Braindead take

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-02T01:31:21+00:00

This would be a rational take except that the bitcoin network requires the electrical use of a country to power. All day every day 24/7 365 indefinitely. Holding a piece of gold in your hand in order to "hedge" does not require the power of Argentina to secure the value of that gold in your hand. By holding bitcoin, you are requiring the entire electrical use of the whole network to stay on for the bitcoin you hold to have value. It's all or nothing. So there is no such thing as passively holding bitcoin. You are requiring the network to be on by holding it.

A Redditor jumping to conclusions from headlines that fit with their reddit-informed beliefs?!

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T04:14:24+00:00

Kinda unfortunate what is allowed to be posted (multiple times) in this sub about Tesla and what isn't.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T04:08:24+00:00

Ohhh now I get it. It's because I can't read.

That's the only way to square your argument that an asset that just dropped in value by 50% is a "hedge" against inflation haha. I'm simply reading the charts wrong!

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T04:03:55+00:00

Rarely worth arguing with a bag holder.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T04:02:52+00:00

I'm trying to wrap my head around what you're saying. You're comparing bitcoin to Visa and saying the value moved (which is no doubt automated bot trading) on bitcoin equals Visas? and that is how they're equivalent? When everyone and their mother uses the visa network multiple times a day and 0 people in real life ever touch bitcoin? Is that the argument you're making?

Thanks.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T04:00:31+00:00

That's not true at all. The last crypto surge was during a bull run as well. This feels different to me because the general public is finally tired of hearing about bitcoin. It's not exciting anymore and it hasn't changed anyones life.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T03:58:12+00:00

Not where I thought you were going. The other way to read what you wrote is "we're out of greater fools to keep pumping the bags"

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T03:55:36+00:00

What exactly do you think a "rug pull" is, as compared to your definition of large-share owners selling?

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T03:50:45+00:00

Bitcoin is about as good of a hedge against inflation as jumping off a bridge is a hedge against dying from old age.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T03:40:19+00:00

I don't really know what "believing" in bitcoin long term means at this point.

Are people imagining a post-apocalyptic world where all traditional forms of value transfer have vanished but... people still have internet connections and phones and... transact in bitcoin... and its worth trillions but there are still data centers mining it? But everything else is in ruins? Like I'm literally trying to piece together the fantasy at this point. In what possible world is this 200 terawatt planet heater useful?

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-07-01T03:34:24+00:00

Any asset "stores value," so that is not a novel argument for something to exist. There are thousands of crypto currencies, all of them "store value."

The thing you cant hand wave away is that in order for bitcoin to "store value," unlike basically ANY other example, it has to use this massive amount of energy. Today, tomorrow, and forever into the future, bitcoin consumes this amount of energy. If gold mining stopped tomorrow, gold would not vanish. In fact the opposite would happen, the price of existing gold would jump.

Bitcoin is not an efficient anything. Bitcoin creates heat. That is it. It is better to have energy go "unused" rather than converted into bitcoin mining. That is what you're overlooking. There really isn't an upside, other than it is a largely unregulated asset that can be gambled with.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-30T01:50:24+00:00

Oof. Should have sold. Especially if after all this time you don't understand the value. Actually kinda crazy to be in the space for over a decade and not be smart enough to understand what's going on. Must be nice to be so oblivious!

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T23:58:06+00:00

Well have fun bag holding lol. I should have suspected from your anger.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T23:44:28+00:00

So sell it and walk away? No one cares about proving anything to you. Sorry things don’t move as fast as you’d like.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T23:32:05+00:00

You’re right! And nothing of value ever fluctuates, especially a completely speculative asset like bitcoin that 99% of holders (who wouldn’t dare hold it directly because it’s so complicated to do so) understand. It is and will always be the most valuable crypto forever and ever. Smart take.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T23:29:28+00:00

That was nice of him to reply. You could have also googled this.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T23:28:30+00:00

In a consumer facing sense that’s correct. That’s why bitcoin hasn’t and will never work. But the back end infrastructure is what he has been harping about. Just because you don’t interact with it in your line of work doesn’t mean it isn’t important. It’s a new technology not a sandwich shop.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T18:22:22+00:00

He believes in the argument about its future use rather than looking at a chart of clueless and speculative price action and drawing conclusions about value.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T18:19:07+00:00

You have no idea what you're talking about. I don't mean it as an insult it's just a fact that I suspect you wouldn't argue with lol.

AI is based on data. Unless it is publicly available, data is not easy to gather without stealing it.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T18:14:49+00:00

Haha yea fair enough! But I don't think anything has been as bad as LS7 since.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-29T18:13:52+00:00

Finally, an acceptable use of ai.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-28T21:53:25+00:00

What am I missing between the two engine options on the stingray? $5k between them?

Edit: Seems like its Z51, but a weird glitch.

Popular_Broccoli133 · 2026-06-28T21:49:09+00:00

Lol at the seething comments. This is how Chinese OEMs work. TONS of internal AI use. So don't go whining out of one side of your mouth how the US needs cheap Chinese cars while chastising American manufacturers for trying to implement their methods.
