I thought stable coins were somehow tied to the dollar but that doesn't seem to be true.

ISDT which is what I use for stables is pegged to the dollar. I also get paid interest on my USDT holdings by lending them on exchange.

I stopped trying to convince anti-crypto people a while ago. Might as well be beating a dead horse. I’m not saying it’s bad to be anti-crypto btw, I don’t judge but I don’t agree is all. There are two extremes, those for it and against it and both are illogical imo. Too many people say it’s death or it’s Manna from heaven. There is an in between and I try to live in that in between the best I can.

The so-called stable dollar cryptocurrency is now worth about 60 cents.
I just posted this on LinkedIn and Facebook and it is appropriate here:
I am not a Bitcoin or cryptocurrency investor, but I am sorry that Bitcoin has now plunged wiping out all of its gains of 2022 and 2021 and so many cryptocurrency investors are now underwater. I'm sorry that they've lost so much money because that money represented "speculation assets" which is money which could have been used for other speculative plays.
Not every business has a rock solid business plan. Some are risky. Some are very risky. But even some of the riskiest business ventures might be worthwhile. And without "speculative assets" those riskiest business ventures might never see the light of day.
We need speculative assets and this crash of cryptocurrencies will deplete the supply of speculative assets. That's not a good thing for our dreamers.

Gold is an excellent conductor. Silver is good for welding/brazing. Ironically, most of the stuff stolen from my AC van cant easily be resold. Yet, they left the 50% silver rods. That can be easily resold. They drove off on rims with a flat tire. Painted the trailer gray. It was recovered when someone called the police for a suspicious trailer.

You have pushed two investments here. I said they were both utter garbage. CYDY is down, about 90% since you started promoting it, and I think bitcoin has gone from $60,000 to under 30,000..

that has happened to the stock market too - more than once - and stocks are also doing really poorly now
the DJIA hit a low of 6469.65 on March 6, 2009 having lost more that 54% of its value since the October 9, 2007 high of 14,164.53
Bitcoin is much more speculative than stocks, so its swings will be much more extreme
it went up much more than the market until its crash - if it doesn't disappear completely its swings will surely continue to be very extreme
Bitcoin and other crypto have sent a message to the three piece suits world of finance that their world can be rocked too just as technology has rocked so many industries
whether or not that rocking will actually last can right now only be a guess

Crypto. Buyer beware. It decentralized money. In effect, it’s hidden, secret money. No government intervention. Usage can be tied to criminal gangs, scam artists and ransomware attacks.
I’ve said it before. It’s a solution looking for a problem.
Not surprised by the collapse.

It is not a means of payment, nobody, not even this blockchain conference, accepts Bitcoin for paying for conference fees cause you can do only five transactions per second with Bitcoin. With the Visa system you can do 25,000 transactions per second…Crypto’s nonsense. It’s a failure. Nobody’s using it for any transactions. It’s trading one sh*tcoin for another sh*tcoin.

Unfortunately the Warren buffet explanation just shows that even the smartest person in the room can be clueless.
He actually compares it to farming which is funny because Bitcoin has to be "mined" with what could be called Bitcoin farms.
His mistake is to believe that tangible goods must be goods you can physically hold in your hands. Bitcoin transaction generates mathematical problems that must be solved. Pay the Wizard to solve a math problem. Can you hold it in your hand?
At any rate if you had offered buffet 1% ownership of Bitcoin or a choice of 1% ownership of Blockbuster video in 2009, it's obvious which one he would have chosen from his comments.
We know how that choice would look like today.

Hi, Wizard.
I hate to agree/disagree with you but if we both agree on your statement above....
Bitcoin started around 2009 and broke $1 in 2011.
And by 2015, the furthest back that Google software tracks, it was at $436!
So not counting those "many" (two) years, I don't understand how over a decade of growth can still be suggested the average person didn't hear about or profit from it.
My son and daughter both claim they profited many years ago from Bitcoin (if anything they rue they sold too early!).
I feel your statement should perhaps be amended to no one over the age of forty who doesn't believe in this made any money while the younger generation went ahead and profited for over a decade.
Just my observation!

I'm surprised you of all people want to just toss out historical facts and data and start new. That's exactly what systems players do whenever their system ends up failing. They will justify starting new by claiming they learned from their mistakes or tweaked their system.
BTC is still about double from what it as 2 years ago. Would you have been better off now had you held all the BTC you have received?
I have no clue if BTC or Crypto is a good investment at any given time or not. I do know BTC /Crypto is a great tool.

Over all time, BTC will be a neutral investment. For every dollar Peter makes, a Paul somewhere will lose a dollar, although not at the same time.
Sure, people who got in early did well. However, it is at the expense of people who got on the train late.
Ultimately, it is a Ponzi scheme, a house of cards, that I believe is collapsing.

Good, but not great. I can remember when I paid about $9 to do a trade and it took almost 24 hours to process. Granted, that has improved. It is also a huge energy hog.
BTC may have been a good start, but I think a new generation of cryptocurrency will come along that will cost under a penny per transaction, take under a second, and be based on something real. When that happens, BTC will be a relic that we will laugh at the way we laugh at the Beanie Baby craze of the 90's.

I think it depends at what price you bought in for and what your tax consequences for selling at a certain price are, and whether the price you're asking for is still available during a market free fall.

So is the U.S. Dollar. No fiat currency has ever not eventually failed.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Over all time, BTC will be a neutral investment. For every dollar Peter makes, a Paul somewhere will lose a dollar, although not at the same time.

You are describing a zero sum game but cryptocurrency is not a zero sum game.
With crypto everyone can lose everything.
