Dunno if it'll survive. Who knows.

Good one. I’ve retired off BTC already. It’s going to $100k soon whether or not you like it.

Maybe the real gains, were the friends we made along the way?

there was a flash crash due to (was it Antpool) power outage back in 2017, Bitcoin crashed to $200 for a few mins and immediately returned to market value within minutes, the $200 (circa) price was only available for 10 - 20 secs, a few lucky punters did get lucky though

it has crashed a lot of times, i think maybe 7 or 8 since 2010. It's going to 250k and beyond eventually, patience young grasshopper

A market cap of $5.5 Trillion? Larger than the GDP of Japan or about the same as the UK and France combined? Does that sound realistic?

How do you handle being so flat wrong all the time? Does it ever get embarrassing? A trawl through your post history (well your alt accounts histories) would show you making these predictions from 3 figures all the way up to here, literally thousands of % of gains lost to anyone who listens to you and the exact same thing will happen here.

In terms of pure opportunity cost you and your Johnnyflash account whose death you had to fake because it got so cringeworthy must be the worst person ever to give advice in the history of the Investments forum. Is there some level of value that will finally beat you over he head hard enough to drop the smugness and realise how wrong you've been?

So is that the big dip over as Musk has bought in?

No need for the anger mate.


JohnnyFlash sadly passed away. He sadly missed to be honest. His sons eventually recovered the BTC he bought when it was around 4k. He had written his seed phrase on the back of a Viz mag. Think they sold the lot recently enough so made a nice profit. I'm sure Johnny would have got a good laugh from it all. RIP.

I told ya'll the Feds and the powers that be were coming after this space.....a week ago in laser eye thread, you called it FUD, I call it the truth:

- May 5th Bitcoin is at $58,000

- Elon Musk is the poster boy supporter, a global champion. Tesla accepts
bitcoin, bitcoin on the balance sheet

- May 6th - Colonial Pipeline bitcoin denominated attack happens
- Soon after Ireland HSE bitcoin denominated attack

- May 13th -Elon Musk, with 50% of his wealth tied up in a national defense
contracting company called SpaceX, does a full 360.Hates Bitcoin.

-Inconceivable he got a phone call from his US national security pay masters in NASA, NSA, the WH to cut out the Bitcoin bull**** if he wants to keep SpaceX alive?

- May 18th - China comes out with three state agencies making a statement.....at worst bans crypto buying & selling through China financial institutions, at best says crypto will never be accepted as payment mechanism and is dangerous. But put crudely the CCP sh!ts all over crpytp

May 19th - Bitcoin hits $30,000 low for the day

Haha there must be a bit of embarrassment from it though, you did fake the accounts death like, remember when you boasted about voting in elections twice in the Politics forum but werent prepared for everyone there calling you a scumbag for it so you tried to double down by having the Pintman account declare he's a double voter aswell

Most people with a holiday home do it pal.

I hadn't opened my ledger wallet for about a week, I opened it up today to have a quick look and closed it within 0.02 sec from opening. What has been seen cannot be unseen. Ladies, please stop selling, I just lost a BMW!

I thought my 0.1 bitcoin purchase buy order at 36k would have held the bears but they somehow got through my wall

I mean the ransom demand - was denominated in bitcoin

i.e. the irish government had to buy and send bitcoin to the criminals

Just bought more when it hit $38.5k, looking like a bit of a recovery now, let's hope that holds up since that was the price point I was hoping it would test easily.

The government hasn't paid and isn't paying them, they're in the process of reinstalling from backups, installing better safeguards for the nation's health data and reviewing their clearly incompetent procedures so something like this doesn't happen again.

It'd be silly to thank Bitcoin for making our health system more secure, but I've heard something that made precisely as much sense recently so feck it...
Thank you BTC for helping our government finally pull their fingers out to keep our data secure.

Double voting holiday home owners dont you know, so thoughtful of the grieving family to inform a random meme account on Boards.ie when he passed away aswell wasnt it? Hilarious to watch someone who couldn't handle running 2 troll accounts on a message board at the same time without sh1tting the bed try to give financial advice.

Finally managed to deposit and buy.

Missed half the dip but will watch and see if it falls more.

If the government decides to pay the ransom to the hackers, will Revenue go after them to the CGT paid? :eek:

I would not be too hard on the HSE. Better systems than many private businesses in actuality. I worked for one major bank about a decade ago which will remain unnamed, windows xp would have been a blessing, much business was done on ancient systems that were all command-line entry, couldn't even use a mouse. It wasn't even a system that was totally isolated either.

Would be a hard argument to make in the HSE to say that perfectly working extremely expensive machines should all be replaced because they won't work on the latest edition of windows.

It has to be said, Johnny / Paddy is a good story teller

Why don't you write up a funny story about how Johnny came to his end and how there's now only his saddened alter ego left?

There's more dips to come. 40k is now the ceiling and not the floor. Yoyo-coin.

Jesus that was a struggle all day on Binance. Finally got in a bought a few bits during the flash sale. Only started with Crypto last Christmas but very happy with my spread now. Stable coins in equal measure of sh!te

Still have huge gains from initial investment so I remain a good luck story...... so far.

Took all day to get anything haha - first dip in the pond for me so hope it can go only one way really

Semi decent recovery today considering absolutely nothing on my watchlist is green. I expect a lot more fùckery for the rest of this run.

But I'll say one thing, for all the shake-outs recently, this market loves recoveries...

Finally! I've been waiting for it to drop below $40k for ages. These dips don't last as long as they used to.
