@nta ah, the old abstinence investment approach! aka blue money balls

Verge is what you'd call "easing downward" so I've temporarily moved out if it.

Maybe that will prompt the price to go back up, using my mystical power of "whatever this fluffybunny sells out of, make valuable again!"

And in other great news: Savedroid, marketed as “building a user interface that will make a cryptocurrency investment just as simple as a savings account. Our mission is to eliminate adoption barriers and make cryptocurrencies accessible for everyone!”

After raising $50 million in its ICO, the website now shows nothing but a fullscreen South Park meme:

@antipodean You almost have to applaud that brazenness.

Pretty brave tho: likely to get serious physical violence done to you if you run into the wrong person

Regardless of how clever I thought I was, I wouldn't have used my real name, nor posted a photo of myself. If anything, I would have asked a random stranger to pose for a shot. The person who pushed in front of me at the lounge for example...

@antipodean I see some people have identified the egyptian resort he is at for the photo.

if course if he was really clever he would have taken that weeks ago and is instead right now in a log cabin in alaska

Savedroid,

Well, it has 3 years already since this post. I was looking for some chats to know what people thought about cryptocurrencies one or two years ago. As I noticed situation didn't change pretty much. But that's wrong.

Hey man, like what?

The recent activity around GameStop has proven that crypto is more like the stock market than some ever thought to believe.

Cryptocurrency is all about a bunch of fluffybunnies that stop gamers getting their GPUs!

@voodoo have seen a couple around in select locations.

I note Bitcoin is now up nearly AUD$14k in the last 7 days, having shot up ~$6k around the time Elon Musk said he was putting some money into it or something, three days ago.

More amusingly, a crypto called Dogecoin was worth AUD$0.0062 as of 1st January. Now worth about 15 times that after Musk said he bought some.

Timing is everything.

@NTA It's moved $4k in the last 24 hours. Irrational exuberance strikes again.

Dogecoin was even created as a joke, like you say as soon as Elon tweeted about it, it went nuts! crazy
