I get it mate. Merkins who have crypto assets never shut up about them.

However MSTR as a stock on the the DOW is marked as avoid. Why ? Because there are no fundamentals.

You used to say the same about Bitcoin, posting tulip pictures and mocking the revolution. Your mate, @Poupou Escobar, was at it too, until I threatened to raise his rent.

It goes both ways. In real life I barely mention crypto as everyone wants to tell me its a scam.
When BTC hits 100k when I bought at 20k they might get a bit of a chirp back.

It would depend how much you bought. I got on BTC when it was worth about $50k and in those four years it's tripled. But because I think it's objectively worthless I only 'risked' $200. In the same period the DOGE and XRP I bought have far outperformed BTC, by a long way. So instead of BTC I should've bought more DOGE, which has gone up 10x in the same amount of time. But really, even the DOGE is worthless IMO.

More than two years after buying those shitcoins I bought Nvidia shares and they have outperformed BTC as well, and unlike BTC they are a genuine business with economic fundamentals underpinning their value. The price isn't determined by a bunch of basement dwelling desperados hoping to get rich quick.

Another who doesn't know what the f**k they are talking about. Even in cryto arguments where you have been constantly owned you pick up a point in time that suits your argument.

Bitcoin​

• Inception price: $0.0008 to $0.01 (we'll use $0.01 for simplicity).
• Current price: USD$100,000.

---

Dogecoin​

• Inception price: $0.00026.
• Current price: USD$0.44.

---

Comparison​

• Bitcoin: ~10,000,000x increase since inception.
• Dogecoin: ~1,692x increase since inception.

Conclusion​

Bitcoin has risen far more than Dogecoin since their respective inceptions, both in percentage terms and absolute gains. Bitcoin's growth remains unparalleled in the cryptocurrency world.


Again @Poupou Escobar, please go f**k yourself and stick to the circular logic about player options.

@Gronk, here’s the thing: we do need people like you. Those who support charities, feed soup to the homeless, and feel good about themselves for it. You get your dose of virtue signaling, maybe after a Big Mac binge and scrolling through memes on your computer, countering realistic viewpoints, especially those of modern-day Christians like me.

I also support charities, but I do it by giving people free advice (in this case to fellow Parra supporters) to genuinely help them improve their lives. You mocked and dismissed it. But when we’re living in a cashless world with Bitcoin providing the brakes on inflation, and you’re sitting in Woollahra, sipping your chai latte, you may reminisce on the wisdom you ridiculed at every step.

If he punched any holes in the walls, you could fix that yourself.

I’d take his bond money off him. It’s still my f**king wall.

One of these days all your gold chains are going to get caught up in the gyprock sander. When it does, don't come crying to me. I'll only say " I told you so".

BTC is not my only holding. I have a mixed bag. I generally avoid the total shit coins.
Michael Saylor would laugh at being called a basement dwelling desperado.

I thought he was talking about respective performance since Bitcoin reached 50K, not inception.

I like investing in )(#&&@)#($* and have done OK. Some might think that )(#&&@)#($* isn’t a good place to put your money, but I wouldn’t take it personally, throw my toys out of the cot and launch into a personal attack on why I am a better person than anyone who dares criticise )(#&&@)#($*.

FFS who cares about )(#&&@)#($* anyway.

Where I live there are a lot of old rich and new rich and they have all become wealthy their own way by finding their own little niche in life. I am yet to find a crypto gabillionaire. Good on you though. Go buy a plane.

It’s always respective to his argument. That’s why he chose that point in time. Besides who the f**k puts a pissy $200 into bitcoin to make a couple of hundred more. That’s what alt coins are for.

Luke 18:22

It seems from many of the bible verses like Jesus might have been the wokest person to walk the earth.

Yet (some) "modern Christians" like to get all uptight about anything - or more specifically, anyone - that doesn't fit their particular world view, which seems much narrower these days than Jesus's was?

Definitely way too "woke" for the modern Christian of convenience.

“It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of God” from the Bible appears in Matthew 19:24, Luke 18:25, and Mark 10:25. The phrase is used to describe how difficult it is for a wealthy person to enter heaven.

Im an ex christian but have a pretty decent understanding of the core requirements of being a christian.
Guess its easier to talk the talk then walk the walk.

What are merkins thoughts on tipping at a restaurant? Are you ballers that throw it around like crypto or do you tip when there's exceptional service only........................or do you never tip?
