Before I Get Started An Intro Of Sorts With Some Background.  – I Do Not Have A Doge In This Fight. This Is Not About Picking A Side Or Drawing A Line. Presently I Dont Own Any Cryptos Yet I Have In The Past

What Follows Is A Slightly Circuitous Sarcastic Yet Serious Sojourn Down A Path Strewn With The Remnants Of Illogical Confidence and Glasses That Have Been Declared Half Full Despite The Fact That All That Is Left Are The Shards Of Glass As A Result Of The Bottoms Falling Off.

This Is A Blog So What Follows Is A Fact Based Analysis Of “The Invasion Of The Crypto Body Mind & Soul Snatchers”. We Have Been Very Careful To Fact Check Everything While Via Slight Of Pen We Are Staying True To The False Resulting In Irresponsible Claims Based On Disturbing Opinions Allowing Us To Jump To Conclusions Tied To Conjecture Hopefully Giving Us The Lofty Position Located In The Rarified Air Of Fake News.   

This wonderful wild world of crypto beginning with Bitcoin appeared virtually out of nowhere by that mysterious Domo Arigato Mr. Roboto or is it Satoshi Nakamoto ….maybe its Kobayashi.

Anything which is a security or can be bought and sold at a varying price needs to be watched….critics are just as important as cheerleaders. In the case of Crypto the critics are consistently taken out back to the woodshed…When you try and argue with anyone in that sector their go to defense is “You Just Don’t Get It And You Never Will…”

If ever there was a title that was pure shameless “click-bait” and confirmed at first glance that this is not a blog with editors or a standards council to answer to…..

Apologies if I went straight Jerry Springer on you while simultaneously resetting the standards of this blog and lowering them at the same time.

Maybe I should’ve stuck to the title of two days ago which was “The Day My Lawn Guy Became A Stock Trader & Crypto Became A Cult.” (more on that later – Part 2).

I ultimately decided upon this title (which either offended you or got your attention or both) because I felt it encapsulated the pure absurdity of the cryptocurrency era.

The title is made up of two parts –

Part one is based on a quote that John McAfee (of software fame} famously uttered – “If Bitcoin doesn’t hit $500,000 by the end of 2020 I will eat my dick on national television….’ We decided to use his first self-cannibalizing proclamation rather than his price target change where he moved his preDICKtion to $1 Million.

This statement led many to blindly purchase Bitcoin (20,000 new users of Bitcoin because of that quote) many buying for the first time.

Recently there is a movement amongst Bitcoin holders trying to force Mr. McAfee make good on what he said way back in time (Bitcoin Years are different) they want their pound of flesh from Mr. McAfee. They want to hand him a fork & knife and force him to make good on his failed bet…..but to their disappointment they learned that it was no where near a pound.

Part two in the title is the recent news of diarrhea crypto which I will not go into in depth …but here is a link. To summarize Doge Coin was originally a joke & based on a Meme….therefore evidently anything can be classified as crypto worthy & go to the moon. No Shit,,,,?

But not to let the McAfee $500,000 dream die!

As they say “Two Heads Are Better Than One.”

What two better heads than twins…and good looking stud twins that have been their since the beginning.

As a matter of fact they invented the entire idea of never selling..here is a question…if no one ever sells whats the point? No worries,,,just hold it till the Twins tell you. So many questions.

Yes the Winklevoss twins recently have taken up Mr. McAfee’s cause. They have come in to save the day.

I find it fascinating that everyone is so obsessed with two numbers – $500,000 & $1,000,000 when they really should be worried about $20,000 & $10,000…

Speaking of new crypto’s – I hear that Chuck’E Cheese, Dave & Busters & Chaturbate all of which have nothing in common (well Chaturbate is a grown up version of other two) except for the fact that each of them represent escapes & ultimately reward addiction by providing tickets as one wins which can be used to buy worthless items….

In the case of Chaturbate no tickets are awarded but one will get a call from the bank asking , “Really? Are you on that site?” ….one uses them in the order written as one ages….. Chuck = Age 3-15, D&B Age 3 – 90, Chat Age 18+

All 3 are considering launching CryptoCurrency – Why not?

How can cryptocurrency even begin to be a viable currency when the absurd occurrences which screams illegitimacy are but just another normal day in the world of crypto.

This Post has changed its title, theme & tone no less than half a dozen times since its start over a month ago.

Every time I determined to publish it there was yet another bizarre occurrence in Crypto.

This perpetual TBD or Not To Be status (that is the question) lies solely on the hunched shoulders of that currency wannabe crypto crowd that self fulfilled its prophecy in reverse direct to illegitimacy.

We are in the midst of a phenomenon which its members believe in to a point of cult like fanaticism. Those who are part of this tribe blindly blame any downturn, such as what we are witnessing, on any one of dozens of conspiracy theories many declaring that this is due to manipulation from the “outsiders” or those who “don’t believe…

From the start they should never been considered a currency. Cryptocurrencies are not currencies, the SEC labels them a commodity and the IRS taxes them like a security.

What is so interesting is that the biggest defenders of Crypto and those loudly providing the music for the BAND in Band Wagon are the tech millionaires and billionaires…what is absolutely remarkable to me is they consistently act as if they are skilled traders which they are not at all.

What amazes me is the delusional aspect of this entire area. So above is but one aspect. Masa is actually recognized as an “Expert” within the CryptoSphere. What are his credentials? As it says : Played piano, guitar, drums plus done some vocals.” Well there you have hit…what he says is gold in my book. OOPS…let me rephrase.. what he says is Bitcoin!

If the Crypto’s were stocks they would most definitely be on the pink sheets and be responsible for a rebirth of an era not seen since Jordon Belfort’s day. Dozens of firms in Long Island and Boca Raton would pop up would eventually be entirely suspended from trading.

The SEC, FBI, CIA and IRS would have entire divisions devoted to the rage – there would even be a CryptoCzar. This era would’ve been labeled in the finance history books as the greatest “pump and dump” era ever known in the market, a bubble to top all bubbles replete with scammers, promoters and where the only information was inside information.

Jack Dorsey would be in jail for using Squares cash (the shareholders) to pump up Bitcoin by buying it while simultaneously pronouncing publicly that he did so therefor impacting the price. Along with Jack would be Elon for his non stop market manipulation by using twitter ( and SNL) to move the Crypto’s including the most worthless of all of them Doge.

I cant help myself with the two to follow.

 

I cant help myself with the two to follow.

 

Originally this post was inspired by countless acquaintances that reached out to me via Whatsap, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and SnapChat…God forbid a Cryptonut use an actual phone & text me.

I had dozens of messages spread throughout the social networking sphere all asking the same question yet in a different way.

All the messages I was getting were essentially asking what to do with whatever Cryptos they owned.

Yet in the same sentence they were also saying how smart they were or offering which Crypto they were going to swap into.

Each and everyone of them I begged to get out or at least take what they invested times 2 out….these friends as well as acquaintances all reached out to me because they knew I had been a trader for over a decade earlier in my career. They also knew that I followed everything that moved and had seen my LinkedIn posts poking fun at the craziness in the Crypto’s & the GameStop insanity.

Here was the painful part of all that….they weren’t calling to ask should they sell…no…they were asking my advice of moving from one crypto to another crypto. See Crypto Is Hotel California – You Can Check In But You Can Never Leave.

I am not going to claim I called the top of Bitcoin….but I called the top of Bitcoin. Hey but there is never a top in Bitcoin given the fact that all it does is go up!

Just Wait A Year!

BRIEF HISTORY OF BITCOIN

2011 – Bitcoin soars from $1 in April to a peak of $32 in June. By November it’s worth $2.
2013 – Starting the year at $13, Bitcoin jumps to $220 by April, only to change hands at $70 two weeks later. The crypto then climbs from $123 in October, to $1156 by December, then tumbles to $760 in three days.
2017 – Trading around $1K in January, Bitcoin reaches nearly $20K by the end of the year.
2018 – Prices steadily decline, eventually tracking back to the $3,500 level.
2019 – Bitcoin tops $10K again over the summer, but ends the year at $7K.
2020 – Dropping to a low of $5,200 as the pandemic set in, the crypto goes on to reach $30K.
2021 – Momentum picks up as Bitcoin breaches $40K, $50K and $60K, before the most recent crash.

Its really not about the Where with Bitcoin given Crypto is the where… …everyone that’s anyone is on board this rocketship. If anyone just holds onto it for a year at any point during this mirages life cycle they wouldve made a ton….that is the argument I hear from everyone. This argument is so full of holes and screams caution (no terror) just as virtually every other one of the crypto’s defenses does.

Here is the amazing thing about this mirage the self published analysts, are also investors, and are also the advisors that get all their wisdom from ultimate parts of this Blockchain Gang of Techies Celebrities’ Anyone that has even been on the fringes of crypto knows that what is normal for other markets just isnt applicable. Anything which hinges on the words of some billionaires tweet is absolutely absurd.

“We were anticipating nation states and central banks, but instead got an emotional billionaire with a Twitter account,” AnthonyPompliano.

What I have been shocked about and what very little has been written about are the companies which have been buying Bitcoin as a cash substitute for their “cash”. Square CEO and master pumper for Bitcoin Jack Dorsey has been using the cash in Square (shareholders money) to buy Bitcoin every time he gets a chance (or Bitcoin is down).

Warning NonSensicle Rant: Crypto is one Tweet away from an apocalyptic day where locusts & toads descend from the heavens or locust and toads becoming the newest crypto rocket being launched. But who goes first in this wild kingdom crypto version of rock paper scissors?

That depends of course on a coin toss by either Snoop Dog or Gene Simmons two of the plethora of band wagon riding celebs that smell a good PR moment when presented.

Speaking of smell and an area which gets tossed the newest banner of respect out of crypto was eluded to in our title – none other than Diarrhea Crypto which is sure to be Number One In The Number Two Business . How about at the most basic – on the day

If you invested $1000 at the start of this year in the following what would that $1000 be worth as of June 1st?

Dogecoin $70,482 AMC Entertainment $12,328
GameStop $11,766
The S&P $1,121
Bitcoin $1,287
Apple – Negative Return
Amazon – Negative Return
Tesla – Negative Return

“If a single @elonmusk tweet can have so much influence over the price of #Bitcoin how can anyone seriously consider it to be money? How can Bitcoin be a safe-haven asset if a one-word tweet puts it at risk? It should be clear by now that buying Bitcoin is gambling, not investing.” — Peter Schiff

“Investors should understand that Bitcoin, including gaining exposure through the Bitcoin futures market, is a highly speculative investment…”

SEC Report On Bitcoin

This Cryptocurrency blog post has been sitting in my draft folder for over a month…but by sitting I do not mean stagnant & unattended- quite the opposite. Frankly it would’ve been more useful, insightful & a hell of a lot less time consuming if I had just released each rewrite as its own blog post. This is our first blog and we are learning as we go along. The one thing I recognized in writing this post about Bitcoin is that I need to change the way I write! My writing style is as follows- 1) Write a stream of consciousness like novel worthy in length first draft …vaguely similar to throwing up on a page…all of it with no true point, purpose or direction 2) Go back review the mess and cut it in half, cut it in half again…plus lots of cutting and pasting3) Rewrite what’s left a half dozen times over a week 4) Two – Five weeks later upon realizing I am no where near finished I immediately set a day to stop editing or else I will be rewriting for months….
