šÆ. I don't have no devices. Just some spare clean wiped phones that I will use to install a wallet, restore from a seed, and connect to my node via wire only when I will need to transact.
Keeping a loaded device is like converting bitcoin to gold and keeping it at home under a weaker lock than the original bitcoin seed. Ridiculous.
If this was done on a shitcoin - yes. In bitcoin - games on lifes and beliefs of good people are not funny (good are not the players, good are the scared observers not quite knowing what they are seeing).
I hope you understand that by the game I mean shorting big in a bad situation and publishing it to scare and fool all the small fish.
I don't know if any country could be insane enough to short bitcoin. Unless it is Germany again.
When you know you fucked up, you cut the losses. Thus one added collateral. He does not know yet.
It would be funny if the game happened at ATHs or better yet in shitcoins. At the bottom, you know that the game scares and hurts the most vulnerable fresh retail traders who do not quite know yet what they are doing, just think they do not have enough bitcoin. So the game is quite mean. It is like "ha ha ha we fcked the first graders". Except you are playing not in a simulation, but on true lifes, true beliefs, on people who maybe left their successful lifes in the fake matrix to pursue the hope of bitcoin after being rejected by all their close ones.
I managed to onboard a couple of relatives when Trump got elected at a price of 95k (all time high then). They came back to me after remembering my bitcoin preaching years ago. But nobody ever later. The SBR to everyone, even to rather high level directors sounds like a new type of engine in a Starship or something, i.e. they think "sth complicated, who apart from the engineers who understand it cares".
They only like high prices, I promise you. So it is all up to speculators to raise the prices based on CB action, as you correctly noted, and Strategy. People, including CFOs are just too proud to be sane. Low price choice in a supermarket is a shame, and they apply the same subconcious logic everywhere.
What people don't understand is that people don't like cheap stuff. Until Saylor buys another stack and pushes the price up, no new money is gonna come in, neither from people, nor from corporations, nor from shitcoins, nor from governments.
Without Saylor we are stuck here forever.
Do you realize, that anyone who still has fiat to buy the cheap sats now, has effectivelly been shorting bitcoin since Trump got in? True virtuous bitcoiners, aren't they?
And if the idea is to buy the sats on leverage, it is worth noting that once upon a time 100k seemed cheap, too...
I know one angle is pushing down the open interest. But c'mon, is it even necessary? Those on leverage are pretty exceptionally knowledgeable in everything, and worth honestly leading the world with bitcoin forward, and out of those who are on leverage in bitcoin only and not anything else, are total Gs. Burn the leverage of everything else. The unworthy cases will burn in hell with that even if they did have a small percent on leveraged bitcoin.
This is clearly a manipulated price, and I don't understand why it is needed. Sorry, but I don't buy the story that suddenly, after SBR announcement and at price of 75k,the original OGs with bags of thousands of BTC, suddenly decided to spend some more on Lambos.
I am sort of OK to give a little discount on Bitcoin for the new people growing up. But not too much and not for too long. That is keeping in mind that obviously I have not had fiat to buy the dips for myself for a while already.
But I certainly hate doing discounts for the undeserving cases, such that have no interpersonal skills, no ability to identify trustworthy people in time and act with their own money on it, such that want to jump into the train only after everyone are elected (against their vote for transchildren nonsense) and everything signed into law. Then they want cheap sats. It makes me sick giving discounts for these.
I mean, if you already had savings in at least 2021 (El Salvador, Trump Q and friends' hints, middle of covid and fiscal absurdities), you did not buy then, but want a discount now after strategic bitcoin reserve? How is that supposed to be fair?
Is this in youtube urls or where ir everywhere?
Anyway, thank you very much, this is good to know.
Yes, it is worse. The worse part is that the population (including scientists) were intentionally convinced into eating poison made of plants, real food (saturated fat and animal protein 50/50) demonized, light unharmful drugs such as nicotine and other components of tobacco, and caffeine and cocaine (both not in pure state) that help people to stay away from the worst drugs sugar and fiber - demonized and poisoned with additives and blamed for problems that plant food produce, all mass tragedies, both seemingly natural and artificial such as all wars manufactured intentionally to squeeze more profit and progress for themselves from the population. All crimes created ontentionally by deep state to keep the populations in constant fear and as a result retarded. These are just some examples.
