Re: Bitcoin, crypto currencies, block chain

Where were you in December? LOL, you know nothing. Do you have a position on any of this? Or do you just like to troll?

I've been watching prediction after prediction of yours fail. When a failure gets so bad that it seems to deserve comment to set the record straight, I comment. You can think of me as a secure and logical person who wants to expose the truth.

For example, you predicted that Russia would take some of Eastern Ukraine at most. I am watching this prediction fail also but have not commented as of yet. However, if Russia moves very significantly past Eastern Ukraine to make this prediction as terrible as your bitcoin/gold prediction, I will probably feel a need to comment.

I wasn't aware of it until today, but you said over a year ago that you "have no problem being wrong at all, in fact I welcome it..."

When you are a secure and logical person who acts legitimate questions that expose the truth, you are always in the Socrates gadfly category and people don't like it. They project that word on you "right" when in reality if you are not a narcissist you are in fact just trying to get at what is true. People do not like their weak ideas to be exposed and it's even more uncomfortable for them to be confronted with this. In this sense, I've discovered even weak people, who you would think would be humble given their experiences in life, cannot plainly admit even that they might not know, or could be wrong. Instead they get hot and bothered, which only makes guys like me even more frustrated, because I would never continue if people just admitted that they need to do more research, perhaps reconsider, etc.

Friends have pointed out that the origin of this is typically insecurity from the way others are raised, their family relationships, and self esteem. I have no problem being wrong at all, in fact I welcome it to have an even stronger point of view --- but one final note here --- the same people who hate you for being "right" never remember that you actually are flexible and change your point of view when confronted with an explanation of X that better explains the world. Why? It doesn't stand out (like when they hate your superior logic or idea) and thus the opposite of recall bias, ignorance bias, rules the day.

Therefore, my posts about your wrong predictions should not bother you. You should welcome being reminded that you were wrong and be thanking me instead of scolding me.

Navigator, do you believe in the White Horse prophecy?

I know a Mormon and he is into protecting the US Constitution. He talks about it constantly. I support the US Constitution too. He treats it as a sacred document.

I have liked most Mormons I have encountered as people, but their religion is nonsense, the same playbook that Muhammad used to game other followers, get multiple wives (coincidence? I think not), and reinforce tribalism. Restoration religions are not only lying religions, they create made-up stories that are clearly false.

I'm not a Mormon but Mormonism is a great religion. You know as much about religion as you know about Bitcoin and you know it in basically the same way, as in, "My religion is the only right one and my cryptocurrency is the only right one." Pretty soon, you'll be saying your age is the only right one and the school you went to is the only right one. Oh, you've already done that too!

Speaking of playbooks and gaming, uh, Bitcoin is the same playbook used in hundreds of other financial cons games in case you haven't noticed. Oh, I think maybe you have.

on the side note talking about bitcoin and games, there are some really good clicker games like mouse click test, bitcoin billionaire, adventure capitalist etc. Obviously, no real money is involved but it really fun to play.

You can't be "wrong" about something when your prediction is a long term one and you aren't trading. I know you're obsessed with being stupid, but how many times does one have to delineate that investing and holding isn't "trading" - and I've never done the latter.

At most, I've DCA'd - go look that up - because of course when it was at 33k and I said I was buying again you didn't then call me correct about a "prediction" - showing your bias and dishonesty. BTC is doing just fine and will continue to.

This prediction has already failed. 8 months has come and gone. Others are due to fail and are being tracked, as they will soon fail.

[Guest]

This prediction has a near 100% probability of failure. An honest person would admit it has failed.

What’s the BTC forecast Cool?

Yes, it will reach 200k for sure in the coming years, I think it still reaches it in the next year regardless of what has happened the past few months.

It's been 9 months and two days since Cool Breeze forecasted that Bitcoin would reach 200K "in the next year".

Bitcoin is 39K this morning.

You always say you're buying more. You said you were buying more at 57K and 42K too. Those weren't predictions, just throwing good money after bad. Your buy at 33K will prove to be throwing good money after bad soon enough.

I'll be taking in a drink with an umbrella in the sun in South America, and you know what, I'll buy you one too when you come down and we have all the fiat we desire to make local transactions because we have BTC as collateral, backing the stupid fiat that others take, because they didn't have the foresight to recognize the soundest money and network effect of all time.

Bitcoin doesn't exist without the internet.

The internet depends on undersea cables that could easily be destroyed by natural or man made forces.

Show me your bitcoin when the grid goes down.

http://isciencemag.co.uk/features/relyi ... -internet/

Yes it does, in mesh networks and even ham radios. This is known. Let's do our homework.

When the internet goes down, you're going to have a mesh network in South America and using bitcoin to buy drinks?

Are you a fiction writer? This stuff is not realistic at all.

Just like nuclear war and Mad Max scenarios spoofed around here all the time too, lol

If the SHTF it's all "crazy" so most of it doesn't matter. You gonna eat your gold? Ha

You were the one who answered that you would use a mesh network to the comment about the internet going down. If you didn't think the comment was relevant because it's too "Mad Max", you should have answered that the internet going down isn't a problem, don't worry about it. By saying that you have considered mesh networks to protect your bitcoin, you gave validity to the nuclear war and Mad Max scenarios. My assumption had to be that you believe what you said.

And, let's not forget, you are the guy who was interested in using old microwave ovens as Faraday cages, showing that you're really "out there" as far as expecting "Mad Max", further out than most of the posters here.
