  • SoftBank's Masayoshi Son got caught up in the bitcoin frenzy and reportedly lost $130 million

    From cnbc.com

    Japanese billionaire Masayoshi Son, the founder of conglomerate SoftBank, personally lost over $130 million when he sold his position in bitcoin, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday. Son made the investment in late 2017 the report said, near the digital currency’s record high near $20,000 in December of that year. Bitcoin has traded around $5,000 in recent weeks. While it is unknown exactly how much bitcoin Son bought, he sold early last year after the speculative digital currency’s value collapsed. The move reportedly followed Son receiving a recommendation by a “bitcoin evangelist.” SoftBank had ... (full story)

Yep - as I predicted...
Guy spent $130 million investing in air.

Softbank should trust him to make investment decisions.
I can't believe someone was that stupid to buy bitcoin below 20k. I have never seen media push an "investment" so badly, as they were convincing people to buy bitcoin...so it was obvious someone wants to take people's cash savings right before christmas 2018.

Some of my friends who sold there bitcoins 5 five years ago are regretting why they sold it then.
Bitcoin is something I could never fathom investing in... primarily because, for the life of me, I don't truly understand what it is? Either you have money or you don't. All monies can be transferred over the internet, so I never understood the purpose of this?

Crypto is just:

2. founded on the misfit nerds' revenge against authority;
3. founded on the hate against the rich and "the middle man";

Maybe another way of seeing this - Son cut his losses. Sometime to learn from there. Learn when to cut it loose when you know you made the wrong decision. Something I am still learning - cut my losses. 😂

I didn’t buy into this Crypto currency nonsense too. When people around me are buying and tell me how much money they made, including my man, I told him it’s all hype and he better realise his profit before the hype died down and it crash. Luckily he listened and cashed in. Long story short, I had a lovely gift for Xmas. ❤️ And he never went back to ‘investing’ in bitcoin.

If you don’t understand it, don’t buy it.

I am keen to see how Softbank’s investment in WeWork goes. It’s in the billions red, with more expansion instead of profitability plans ahead. That is one interesting one to watch.

Exactly
In the article they don’t know how many bitcoins but as he purchased near record high 19k and probably sold at desperation at 5-6k - so 13k per Bitcoin - I would say 10000 Bitcoins to sum up to a 130 000 000$ loss (actually not a loss - someone else pocketed his money).

Dude, you flooded the thread with some fake over enthusiasm about Bitcoins - I don’t understand - didn’t you read that article was about a man that burned himself hard with Bitcoins?

Why is the jumpy joy and smile emoticons about that?!

And my prediction was not about the Bitcoin prices - but about people stopped posting everywhere (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram) in the last 12 months about cryptocurrency, ICOs, crypto evangelism (and some other clinical psychological sicknesses) - so my prediction was that it will pass an year after Bitcoin prices crashed before some major “players” (played) start to admit their huge losses.

I expect next one to be in the range of 300-400 million dollars.

By the way,
1. since the market for crowdfunding like ICOs went lamentably bust,
2. and due to their desperate run to link their genial blockchain shit to the real world,
3. and the need to tokenize real assets and leverage the power of the stupid crowd
....the new brain wave they come up now is STOs... Duhhh!

Endless tokenization hype goes on and on and on!!! ...OMFG, wait for the new fireworks round!!!
New bubbles, new losers, new dead bodies! ...jzeeeeeeee!

But I don't think they can pass the Securities and Exchange Commission ...bitcoin and Ethereum was a major compromise for the Commision because they are pure electricity... they were taken those two into consideration only because the massive "stupid people funding"

But everything about crypto is floating in the air! ...no solid GROUND!

Pyramid investments, yes.
Further more, the horrific truth about the worse part of this crypto world scheme is the recent insinuation among the very poor people, weak economies
I mean troubled countries like Venezuela, Liberia, Argentina...
These crypto scavengers take advantage of those people in need, because those weak economies get worse, and that's because their political regimes, not because the world current banking system

Those people in need are lured to accept the poisoned offer of the crypto thieves who profit of those people misfortune
A trap for the poor people. Crypto-scavangers have no humanitarian limits.

Wayne’s decision to leave the start-up cost him big. Today, a 10 percent stake in Apple would be worth more than $95 billion. That kind of a fortune would make Wayne one of the richest people in the world.

Just to give you some perspective of reality...

(By the way I have 20+ experience in the field of embedded and industrial computer software).

When you base some predictions on future tech you should keep in mind how much the technology would progress for the next 5-15 years (since you talk about grand children). You remember the computers of 1999? (because I do), and what was the level of internet’s capabilities?

So imagine what would be in 15 years - and if the whole concept of having an encrypted file made out of pseudo-random bytes “protected” by the supposedly unbreakable public database?! My guess is the technology would start to crack down on the old “protected” information (like your precious files) and after several massive hacks (that will happen with the new quantum computing coming) - all this “tech” your money rely upon will be obsoleted overnight.

But my guess is the encrypted files will start to become useless way before that. Those will remain in the hands of some nerds and geeks - same as the people that now collect postal stamps, classic cars, etc - the market will be very limited and useless for the masses.

Of course. And then it will be denominated, regulated, price-compressed and will be called money (probably digital) - and you will still work for them for the monthly salary to pay for then rent, car, insurance and food. So where will the Bitcoin revolution?

I’m waiting since end of 90s - all my friends that were going to be rich from the dot-com bubble (if you remember that), all my friends and coworkers who where flipping houses in 2008 or “invested” in overpriced stocks.

I’m now waiting for all those friends, partners and coworkers who soaked cryptocurrencies on some insane levels - will wait for those too.

All the above got busted - life statistics from 20+ years.

The only guys I know that made money where those who actually got some business going and they got it right so it started to grow. They make occasionally some money from the markets - same as I do, we even do some trades and speculation together - but we never forget what is the primary drive of our welfare.

So I guess - people will HODL their sweaty encrypted files until something else (like the colour of Venus) gets hyped in the next 8-10 years.

It is cyclical - the big money need to drain periodically from the lower classes - it is how the system works:

1999 - internet companies bubble
2008 - subprime bubble
2018 - virtual money bubble

Exactly!!! I couldn't say it better!

This hype works because very few people understands what this sophisticated new thing really is, and the FOMO of the greedy wrongheads feeds it and makes it work even better!

Even investors are misleaded about it because they have blind ambitious nerds as guidance counselors
The nerds fight to survive and expand their niche, as they have to exploit this warm edge they have now over the rest of the society.

There is not real revolution in crypto!
But the population and the investors needs time to realise on fundamental basis this is nothing more but the same digital trade and same digital money the world already have in use... a little more complicated, a crypto-complication we don't need as a matter of fact

I’m yet to see anything of concrete in your postings besides the conspiratorial sensation about some system behind the scenes - you start to sound like chronology writer for the Cold War Soviet secret services.

It is quite simple - greed, and smoke and mirrors. There are ordinary people that constantly try to convince other ordinary people that something is of value (properties, cars, arts, crypto files) - until real money (high liquidity exchange instrument) exchange hands. Then quite often - that subject of value start to depreciate in real money’s value. This is the moment where the owner of the subject of value has given his purchase powered money for something with poor liquidity. This game is being played for thousands of years. Bitcoin owners are not the first ones...

This is not a currency it is a joke. Bitcoin is, and continues to be, a joke. I'm not going to join in with the fanatical discussion above but imagine this:

Imagine if you ran a business which paid its staff in bitcoin (deliberate small 'b' ). When it came out you would choose a pay rate. Within a year or two you would be bankrupt and your employees would be millionaires. Then the reverse occurs. This is not a currency, it is pure speculation. It's a scam. Why value it in dollars? It has no real value.

You remember the computers of 1999? (because I do), and what was the level of internet’s capabilities? So imagine what would be in 15 years - and if the whole concept of having an encrypted file made out of pseudo-random bytes “protected”...
Don't try to give him any perspective! You waste your time with this guy!
He denies reality. He denies everything ...but the crypto supremacy

BTW, is good for us to have serious opinions from 20+ experience in the field of embedded and industrial computer software people like you!
I love the way you put that about crypto: "an encrypted file made out of pseudo-random bytes “protected” by the supposedly unbreakable public database" noted! LOL

It's absolutely incredible how people ignores and denies the simplest clear arguments just to play the clown like Not-KPMG!

Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.
I wonder why some of the active participants are not banned yet. Some guys like those TudorIoan and others flood the forums with cr@p. Sometimes I wish I could go and read a few interesting posts but naah, every other post is those imbecile trying to prove something to somebody else. Gosh, ban the timewaster, please.

Yes but we shouldnt go to the democracy, there should be some form of control in the forum. This is not Call of Duty forum, I used to read some sensible comments regarding technicals, fundamentals and all kind of ideas. Now the forums are more like gamers hating ground, FF should take care for itself.

Beware of robber banks (RB), bad advisors.
I see that it got quite heated.

But in the battle of words and personality insults - the story got lost.

The moral here is that people with more financial capabilities can make mistakes and can sustain losses - the size is relevant to their wealth. I remember the guy that had apologised on Youtube for losing 200 million on NGAS shorts (price later came in his favour but too late I guess).

This story shows that everyone can lose on the markets - big or small fish. And also shows that media-hyped financial instrument (in this case the BTC) can be financial poison if handled at incorrect time.

Personally, I think BTC will never regain price and popularity it once had. It has been suppressed too long, technology is going ahead - new ways of combining and protecting information will emerge that would undermine the blockchain paradigm. I guess digital currency IS somewhere in the horizon but on that horizon - the law, government, regulations and banks will be part of it - it is how the human society works in the modern world.

I see here a lot of people shouting pro and against with red faces and eyes filled with emotion - but it is pointless - this debate will be settled when future show if BTC was worthy or not.

Relax and enjoy the Oil got dumped (good shorts collected there)
I read Michael post above

But unwilling to argue.

Following an advise i got, posting a link to 3-4 memes that are really eye opening.

It's a total waste of time those guys, Nick!
They use only false analogies and clench teeth ambition, like all euphoric crypto believers.
No reason to be patient for them, because they can feel day by day that they are losing the game and they are desperate...
They are blind and deaf on other people's arguments, as they are a cult

Save your energy because they will never understand:
- how global trade and advanced economies really work;
- what money really is;
- how value is created;
- the role of the monetary policy in a free world;

They are miserably mistaken, but who are we to stop them to jump from the bridge nose first?!
