  1. In other words, defense contractors want more money.

  2. I notice the skeptics are getting less and less snarky over Bitcoin.
    77
  3. What is irrational is fiat money that can be printed out of nothing infinitely.
    74
  4. Just throw play money into Bitcoin. Don’t bet your house on it.
    49
  5. Capitalism led to full circle serfs slaving for their feudal lords.
    42
  6. Buying low; selling high is never as easy as it sounds. If it were, then everyone would have Lambos. Late comers regretted not getting in before 10K, and now that it’s here, they are too afraid to get in. And that’s why the big shots always win, because they can set aside that emotion and eat all the weak hands:

  7. Long form way of calling those guys old as turds lol.
    38
  8. Warren Buffett never said it was crap. He just doesn't understand it. He also does not understand ANY tech, which is why he doesn't invest in things like Google, Apple, and Amazon. Are those crap too?
    27
  9. You look back at old video, and the guy sitting next to the guest used to clown on Bitcoin. Now he low key is looking for cheaper alt coins for the next moonshot lol.
    27
  10. After he mentioned he owns 1 BTC, that girl looked thirsty AF.
    26
  11. People thought they missed the train at $100, then $1000, and then $10,000. The only way to guarantee you miss this train is by not hopping on. I can tell that 1 guy is starting to get real interested in it when he used to be a big skeptic. If only he just put in $50 early this year, then he'd be a skeptic with some nice pocket money.
    18
  12. Oh, they actually got someone that knows what they are talking about.
    16
  13. saveround how’s your farm doing?
    15
  14. Asking 5 college kids at a bar. Great sampling.
    14
  15. Rowan Gontier exchanges are vulnerable, that’s why you don’t leave your crypto on an exchange like a noob.
    11
  16. Yeah, she used to talk about Bitcoin with a raised brow, but now she is vicious like a HODLer.
    11
  17. winston wills have you been doing it since Bitcoin was $10?
    9
  18. TheMightyHarihar you can go ahead and try, but nobody is going to invest since you have no team or white paper.
    9
  19. Please. Companies were cutting jobs before the pandemic happened. This is just gaslighting to blame workers for the newly created shortage.
    9
  20. “Free market” will mean the world will be buried in plastic, because nothing else is cheaper to produce.
    9
  21. Or shift away from neoliberalism. Maybe wage slaves and eternal gdp growth at all costs isn’t working?
    8
  22. _ why should the wealthy care what little folk think of them?
    8
  23. That’s the intrinsic problem with neoliberalism. There must always be wage slaves. They must always be on the brink of homelessness, to optimize productivity for eternal gdp growth.
    7
  24. If he says BTC will go up, then why would he FODL?
    7
  25. Daniel Feldman because it is THE coin. Bitcoin beats all the other Alts consistently.
    6
  26. $4.99? The average person is bombarded with enough streaming subscriptions; who would pay for yet another one that seemingly offers less?
    6
  27. lol, +backspace4353 will believe anything any rich guy says because they would never lie. Here's a challenge, why not do the alleged Warren Buffet diet for a year and see how that works out for ya?
    5
  28. 95% of statistics are true 35% of the time.
    5
  29. You mean the "crash" that only lasted an hour?
    5
  30. Would a banker say anything else about something designed to make his industry obsolete?
    5
  31. Lol, by the time this guy starts using Bitcoin/crypto, all the money will have already been made.
    5
  32. Yup, they had to wait for their paymasters to get their ducks in a row. Spread FUD to drive down price, acquire crypto, then pump it back up with bullish news.
    4
  33. Why can’t people just admit they don’t know what crypto is? Why do they feel the need to bash it, and then backpedal? Just say you don’t fully understand it yet and nobody will judge. But if you come out, guns blazing, without anything to back you up, then you deserve criticism.
    4
  34. You can buy houses and Lambos with them.
    4
  35.  @yasinali3754  price arbitrage. Only a matter of time before the people getting priced out start looking to buy your homes for cheap.
    4
  36. At this point, may as well put it in Bitcoin or stay poor.

  37. The problem with dark chocolate is that the average American can't distinguish healthy dark chocolate with the confectionery kind, and they will opt for the better tasting kind (the more sugary one).
    3
  38. Why don’t people just give cash?
    3
  39. Cuz she is a genius. And correct.
    3
  40. You guys need to go back and read what communism means.
    3
  41. Lol, squeezing in Bitcoin just for the clickbait.
    3
  42. If you have no clients asking about crypto, then you have no clients...
    3
  43.  @oliverjohnson271  the beauty of Bitcoin is that’s so young and versatile, that it’s whatever you want it to be. Tesla doesn’t just buy $1.5 billion of it for fun.
    3
  44. Because he is basically describing all commodities. They are only worth what people are willing to pay for them. Like gold. If he called gold rat poison or a turd, you can be sure the goldbugs would come out swinging.

  45. +Cipher Tester, they are using hydro power. That's literally free energy.
    3
  46. They were there. But they seemed to take a day off on 1/6.
    3
  47. Guys like backspace4353 will listen to anything any rich guy says because they are always honest.
    2
  48. They are still lost lol.
    2
  49. Jacob Brown funny you bring up Cruz, seeing as how he hired Cambridge Analytica for his campaign.
    2
  50. I think they are referring to people that will own over 1,000 Bitcoins. You really trust yourself with that much? Lol
    2
  51. Or, you know, maybe it’s the $4.99 sub?
    2
  52. Looks like he changed his tune since then.
    2
  53. Doing her homework.
    2
  54. There’s going to be a lost generation. Instead of baby boomers, there will be a baby decline. Women, in particular, are paranoid as hell about this pandemic. And I doubt anyone wants babies in this environment.
    2
  55. Been juggling those chainsaws since 2009.
    2
  56. Crypto should be treated as a high risk investment with money you can afford to lose. If you have to take out a mortgage to buy it, THEN YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT.
    2
  57. Anything with value goes through bubble phases. Real estate and stocks have bubbles; yet, those are still around. In any investment, there will be winners and losers.
    2
  58. Diplomacy is cheaper.
    2
  59.  @st.charlesofaberdeen154  well, the US sees everyone around him as a piñata.
    2
  60. Then come back in 2029.
    2
  61. A company in the business of contributing to obesity rates. There's no such thing as a healthy snack." Whenever you put a solid into your body, you create a metabolic response, and enzymes like insulin are produced which cause you to gain weight. You should eat minimal but meaningful meals instead of snacking when you are bored.
    2
  62. Maybe retirees should get Ukraine citizenship so the US will give them money?
    2
  63. They might be referring to coinmarketcap website opting to omit the Korean prices from the averages. Korean prices are typically at a premium, so by taking them out, the prices drop down to a more “real” valuation. This was highly irresponsible, as it most likely triggered weak hands to panic sell.
    2
  64.  @ControltheTrade  it’s just market cycles and human psychology. As Buffett said himself, be greedy when others are fearful; be fearful when others are greedy.
    2
  65. Bitcoin has first mover advantage and brand recognition. It’s like saying you can’t see why someone can’t take over Starbucks.
    2
  66. Hope you put it into Bitcoin, or something...
    2
  67. kornmansony I meant as renewable energy. A common knock is that Bitcoin mining is a waste of energy and bad for the environment, but most mining takes advantage of energy arbitrage like in this case.
    2
  68. Pretty sure the generation before you grumbled about you playing with action figures and Legos instead of playing with sticks down by the creek like they used to.
    2
  69. If there's money to be made, they are coming whether you want them to or not.
    2
  70. Antonio Franco Buffet is a low-risk, consistent investor; not a risk taker. Whoever tries to replicate his style will not get wealthy. He is a market mover and can easily manipulate the game, so small guys will never get to his level.
    2
  71. America the Beautiful I would argue fiat is the bigger scam.
    2
  72. China can build high quality cars at very affordable prices. That’s why America won’t let Americans have them.
    2
  73. +Cipher Tester the forked coins are not the same as the core coin; they become alt coins. And you can take profits from Bitcoin in anything, but fiat is easier.
    1
  74. +TheTCOLL If you put it in cold storage, then it can't be hacked. You can even print your Bitcoin into paper wallets if you want to hold something in your hand or put it under you pillow. But if a robber comes, he can walk out with your tangibles. Also, forking does not dilute the core coin.
    1
  75. +Cipher Tester, how much appreciation does cash get you? Bitcoin is in a commodity/asset stage. Once it stabilizes, it will be used as currency, but by then, all the money will have already been made. Go ahead and sit on your cash that loses to inflation every year.
    1
  76. +Cipher Tester, I never said cash has no use. I think Bitcoin will operate alongside fiat for awhile before tech phases out cash in the future. As of now, Bitcoin is trying to find its worth in the world, and you can choose to make an investment on that, or you can sit on the sidelines.
    1
  77. Joe Foster that’s only because fiat has had a few decades head start. Bitcoin’s price demonstrates the desire for nationless, decentralized currency.
    1
  78. People were skeptical about credit cards, and it took what, 50 years before mass adoption? People didn’t understand the tech or concept and thought it was a scam. Bitcoin is the next evolution in money, and those who dismiss it outright will be the late adopters. The genie isn’t going back in the bottle.

  79. They didn’t even touch on the Starcruiser Hotel disaster. Call up Jenny.

  80. More money into the defense contractor pockets.

  81. Crypto needs better spokespeople. The average person is not going to understand all these nerds with their jargon.
    1
  82. The West will find out real quick the real quality of made in China products once prices go up. They will be shocked that most of the high quality goods they never check the labels for are made in China too.
    1
  83. People need Klarna to buy a burrito. America has been pointing fingers at China for so long, but it was just to distract from their own problems.
    1
  84. Tim Fuller that’s what they said when it hit $10.
    1
  85. It's not correlated because the stock market is propped up by Central Banking.

  86. Basically an old man hating what he doesn’t understand.
    1
  87. Um, what makes this guy an "expert?"
    1
  88.  @milanpatel2660  you can’t stop Bitcoin use. Also, the valuation of gold is not based on its industrial utility. The price of gold is based on the same mechanics of Bitcoin: supply and demand.

  89. A country that hasn't won a war in literal decades.

  90. Short answer: no

  91. ave383 what are you talking about? Where are you even pulling that number out of?

  92. Bitcoin is proof of work via energy and computing power.
    1
  93. The thing is, on previous charts after Consensus, the market didn't take off until days or months after the event. It almost never took off during or immediately after.
    1
  94. David Tay go look at their other videos of the day. I’d say this one is one of the better performing one so far?
    1
  95. SANSHU UK Martial Arts pretty much everything has doubled since a week ago.
    1
  96. Why are people so scared of volatility? Once the market stabilizes, all the money will have been made. Chaos is a ladder.
    1
  97. If we priced gold solely on its industrial use case, then gold is grossly overvalued. That gold necklace is only as valuable as the next sucker is willing to pay for it.
    1
  98. Fed printing money. They haven’t even begun propping up the stock market.
    1
  99. Some overseas Toys R Us are owned by separate entities, and aren’t part of the main bankruptcy.

  100. Steven Parris Ward you can always convert it to a better crypto.
    1
  101. Tomas Morales basically, they can’t afford to ignore it. Anything with “bitcoin” in the title will draw eyeballs, so everyone is forced to take a position.

  102.  @spacetoast7783  wake up
    1
  103.  @spacetoast7783  do what?
    1
  104.  @UniqueBreakfastTaco  actually, Cuba is surviving despite the US embargo and constant attempts to undermine it. If Communism is so bad, then why not leave it alone and let it collapse by itself? Why spend so much time and money trying to interfere?
    1
  105. Buffett buys silver, but he hates gold.
    1
  106. +Hector Morales, how will you now if he is buying gold?
    1
  107.  @bjchandler8937  or, you know, less wars.
    1
  108. Discount time.
    1
  109. Why does Western media always use military images with a red flag backdrop every time they mention China? You do realize there’s more to China than that?
    1
  110. Get Bitcoin.

  111. CaptainRidley do you know how long it took for paper money to reach mass adoption? People thought it was ridiculous too.

  112. Oh boy, we found one of "those" people.

  113. Alright buddy, stick with your Rightwing conspiracy tinfoil hat blogs. The rest of us are fine in reality.

  114. Put the Virtu and Citadel guy under oath. They are under no obligation to tell the truth on CNBC.
    1
  115. If cameras didn’t exist, nobody would be going up there.
    1
  116. What is this guy basing his predictions on? So I can pretty much upload any claim about Bitcoin and CNBC will run with it?
    1
  117. Just pay them a living wage and stop passing the awkwardness to the customer.
    1
  118.  @yasinali3754  what does anything I’ve said relate to world travel? There are countries that implement policies to counter geoarbitrage so locals can afford to live in their communities.

  119.  @mikolowiskamikolowiska4993  Thailand

  120. Buffett has stakes in banks, so of course he is against crypto. But it’s another thing to be so passionately hateful over something he disagrees understand.
    1
  121. She has that snarky sass.
    1
  122. Why should his words have to be true. Nobody is 100% correct. Buffett and Munger are not well-versed in tech and Microsoft now accepts Bitcoin.
    1
  123.  @ControltheTrade  what part of Bitcoin is a pyramid scheme?
    1
  124. Explain how it’s a ponzi. Who is being recruited?
    1
  125. Anything of value goes through bubble cycles whether it be stocks or real estate. Bitcoin has already crashed massively like, 7 times? It’s actually welcomed because then it presents a good buying opportunity.
    1
  126. andrew munlin you use gold and pork bellies in your daily life? The simple fact is, BTC is something that is traded on an open exchange market.

  127. Forget about Bitcoin Lambos...

  128. There is still freedom of navigation for anyone other than Israel, US, and UK. Wonder why that is?

  131. My understanding is that the old Humvees were recently donated to the Taliban?

  132. Big Red not true. Bitcoin itself has never been hacked. Never. It’s true the onramps can get hacked though, like exchanges, unsecured wallets, or idiocy.
