Ether can suck my cock.

I don't trust it.

Everyone wants decentralized private and anonymous use? Lol ether is anything but that. If it's successful it's only because it's the new data mining nwo cuck tool

>not buying Dash

I got in at $7 a while ago and I'm only mad because I couldn't buy more due to stupid site weekly spending limits.

Depends completely on the amount you are willing to loose and if you want to hold for a longer time or just want to make some dollars.

Noob here - I've been mining shitcoins and tapping faucets with the intention of shifting them all into ETH

My equipment is mad old so I can't mine the ETH directly until I manage an upgrade

But hey - slow and steady is better than inert, I suppose

>ethereum inflationary

I wish this meme would die.

PoS inflation rate is not yet finalized.

However, the lead PoS designer - Vlad - has mentioned multiple times that his aim is to design a system where PoS validators are paid trading fees only (i.e. zero inflation).

Vitalik mentioned another solution - create "just enough" inflation to incentivize about 1000 people to become validators and maintain the network.

>>1829835
why don't ya google it and do basic due diligence before ya invest in something?

can we get some sideways action now? I'm holding ETH, and don't plan on buying more, but these gains are making me nervous

I hope that the price drops back down to 10 before it rockets like it did in June. I only have 24 coins and am too much of a wage slave to get to my goal of 100 coins rn

>>1829899
I don't think that's going to happen. It'd be nice to get those extra gains but this train has been leaving the station since $11. Unless something crazy happens again, I don't see it going sub-$16.

>>1829655
Its more decentralised than bitcoin motherfucker. There are more ethereum nodes than bitcoin nodes. And the mining is not overwhelmingly concentrated in one communist country called china.

Does anyone know a way to buy btc or eth with paypal without having to register my id (im in europe if that helps ) i dont want to pay the 3.50€ withdrawl fee on virwox and getting only 50% out of my btc on localbitcoin or similar sites
Isnt an option.
also if anyone is feeling generous : 0x80143ff66808bdd1e99437017c7e63d6e22ea2ca

>>1831480
paypal is not accepted anywhere without id because of carding

the only choice you have is to just buy btc at the markup (It's not 50% idiot) on localbitcoins and then transfer that btc on an exchange that takes btc deposits and then just buy eth with btc, then when you're done sell it marked up on localbitcoins again

honestly localbitcoin has the lowest barrier of entry if you cant clear that youre shit out of luck

if you really want to make the most of your money sepa deposits are the way to go but you'll definitely want to pay taxes then

Are these companies actually going to be using the Ethereum blockchain or do they just want the tech to make their own blockchain systems ? Why would the likes of Microsoft use Ethereum when they can just use their own blockchain?

>>1831566
Small organisations can be far more agile than large ones like Microsoft when it comes to new tech. The banks at the conference said that public blockchains were way ahead technologically than their own implementations.

So that's why they want to use it. Yeah they'll use it privately, but because of the alliance, their improvements and research should benefit the public chain. E.g. if Accenture and JP Morgan come up with some sort of excellent security scheme, it should then be adoptable by the Ethereum Foundation for the rest of us.

That's what I took from the conference anyway.

>>1830228
T.communist

>>1831571
they also want their private system (they're not really blockchains they're ust internal databases using the ethereum smart contract language) to be able to interact with each other over the public ethereum settlement layer which would provide auditable transactions and trustless computing. so basically the ETH public chain WOULD be used by the banks.

in novemeber 2015 i was at a banking conference held at novotel near charles de gaul airport in paris. in attendance were all the CEO's of the major banks in europe, UBS, Deutche bank, VISA, barclays Etc. Etc. also in attendance was UN secretary general Ban Ki Moon and other EU leaders. it was a 3 day conference which ran at the same time as the paris climate talks (probably used as a cover so they had an excuse to be in paris) on day 2, the attendees had a 3 hour long talk on Ethereum, smart contracts and the implications of the above.

thats when I went all in on ETH.

>>1831590
How many eth did you buy and for how much?

>>1831594
a lot. check the price in november 2015 ;)

Which wallet are you lads using?

>>1829074
guys help, i transfered my bitcoins to my ether walletbut i accidentally used an old transaction address. It completed but the coins are not showing up in my ether wallet yet.

Did i lose my coins forever?

>>1831584
Is that so. That's interesting now. I presumed they were going to use their own external chain for this.

Maybe the ETF will pass then, if the big wigs are so sold on Blockchain as a tech.

>>1831611
no idea about that. winklevosses are not very powerful. if they have their ducks in a row it could pass. but bitcoin is irrelevant for the future. it can't implement smart contracts properly. ethereum can.

>>1831610
yes

>>1831614
You sure?

>>1831613
I know that in my European country, every single bank, fintech company, and investment company have a presence at the increasingly common conferences on Blockchain and so on, with smart contracts being a big focus.

I just can't imagine them using a public chain for transactions. Maybe while it's proof of work, using a public chain could be seen as reducing variable costs and increasing safety from majority attacks, but after PoS? We'll see I suppose.

>>1831610
> i transfered my bitcoins to my ether wallet
What the fuck?

>>1831624
the thing is. banks have realised "private blockchain" is just a pointless thing. the whole POINT of a blockchain is it's decentralised and trustless. you cannot have an impartial settlement of a derivative if the bank that is doing the transaction also owns the blockchain. it is simply not a thing.

the blockchain banks use by definition has to be open, decentralised and not trusting any one party. at least for final settlement.

R3 announced it is impossible to create a bank only chain for exactly this reason. the conclusion of R3 is: use ethereum.

>>1830228
commie piece of shit

This is hilarious because I was planning to buy it two months ago but I was too lazy and just stuck with the stock martket.

>>1831639
yeah, and the banks just wont bother giving up control to any public chain. as interesting as smart contracts are, the only real point of a good blockchain is storing value. every interesting thing going on in ethereum using smart contracts are not decentralized, theyre just using contracts but the real value is all off-chain, in the form of assets or promises held by the underlying companies

>>1830911
>21 is almost double16

>>1831646
It's not "giving up control" of anything banks will still own their contracts, their private keys, they will also own their own internal "ethereum blockchains" which just means internal ethereum databases. but to interact with other chains owned by other organisations they will have to transact over the main public chain.

without decentralisation there is no blockchain, it is simply not a thing. you cannot have a blockchain owned by one party which controls all the transactions it is just not a blockchain.

>>1831653
he needs those mental gymnastics to forget how badly he missed the cryptocurrency boat.

>>1831654
exactly, which is why ethereum isn't going to be the future of any of what you're dreaming of. these companies are experimenting with the idea of using a blockchain, but they have no reason to ever use one that's public and has as much baggage as ethereum does.

its a great way for them to test out ideas, but they wont ever cede control. why would they want to have to stop their network for 6 hours because some random third world child found a DoS exploit. why would they want to roll back their entire internal network because a significant % of independent miners/holders (who the banks have no control over whatsoever) decide to fork the network. and so on.

if you can't see why public chains won't ever feature prominently in these companies then you need to start thinking objectively.

How do I buy them?

its the same way it's designed to work on sidechains which is something people have been working on in bitcoin. you just have to orchestrate locking and unlocking of funds to make sure money/tokens cant exist on two chains at once.

>XMR slowly following along

F-feels good I guess...

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTg0MTMzNjYzMg==.html


also, I will be investing in this ICO.

the scam accusations are a red herring to keep the noobs out. classic bitcointalk tactics. same thing happened with the ethereum ico.

>>1831707
its just the schizophrenic altcoin traders jumping from dash to xmr right now

>>1831713
Is that a problem ?

You're honestly gonna tell me DASH has more potential than xmr ?

>>1831719
And you're gonna tell us either of those 1.0 knockoff coins has more potential than ETH?

>>1831724
Why not play both fields ?

XMR has just has much value because it's easy to sell as an idea, more easier than ETH, and XMR is useful for some people - plus the anonymity.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket, bud

XMR will follow along nicely, as it always does

>>1831719
Dash is a scamcoin based on a pyramide scheme obviously.

I believe that xmr has got potential because people buy the hype, but it has too many flaws and is just another pump/dump in the 'long' run.

>>1831719
i dont know where you got that from, dash is the definition of a shitcoin, but thats why xmr is going up.

>>1831730
The thing is that eth is going to get us more privacy aswell, so it depends on the functionality - i'm certain that it replaces xmr if we can safely use it in a simple way later, but i might be wrong and they really intend not to give a fuck about normal, anonymous trading, in which case another coin has to pop up and replace bitcoin/xmr for their weaknesses

the same argument can be made for ethereum. the only coin that has significant staying power is bitcoin, because it was the first. theres nothing stopping a new platform with a better, safer contract language coming along and taking over ethereum over the course of a couple of years. it's naive to think ethereum is safe from being taken over and at the same time predicting bitcoin's demise or even significant downturn by ethereum.

Ever wonder whether Sakashi will ever make himself public? He is the one who solved double-spending, isnt he? Probably the first inventor behind major invention who chose to stay anonymous.

if you cant see the insanity of calling ethereum crypto 2.0 then youre beyond help.

>>1831901
Yeah I was merrily agreeing. Get an Ethereum tshirt online like I did you'll be like the college kid who was proudly using Facebook when people were going crazy with their HTML designs on MySpace

>>1831908
Seems you'd have to believe both to believe either. Why is it so unfathomable that a breakout sector no one saw coming (crypto) that fostered %10,000 gains would never be the target of evolutionary advances? That a new system would come along to build upon it's success and demand while addressing it's fundamental flaws? That's literally what happens with every breakout innovation ever for all of human history. Original tech is extremely vulnerable to improvements. If it happened once, it can and will happen again. Stop being emotional about your BTC bag and get with the next step.

>>1831930
i'm not saying it is or it isnt, only the simple fact that if bitcoin is goign to be imminently taken over by some other crypto, then every altcoin, including ethereum, is in an even more vulnerable state now, and has even less of a chance to exist in the same amount of time.

and you can't look at ethereum and not see why a replacement would be welcome, no DAO, no fork which still has a very large market cap, no history of core failures in the scripting language, an even fairer launch with no premining, no shady practices with the ethereum foundation, etc. its ripe for replacement, and if what you say is true, the only thing stopping that is network effects and marketcap, of which ethereum has significantly less than bitcoin.

>>1831943
welcome to crypto, i can see you're new here. try not to lose everything buying tops and selling bottoms.

I know Gemini exchange says on their site it uses cold storage for security of digital assets

>>1831969
so you're a multi millionaire then? what the fuck are you doing buying ethereum at $19 if you've been here since 2009?

you're not fooling anyone.

Eth currently is a second chance for if it had not been for the etc split resulting from the dao hack it would have been $200 or more by now conservatively so now then it's like this $20 ATH is not really representative of the Ethereum true value but merely shows that Ethereum is reborn with the EEA support and can now continue to its true heights as it would have technologically and economically had it not been for the hack before. Basically you're getting a bargain at the moment on Ethereum

>>1831995
Do you expect ETH to drop in the near future so I can get a few more coins for my shekel?

>>1831995
on the contrary, the true value of ethereum and its fundamentals dropped pretty significantly after the DAO issues and subsequent fork/shady dealings. these kind of issues are fundamentals.

ethereum would definitely be higher today if it wasnt for that, but don't forget even if the DAO hadn't been drained the community at large was still pretty unhappy with some of the shady proposals from slock.it and it wouldnt have been a good thing to have so much ether given to shady individuals like that, especially not for the long term price of ether.

My assumption is that most people who made any serious money with BTC didn't expect to. That is, it was largely accidental. They weren't experienced with currency exchange or stocks or anything like that. They just bought a lotto ticket. As such, that inexperience is leading to an emotional unwillingness to let go of the idea that BTC is unstoppable. Meanwhile, smart money has been watching what happened with BTC alarmingly and is ready to back the next serious contender. It so happens that ETH is just that. Pic related speaks for itself. You can't look at that and say ETH is just another altcoin like Doge or Monero.

Another factor we're seeing are BTC late-adopters who perhaps bought in around $700-$800 expecting gains like the 2011 holders got. A challenger angers them, as does the notion that they're missing yet another wave. On the other hand, you really don't see a lot of hate from ETH to BTC. I think BTC was awesome and I'd kill to have bought in at current ETH prices. I don't want to see anyone lose money on it. I hope it continues to grow! But from a leverage standpoint if I have $2000 I'm interested in dipping into crypto, does it make more sense to buy 1.5 BTC or 100 ETH? I don't share the emotional attachment but I'm trying to rationalize it.

i hate ether

however

researching the product im afraid

>ether is google
>ether is facebook
>ether is the next thing

maybve not now but by 2020 i think unless something else better and more simple comes along, ether will be it

imagine ether comes out with its own OS phone, takes over android

i will start to buy it slowly, because i could of bought btc at 10 cents, 1 dollar, and 10 dollars, but didnt.

i have no regrets about not buying it yet, because like i said i dont like it

but compared to other cryptos, once it beomces mainline, there will be no wild west of cryptos.

RIP.

enjoy this while we can boys

>>1832032
>i hate ether

>researching the product im afraid

So maybe instead of being an emotional child, take your BTC gains and segway them to what you see as the next wave. You "hate Ether"? Make some money, fool!

>>1832043
Cam you explain how buy this things. Im a dummy.

>>1832043
If been buying it for 2 days now. But my daily limit is 100 shekel and I currently can't raise my limit. I'm just hopeing it stays stable for a few more days or even drops so I can buy some more :^)

>>1832022
Dipped to 18.95 on cuckbase.

>>1832031
i think you've got it backwards friend. most of the people i know who are heavily into ethereum or most other altcoins are doing so because they missed the boat on bitcoin, and they're simply looking for anything that might give them the kind of gains that they missed out on.

to call people investing in ethereum now "smart money" is pretty shortsighted. most people in bitcoin simply arent even aware of ethereum, where as the altcoin holders are constantly suffering from short-man syndrome, and looking for every chance to bash bitcoin as some kind of failed tech.

this sounds a lot to me like the rationalizing i'm talking about.

>>1832022
its down 10% already, good chance the uptrend has ended for a little while, but it could resume at any time if bitcoin starts to drop. jumping in or out now so close to the ETF is just a gamble, plain and simple.

>>1832065
>>1832066

>>1832059
I'm pretty sure that it's going to raise in a more healthy way after the dip.
I'll definately get some more in the next days and just forget about it for the rest of the year

>tfw you bought 699 ether a years ago

>>1832031
and youre right about the leverage standpoint, bitcoin right now is a "buy" for the whales, ethereum doesnt currently have the liquidity to absorb much of the huge buys and sells that bitcoin gets. but if youre starting out now and thinking of something to buy, i would go 70% ETH, 20% XMR, and 10% ETC as a fuck it why not.

>>1832072
you've already saved 10%, if you wait for a reversal and end up only saving 5% its still better than if you bought in a few hours ago. so don't worry about it.

>tfw just bought 20 ether

this shit better skyrocket to match bitcoin

>>1832075

>>1832131

>>1832158

>I have been here since 2009!

The real issue with ETH is the shady stuff that happend in the past, possible incompetence of the development team and the unknown future plans of the banks/backers.

I still highly trust in the mid term raise, but then again, nobody's unbiased :^)

>>1832142
Oh look back at 19 dollars!

Man I wonder if people would have bought bitcoin when it was in the up and downs around $20 or if they were like pump and dump man blah blah blah. Ethereum is undervalued. When was the last time you saw a commercial for bitcoin on television compared to the number of times you've seen a microsoft commercial? And that latter is supporting Ethereum with many other giants. So take your pic in the short term obviously people with deep pockets are making gains on the ups and downs but the little guy should think about holding in for the moon or btfo.

what are you selling for, fiat or some other crypto? if you want $s and coinbase is what you want to use youre going to need to get verified with them, then you'll get an address which you can use something like myetherwallet to send from your account to the account coinbase gives you, and from there you can sell on their platform. if you just want bitcoin or another crypto you can use something like shapeshift or sign up for poloniex.

>>1832340
>based on what I've read the last few days, ETH seems different

elaborate

>>1832340
ethereum has significantly more scammy behavior going on behind the scenes, i havent heard of any bitcoin core developers trying to steal money from another chain or force hardforks because of personal financial motivations. if youre looking for a high moral chain there are much better ones to choose from. people pick ethereum because they're trying to make money, nothing more.

>>1832347
OK, how do I connect via hardware wallet? What is my private key?

I'm sure if I set it up via coinbase in the first place it would be easier, but I didn't. This is what I did:

I set up a wallet via mist, using a password. This gave me the wallet address 0xBA2680EaE92d3F56eDAc36D449226033010Cdb27

Then I bought 13 ETH via bitpanda and sent it to the wallet address I created in mist

If you check online, this wallet address has 13 ETH, so that's fine

But bitpanda doesn't have an option to sell ETH. So my question is how do I actually withdraw the ETH into BTC, USD, whatever?

>>1832362
Youre making this way more complicated than it needs to be.

>>1832363
OK, please simplify then

There is a wallet with ID 0xBA2680EaE92d3F56eDAc36D449226033010Cdb27

It has 13 ETH in it

All I have is the wallet address and a password

How do I withdraw the ETH into USD or BTC based on this information alone - wallet and password?

>>1832362
i told you above how you can sell into $s or cryptos. you can either wait for mist to finish syncing (bad) or export your private key and use it in something like myetherwallet.com to make transactions. just be careful you dont send it to any other website, and keep it safe because with it anyone can take your money.

>>1832370
lol I dunno nerd I use kraken to trade, coinbase to convert to USD, and myetherwallet for offline cold storage

>>1832372
Thanks. How do I export my private key?

When you get national press despite the fact that you haven't even become mainstream yet you gotta at least think maybe there's something to it:

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/02/27/business/dealbook/ethereum-alliance-business-banking-security.html

>>1832370
apparently myetherwallet works with mist wallet files, so if you can find wherever that is stored you can upload that to myetherwallet and use your password to unlock it and send from there.

>>1832379
im curious what with all the shilling youre doing, how big of an investment do you have in ethereum? four, five, six figures?

no I'm like 513 ETH Moon rider

average 14.4 entry because I got on a legit exchange (Gemini) that took some days to verify all was legit but I was interested from and began at 12.7 after learning about ETH at 11.3

Honestly wants 4chan to benefit from ETH early days since we memed Trump into the white house on pol.

>>1829727
They at least guarantee you the coins at the price you pay. Even though it takes a week for you to get them.

>>1832404

starting to make a difference in Ethereum world?

Is it still worth buying in at this time?
I only have a coupe of coins in ETH, not sure if I should make a bigger investment.

couple things I saw that helped me with my decision:

https://youtu.be/2_ERX4K_RME?t=7m3s

After minute 7:03 He says private blockchain Quorum and public ETH blockchain would be interacting so yes ETH is the new currency of the future in the eyes of the corporate visionaries.

As competition amongst businesses in many industries stiffens, blockchain technology is likely to become even more in-demand in the years to come. While there are many competing blockchain programs out there, with the backing of the EEA by so many high profile companies, it stands to reason that Ethereum could become the go-to as more businesses seek to incorporate the technology.

>>1832419
reading what some crazies write here, guesstimating etherium to be like bitcoin in a couple years, anything you invest will be worth x50 in a few years

>>1832435
Ethereum likely won't reach Bitcoin numbers. I'm seriously doubting that its going to disappear like every other alt coin. Just the fact that its traded on coinbase will keep it in the limelight.

>>1832348
it's very complicated, but the most salient points:

the ultimate goal of crypto curriencies (imho) is to replace public sector currencies with private sector currencies. not because of libertarian ideas, but because private sector systems always work better than public sector systems, due to their need to generate profit (true economic value)

bitcoin has appreciated to 1250ish because it can replace/supersede fiat currencies in one aspect, the ability to transfer money, particularly in terms of laundering without government knowledge. what bitcoin is basically a vechicle for chinese citizens to get money out of their country. it is AMAZINGLY good at this, and we should all tip our fedoras in respect to bitcoin in this regard

however, where bitcoin has failed in replacing fiat is in crowding out conventional purchases of regular commerce, where it has with a few meme exceptions totally failed. five years ago bitcoin was irrelevant to normal transactions, that is basically still true today. why this is im not sure, i think it's a combination of inflexible protocol and seedy reputation

ETH in contrast is extremely flexible, it's proven ability to evolve in the face of crisis proves that, and the fact that conventional corps are buying in is very positive sign to me, a conventional investor who buys ETFs and does regular non-insane things with his equity/capital

ultimately another crpto could eat ETH lunch but i think the myspace/facebook metaphor is very apt. ETH is the REAL DEAL in terms of private sector currency and if they succeed they could capture market share and crowd out rivals quickly.

is there an exchange where I can just swap BITC for ETH without having to deal with limits and payment setups etc? Just pure BTC->ETH or the other way round?

If he sold 100% and went *poof* I would agree with you. He is a millionaire now but instead of living a wolf of wall street life he's digging in ethereum code

>>1832456
its not vitalik but the whole company though, is my point. just something to be aware of while they keep trumpeting the whole "ethereum is not a store of value".

>>1832447
>ETH has proven its ability to evolve in the face of crisis
Thats the issue, bitcoin didnt even have a crisis because it is well designed from the start

Also ETH itself will not be implemented as business solution - the underlying technology will. That means ETH may be left to the wolves in the end.

>>1832467
the problem wasnt even with ethereum, which is the real issue. they added fork baggage to the entire currency because of croneyism and special relationships they had with the slock.it people. if it was actually a core issue with ethereum that needed to be fixed, and the side effect was that the DAO failure couldn't have happened, it would be a different story and not shady at all.

this is my concern too. anyone have an answer to this?

>>1832481
Also mine. Ive read about numerous companies "working with blockchain technology" which somehow gets translated as them using Ethereum specifically when that's not necessarily the case.

>>1832467
>Also ETH itself will not be implemented as business solution - the underlying technology will.

that's definitely the biggest risk.

>>1832481
From Ethereum reddit page:

Besides the speculative value given by the market and the value of the technology, Ethereum has an "operative value". Every operation on the Ethereum network uses "gas". This is a unit that measures the processing (electricity, cpu, gpu, drive...) needed to make it happen and to register it on the ledger. Gas is paid in ETH. So there is an intrinsic values in Ether that bitcoin and many other alt-coins don't have at this moment. More operations and transactions happening in Ethereum more gas is needed, thus more ETH.

[–]janjko 3 points 3 months ago

Plus it also can be used as a currency, just like Bitcoin.

>>1832481
i believe using ETH as a quasi stake/share/currency in the Ether system will incentivize its adoption

ultimately the point of this consortium is to create an ecosystem, what better way than allowing people to "buy in"

>>1832481
to just be safe assume what they mean is private chain usage. and if they mean public chain usage, assume that they won't be touching the ether token in any way. this shouldnt matter because the price is driven by people thinking they will, not whether they actually do. and for anyone "investing" thats all that matters.

>>1832481
Go to the Ethereum Project's webpage and read it. Gas is paid in ETH, essentially.

>>1832492
If you're looking for short term pump n dumps, sure.

To everyone wondering if ETH itself has a value:

Parrot some more, perhaps it will become true when you repeat it enough times.

>>1832477
So.... what you saying is the DAO could have been prevented? Or solved in other way than hard-fork? Or that they used the attack as casus belli for hard fork while the real cause was they wanted to unscrupulously reach their selfish goals?

>>1832497
the whole EEA is a several year piece of giant speculation. this stuff won't resolve into short term pump and dumps.

The Long Con

>>1832309
Europe or USA? I always think the price is going up at night (Europoor here) when Amerifats are buying like insane.

>>1832503
the dao could have been prevented if the slock.it people (many of which worked on the ethereum codebase i believe) actually tested and audited their contract. nothing in ethereum caused the bug, so they had to break consensus just to "recover" the funds, or else they risked losing money from the ethereum they owned and the personal investments and reputation many of them staked on the DAO.

Poloniex.

How much Ethereum do you guys own? Did anyone get in at the presale and is now a millionaire?

>>1832554
no those guys are on ethtrader reddit page. when ETH was 28 to 38 cents.

I'm 513 ETH and came in at 14.4 learned about eth around 12.7 price.

>>1832554
18 eth... I've spent all I can and feel a bit demotivated when people like >>1832590
posts...

>>1832601
i guess i wont say then, but its not like other people owning more makes yours worth any less. just dont get greedy and end up trading it all away, because thats a lot less fun.

>>1832601
Gotta be grateful for what you got I can say the same about dudes I've seen with 5,000 eth that are sitting on $100k already However you should only go in as much as you think you're willing to lose since those guys either trade the dip and highs well or watch their money go up and down by the tens of thousands whereas maybe you see it go up and down by 5 to 10 dollars.

>>1832619
I think it makes people buy more when they see others have more, which increases the price. So I guess it's a good thing.

>>1832624
It's the same feeling as when I see someone who became a millionaire because they were dumb enough to buy BTC at 1 USD. Like that fucktard at /pol/ who's a multimillionaire NEET and posts screencaps of his accounts/wallets.

>>1832601
Yeah it feels like a hit in the guts but then dont you live in area with relatively low cost of living?
I have only 600€ worth of cryptos but then with 1000€ per month one can live quite comfortably around here.
Its all about that perspective.

>>1832645
>then dont you live in area with relatively low cost of living?
No, I'm a poor student living in a country with the one of the highest cost of living in the world. Why did you guess that? I just want to catch a break, earn 20k USD in crypto so I can buy a shitty cabin in the forest and live there.
