I don't get why crypto pisses off leftists so much. (Ditto for NFTs btw.) You say it's a scam, OK so what? If you don't like it then don't buy it. Nobody's forcing you to.

It's because leftists don't want you to succeed more than they do, and crypto, especially BTC, was a rocketship in the last decade that they never understood, and consequently never benefitted from. So now "crypto" is just another ambiguous "rich guy thing" that they have to "appropriate" or whatever.

B-b-but... line go up!! Line must ALWAYS go up! We have to smash windows so the glass companies line go up! Oh my God, maybe we can put more niggers in prison so their lines and the goyslop lines can go up? I just can't live in a world where lines don't go up. We're so fucked!

Stock market niggas really be out here selling their soul so an imaginary number based on estimates of potential growth goes up like really show me how your favorite green number turning red is bad for me.

Because your retirement tracks the S&P 500 index.

Yup. And they hide that behind electricity consumption so you can’t mine, but Lilith can goon with multiple devices while grooming children on Discord.

Permanently?

Are the gubmint shill doomposters not coordinating their schedules correctly? Every two hours you post the ATL Fed GDP map and it doesn't look organic, sweaties, it kind of gives you all the ick.

So why is the economy contracting so rapidly when Republicans have done nothing but pass a budget proposal which dramatically increases the deficit?

Probably because people are expecting the deficit to actually reduce. That things such as how DOGE are operating have not been calculated into CBO estimates and such. Taking an axe to 10s or 100s of billions of dollars of government spending in a short time span is going to have an effect.

https://www.cbo.gov/publication/61195/html#total-outlays-up-by-15-percent-in-fiscal-year-2025

You can see the CBO expects basically every single outlay to go up (minus FDIC).



Here's the estimated deficit.



Here's what DOGE thinks it's saving.

Says 100B but doesn't say over what time period. Considering it's only been active for a few weeks though, if they keep up at this rate it could have a substantial impact on government spending. This reduction in government could be offset by the tax breaks. Essentially lowering receipts and outlays.

Honestly, given how many variables are changing, I don't think anyone can say what's going to happen in the medium to long term. Short term I would expect things to contract, especially with tariffs being put into effect.

Growth investment vs value/EPS investment
Which way, western man?

So seriously though, what is everyone's opinion on Trump scamming Americans with his bullshit coins?

Money better spent than on the billion dollar harris campaign.

If you didn’t buy your gold when Rush Limbaugh told you to, that is.

 

[edgymovies]

Why is it such a good thing for the government to be buying crypto? these worthless fucking assets that get most of their use from scams and speculation? they might as well open an official U.S. government draftkings account.

gdp is for fags

having sex with your wife doesn’t contribute to GDP, but paying an OF model does. gdp maximalists care only about money moving around and not the reason why money is moving around

Donald Trump must pay for his crimes for losing a nigga 400 dollars. I take great pleasure in knowing that whenever stock schizos post here, it is done with haste and fury at losing at jewish tea leaf rituals.

 

[indomitable snowman]

People are forgetting that we've really been in a recession for the past few years. The media wallpapered over it to make sure Biden never had bad press and the government just printed money to inflate a bubble. There will be a reckoning and will not be pleasant. With Trump and DOGE cutting as much government as possible I really hope it can help form a true recovery. A real recovery that was never allowed to happen after 2008.

Oh pardon me, I meant every American working that currently has a 401(k) or IRA. The rest of you that don't need to work for a retirement carry on as you were.

 

[Justice Tony]

I am severely disappointed that there are no Pope Floyd memes. He can’t breathe, people. It’s right there!

Am I going to hell for chuckling at this? But back on topic yeah I can’t believe no one has made that joke already.

Oh? Does yours?

 

[Catch The Rainbow]

No as in it was literally an insider rugpull. Go watch coffeezilla's video on it.

I didn't buy in, I didn't get scammed, who did were 200,000 Trump voters that had never bought crypto before.

how was it a rugpull when trumps equity in it was locked for 3 months

i would agree that launching $melania was retarded and locking up the network during his speech was doubly so but right now trump is hovering around 15 dollars from a high of 75ish.

Hint: if you look at your plan online, oftentimes you can CHOOSE a split. My commodities-heavy style appreciated 30% in 2008 when most of my buddies lost 40%
