Number go up...

[–]coinminingrig 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At least he understood “line keeps going up”.

[–]K0rbenKen0bi 26 points27 points  (18 children)

It's it number go up? Or everything else go down?

[–]soks86 27 points28 points  (5 children)

Not necessarily.

There's always more stuff, never more BTC, that's enough for it to go up.

[–]urbanmark 14 points15 points  (0 children)

BTC is one cake with 2 quadrillion slices

[–]Analog_AI 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s a profound way to look at it long term.

[–]jeffert615 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Yeah that's one way to put it. That's what I mean by algorithm tho. That's what the halving is about. There's only so much BTC that will ever be mined and then it's done. So every 4 years the Blockchain cuts the rate that you can mine BTC from it in half. Thus creating scarcity and value. I don't have the link to the original post I had mentioned but I can find a screenshot I'm sure. Basically dude was saying that so far after each halving, BTC has p much done a 100x. he had a chart to go with. Maybe someone else remembers what I'm talking about and can Link it somewhere in the thread.

[–]Bozzooo 20 points21 points  (1 child)

There’s only 21,000,000 million Bitcoins in existence. 2.5 million Bitcoins are lost.

On the other hand, there’s is UNLIMITED amount of fiat currency, USD, EU, Lira, CAD JPY, etc. Printers are working overtime as we speak! Plus, the “other” system is old, dinosaur age. Bitcoin solved a lot of economical and social political structures. One can truly be free from gatekeepers of financial systems..

[–]ego_sum_satoshi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

21 million by May 7th, 2140 AD. By then, a significant amount will be inaccessible. True deflationary currency.

[–]jeffert615 19 points20 points  (9 children)

I'm no expert (so please feel free to pick this apart and help me learn more cause this stuff evolves and changes p much daily but at least weekly) but in my opinion from what I can see across America at least. I think everything is collapsing slowly and as everything else "goes down" people are starting to give up on American money and nothing has value really if it's an valued in the American dollar (and I don't say that to be factual. It's just my opinion. Since we came off the gold standard and printed more money nonstop for Like 40-60 years or so since. I just think USD is worthless tbh and increasingly worthless as time progresses which is why I got into BTC in the first place.) So now all these die hard that only did stocks or real estate and never believed in or knew enough about crypto that just stuck to those guns, those are the people flopping rn. I really do think BTC has the potential to completely devalue several if not most of even all individual country currencies. So I guess in a way as things like stocks crash, and real estate crashes, and inflation has crippled anyone using that inflated currency all that's gonna stop and more and more people will turn to BTC and Blockchains and etc finally because they almost have no choice. BTC going up (and especially right now through these big crashes and markets crashing like ftx. I've heard speculation that Binance might be about to tank as well. several others as well but idk how much to believe.) Is caused by people flocking to BTC rn cause it's the only thing stable rn. And that Bitcoin halving is coming up next march, I'm expecting a potential 100x according to another post from this sub, but realistically I'm only planning for a potential 50x. So low-key BTC is the only thing stable or going up. USD, fiat currencies (which is the real scam) backed by banks, all all these banks and ponzy scheme crypto exchanges and altcoins and blah blah blah they're all tanking trying to hang on to the dying USD. Finally those diehards are switching over and we're experiencing growth currently because everything else is tanking rn has tanked recently or has potential to tank at any second really. Thats just markets tho numbers wise, and algorithmically, BTC is designed to increase its value by creating its own scarcity which is supposed to cause the value to grow all in its own.

Sorry if all that's confusing and jumbled together friend, in summary: The growth or "going up" we're currently experiencing rn in my opinion has p much nothing to do with algorithm (although BTC IS designed essentially to constantly scale and increase its own value already) and everything to due with failing economies and companies "going down" or even all together just full on tanking, outside of itself. The rest of that "going up" will come later over time.

[–]jeffert615 1 point2 points  (0 children)

sorry bruh btc is all i do. im a little passionate

[–]BGak47 1 point2 points  (1 child)

What about to say is not trying to be a dick but instead a push to get you to the next level.

You see you are talking about “planning for potential 50x” in what? The USD you just said is failing? If everything in the world costs 50 times more (in usd) by the time BTC is 50x higher in USD terms will you be happy? Mathematically you will be no different wealth wise as you are today.

What you need to plan for is potential cost of products and services being worth 1/50th of today’s price in BTC. If you are not using BTC as your unit of account then you are just calculating in failing currencies.

[–]skyhermit 15 points16 points  (2 children)

Is that sub satire or real? I can't tell anymore

[–]Jacked_1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's a vicious cycle.

It goes through both stages.

It's a source for a good laugh from time to time though.

What is said above is based on historical data.

[–]Jazzlike_Ability_631 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's real. They hate crypto for some reason

Isn't this exactly the building blocks of their sub lol

[–]puddlepirate64 521 points522 points  (75 children)

Looking at the Buttcoin mods history is the most serious opportunity loss porn you'll ever see. These dudes been hating since sub 100 BTC. These are some of the saddest creatures on the Internet.

[–]BeansBakerNumber5 276 points277 points  (32 children)

If you had bought $100 of bitcoin on the day the arr buttcoin sub was founded, you'd have $222k today.

[–]sweetsimplesauce 110 points111 points  (11 children)

Your numbers are off. It's closer to $900k as bitcoin's price was under $5 when the buttcoin sub was founded.

[–]ShakeXXX 27 points28 points  (2 children)

[–]CraftyDazza 17 points18 points  (7 children)

Yea and as soon as it hit 1000 everyone here would have sold.

[–]Expert-Hamster-3146 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I would’ve sold at $4.90 at this time in my life

[–]bootmeng 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I didn't. Still sitting on my stash I accumulated at sub $11.

[–]avantartist 60 points61 points  (1 child)

Yeah they’re just sour FOMO

[–]Tengoles 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Except a lot of them actually missed out.

[–]nn_marbas 30 points31 points  (8 children)

Their argument is now, that BTCs price is not in USD but in "Tether units", which they say is not backed by or convertible into USD at all. If cognitive dissonance pain grows too strong the mind will use any escape hatch it can find I guess.

[–]capturendestroy 28 points29 points  (6 children)

They also think that exchanges no longer allow us to sell bitcoin for cash. They think we can only exchange our bitcoin for tether and other stablecoins. "You can't cash out, so the only direction is up!"

[–]wattzson 16 points17 points  (4 children)

"Are you sure you are cashing out to a fiat bank like chase or boa and not a stable coin?"

from /u/i-can-sleep-for-days

That user is actually so fucking dumb that they assume we're not smart enough to tell if we know the difference between fiat and stable coins....

That sub blows my mind. It has got to be the largest gathering of the smallest IQs on the internet.

[–]Jinxplay 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Hmm... are we sure that we can cash out what we put in a bank?

[–]Rice-Fragrant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got banned from it and all I ever tried doing was to educate them on the fiat system…. I rarely ever actually talked about bitcoin specifically.

Buttcoiner members worship the fiat system and the FED is their high priest.

Buttcoiners make good little fiat debt slaves.

[–]EUROHODLER 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Truth. They completely reject the idea that technology evolves that use cases aren’t always obvious at the start and adoption takes time. Then they have the balls to call us stupid.

[–]DaVirus 45 points46 points  (7 children)

I can't actually believe that none of them bought any just in case, or out of spite.

They have too much investment in the trash talking to not have any skin in the game.

[–]Jumana-Gato 37 points38 points  (4 children)

At least 1 of the mods lost his private keys. Which is why he’s so sour. Before he realized I was a bitcoiner he said that. Then when he realized I was he blocked me.

If your 12/24 words derive from bip39 then you can take an extra step of security by writing down the associated number for each word instead of the actual word. Useful incase someone stumbles upon you list they will just see a bunch of numbers. Google bip39 list of 2048 words.

I bet there are people there who are holders but are making an effort to spread FUD so they can continue stacking cheap sats. To claim Bitcoin is dead for the X,XXXth time just seems completely insane (though I don't doubt some of them are actually insane).

Or it's some weird masochist fetish lol.

[–]imcubix 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s similar to the sick thrill that keeps wsb alive.

[–]Self_Blumpkin 4 points5 points  (6 children)

Nah that sub is pure gold. You’re just not regarded enough

[–]JJJaxMax 2 points3 points  (3 children)

I regularly post to buttcoin and enjoy it.

I just assume everyone there that actually hates crypto is salty from losses or being late, but I’m not hating.

[–]Self_Blumpkin 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I was talking about Wall Street Bets (WSB) that the commenter above me was talking about.

But yeah, agree on buttcoin.

Also similar to r/vinylcirclejerk where we make fun of the absurdity of people who take vinyl records too seriously or not serious enough and almost everything in between. But we all like vinyl.

[–]No_Rest_9653 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could understand not being interested in BTC. I don't understand hating it so badly that you commit your time to trying to find everything that is wrong with it while it continues to climb.

[–]TheReveling 170 points171 points  (17 children)

I’ll never understand any of these subs that exist just to hate on something. Go find something you enjoy, stop living in negative energy all the time.

[–]Wise-Application-144 137 points138 points  (10 children)

It's psychological projection.

When we have an inner battle over something, we tend to project it externally. So it feels like the battle is happening outside, but really it was happening with you.

All the Christian anti-gay preachers who turn out to be gay, all the pedophile hunters who turn out to be pedophiles etc.

The external conflict is really just the tip of the iceberg - they're obsessed with it because it's this ever-present inner tension. And because it's unresolved, that's why they keep coming back to it, why it takes up so much of their attention. They're really just trying to talk themselves out of it.

We all hate countless things, right? But we don't spend hours of each day waging war against them.

If someone hates something and argues against it when it comes up naturally in conversation, that's normal.

But if someone is consumed by hating it, invests huge amounts of time in fighting it, it's a big sign that a part of them is secretly into it.

[–]No-Specialist6273 105 points106 points  (3 children)

Yup those people are totally gay for Bitcoin

[–]Global13 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I’ve owned bitcoin and Tesla for years. Good explanation of what seems to happen everyday in media and the internets. Makes it weird to own these…but also entertaining

[–]Wise-Application-144 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I can top that - I own bitcoin, Tesla, and an actual Tesla I bought with my Tesla profits!

Half of Twitter think I'm the antichrist.

I've only had positive interactions IRL over the Tesla. A lot of curiosity and questions asked in good faith.

I think it's a vocal but small minority of basement-dwellers who invest their time in waging keyboard wars against stuff like this.

[–]Neven_Niksic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The thing with endless crusading is that, if you don't eventually get tired of it, you have problems. If you don't already have problems, you'll get them soon enough.

[–]Chasethemac 25 points26 points  (5 children)

At a glance from a birds eye view its a growing network of users that's downtime is essentially 0 over a decade.

The vast majority of people hating on it as hard as they are do it from an unlogical emotional place.

    [–]trufin2038 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    You need a tiny bit of it... if only to decide what to use your logic for.

    But tbh most people think they are using logic, and that everyone else is emotional.

    I think the biggest problem is not lack of logic, but using bad logic and being incapable of or unwilling to learn.

    [–]Jacked_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    They might as well. It's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of "Buttcoin". It's a circle of people that are butthurt about something.

    [–]RevengeRabbit00 34 points35 points  (12 children)

    Do buttcoiners think ftx IS bitcoin? Do they think bitcoin is controlled by these entities? Bitcoin just is. That’s the beauty of it.

    [–]killertimewaster8934 18 points19 points  (9 children)

    These are the same guys who will unironically refer to bitcoin as stock lol

    [–]cereal7802 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm sure a decent number of them think that these are just companies that work with bitcoin and because they work with it, they fail. This in their minds is a result of using bitcoin and other crypto and not the result of shady practices outside of the rules of the bitcoin network. In each case the failure is in the layer above bitcoin, and not in the bitcoin network itself. That is what they miss with this, either willfully or out of ignorance.

    [–]BTC-maxi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    they think the price is entirely propped up by Tether. It's useful for them to think that since it's pretty much unfalsifiable. It would be interesting if Tether did fall what they'd use as an excuse after that

    [–]Dynamite-Areolas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

    Makes me wonder if there’s significant overlap between butt-coiners and flat-earthers 🤣

    I remember seeing threads of them rejoicing when it lost $20k. Posts like: “here we go boys!”.

    It’s amazing really. The asset goes from literally nothing to trillions yet they celebrate when it’s ‘only’ in the hundreds of billions. What a strange bunch.

    [–]wattzson 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    Ya I occasionally browse that sub and have noticed the same thing.

    When bitcoin is going down they are celebrating as if they just won the world cup. The sub literally becomes 90% meme celebration posts.

    When bitcoin is going up they ignore it or make posts like the one above where they comfort each other by making up reasons it's up. ("because no one can sell it" "because it's controlled by a small group of oligarch")

    When bitcoin is in consolidation they post about shitcoins and NFTs.

    [–]cereal7802 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    They are similar to sports team fans, or people who build their identity on a political party. they will shout and scream that they are right, you are wrong and bad because you think something else. They will deny and ignore any evidence you bring them to support your argument and will provide little if any evidence from their side. In the end they don't want to admit they were wrong, ever. They cannot grasp the concept of being partially right and partially wrong so at every turn, they are right and you are wrong. Admitting being wrong about any one aspect means the rest of what they said is wrong too, so never give an inch.

    I have been wrong about bitcoin on a number of occasions. So have a lot of bitcoin supporters. I will admit I don't have a full grasp of how it works and the math behind it, or how the market for bitcoin works. bring me evidence supporting your view point and i will consider it. I highly suggest more bitcoin users take the same stance. We are better for it.

    [–]Orange21Green 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      These guys are seriously retarded. I commented on a post about money laundering the other day saying something like.

      Crypto came before money laundering. Money laundering is a result of crypto. There was no money laundering before crypto.

      They downvoted me to oblivion and brought the goons out. I came back saying

      Oh, were those statements not true?

      Simply by arguing with me, they have confirmed they know my statements aren't true. And thus negating their own argument. They don't understand this. Idiots.

      Crypto came before money laundering. Money laundering is a result of crypto. There was no money laundering before crypto.

      These are obviously false statements.

      They downvoted me to oblivion

      Yeah, people tend to downvote comments saying obviously false things.

      Why didn't you say what you meant instead? Then people could actually reply in good faith. If you make a false or sarcastic statement, you're probably going to get a low quality response.

      Oh, were those statements not true?

      They aren't true.

      And thus negating their own argument.

      This doesn't negate their argument though. The argument is simply that money laundering is easier when AML regulations can be circumvented.

      You might disagree that cryptocurrencies can help circumvent AML regulations, or you might disagree that helping circumvent AML regulations actually increases money laundering in practice. If you said one of those things, there might have been a better discussion.

      +1 over here! There was a time when I didn’t like this sub because I wasn’t too much into Bitcoin. I then went on to Buttcoin to see find some legitimate criticism but boy, all I found was swarms of violently dumb and hateful people. At least since then I know that love or hate bitcoin, those into it are in fact the main characters lol.

      [–]wattzson 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      +1 Here also.

      I went to that sub years ago looking for valid arguments against bitcoin when I was still on the fence about it. iirc I was banned for mentioning the fact that eventually bitcoin, along with everything, will run off of renewable energy. It's a simple fact - we either switch to renewable energy or we eventually run out of fossil fuels but if you say anything that isn't a direct insult to bitcoin, you're banned.

      Still haven't found a valid argument against bitcoin btw

      Do they not realize that crypto exchanges have been collapsing since the very start? 😂

      [–]CageMyElephant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      Dude thats got to be one of the strangest subs to be a member of lol

      [–]katiecharm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Buttcoin used to be a place you could go and rationally debate crypto.

      These days the mods are bratty children who will bait you into going there by tagging you and reposting your topics, and if you do go there they will lord over you the fact they are mods and tell you that you’re not allowed to advocate for crypto, unless you do it specifically by their rules of arguing.

      It’s all so petty and disgusting. Then they will inevitably ban you for disagreeing, and when you tell them to go fuck themselves in their stupid mod chat, they’ll report you to the admins and you will likely lose your account.

      Fuck them. And fuck their useless subreddit. They were spouting the same stupidity in 2014 when Bitcoin was $200 and they have been wrong more and more every day since.

      Honest to God I cannot understand the existence of that sub. It's like I hate something, say dog poop, then I join an anti-dog poop subreddit and pour my heart out? Like do I really have nothing else better to do?

      When will they learn that exchanges have nothing to do with what bitcoin is

      [–]davidlootfield 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      And it’s a cycle, the more Bitcoin goes up, the more gains they don’t have, so the more mad and bitter they get.

      [–]CrispinDeGlover 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      FTX + Celsius + Voyager ≠ Bitcoin

      [–]loady 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I actually joined that sub for a bit hoping to hear some legitimate criticism, and figure out if I was leaning on weak arguments or assumptions. But I never read anything but bitterness and rote stupidity

      [–]sylsau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      In a sense, you could say he was right: he doesn't understand the why of Bitcoin.

      If he had understood the why of Bitcoin, he would have understood that Bitcoin's goals are longer term and that these scams need to be purged in order to get the market going again in the next cycle.

      [–]sescobreezy727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Fiat is unlimited. End

      [–]FrizzlerOnTheRoof 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Buttcoin:

      - Don't believe in bitcoin <- Fine, each his own

      - Want bitcoin to crash and burn because they didn't buy it <- Why?

      It's such a negative perspective. To hate stuff. Chose something to like, not something to hate.

      [–]crypto10169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      All those you mention going down went down due to mismanagement and greed not because of Bitcoins fault, bitcoin is freedom simple as that, and let this be a hard reminder of NOT YOUR KEYS NOT YOUR COINS, NEVER leave your coins on exchanges..

      [–]700akn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      For those who don't understand the future of money and Bitcoin, I suggest reading or listening to "The Bitcoin Standard".

      The first seven chapters barely mention Bitcoin as the author wants people to understand the essence of money, the first coins, their history, etc...

      The author does a good job explaining how "money" including precious metals, fiat and Bitcoin have been and are now used. He also speaks about the banking industry and other facets of govt controlled assets.

      [–]TorgoNUDH0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      If only you could control your own keys instead of them being hosted 'securely' on another man's computer. I could worry less about what people are saying about bitcoin.

      The same day that I discovered that page is the same day I got blocked lol.

      [–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (2 children)

      One guy told me to have fun staying poor. I bought more right after that comment. Btc was around 16k-17k.

      [–]Jumana-Gato 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Lol magnificent. My lowest buy this bear market was $17,225. I always seem to run out of trash cash when bitcoin actually finds it’s bottom bottom.

      [–]RepresentativeOdd981 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Tried to tell em'.

      [–]coffeedrinkinfool 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Aput 90% of Bitcoin isn’t on an exchange. It’s held in wallets like physical gold. It’s good enough that the holders refuse to sell it. Have fun staying poor.

      [–]Truthsayer1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Why do we keep getting paid in dollars if banks are collapsing

      [–]Electrical-Rich-2009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Those miserable losers have nothing better to do than constantly monitor something they hate for no good reason that isn’t affecting them.

      [–]MunchieMofo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      They can’t be so serious about their ignorance? Can they?

      [–]godofleet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      its funny really, they can talk a day long about how it is going to zero... but they can't deny NGU lol...

      [–]SlipperRich 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Oh so they just truly don't get it... I feel like I knew that already but this guy just proved it lol.

      [–]WallStLegends 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Lol fucking haters. Im just sad Im on the sidelines for all of this. But let’s go!

      [–]Lezonidas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Don't worry, when bitcoin falls from 140k to 50k they will be there to laugh at us.

      [–]milestone79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Tell me that you don´t understand Bitcoin without telling me you don´t understand Bitcoin.

      [–]Visdiabuli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Ah those salty tears..

      [–]One_Lingonberry_7712 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      starts with 'i really dont understamd'
      proceeds to toot its opinion and finds followers. love online subcultures

      [–]N8KE_XD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I don't understand why collapsing exchanges should kill Bitcoin, lol. And I find it hilarious that he thinks that Binance is gonna fall soon. I'm using Bitfinex and keep my crypto in OWNR, but I understand that it's not gonna happen.

      [–]Yoghurt114 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Makes perfect sense: without dead weight to drag corn down, it goes up

      [–]BadSysadmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Whenever I feel bad about the opportunities I've missed, I cheer myself up by remembering that /r/buttcoin was created in 2011 when the prices was in single digit dollars. I wonder how the people who posted on there in the early days feel about mocking what turned out to be 10,000x investment?

      [–]ChillyMathew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      The post sounds so butthurt - but at least he is honest. He doesn't understand

      [–]BenjyMemeMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Frauds leaving the space is bullish long term. I don't get how this is hard to understand

      [–]CreditReavus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Isn’t that like asking why hasn’t the US dollar collapsed with all these banks going under?

      [–]TheUnstoppableBTC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      It’s almost as if there’s more to it than meets the eye.

      [–]oboshoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I remember when they were saying exactly the same thing when bitcoin hit $200.

      [–]pwinne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      These buttcoiners are clueless

      [–]Rice-Fragrant 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      I was dumb enough to think that the buttcoiner members had enough sense to see that the fiat debt fractional reserve system was a Ponzi scheme… they actually believed it to be the only legitimate system.

      Buttcoiner members are fiat maximalists, just a more normi version of shitcoiners… they are paper shitcoiners… many of them are also statists and believe in the system of authoritarianism… the FED is their high priest.

      [–]TheCommodore777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Why do nocoiners keep pointing to the collapse of centralized entities as proof of why a decentralized system won’t work?

      [–]Quintana_22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      [–]Johnpmusic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Haha i love when they get mad

      [–]fverdeja 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Buttcoiners are worse than cryptobros at separating Bitcoin from crapto casinos.

      [–]Sportfreunde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      I have zero trust of people who are against something which they can just ignore.

      I'm against fiat currency backed up by nothing but I can't ignore it. I'm against shitcoins as well but I can ignore them and most importantly, I have zero problem with people's freedom to trade or do what they want with them.

      These people have fascist tendencies though because they don't want to just ignore something, they want to enforce their preference on others by banning that thing whether it be bitcoin or trans people or some form of investment or whatever else they can leave perfectly well-alone.

      Not sure you understand technology. Good people and decentralization is the real war of the future

      Is that Jamie Dimon or Obama?? Toadiethug sounds more like Jamie

      [–]10ca1h0st -1 points0 points  (2 children)

      Likely due to the FED selling off a massive amount of silk road coin.

      https://cointelegraph.com/news/us-government-plans-to-sell-41k-bitcoin-connected-to-silk-road

      [–]UTultimate 1 point2 points  (1 child)

      Wouldn’t selling a massive amount decrease the price?

      That sub is one of the most dogmatic and one of the biggest echo chambers on Reddit and they don’t even realize it. Lol.

      Definitely, the Beauty of Bitcoin is that it is not for ignorants

      thats all literally the Bull case for Bitc0in

      [–]cl3ft 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      He should know this is just an anomaly this time and he should borrow 100k worth of bitcoin, sell it, and buy it back and repay the loan when it is 1k. Easy 99k profit!
