Anyone end up investing in Bitcoins?

the exchanges are the big thing, shut those down people are screwed unless their stuff is on a cold wallet. I currently keep my stuff in an exchange, may consider pulling out.

Would you buy into Biden’s digital dollar?

Digital dollars, on the other hand, would be traceable and programmable. The Federal Reserve (or some other designated entity) would have the ability to create more digital dollars whenever it sees fit, and, depending on how the legislation is written setting up the currency, the dollars could be formulated to have various rules and restrictions built into their design.

For example, a digital dollar could be crafted to restrict fossil-fuel use, to give bonuses to people for spending at particular businesses, to enact de facto price controls by disallowing users from spending too much on particular products, or even to redistribute wealth.

In one report about the development of a central bank digital currency published by the Federal Reserve in January, the Fed outlined a few examples of possible ā€œdesign choicesā€ for a digital dollar, including that ā€œa central bank might limit the amount of CBDC an end user could hold.ā€

I’m not sure if I would unless I was incentivized to, like it says ā€œbonusesā€. If I can buy say my groceries and save 15% or something.

As far as tracking goes I use my CC for literally everything, even my property taxes and IRS taxes, the small fee is worth stacking airline miles, so as far as being tracked I’m pretty much always tracked anyways. Yesterday was the first time I’ve used cash in probably 6 months (busy ass bar, just easier).

I don’t even use the digitcal currency I have now, I just keep HODL’ing hoping I can unload it in the future for big FIAT dollars.

I guess I’d be willing to do whatever increases my net worth.

EDIT - I’m assuming it would be legal tender then.

another exchange takes a shit, bitcoin down to 15k

I haven’t looked but I bet I’m still up :ok_hand:

Apparently anyone who has invested since 2017 is now down lol

but everything including the stock market rocketed back up this morning so who knows

I know a lot of people get on crypto when it drops but it seems to correlate to the stock market pretty well.

BTC is down 60% from its ATH, which is still better than Netflix, Meta (facebook) and a lot of other well known stocks.

FTX DEAD, Gemini haulting rewards withdrawls, BlockFI DEAD

I left all my stuff on coinbase. If they go under the industry is over so no point in moving it off

@boxxa I hope you made millions and got out a long time ago!

I thought everyone used binance

but on a serious note, Binance was originally a Chinese company but moved out of China. CZ (their ceo) has been criticized for being a bit shady. Their books are not audited and it is believed they have more liabilities than assets to cover said liabilities.

Coinbase is a publicly traded company scrutinized by the SEC. They have a 1:1 asset to liability ratio

if coinbase goes under you’ll be able to buy a bitcoin for 2010 prices.

wow didnt know that. Just used them because they had cheaper transaction prices

Former CEO of FTX arrested. My boys Tyrone & Cletus is waiting for him down in Guantanamo Bay. Cock meat sandwich for three meals a day.

Who knew there were so many dead coins?

I’m surprised the number isn’t higher. There’s a new coin generated every couple of hours usually, a lot of stuff having to do with what’s going on in the news as pump and dumps.

Latest one was about the FTX CEO being jailed, cant remember the coins name.
