I said it was "tulips" back when it was $50.00 per bitcoin, but a lot of people with more money than me has taken years to figure out that this stuff always was "tulips."

Market crashes tend to expose Ponzi schemes. Some Crypto currencies seem to qualify as Ponzis.

Criminals and speculators hurt the worst.

You know Democrats have got to be upset about this.

In 2019-19 it went from $20k to $3.9k. An equivalent drop now would put the bottom around $12-13k.

I would never suggest anyone buy any. But it’s been declared dead a lot of times. And it’s come back.

Who knows?

This news does not affect me. Yes, I own Bitcoin, a lot of Bitcoin. But it’s all of the chocolate variety. And chocolate prices have been rising, not falling. If only my stocks were doing as well.

Crypto and Biden are both symptoms of a larger disease.

Where are the articles about short-sellers of crypto? Please post links.
Yes, I am trying to be funny. This whole virtual currency thing is just more proof of PT Barnum’s wisdom.
Is there a crypto named “Sucker Coin”?

You did miss buying at $50, then selling at $69,000, and retiring a decamillionaire… just sayin’

I knew Bitcoin was doomed when I started seeing Bitcoin ATM’s in shady connivence stores, and poor people were converting the little cash they had into Bitcoin.

30K was huge support and when it smashed through that the support was 20k and it smashed that. The Micro Stategy geniuses who bought of a huge number of coins @ 40k, are probrably getting a huge margin call on Monday. If they can’t meet it, forced liqidation of their position, causing more selling and lower prices.
