CRYPTO IS A FUCKING SCAM There are so many proper applications of blockchain that could improve humanity and provide value to customers and instead these shitheads create NFTs. "But the US dollar is fiat" they will say, "what's the difference?!" Gee, I dunno, the fact that the US Government backs it? All central banks use it? It's the reserve currency of the world? Any currency that isn't backed by a government or wa…

How much did you lose investing in Bitcoin?

Coinbase tried to recruit me last summer. I politely told the recruiter that I felt it was all bubble speculation mania. Also the amount of equity sold by the CFO at the public listing indicated little confidence in the long term prospects. I guess I was right? Not trying to brag or anything. Just a tip to everyone job hunting I guess. Watch what executives do (not what they say). Well, and human history of speculati…

SEC Filings - https://investor.coinbase.com/financials/sec-filings/default.... Look out for "Statement of Changes in Beneficial Ownership" to see stock grants/ sales for insiders (executives and directors).

But, scouring SEC filings can be demanding, so there are several websites that specialize in extracting and displaying such information, for example - https://www.marketbeat.com/stocks/NASDAQ/COIN/insider-trades...

Might be a bubble, but I paid off my student loan and a car by investing in bitcoin. I’m certainly glad I ended up on the right side of the bubble.
