Re: According to Kiyosaki it’s time to buy Bitcoins, because Buffet has dumped banks

Robert Kiyosaki has claimed that it’s the right time to buy Bitcoins because Buffet has dumped his banking stocks, but his other half of the tweet doesn’t make any sense to me.

Furthermore Kiyosaki feels that Buffet is loosing his love for banks, and he’s finally warming up to the idea of investing in crypto’s, and if it’s true then I believe that we would see many investors rushing in to buy crypto’s too (those investors who follow Buffet).

Although this is speculation at it’s best that buffet will completely end his love for banks, but what do you think will investors actually heed Kiyosaki advice, and dump banking stocks too to buy bitcoins?, if yes what impact can we expect to see in bitcoin prices in the short term?.

My opinion is that is is always good time to buy bitcoin, if you have spare funds. Same is for gold.

Re: If market crashes, BTC will crash twice as hard.

I see there is a strong correlation between SPY and Bitcoin prices.  BTC has a higher beta, however.  Whenever SPY tanks, BTC tanks twiiiiiice as hard, (as it was the first time, I said good byeeee) 
In March, BTC dropped from $10k to $5k.      I am calling for another BitCoin wipeout when the market crashes. 


I completely disagree.

First, the news:

MicroStrategy Adopts Bitcoin as Primary Treasury Reserve Asset
Quote
TYSONS CORNER, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MicroStrategy® Incorporated (Nasdaq: MSTR), the largest independent publicly-traded business intelligence company, today announced that it has purchased 21,454 bitcoins at an aggregate purchase price of $250 million, inclusive of fees and expenses. The purchase of Bitcoin cryptocurrency was made pursuant to the two-pronged capital allocation strategy previously announced by the company when it released its second quarter 2020 financial results on July 28, 2020.

This is the main statement:

Quote
“Our investment in Bitcoin is part of our new capital allocation strategy, which seeks to maximize long-term value for our shareholders,” said Michael J. Saylor, CEO, MicroStrategy Incorporated. “This investment reflects our belief that Bitcoin, as the world’s most widely-adopted cryptocurrency, is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash. Since its inception over a decade ago, Bitcoin has emerged as a significant addition to the global financial system, with characteristics that are useful to both individuals and institutions. MicroStrategy has recognized Bitcoin as a legitimate investment asset that can be superior to cash and accordingly has made Bitcoin the principal holding in its treasury reserve strategy.”

MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

Quote
Publicly traded business intelligence firm MicroStrategy purchased 21,454 bitcoin on Tuesday, effectively pouring all $250 million of its planned inflation-hedging funds into the digital currency.

  • Disclosing its bitcoin buy alongside an equivalent stock buyback in a Tuesday Securities and Exchange Commission filing, MicroStrategy, a Nasdaq-listed software firm worth over $1.2 billion, said the cryptocurrency provided a "reasonable hedge against inflation" in a press statement shared with CoinDesk.
  • “This investment reflects our belief that bitcoin, as the world’s most widely adopted cryptocurrency, is a dependable store of value and an attractive investment asset with more long-term appreciation potential than holding cash," said CEO Michael J. Saylor.
  • Saylor cited forces working to weaken fiat currencies – COVID-19, global quantitative easing measures, political and economic uncertainty – but also the technical and qualitative aspects that he said give the bitcoin blockchain strength.
  • “We find the global acceptance, brand recognition, ecosystem vitality, network dominance, architectural resilience, technical utility and community ethos of bitcoin to be persuasive evidence of its superiority as an asset class for those seeking a long-term store of value," Saylor said.
  • The capital allocation quickly fulfills Saylor's late July promise to shareholders that his company, which he founded in 1989, would buy back $250 million in stock and invest an additional $250 million in gold and bitcoin over the next 12 months. The belief was that these and other "alternative investments" would protect MicroStrategy's dollar-heavy balance sheet.
  • It is now clear that half of the $500 million bet turns entirely on bitcoin. MicroStrategy "accordingly has made bitcoin the principal holding in its treasury reserve strategy," Saylor said.

My Commentary:
This is so big: A publicly traded  firm decided to invest half of his 500 millions excess cash reserves buying bitcoin, deliberately dumping the ever value loser, inflationary, exponentially printed fiat currency, to embrace the superior hard money, digital gold, Bitcoin.
This is so bullish. A new era for Bitcoin in the path of a recognition as a superior Store Of Value.

Re: You want to get rich, don’t pay taxes, don’t get married, don’t use bank, and...

Don’t pay taxes: govt love taxes! It make them super super wealthy and make you super super poor, govt don’t care if you starve to dead tomorrow, that’s your own fault to be basement dweller, govt rather spam their tweeter with non sense China FUD.

Don’t get married: get a traditional marriage and get a nasty divorce, your wealth immediately split into half! It is no brainier why marriage is a trap in the modern lifestyle, and your lawyers won’t help you to get rid of divorce, you’re doomed! We know Jeff Bezos can buy the best lawyers on the planet to fight for his rights, yet the status quo court decide to prejudice all is his fault to get into marriage at the first place, you horny you pay the biggest price! This is justice! Smiley

Don’t use bank: Why! We all know bank is a very good investment! You get zero risk while you get a stable fixed deposit income! But why don’t use bank? Because we’re all fooled! We getting so poor today all due to bank! It’s bank fault! We’re all in huge debt!

Don’t invest: Banker love to sell snake oil investment advice! Of course it’s full of moral values to be a decent human being, get a job, get married and invest in well diversified portfolio! Because business create value, we invest in business, and it is the only “real” economy, people who invest into anything else is not investing into real economy! Fuck it! Business itself is a virtual existence, it is an illusion, nobody can touch business, and it can create a lot of value today, by tomorrow it would be just gone and disappeared into abyss! Who the hell buy into this snake oil advice “business is the only real economy” is too dumb to be get rich. Smiley


Finally, don’t get a job, because jobless is not a fake news, govt keep spreading fake hope that we have 0.000001% jobless rate, while many under employed staff wandering around the streets.

Don’t get married is a valid point. But we all learn on our mistakes.

Re: Serious question about Bitcoin. Is it a reliable and stable investment?
by
Johny H.
on 18/09/2020, 15:39:31 UTC
Hi guys. I have a friend who's parents are looking for alternatives and want to invest money into something other than their IRA account. They have a fixed IRA with about $100K, but they are unsatisfied with the miserable amount of interest they're getting. I mentioned to them that bitcoin is a possible alternative and one they can look into. Do you agree? Do you guys consider bitcoin a reliable and stable investment for long term holding(5-10yrs)? Is it safe to assume the only direction(barring a few dips here and there) bitcoin will eventually go from here is up? Do you foresee it going below $10K, or even $9K ever again? Is it even possible to see the lows we saw a few months ago(ie $3500) ever again?

Please give me your thoughts. IRA or Bitcoin for the long term?


Bitcoin long term, IRA short term, gold mid term. IMHO
