Vitalik is pretty exceptional. He's gotten crazy rich, but he's still focused on working both the tech and the industry around it.

By the sounds of it, I don't think he has yet noticed that he's crazy rich.

I just got literal paper mail as a creditor in the Celsius bankruptcy. In an envelope and everything. It was like the 20th century.

There is a strange (suspicious) paralysis within the US govt when it comes to any kind of significant crypto regulation or enforcement.

It's in your favour.... you've got "momentum" and "institutional investors" on your side. I've only got cynicism and reality. Your gods have money to manipulate the market - mine only have soul crushing reality.

If you want to put money on it, I'll play the game. I don't care. I ask 0.1 ETH ($100 @ 1000) if I'm right, or I'll give you 0.05 ETH ($100 @ $2000 ETH) if you're right.


Ding, bulls win. A close thing though; ETH got as low as 1087 in Nov last year.

Still think it's at the bottom. This is the price before we've seen any kind of widespread application or adoption. NFTs are probably the most recognisable application to the public.

And the tech is keeping up its march of progress.

Hah I just came to post my loss, but you got in there before me. Since no one took me up on the bet (IIRC), no one gets to claim the prize? Let me know if anyone actually did bet.

I guess my punishment should be that I have to buy 0.05ETH for myself.

Sadly, I agree with Lightspeed about the price bottom. It looks like crypto will survive this economic cycle.

Well done to the bulls but I think you will lose it all the end.

Who knows maybe Elon Musk or Snop Dogg will give a shoutout for ya.

Has anyone created a website that lets you create a new bitcoin/ethereum coin from scratch?

Well, we all do, don't we? But how does that go? I don't know about Bitcoin so much, but Ethereum doesn't really have a bottom where all of a sudden people stop believing in the infrastructure they've worked so hard to put together.

The only way I see that is if it's superseded by something that comes out of left-field.

A deep lull I suppose is possible, but progress seems to be fine, there's no current reason to believe it would lurch and halt.

Investing in crypto is just investing in mental illness

Be warned. And for the record, I didn't punish myself. My gut said no (not enough potential upside taking into account friction/fees/spread). Even if the technology/system is viable, there's no reason it has to be worth any specific amount. It's all confidence and greed. The system is just as useful and functional at $1 as it is as $1000. When the lines go up sharply, and then drop sharply, as we've just seen, that's people playing the game how it should be played if you're hoping to make profit. Regularly making 5-10% from suckers in a low interest environment is better than being a sucker hoping to make 10x gains.

For context, I just watched The Billion Dollar scam, which although looks to be entirely a scam, was based around crypto. Whether they did on-chain transactions or just took money and showed digits, what's the difference, really? You can't force anyone to give you money for your digits. With a cameo by Ukraine. The takeaway from it is that law enforcement don't care when you lose your money, and no one's getting it back for you. The winners are criminals, and the losers are people hoping to get money for nothing.

Apparently they used germ-killing sterilising UV lamps instead of "party time" black lights. yeah those 80s fluoro shirts lit up, but everyone in the room now has eye damage.
