Drives an Audi the size of a small ship, has the teeth whitened, plays golf in a fancy club, spends a small fortune on sniff and hookers, corporate seat in the Aviva. Vulgar sort, but I’m sure he would have enough spare change to buy 15 or 20 bitcoins.

Watch this in its entirety and come back to your post here. It's 40 minutes but very easy watching, you need to actually look at the video too not just play it half assedly in the background. It's a must watch for anyone who actually has an interest in the industry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V3VgbQ23E8k When one invests in shares, they are buying something that has an underlying value (a little piece of a company that owns assets) that is generating wealth (profits). Yes, there is a small element of speculation regarding price, but it is investing in something tangible. Similarly, when investing in property, they are buying something that has an underlying value (land/building) that is generating wealth (rent). Yes, there is a small element of speculation regarding price, but it is investing in something tangible. Hell, even if you trade in Gold/commodities, there is an underlying asset with value. Bitcoin et al are currencies. And very bad ones at that. The main points that people use when expressing their love for crypto are also the reason why it can never work. A currency needs government backing -until it is legal tender, it is merely a sideshow. It needs strict regulation - right now, the land of cryptos is the financial wild west. It needs central bank interference - as long as it is fluctuating wildly, it is useless as a currency. Ultimately, cryptos have no underlying value. The price they are been traded at reflects 100% speculation and nothing more. And, while not strictly a pyramid scheme in the traditional sense, that's the closest common term that people understand (it is more a series of pyramids). And if you can't see that, then you need to cash out immediately and stay away. P.S. Calling people names because they know what they are doing is a little silly. "Bigging up" something that you are invested in, however, is a very scumbag thing to do and, in regulated environments, is illegal.

Like with all of the information out there people still choose to remain ignorant and talk with absolute confidence like they're experts. We're probably going to to go $100k+ and crash back down to <$50k, but still stay above $20k, and these people will still be saying "see, told you it was a bubble and it's going to zero". How many cycles of it will they go through before they realise the opportunity they missed out on haha

They need BTC to go up so that suckers will FOMO in with real money and they can fill their reserves. Once I saw that money being seized I knew the ol tether printing machine would fire up in to overdrive. And as usual I was right. Glad I made a few pound out of this wretched eco system.

Given the lack of retail hype this time around I'd expect it to vacillate over and under $10k for a bit. Retail types are waiting for the "it's on for sure this time" signal - they love seeing the ATH get crossed over and paying a 10-20% premium, then FOMO in because everybody chats about $500k this cycle. Then it crashes long before it could ever get there.

Use small amounts of your stack to make sidebets, NEVER go all-in on a ****coin - the likelihood you've made the wrong call is >95%. I got absolutely fúcked in 2018 (edit: in fiat terms, still expect an upswing) and ETH's the most promising project in the whole space (as a project, not as a money spinner in comparison to Bitcoin). My tea leaves have suffered from crypto-rot.

I have been averaging into BnB for a while and that's done well apart from the last few days. Its being burned this weekend so not sure how that will affect the price. On other coins I have a bad habit of buying the news. I've lost on Link, LTC and BTC.
