Eventually we will get back to a world where valuations matter, and where investors concern themselves with investing in companies that generate cash over long periods of time.
Speculative assets like BTC are only good for buying illicit goods on the interweb, or for those looking to make a quick buck on the ignorance of the herd. Both are more risk than I’m willing to take.

What? Fake money going down makes you stop believing in the earnings power of companies? da frick
Maybe not the earnings power of companies, but in what their stock price represents, sure. There is manipulation.
Fake money doesn’t reach 3.5 trillion in value and gain institutional adoption. It’s worth considering what has happened since October and especially the last 48 hours. Of course its flaws are weighed heavily right now.

Tether has switched from BTC to gold pumping. Cartel money shifting out.
Maybe Paolo will throw you guys a bone and pump BTC again soon with another few billion of "backed" tether bucks.
He turned the printer off and BTC has dropped fast

Doesn’t BTC usually have a 5 year cycle? What makes this downswing different than the normal downswing?
There is much that I don’t understand about cryprto.

It’s not fake money. It’s greedy and ignorant money that has driven the inflows. The “institutional” money appears to be either manipulating the market or cutting their losses right now.

If you had told crypto bros a year ago that gold got over 5K and silver over $125 they would have assumed bitcoin 500k minimum. Instead, we now blame these things for bitcoin going down 50%.

There is no schadenfreude at all today because of this. This is a very serious matter. The underlying assets will have BTC back up before you can say money. Hang in there, vapor bros.

As opposed to what?
You think the number on your bank account screen is a real pile of cash sitting in a box with your name on it?

If only there were two very real elements that had monetary track records that span back thousands of years.
