    anywhere in this range for btc should be a solid buy. if it were to drop below 38k, then we'd be in REAL trouble, but if you're able to get in sub-42k then i think you'll be thankful long-term. that said, the biggest tip i can give is that you don't need to get in at the very bottom or out at the very top to make $$$. i'm planning to DCA my way back in with new fiat (most of my reserves i hold in coinbase have been put in during this recent drop) once i see where the trend begins to take us

    i find it fascinating when people say they hate him.

    hate the guy that shook up an entire automobile industry full of old heads committed to keeping electric vehicles a pipedream?
    the one doing more for space exploration and interplanetary travels since the cold war?
    who kicked off electronic payment systems?
    the guy who started a company committed to enhance the life of paraplegics & to long-term bridge the internet/human interface?


    ...but then people love the egotistical sociopath who makes high fashion clothes for the homeless, overcharges for commercial products after spending years bitching about how we're enslaved to commercialism, ran for president because of his god complex, and has his best musical years behind him?

    They’re all symbols of structural violence, he isn’t special, he’s just the current number one at the top of the pile. Doesn’t matter what he does for innovation when he’s exploiting via capital, innovation can be achieved without it.

    Inequality is embedded at system level when someone can hoard vast amounts of wealth like that with no interference — then be championed as if he’s not representing anything but violence against the 99%, increasing the wealth gap between the rich & poor.

    Elon is just another daddy’s boy succeeding off of the back of colonialism, nothing new.

    To think Doge is dead is f---ing ridiculous. Ask the normal joe and they know the name now. We have upcoming Coinbase exposure, possible tesla Doge acceptance, more and more retailers accepting Doge all the time (Lowes Just did) Doge-1 rocket, placing a literal Dogecoin on the actual moon, assurance that Doge is being developed, low emissions as compared to a lot of other coins, a huge pre-built market cap, lots of celebrity endorsement (a good amount of those with money/business backgrounds), an amazing community on reddit, and just an all around great coin. What reason is there left to not buy in? It's just sheer and complete stubbornness on any haters at this point. Doge has proven itself time and time again. HOLD and buy those dips!

    structural violence? elaborate please.

    this isn't saying anything incorrect, but you're grossly minimizing the self-driven successes, the levels for which he's had them, and the positive impacts that what he's built has had & continues to have on the world. i'm not trying to debate the economy of things -- sweeping under the rug that elon is an intelligent, highly impactful, individual is a wild statement that i don't understand the hate on.

    Electric vehicles are great, Elon forcing himself onto the founders board and forcing an actual founder of the company out is not. He's an attention whor- and has this weird personal approval rating he needs from the general public. With that being said I really love electric cars and moving away from fossil fuel and with that fossil fuel subsidies so I have no issues with his motives for the cars themselves (I dont think mostly anyone does)

    Space exploration is cool and all but when your planet is on fire the last thing you should be worrying about is trying to do the impossible and terraform mars. Ofc his supporters claim the first settlers will be transhuman experiments so I can't speak on what they'll experience :'(

    Paypal is a great service, he also isn't a founder and got kicked out of his CEO position lmao.

    See this is another one of those things where its like... sure he DID do that but a ton of other companies do that and nothing Neuralink is doing is groundbreaking. It's almost like he's doing a lot of this, not just because it'll progress humanity but because it's good for his image and the market :thinkinghmmm:

    if you don't believe me just look at how much he's had little to do with that taken credit for. Not to mention one of their cofounders just left a few weeks ago lmao.

    He "found" Tesla as the modern Thomas Edison

    He grew up lavishly, has a lot of idiotic ideas, once accused a man of being a pedophile "probably", downplayed the pandemic, lied to his own investors, said the stimulus checks weren't for the good of the people, overworks his employees, tried to ruin a tesla whistleblowers life, named his kid some s--- so he'd purposely get bullied and I'm just working off memory.

    He's not evil, he's not running around with pedophiles sacrificing children or pumping out mass pollution that's killing off the fish population (as far as I know) but lets not act like he's not a narcissistic a--- clown doing his best to get twitter followers and pump up his shitcoin for even more money. Elon musk is what happens when your average forum user becomes a billionaire, and if you call yourself a fan of this man I seriously would recommend you come back down to reality. Never trust the rich.//




    basically

    there's an INFINITE supply and is an inflationary asset by design.

    it's great that DOGE has gotten people to pay attention to crypto, but it's ironic that it was literally designed to be a shitcoin and only the people who weren't paying attention didn't know that.

    maybe it reaches $1, but it's reached its peak of hype.

    the first thing is probably to try and minimize carbon emissions on your planet. :emoji_thinking:

    X -- not paypal

    this is where these conversations usually turn... i by no means (nor would the majority of the sane) stated that elon is out there rolling up his sleeves and engineering a brain/internet interface. there's enough hate for him as to where him creating a company and hiring engineers to run it = he's an a------

    He's not doing very well if thats his #1 goal.

    The company he founded that he had to merge? Oh thats cool I guess, Paypal is super useful so its a net positive either way

    When people like to call him some genius/engineer (like he called himself) "Not an investor" it gets a bit tiring. If that wasn't your point then my bad.

    Just ignore the rest because he makes electric cars and creates companies I guess lol

    Infinite supply of paper money. The same person that launched a car into space is backing it... and I’m gonna listen to a lil Wayne lover on a rap forum?
