I’m up 21% on my MARA position since this morning. You small little fuckers can’t hold my balls, let alone attempt to out crypto me. Building on my newly found success in Bitcoin proxy plays, I stepped in here and bought GROW and XNET with my short sales proceeds realized earlier today.
Fly from 1 month ago would’ve slapped the shit out of today’s Fly for buying said stocks. Then again, Fly from 1 month ago was a god damned loser — moping about the internets, mad at invisibl RARE PEPE’s.
I bought both GROW and XNET because I liked their charts.
Yeah, indeed.

Anyone ever tell you that you have a flair for writing?
So I take it you bought my new book and left a 5 star review?

Ordered the paperback
Just ordered it and even paid $3.99 extra to get it by Friday. Leaving for vacation on Saturday morning so I’ll read on my flight and on the beach. Will review. Can I do more than 5?
This is so retarded. All of you have gone mad here. VOC bubble look out. Little crypto bubble just shit its diaper.
“Bitcoin has all the same attributes of gold in that it’s scarce, there’s a finite supply, it’s fungible, it’s highly divisible, it can’t be counterfeit,” he says, “but it has one real improvement over gold, which is its utility.” Gold is good for jewelry and use in some industrial production processes, but as the price increases, it becomes less useful for both those uses, he says, “whereas Bitcoin, on the other hand, actually becomes more useful. It becomes more useful as a [money transfer] rail and as a ledger [of financial transactions].”
Today, the total value of gold rounds up to about $7 trillion, while the market cap of Bitcoin the day I spoke to Silbert was about $5 billion (it’s $6.5 billion as of press time). If, in periods of economic dislocation, people put their money into Bitcoin the way they’ve historically done with gold and Treasuries, the price of Bitcoin could rise, surmises Silbert: “If you look at what happened during the Greece crisis [when the price of Bitcoin rose past $300], the Bitcoin price went up, and I think there is reason to believe that Bitcoin — as a store of value, as a speculative investment — would perform well in periods of dislocation or distress.” If so, he presents a hypothetical: If just 5% of the $7 trillion in gold moved into Bitcoin, that would boost its value by $350 billion. “So that would be a 70x increase in the price of Bitcoin if just 5% of gold, which, again, is just one use case, moves into Bitcoin.”
Lee of BTCC says the best way to think about Bitcoin’s value is per capita. And again, that puts it in a favorable light against gold. Right now, Bitcoin worth less than $1 per person worldwide, whereas gold, which Lee calls “a so-called disregarded asset class that no one wants to talk about, the dirty four-letter word G-O-L-D” is about $1,000 per person. But, he estimates that perhaps over the next few decades, Bitcoin’s value could skyrocket to $1,000 per person or higher, giving it a market cap of more than $7 trillion — almost 1,100 times what it is today.”

The world doesn’t do things just because you think it should be that way.
You are my hero except for lack of golf game. Someday you will learn to golf instead of nap.
Love it…
Not sure how to interpret Fly jumping onto the crypto bandwagon…feels sort of like my aunt calling me back in November “99 to tell me she just bought internet stocks. They all tanked for good the following month…
I’ve been reading this exact phrase nearly daily for at least a year.
Normally I’d agree but I think the insanity has still a ways to go
Well, its the 1st time I’ve said it…and I’ve been long BTC/cryptos for most of the year.
An ironic sequel to this would have to be if his next book was titled, “How I Lost a Fucking Fortune in Bitcoin Proxies, While Bitcoin Sprinted to the Moon”.
“The days of my swashbuckling are rounding near an end. This sort of sordid trading is for ape-faced degenerates. I’m much happier basing my investments off grander theories, one’s using mathematical formulas and data that I can chew on.”

“I BOUGHT TWO MORE BITCOIN PROXY PLAYS”
– Fly, 3 hours later
LOL!
his monsanto gmo and round-up veggie diet did not last very long either. something to do with adhd.
You mean he’s got ADH…Oh, Shiny!
Didn’t he technically say he’d stop river boat gambling in the new year?
Gotta get it out of your system.
7 of his last 10 posts were about bitcoin. He’s caught the fever.
The huge runup in bitcoin makes no sense. There is nothing there.
It is useless as a medium of exchange. It takes hours to clear and each coin is hundreds of gigs in length. Why own any if you can’t even use them?
The only crypto-coin that will survive is one that clears instantly so you can actually buy stuff with it, and one that keeps a stable value.
Crypto is a test. The ultimate experiment of some kind. Napoleon.
That would be Ripple.
$MARA tanking after hours … FLY is now desperate gambler buying any shit, PIKER
bitcoin top is in… how do I know you ask ? THE FLY is a buyer today, jumping in with all the losers who have no idea what they are buying, mark it down the FLY top ticked it, amazing market timing.
For a real belly laugh, check out MARA financials.

Fly,
It took you just three hours to overcome scolding yourself for recent discretionary ventures to jump on the bit coin proxy names. Love it.
That’s called being humbled by the markets. Fly’s got a blogger here who has been making crypto calls for over a year. Instead Fly went full Trump full Anti-crypto. Time well spent.
$MARA to $30 by end of week.
feels like we are in the final inning of bitcoin, at least before a major correction. i got in rare earth metals in about the 4th inning years ago and sold in the 9th. Feels about the same right now for crypto. Made some money off the weed pennies too. A much more interesting topic would be what people think the Next bubble will be. Fly had this question up years ago and there were some great responses. At that there was biotech. Range trading IPOs on their public offering day. Palladium. The next bubble?
Given the internet, the population of the world, and the fact that just about anyone with computer access or a smartphone can set up a bitcoin wallet, I’d say the bubble is just getting started. It’s like stocks—-the mainstream public has to sucked in (“adoption “) before we get a crash.
