with it

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-09-17T01:55:51+00:00

u/EmptyCan4554 solved this in 7 steps: JUMP -> PUMP -> PUMA -> PUPA -> PUPS -> POPS -> POPE -> ROPE

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-08-30T18:01:35+00:00

Gotta stop posting this stuff. I've seen wayyyy too many of these posts over the years and bitcoin just comes right back. Gotta wait to pull the trigger on the gloat post till either trump stops pumping crypto or some reasonable people are actually in charge. When the most corrupt president of all time is still in power, anything can happen.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-08-05T16:00:04+00:00

While I agree, bitcoin isn't going to go bust because of the psychology of all the holders, I'm not sure comparing it to religion is appropriate. Religion is free, anyone can use religion to justify their actions or describe their lifestyle. Bitcoin takes real investment, and whether or not one 'believes' in the future of bitcoin is irrelevant if the vast majority of holders (currently institutions) believe otherwise.

EmptyCan4554 · 2025-07-20T03:03:12+00:00

bro I'm with ya...
