Put those historical stonk price charts away, you retards. They're totally meaningless, and btw don't you know that even looking at them and noticing generalized patterns over the years constitutes 'technical analysis' which is a bunch of fake low IQ shit for idiots? *You're* not an idiot... are you???

What the intelligent financial advisor actually said: "Bear in mind that past performance is not a guarantee of future success when you invest in ston--"

What "sealclubber" (a retard) heard him say: "THE PAST PERFORMANCE OF A STONK IS AN IRRELEVANT METRIC AND ONLY STUPID PEOPLE CONSIDER IT WHEN INVESTING.... I AM A SMART PERSON, SO THEREFORE I DON'T CONSIDER IT, GOD I HATE STUPID PEOPLE THEY SUCK SOOOO MUCH AND I LOOK DOWN ON THEM AND GRRRR, STUPID 'TECHNICAL ANALYSIS' GRRRR!"

It's amazing how many times this dynamic plays out in all sorts of areas.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48750408)

what your thread title said is

"TSLA has lost >40% of it's value at least 5x since 2018 and always hit new ATHs."

and then you proceeded in your first two posts to say how stupid everyone is because

"To be fair,

Brilliant Jewish XO Pumos: "LOL u retard that's all totally irrelevant, history won't repeat itself again -- this time is totally different for reasons, and TSLA is never going to bounce back up again. Hope u sold it all becuz if not UR FUKT!"

lol"

and

"To be fair,

AMAZING COINCIDENCE (SIT DOWN FOR THIS YOU'LL NEVER SEE THE TWIST COMING):

BTC has also lost >75% of it's value at least 5x since 2010, and every time it also rose once again to achieve new ATHs.

...guess what Brilliant Jewish XO Pumos have also been saying about BTC's latest dip?

;)"

so you doubled down on your stupidity. at least your stupidity is accompanied with arrogance. you're no better than a gambler being confident about a future result because of what you've seen in the past

getting humiliated and then posting a separate thread attacking someone because you're too much of a faggot to defend your idiocy in the original thread

btw, for anyone popping in

i quoted the definition of technical analysis from investopedia and it matched up with exactly with what to be faggot was doing

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48750405)

Sorry bro, but any reference to a stonk's past performance -- no matter how generalized or high-level -- is "technical analysis," that's just the dictionary definition of it bro it's all right there.

BTW the experts all agree that "technical analysis" is a bunch of low IQ bullshit, so I hope you aren't one of those dumb midwit goys who does stupid shit like looking back at the historical performance of stonks and taking that performance into account when you're making speculative investment decisions about where you think they're likely to go in the future. People who do that are performing "technical analysis," and doing that sort of thing makes you a certified moron. You're not a moron, are you?

you're a real fucking pothole on the xoxo road

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48753850)

So you're saying that gold is actually way more expensive than silver and copper because gold has a bunch of very useful traits that give it an "intrinsic value" as a physical material which can't simply be boiled down to "ooooo it's so prettty and shiiiiiny, I liiiiiike it"?

You sure about that, bud?

Because as I understand it, the "price" of any commodity is determined by the global demand for that commodity. And last time I checked, <7% of gold is actually being used for any sort of industrial application in the modern world -- meaning that the global demand for gold's utility in industrial applications only accounts for <7% of its current "price" in the global marketplace. Here's a source on that: https://www.statista.com/statistics/299609/gold-demand-by-industry-sector-share/

As of 2023, ~50% of the global demand for gold came from the "oooo it's soooo prettttty" trinkets and baubles sector, and another ~45% of the global demand for gold either came from investors who want to use it as a vehicle for bald financial speculation (BTC is now widely used for exactly this same purpose and yet you scoff at the suggestion that this use gives BTC any "intrinsic value") or from central banks who want to use it as a vehicle for storing wealth and hedging against inflation (same comment as above).

So what am I missing here? Because to me, it looks like ~93% of the current "price" of gold in the global marketplace can be directly attributed to "oooo it's shiny and pretty" plus two other uses which you yourself have previously stated DO NOT IN AND OF THEMSELVES afford a commodity any sort of "intrinsic value" in your opinion.

Pretty confused here... suffice to say, I'm really looking forward to you clearing this up for me.

TYVMIA.

but it's "intrinsic value" as a currency is exactly the same as anything else we use as a currency. there's nothing that makes gold unique compared to any other precious metal or method of exchange.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48755274)

CR, my thesis is that putting aside the ~7% of its current global market valuation that comes from legitimate industrial use cases, >90% of gold's global market cap can be boiled down to a bunch of humans looking at gold and thinking to themselves, "oooo I wanna own that" (either because they just genuinely like it, or because they think other people really like it and they therefore want to use it as a vehicle for speculative investment). Which is a fine use case, to be clear. I'm not the one who has a problem with calling that a valid source of value for a commodity. Sealclubber is.

But -- and this is an odd case! -- he ONLY seems to have a problem with that calling that a valid source of value when it comes to BTC. Very interesting!

Somehow, the fact that hundreds of millions of people all around the globe also now want to buy and hold BTC is evidence of what a total scam that bullshit is... even though in his view, the very same phenomenon functions as FURTHER PROOF of how INNATELY PRECIOUS physical gold is, for, uh... "reasons."

It's almost like this "Sealclubber" guy is legitimately a low IQ retard who can't actually explain how or why these two phenomena are different from one another in a defensible way.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48757952)

"sound right."

"regardless of how silly an individual may think it is to use one specific shinny metal as a currency, it's just a fact that people do."

"yup"

"likewise, bitcoin is undeniably a store of value and used in the same way gold has. this has happened for over a decade now, and peoples faith in it is high. so even if someone thinks it's retarded, they cannot deny that it simply is a fact."

"btc has no intrinsic value and will someday be worthless. btw im not shorting btc or anything, even though i have unwavering faith in my prediction."

i read what he's saying here to mean that no commodity has intrinsic value and its value is derived from the price people are willing to pay for it. he goes on to say that gold, for instance, is mostly not being used for whatever it generally can be used for. it's valuable because people have decided that it is, not because it has inherent value.

i could be wrong, though. i am retarded and gay.

if you are conceding that bitcoin has no intrinsic value, that's what you have failed to do in the past

rather, you go off on lame rants about gold that are desperate and pathetic and inapposite.

glad you finally admit that bitcoin has no intrinsic value, faggot. took you long enough.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48759629)

so what is the significance of that to you?

Wow, you got me. Great victory here for you, thanks for tactically pressuring me to finally concede that you were 100% right and I was 100% wrong this whole time, bud. Whew feels good to admit that at last.

to be faggot skirted the issue and refused to answer.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5694649&forum_id=2#48759903)

every single poast he made in that thread was an implicit acknowledgment that bitcoin has no intrinsic value. because bitcoin *doesn't exist* in the physical world. the same way the vast majority of dollars don't exist beyond digital tokens.

this is exactly why you're known as the biggest fucking retard who has ever poasted. you've been arguing about this with tbf for months now, dozens of poasts, and you think this is some sort of "gotcha." do you think he was mentioning the scant intrinsic value of gold to justify it's price? no, he's being sarcastic and mocking it.

you are perhaps the only person in the world that can read and understand the words written in that thread and this one and come out thinking "TBF thinks bitcoin has intrinsic value." this is just like the wealth tax thread i always poast with you. it is so obvious that this is his position that it would be insulting to a reader to say it explicitly.

and again, SO WHAT? THE ENTIRE FUCKING POINT OF THAT THREAD AND NOW THIS SUBTHREAD WASTELAND IS THAT VALUE AS A CURRENCY HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INTRINSIC VALUE! THAT'S WHY IT'S A CURRENCY! FEATERS, BONES, SHELLS, PAPER, AND DIGITAL TOKENS (spoiler: the last two are still being used today!) HAVE ALL BEEN USED AS CURRENCY! IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH INTRINSIC VALUE!!! THAT'S HIS POINT!! THAT'S WHAT WE'VE ALL BEEN TRYING TO TELL YOU!!!!!!
