When the President launches a meme coin, you know, It's time to wake this thread up 🤣😂

I won’t get into the coin itself to avoid any political rancor but a financial forum i check out had people posting screenshots of their gains one dude had a 203,000% gain and was able to sell. Another degenerate gambler put 30k in walked away with high six figures.

I have some buddy’s that are full time traders sometimes I stop by to see them and they have given me a few “tips” that actually made major moves but I don’t put enough in to make any real money. The last meme coin I really got into was shiba when it first came out but since then I just don’t find pure speculation any fun.

Solana did move up 16% since the trump memecoin was on its network, not quite 203,000% but I’ll take it.

Now you've gone and done it...........you've tempted fate, the arse will fall outta the market in April! 🤣

I bought more yesterday.

So... I went to see about this new T$ con, I mean coin, and it was trading at $75 or so. I went to my coinbase account to see if i could buy it there, but I have to do it some other way, and before I could figure it out, I lost interest.

2 hours later, it's $45. LOL and all that. I'm not even sure if it's actually the new T$ coin, as I thought it had a dollar sign in the name or something.

I'll stick with my ripple.

For anyone who thinks that the tulip mania can be compared to bitcoin, it really cannot. (Google is your friend, but briefly tulips were popular for a short time, used as a flex by the wealthy, and promoted heavily by unscrupulous traders)

Bitcoin is a permissionless trustless ledger that like the early internet, most people lack the cognitive capacity to truly see the potential. (me included)

Now if you want to start drawing comparisons to the recent Rolex bubble and Tulips, I am with you on that.

Analogies are difficult, but I was trying to make a point about bubbles I guess.

At least tulips are pretty to look at. Until they die.

I work in I/T and I kind of get bitcoin and other coins, but I think the hype outweighs the reality.

Bubbles are assets you don’t have a position in-someone I don’t remember said that

You can't own an asset that's in a bubble? I have to disagree.

And it was Eddy Elfenbein.

I just tell myself that about things I miss to feel better.
