Hahahahaha

I like the way that several of them chat the Matt Damon mantra (even Matt Damon) each time before giving some of the demonstrations of what "investment" is "good" for us.

There are many more countries in queue to join Srilanka i.e. El Salvador, Ghana, Egypt, Tunisia and Pakistan. Bloomberg

I see your source is very neutral in it's assertion of imminent collapse...

Oh what a coincidence? El Salvador on the list. Wow.... Who would-a-thunk?

Why don't counties sit and find a peaceful solution to problems? Why only war?

War is a very lucrative business & corrupt governments (all of them) like to step one weaker ones to make money.
I think most people are in for a world of pain in the coming 12-18 months. The cost of living has soared & is set to get even worse. I don’t know how the average family is going to survive.

This is why we buy bitcoin though, to safeguard our future.

From the amount that you sold at $50k, are you 75% or more back in LFC?

I cannot remember the latest and greatest in terms of your buy back thresholds, though I recall you bought most back..

I had thought that you were holding back a bit of fiat, and surely in times like these, those might not be bad ideas, even though you surely took a route that differs quite a bit from my comfort levels... but of course, presumptively we have somewhat differing balancing of the factors too.. except maybe our time in bitcoin is pretty close to one another.. but even our being 9 months apart could have some affects in the way that our balancing of factors comes out..

Of course for me, I have had to do some jiggering of things around, so yeah some of this has played out quite strangely so far, and surely it seems not even close to being over with in terms of various kinds of drama down the road..

In regards to BTC versus various kinds of traditional investments and the kinds of hedging that people might do in regards to their traditional investments, it remains somewhat interesting (and painful at the same time) to consider possible negative scenarios in which BTC might stay irrationally correlated to various macro smoke and mirror dances that seem to be happening, and some of the desperate times call for desperate measures does not even cause irrational kinds of ongoing correlations to continue and we cannot necessarily presume breaking of correlations even though part of bitcoin's ongoing value proposition is that it has not been correlated from the start, even though it appears to be quite correlated in the shorter time-frames...

Oh and some of the recent theories that seem somewhat convincing would be that bitcoin's free-est of all markets status would cause it to both crash and then go on an UPpity exponential tear sooner and harder than any others, but that still does not tell us within any kind of high level of confidence whether the bottom is already in or not.
