Dumpster and/or Dumbster

Same guy.

yeah I prefer musky trumpeter ,but it is a bit insulting to Louie and Miles.

Have to play around a bit and improve that nickname.

I have to think about it too. It can be difficult to figure out whether how much he is damaging is outweighing any benefit that might come from his various self-dealings, and surely even folks who supported him (or voted for him or acted like he was the best thing since sliced bread) sometimes act shocked about some of his actions, which surely can be quite difficult to defend someone who blanketedly just says that it's o.k. that you guys did all that violence on my behalf back in the day that I was crying and lying about the unfairness and injustices of the world and sure some people were hurt along the way.. .. You can get out of jail for free, just like I did... blah blah blah.. lying to himself or lying to others in terms of ongoingly proclaiming that he (Trump/dumb/dump/whiner/narcissist) is the "true" or "most important" victim that needs sympathy.. blah blah blah. Not easy to boil down into potentially a couple of rhyming words....and I hate to even say or think nice things about him.. but there are some facts that are positives... which surely freeing of Ross is one of them, and potentially some of the unclassifying of some government documents might be helpful, perhaps..even though simultaneously he is in the process of trying to snuff out records/documents/proceedings that relate to his own obvious criminal behaviors.. that we are not supposed to be thinking about, as if his bullying, thug criminal ways of thinking are suddenly going to become pure, including wanting to snuff out a bishop over words and thoughts, too.. and there could be no proper bishop who is a woman, right? right? right?

If Ross really has access to 430 BTC, he could sell perpetually at a rate of 10% per year based on the 200-WMA, which would largely be currently around close to $1.9 million per year ($160k per month) which and so that should be more than enough income.

Eggxactly. What's the essence of owning such amount and not been able to navigate himself in current society.
He has pretty lost a decade of its life and would some funds to settle.

I was thinking about my earlier post on this particular topic, and I had mentioned that Ross could fairly easily get by with 1/4 that 430 BTC amount, and probably a more realistic assessment is that many folks would be at default entry-level fuck you status with merely 1/20th that amount, which would be 21.5 BTC, and so referring to the same link that I provide in the above post, 21.5 BTC would still result in a 200-WMA value of $935k, which I would assert that is perpetually sustainable with a 10% per year withdrawal rate which would be $93.5k per year and $7,800 per month.

Who couldn't figure out ways to reasonably and practically live off of a passive income of $7,800 per month?

And, surely if a person wanted to be conservative with his BTC withdrawal and ONLY withdraw around $6k per month, I am pretty confident that the BTC value would be rising way faster than the rate of withdrawal and after a few years there would be enough of a value cushion in the BTC holdings that there likely would be justification to increase the withdrawal rate to even higher than $7,800 per month... but surely, some of these ways of calculating BTC sustainable withdrawal rates are still somewhat new/novel (I might have invented some of them my lil selfie), so it may take a bit of time to accustom ourselves to such sustainable withdrawal formulas that actually fit our lil precious, as an asset in our investment portfolio.

I wonder how many cryptos here today will be here in five years, ten, twenty or fifty years? In the history of technology few companies take the lead and keep it. The ones that have like Apple and Microsoft make massive amounts of money.

Few crypto projects make any money. They are unprofitable and overpriced so will fall by the way side in such a dynamic space, replaced by smarter, leaner, better solutions.
Ethereum or Solana may be king but both have issues because they are old technology. In years to come as blockchain is more understood Ethereum will be challenged. I'm betting on the one with best odds to be here in fifty, a hundred, a thousand years time.

Bitcoin

Wow.. you really appear lost.

Not the worst speech

Bitcoin instead of crypto would have been better though

Does anyone think he even knows the difference? Everyone needs to get used to the fact that he will be mentioning "crypto" more and more, and Bitcoin less and less.

Well duh why be a btc maxer when you can do you own meme and make a few billion dollars.

The down side of this is very simple if crushing btc makes more money for him than boosting btc he will crush btc.

He does not have a chance of crushing BTC, yet he surely can attempt to play both sides of the fence and take advantage of various ambiguities... whether you become a casualty of his little games may well be based on whether you decide to play...and surely, there are going to be BTC price swings in both directions that might partially come from that little twat or some other possible shenanigans of others who might play on similar themes (whether coordinated or just happening to be in the same place at the same time).

I am not going to proclaim myself as exempt from being affected and/or potentially damaged (or benefited) by either the behaviors of that disingenuine twat or my own behaviors that might be preemptive or responsive.

Crypto is very much similar to digital fiat that can be controlled and manipulated by governments. In presence of crypto, why would any government go for decentralised Bitcoin that they can't control and manipulate?

Even though many of us dislike devolving into shitcoin talk, you make a decent point about ways governments will talk around bitcoin, and so we may or may not even be able to determine certain attacks or certain defenses that might be needed...so surely there could be questions about whether bitcoin is the Trojan horse or whether governments will be able to Trojan horse their way into the inner bitcoin circles (to the extent that inner bitcoin circles actually exist in bitcoin that would be attackable in ways that would be beneficial to the attacker who may or may not be incentivize to kill or to enlamen the golden goose)..
