If we're still here this time next year, let's resurrect this thread and see how things went vs our broad predictions.

I can guarantee we'll be off by a mile but it will be a fun exercise.

@fal1026

Right, so you mean it will be a year of "choose". Yeah, I mostly agree with that.

Once you realize you're being raped in the ass, then yes, you have to at least stop yourself being ass-raped, even if all you can do right now is shuffle away with your pants around your ankles. Hehe.

Those who let it continue can die of AIDS.

@fal1026

Lol, not gonna happen. However ..

2024 is going to be off the charts crazy. Election year faggotry dialled up to 11.

Posting F in the chat in advance for the unknowns who are going to get deleted as collateral damage for whatever false flag shitshows the FBI/CIA have planned.

2023 has been a net positive overall IMO.

It was the year that:

* "Woke" fell into a bear market. 🔥 It took a crazy trans-man gunning down white schoolgirls to get it started, which kicked off Mulvaney, which kicked off the Bud Light ban, etc.. but here we are.

* The Great Noticing finally started. Jewpilling and Zionist power got some sunlight. It's taking the genocide of Palestinians to wake people up, but again .. here we are.

Some L's taken, but the overall direction is white pill.

@shortstories

Let me summarize your entire point:

"Yes, I agree with OP but don't let your gains get trapped."

No shit Sherlock. The exact same advice applies to stocks, bonds and metals. Even moreso since we already have precedent for govts stealing/confiscating every single one of those.

@shortstories

Again, who gives a fuck?

I'm literally talking about making money next year instead of losing money next year.

Conflating that with a speculative global disaster is a non-sequitur.

@shortstories

Who cares? You can't do any of the above with gold or silver either, but no-one disputes it's clear value.

Literally no-one is making the argument you are. It's a dumb category-error argument.

Here's one of the actual value propositions of BTC explained:

> bitcoin is not real for the same reason that United States dollars are not real

Let's assume that's true. So what? How does that make any difference to you making or losing money next year?

> People simply can add more digits

Incorrect. With XRP + Ripple, they definitely can. XRP is a deliberately inflatable (i.e. infinite) currency built on a protocol that intentionally replaces the SWIFT system. This is precisely why XRP+Ripple has BRICS adoption.

TFM's position on crypto seems to be purely ideological and not at all pragmatic.

Nobody is advising to commit 100% of your cash into anything, let alone crypto.

But if there's a non-zero chance that BTC will 10x or 100x within a year and you don't put at least 1% of your disposable income into it to hedge against market fuckery, then you are not investing, you are doing emotional/ ideological gambling.
