OT: Stock trading

The interesting thing here is they're not intended to be a "store" in value. They're not a commodity. They're intended to be a currency.

A currency without any underlying store of value?

 

[John Greene]

For those who do not understand crypto, three simple points.

1. Some thing have value in use others value in exchange. The two are not necessarily correlated.
2. Anything with very high value in exchange but low value in use will maintain its value as long as someone is willing to pay.
3 The is nothing wrong with 'greater fool' investing so long as you are not the 'greater fool'.

 

[August_West]

Yeah. Was thinking of @FriarJ I would unload it all now

HODL!

You mean like the US dollar?

 

[WestHartHusk]

You mean like the US dollar?

There might be a minor difference.

I'm jumping on ABML.

I'm still holding but been getting pummeled.

Ha, ask the people that stored their bitcoin on a flash drive years ago and can't find it or on Mt. Gox. I'd rather dig a hole in the back yard than store my savings in crypto. However, I will give you this, in countries where the banking systems are crap, it almost makes sense.

Interesting you bring this up though. I'm hearing stories of people who have their Doge currently held up on exchanges like Cryptopia. Can you imagine?

Just remember, not your keys, not your coins.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Got a chuckle out of this.

Well, say what you want about the full faith and credit of the US Treasury......but that counts for something.

Sure but it’s still a house of cards that can tumble.

Turns out I do understand crypto.

Totally trust crypto content from Adub. But that means you should let us know when the sell moment has come. I have no DOGE.

At a price below $1.30 pummeling is less of a risk.

There has to be companies who will make a kling in recycling and reclaiming rare metals required for future counting needs.

One thing the 'rona and confronting China and Russia have shown is US has major weakness in securing our own domestic supply chain.

 

[ClifSpliffy]

My son is in tech and while riding our bikes one day he tried to explain to me why crypto currencies are a legitimate store of value. For the life of me I can’t understand it.

I‘ve been in business and finance my entire career and I’ve accepted that this is something that is beyond my ability to comprehend.

Whatever. This is the favorite story of the uninformed. Talk to me in a few years- I’ll buy you gold dipped tulips.

 

[WestHartHusk]

which is?

A universe of contracts compelling payment in dollars; a large/affluent population paid and compelled to pay taxes in dollars; an army, navy and air force enforcing at least some portion of the world to use dollars. To name a few.

That is twice now you got it wrong. Suerte is feminine. Buena Suerte! Won't even comment on the rest.

What part of China were you raised?

 

[J187Money]

Sold out of DOGE - I have never been on one of those insane runups before. Have to do my job - can't stare at Robinhood all day

5.8x return - will have to live with that.

Yup I remember. Lol. BTC was at like 7k.

I’ll be the first to admit that I know jack about crypto. But, three years or thirty years mean nothing when a market moves. That happens almost at an instant.
