So much nocoiner butthurt in here lmao. Yes, it's down 50%, yet I'm still a multi-millionaire thanks to holding, from a small mining stint a couple years back, $0 invested directly aside from mining machines (GPUs I would have bought anyways for gaming).

With how it's progressed, I never have to sell. My employment income is zero, and I can't get any mortgages cuz of this... no problem, I can literally use crypto to sythnetically underwrite my own mortgages.

A lot of people here can’t separate emotion from logic. They love Element / Matrix because it’s decentralized. They love Apple because of their focus on privacy. But they hate Bitcoin: a private, decentralized currency.

They say it’s because of “volatility” or “power consumption”, but when these problems are fixed they move the goalposts (see the ETH proof of stake thread).

The truth is, they missed out on the bull run, and whether they consciously realize it or not they’re letting their emotions cloud their judgement.

What have you used to synthetically underwrite your own mortgage?
