Reads like a post from 2017. Bitcoin was about 15k then.


In his defense that was about the time of the first transition from BTC is an anonymous decentralized system to becoming a hedge against the depreciated dollar…the current narrative of million dollar investment buy and hodl theory hadn’t yet rolled out.

Don’t be surprised when the dollar defaults, and it will, just like every other currency has throughout history. Is bitcoin the answer? I think it could be. If it eventually is, then I will be happy I prepared for that scenario.

Is this what you want to base your financial future on? I don’t think anyone would be a buyer with this type of performance.

Thats the whole point.

It's not, actually. It was to be devoid of government interference. I can't buy btc without presenting some level of ID nowadays, and it's pretty off-putting to some who started mining in 2012, when bitmain dropped their first antminers.

Gold is wayyyyy lower risk and is an actual element with practical applications.

Bitcoin is nothing but a ledger that can be replicated over and over. It's not unique in any way, shape or form.

The big boy nations aren't buying Bitcoin. I do know what they are buying though...

A huge share of the world’s capital is tied up in sovereign debt. That’s quite literally investing in a currency. If you don’t hold government debt, good on you.

Bitcoin gets a bad rap because of the volatility, but that is slowly changing with increase adoption.


Really? Where is this increased adoption?
What comes first, early adoption or reduced volatility?
Ie- In my business, there is no way I accept bitcoin because of the volatility.

And if it loses its volatility, will you still hold it?
And why?

What caused Bitcoin go from $10,000 to $100,000 in the first place?

Why are Pokémon cards so expensive now


All of the wealth of the younger generation is going into things they consider “assets” that can “make you get rich quick” because they have checked out of the system

I mean I guess it’s fair since they think they’ll never be able to own a house and have a family and ai took all the foot in the door jobs that they could’ve turned into a career


And before anyone posts that their son gave the boss a firm handshake and got a job, we’re discussing macroeconomics here

Hey man

I realize the questions are uncomfortable but they’re not “spam”. They’re real.

I’m here to shed light on the possibility that Bitcoin isn’t the best place to put your money. I ask that the bitcoin crowd be open minded to the possibility that this could all be a massively risky venture based largely on FOMO.

So I ask questions.

I think his point about not spamming threads is that your questions were asked and answered when Bitcoin was $10K. Then again when it hit $20K. Again when it his $30K. Again when it hit $40K. Again when it his $50K. Once again when it hit $60K. Again when it hit $70K. Again when it hit $80K. Again when it his $90K. Again when it hit $100K. Again when it hit $110K. And now - again when it hit $120K.

I hope even a Luddite like you can see the irony in this statement.

Most of Chinas Bitcoin holdings are from criminal seizures. They're the 2nd largest holder.

Chinese citizens are literally banned from buying cryptocurrencies.

Do you know what Chinese citizens are encouraged to buy? Au

You'd think that would be the end of him in this thread, but I'm sure he'll be back to ask more "questions".

It is clearly more valuable than gold, silver and diamonds due to the scarcity and people needed something to store value.

So, Up.
