1st post here after lurking for a while....  Long enough to have a swathe of miscreants on ignore. Seriously, there is no incentive I can think of which would encourage the commitment to trolling that some of this douches possess.

Anyway, I've been a hodler since last time we were in the low five hundreds. (In Aussie dollars that is) I was there fairly early on and was excited as soon I managed to finally understand the concept. This took a while as I hate money, I hate the system and have little in the way of financial knowledge. This ignorance has cost me a great deal and caused my resentment of the system to rise exponentially. I see BTC as a huge weapon against the status quo and a great equaliser for people like me.
There a few avenues for dissent these days and BTC is the game changer.
I've been on the sidelines as whether to risk more savings ( I'm one third of my savings in BTC, thinking about adding some Monero) buying more coins   but feel that now is the time. My strategy is put buy orders in for $20 below the morning market price (eastern standard time) before leaving the house each day while this current trend continues and then check in each evening for the gossip before deciding whether to leave the buy orders standing overnight. I hope to add to my hodlings at a decent price.
The average bloke in the street in my country doesn't know shit about BTC and I find the average ignorance level of my countrymen is off the chart. Our media stinks, our governments at all levels are obsessed with revenue collection, our banks are assclowns and post record profits every year I can remember.

I love BTC and what it stands for and feel the rubber band is stretched nearly as far it can go.




 

 

A third sounds like a lot but I'm below middle class and the amount I'm hodling/buying reflects this.  The BTC price hasn't gone much below my buy price since I bought so I feel we are truly at the bottom and I haven't felt "the fear" and the desire to panic sell at any stage since I bought in.
I would have been in earlier had I not been broke/working too hard/selling my house.
I'm now a bit of a gypsy, trying not to blow too much of my fiat as I tread water, looking for a new life and waiting for my coins to go to the moon.
None of my peers are interested but that reflects the type of clowns I chose to surround myself over the years. Needless to say, I'm now done with that life.

Thanks for the thumbs up, a lot of the humour in this thread is right up my alley, although I'll confess I'd actually prefer a little more rage, coarseness, abuse and unrestrained foul language in this thread....  

NZ's a beautiful place, full of lovely idealist types... I love it.... But they won't be getting any of my tourist dollars until we win back the Bledisloe cup.... You probably don't know what that is, but it's the peak of ANZAC (Aussie and Kiwi) rivalry and my country's been on the losing side for far too long now... Their captain is a national hero, he's been knighted and "SIR" Richie Mckaw is also a cheat... There, I said it... Come at me Kiwis!

Yep, when you put it that way, it seems obvious but somehow "slowly slowly" feels safer and in these relatively early days,  fiat still feels safer despite the fact it is totally inflationary, backed by bullshit and root of all evil.

And as the leader of the Liberal party, ahhh, I'd just like to say that bit coin is a fad, and agh, unfortunately used by drug dealers and money launderers. It ahh, wouldn't surprise me if it was used to fund terrorism and ahh, as you all know, there are people out there that want to harm Australians.
Ahhh,  That's why today, I am raising Australian's terrorist attack likelihood measure to "highly likely'.   

(he actually did say the last bit, the fear monger's are beating their war drums... Ahhh the joys of living under a conservative government.  )

 

Only amphetamines could be the cause of such madness..... What time is it wherever you are?

My buy order at 525 AUD still stands as there was a $20 rise instead... Thinking I might just buy anyway, things might get exciting on Monday.

I swear this is what I'd like to call "the average bottom".

If this wasn't the bottom, we would have seen the usual weekend drop.... Or have I spoken too soon?

I just convinced a friend of mine to throw 5 grand at some BTC.... I've got a feeling that by 9am (Australia time) tomorrow the uptrend will be in full swing and he's gonna pay too much.

Seconded.

How's this tale for an example of how shit the banking industry is in my country, especially regarding BTC:

Earlier on I mentioned that a good friend of mine wants to buy around 10 BTC. He's new to the party but smart enough to see the potential. Anyway, he can't be bothered jumping through all the hoops to get an account with an exchange as it takes weeks for full access and it's a pain in the ar$e.
I thought I'd just buy them for him and send them to his wallet. So I gave him the Bpay number of my exchange account to deposit his fiat.
He sent it through and has now had his bank account frozen for what is a "suspected fraudulent transaction"!


1: It's only $5000
2: It was paid through a legitimate channel.
3: WTF??

Too late! I'm up to my nuts in guts as far as my btc investment goes... I just bought 1 btc worth of monero in the hope it'll save me from having to sleep under a bridge for my whole life. 

I've got nothing left to sell, but I have balls of steel.... and if you listen very carefully you may hear them clanging together as I walk up the stairs to bed.
Goodnight from Australia fellow bulls... Good news tomorrow, I can feel it.
Hodler for life.

BTC was featured on Australia's flagship, fear pedalling, commercial network, gutter journalism driven,  current affairs show.... Typically dumbed down but still gracing the screens of millions of "mainstream" fuckwits across our wide brown land. The closing comment is a killer, and delivered in a deadpan but brilliant manner. It's only short so give it a watch:

I've seen enough and I'm buying again. 

The masses are stupid and haven't even began to grasp the concept of BTC, let alone understand why decentralising is fundamental to our condition. Let alone understand the potential of this beautiful concept and how it can change the world for the better.
It is ahead of it's time, which simply means the masses won't get it for a while yet.
So patience please my fellow futurists, even shroomskit "gets" the concept..... So pat yourselves on the back for being so clever and do some fucking mediation. Be patient and realise your place in society. The masses DONT GET IT YET. OK?

Shroomskit, I may be new around here but I've read thousands of pages of your tripe in total, I have no doubt.
Why haven't I ignored you and notlambchop yet?
Is it out of respect to your post count?
Is it out of sympathy because you can't get laid?
In my mind, I keep giving you both chances to not be douchebags, every now and then one of you will say something that's worth reading and I cling on and hope that things have changed.
But over and over you fail with your mindless negative drivel..... If there was a hell, it would a huge screen with every post you both made, scrolling painfully slowly past your eyes, forced open by toothpicks.

Wow, you just humbled me good. I bet the bits about you in my post shouted at you while the rest remained ignored.
It's ok, you're still smarter than the masses. Take pride in that you sweet little thing.

I never knew this was made into a movie. Would you be so kind as to tell me if the 1980's version is the one you speak of or the 1998 version?
I would be forever grateful.

Sorry for the thread drift, to make my post relevant, I have hodled since the time we were at $480 (post $1200), I have faith in BTC's future, I think Ripple is pure evil and I have both notlambchop and shroomskit on permanent ignore.

Wow.... Fucken quiet in here.   

ECHO!

?

"............ KOOOOOOOIE?!

Hey, I'm no troll.  I just wanted to be heard.    and for the second time ever, I was. 
I'm  a Hodler.   30 btc ain't much but I'm optimistic that it'll be enough to save me being at the total mercy of the hamster wheel in a few years or more.
    Never had the nuts to short. I like to just watch and read, and ignore shrooms kit and that pony-fucker.

I hear ya, I just can't decide on a buy price.... $250 is cheap coins. $300 isn't cheap  coinz these days

Fuck yeah.... This is bullish.

I'm all set for some buys and I've had my finger on the trigger for 35 hours.....  
Too much info, too much FUD.
I just wanna know is $290 cheap coinz?

 

Normally I'd be peeved that you quoted this luddite, but this last post of his really gives him away as a paid shill, who's menial position involves helping the banks and other bent institutions fight the "scourge" that is BITCOIN.

Now that's worth quoting. Thank you for being voice of much reason in this sea of trolls.

What are they gonna do with their lives if Bitcoin really does die?... Oh yeah, it can't. It's too late and it's ALWAYS gonna be worth SOMETHING.
They know it, we know it.
WE have an ignore button which when pressed, makes out time here more bearable.
THEY have an ignore button that will never press. They can't. They need their audience in order to exist at all.  

So look at it like this, we have a button and they don't.... and I pity dem fools.

I'm Hodling 40 BTC and have cash on the exchange for more. My lack of liquidity in the early days meant I couldn't get in until $400. It's a lot of money for me.
 So I am DOWN...... those of you who have managed to dodge my ignore button,  troll away,  and revel in the sensation you feel as you rub my honest face in my losses.  
I'm happy I'm not on of you. The trolls that is,, even though the simple joy it brings you all must be satisfying, I cannot be that simple. It's both a blessing and a curse. Part of me does wish I could feel satisfied with such easy and cheap thrills but I can never go there.

Bitcoin isn't going anywhere. Thats the truth.

Wow. To all you cricket fans out there, this guy just got a golden duck. Ignored, first ball.

Can one of you gentlemans assist me by posting a current list of those that aren't gentleman?
I've discovered a region on my trackpad that is noticeably worn. It's position coincides precisely with my pointer's position on the screen when I rush to ignore someone. It's most disconcerting.  


The trolls are getting frantic, there's no doubt about it.
 It makes me harder than a cat's head, knowing that I hold a small amount of the very thing that can turn human beings into such desperate and driven trolls.

My precious BTC havess much powerserz.



Keep feeding my erection you scared little people.  It's going up and you know it.

 

...if only I could tell which gossip to believe... My average buy price is around $300 and I've been hodling/slowly accumulating for a couple of years now.... I read pages and pages of what amounts to "shit" every day, all over the intermanet and have never had the nuts to attempt a single tradle. If you're not just talking your book, I thank you for sharing this tidbit of gold in this sea of faecies.

....I guess its a classic trait of the eternally optimistic bitfanboi : easy to buy after a drop, impossible to sell after a rise.  😢

My paltry stash of bitcorns are too few in number to be considered a "book".

My kingdom for Satoshi's opinion on all of this..... I think it's time he re-appeared to give us all some hope. He's not the messiah, I get that... but his input would certainly have a huge effect on the momentum and the attitude of the revolution that he spawned.
Where art thou Satoshi?  There's good people mixed in with the greedy rabble that want to see this succeed for all the right reasons and making some bank in the process is a fitting reward for those of us who have tirelessly supported what was a futuristic and revolutionary idea, with our time, our money and our emotions.

Also, would someone please be kind enough to post an updated troll list? 

Right Fucken on.  Zoomle out and hodle

ING and Rabo are in Australia too.... I'd never bank with them... Follow the trail and you'll find that they're both heavily invested in Israeli arms companies. In fact most banks are fucking scum.
......another reason why I choose BTC.  

Swastikas and Klan-robes. Sexist, racist, homophobes.
Aryan-Nations and Hammerskins: you can wear my nuts on your nazi chins!
God, I love a man in uniform!
(But, uh, before we get too intimate here, big fella):
what exactly are the great historical accomplishments of "your" race that make you proud to be white?
Capitalism? Slavery? Genocide? Sitcoms? Guns? War? Pollution? Addiction? NAFTA? Thigh-Master?
This is your fucking white-history, my "friend".
So why don't we start making a history worth being proud of and start fighting the real fucking enemy:
the white male capitalist supremacist.
Swastikas and Klan-robes. Sexist, racist, homophobes.
This one's for the "Master Race": my brown-power ass in your white-power face!
Kill them all and let a Norse God sort 'em out!
