Bitcoiners like to say "don't trust, verify" but some love to trust their favorite influencer. 🤣

Ясно, спасибо. Было любопытно, о чём ты сетуешь, почему все статисты, а оказывается, дело в малом количестве enemy of the state или хотя бы биткоин-максималистов. Остальных ты, видимо, спросил, государственники ли они, или записал их в таковые автоматически.

Я тебе ничего особенного не хотел сказать. А спросил, что случилось, что не нравится в местных Russians. И что сделать, чтобы это исправить. Теперь знаю: надо создать анонимный npub, поставить аватарку с лазерами из глаз и писать, что фиат это вселенское зло, государства враги, биткоин это спасение, и так далее. RESISTANCE! FREEDOM! BITCOIN!

Good morning #nostr 🌅

Да лан, я ещё не начинал доебываться. Ты мне пожалуйста объясни, дураку, что же за слово такое statist, и чем оно отличается от "русского слова". Не очень понимаю, зачем ты жалуешься местной фауне на малое количество русских statist в Ностре, вот и спрашиваю, чем же тебя этот факт не устраивает)) Доебался бы я иначе, уж поверь, Русский Биткоинист

А чего ты ожидал? Чтобы не быть статистом, надо быть как ты кем? Русским или биткоинистом? Или может русским биткоинистом)))

Why are you on nostr?

It seems the sarcasm was lost...the nature of text based replies...

We are not ALL trying to do something. Bitcoin is pretty straightforward after the learning curve. It is money. It is a payment network. It is code.

I am not trailing anyone, or anything. By using the phrase "outpace" you are categorizing bitcoin as a traditional investment, and comparing it to all the other traditional investments. I agree completely that bitcoin does "outpace" all the other traditional investments, albeit with the risk and volatility. However, I do not try to correlate, or compare, anything to bitcoin because it is the first invention of its kind. I treat it as its own category and have spent years refining my material to explain this to people new to the idea.

Contrary to who's or what belief, about the foundation being more solid? I have always stated that the foundation of bitcoin is nearly indestructible. It is the people, and all their flaws, that cause the cracks in the societal use of bitcoin. The code itself is solid, and I have always said so. The bitcoin foundation is more solid than gold or real estate because those are both physical items that are at the risk of societal and environmental changes. Bitcoin however, lives in code, and does not have that risk.

The unpredictable factor, is yet again, your attempt to bring bitcoin into the traditional investing world. Bitcoin is absolutely predictable: tick tock next block. At year 2140, no more mining, halving every ~4 years or 210,000 blocks.

What you are referring to as being unpredictable is the price of the bitcoin. Fluctuating market conditions are a construct of a man made markets, subject to manipulation. People do not follow their self interest, they follow emotions. Emotions are always manipulated. It is rare and disciplined investor than can forego emotions and make decisions as logically.

Bitcoin maximalists do not reveal 100% of their portfolios because, just like traditional financial professionals, they do not want to be subject to scrutiny. I will bet a majority of bitcoin maximalists also hold a diverse, well rounded portfolio of traditional stocks, bonds, own businesses, real estate, etc.

You are telling people to become bitcoin maximalists, and the artwork in your posts suggest a cult like obedience. I am suggesting people become educated, informed, well rounded, diversified.

Your opinion is a shitcoin

это забавно

After being in bitcoin for nearly 10 years, I have to thank you for clarifying that I do not understand it. I guess the moves I've made, and the people I've helped are doomed to suffer from the ignorance I've demonstrated.

I also thank you for calling out the "poor investments" of my diversified portfolio. I guess after investing for half my life in a variety of profitable, exciting things that both provide services, and enrich my life, and the lives of those that worked with me...I still don't understand.

Money is never a goal for me, it was always a tool, to learn, to be used, for the purposes of whatever the project was at the time. It is about the things money can buy, and the freedom it can bring to you and others you share wealth with. But...I just don't understand.

I guess real estate does not do that. It doesn't provide homes for people. It doesn't provide space for people to open a business, and sure doesn't provide land to productively farm.

You're also right in that gold and silver do not provide liquidity, and do not have a history of being reliable. I guess if you decide to sell your bullion today, when you walk down to the local store, they'll turn you away and tell you to get those shitcoins out of there, and come back when you are selling bitcoin.

Thanks for clarifying all that.

Gold and real estate are not shitcoins. When maximalists of any sort go all in on one thing, the risk is much greater. Most of the world are not risk takers, and do not want to really learn the different between money and currency. Gold and bitcoin are money. Real estate is not money, but a good store of value.

There is no logical reason not to be diversified into all of these. Include silver, buying businesses, and building a business yourself.

This, along with investing in your own education, is a realistic, strong plan to diversify against risk.
