    I remember the hype of some establishments accepting bitcoin as payment, soon after bit coin fell that fairy tale fell with it....no one cares to buy goods and services with a magical coin. ....no one wants to use fiat to buy crypto like bitcoin and see it fluctuate 10 to 20% a month......

    I'll say it again. No one wants to buy bitcoin and use it as currency to buy their Starbucks latte and new Adidas flip flops.

    I don't see bitcoin accepted as payment at the establishments I walk into.

    And who the fu*k wants to hold bitcoin in a wallet as in every single day I read yet another article about someone being hacked and being drained of their magical coins.

  4. On the flip-side, every single day I read about another boomer who fell for a phishing email or tele-scam and was drained of their fiat.

    El Salvador became the first country to accept Bitcoin as legal tender. Now it’s offering citizenship for a $1 million ‘investment’

    Without price stability, you're going to get fucked at the drive-thru.

    Powell has not been delineating the problem in a way people can understand.

    Without the Fed, you are FUCKED!

    Simple-enough English?

  7. Well to be fair, the working class is already fucked at the drive-thru. McD's burgers are unaffordable to the working class now, something they admit.

    The good news for stonkholders is number-goes-up because it's a real-estate company, not a fast-food company.

    I like the idea of BTC (and by extension the blockchain). I really do. What must calm down is the USD-equivalency! Ug!

    It is still too volatile!

    Powell is not concerned with bitcoin, he has too much worries wrt insolvent banks



    The price of bitcoin goes up against all fiat currencies

    Today, 1 bitcoin can purchase over 51,000 cuckbuck$
