Wow! I am surprised that you received so many merits for such gobble-dey-gook, and I was going to send you an smerit my lil selfie just because I was glad to see you, but I could not bring myself to click on the send button after I read what you actually posted.
You are presented a false dichotomy.
You will note, Jay, that I did not send merit to Majormax’s post. “Merited by El duderino_ (10), vapourminer (1), Hueristic (1), suchmoon (1)”. None of these people sent merit to my post, which was strongly positive towards Bitcoin—only to his, which was negative towards Bitcoin.
Not that I care: You brought it up, and it seems noteworthy in the context.
Instead, I wrote to Majormax a thoughtful reply in which I repudiated the concept of “HODL as an act of pure faith”. I thought he misinterpreted my post—as you
certainly misinterpreted it, Jay. I was not hostile to Majormax; why should I be? He replied to me; I replied to him; that’s public discourse:
It seems that my response to Majormax was somewhat meant to be within a context of previous interactions that I had with my accusations of Majormax's prior bearish tendencies. .and maybe even an implication that he continues with similar kinds of bearish tendencies..
Do we call this “digital gold”? Well, let’s treat it as “like gold”!
Thereupon, I do NOT urge to “HODL as an act of pure faith”. No way!
Some of my recent posts have mentioned refocusing on Bitcoin’s fundamental value. In lieu of an in-depth exploration, here are a few points of cold realism, not “pure faith”:
At that point, I briefly described three reasons that Bitcoin has fundamental value. I noted that this was only a summary, and the list could be continued.
Others tend to appreciate my descriptions of Bitcoin’s value.Reviewing recent posts on this thread, insofar as I can see, Jay, it looks to me that you are now picking a fight with me because (a) I value gold, and I compare Bitcoin
favourably to gold; (b)
I did not consider myself picking any fight with you.
I don’t buy TA, never really did, and now honestly declare broken lines broken instead of retreating to a Reality Distortion Field; (c) Majormax sent me a merit.
That shows some poor judgment on your part, as well as a flawed ability to analyze these issues.
Poor judgement because why?
I am not in any kind of a competition, am I?
