I would love to hear you explain the point you think you’re making.

I like Bitcoin, I even read the white paper on it back in like 09. I even made a bit of money on it over the years when it bounced around between 5k and 15k. And it was a major impetus for me to buy Nvidia stock in the mid teens. I wish I would have hung on to all the Nvidia I had bought instead of diversifying over time. All that said, when the Trump starts running around talking about what a great investment someone is, it is time to get the fuck out. Those guys will take this great opportunity to make the USA the leader in crypto to gladly fuck everyone in the ass.
Those guys are crooks. Be wary. Because by the time you realize the jig is up, Trump and his friends will be laughing.

Simple question for my simple mind. What value does bitcoin have?

Why don't you tell us all what your definition of money is
BTC isn’t hard money. It isn’t even money.Quote:

BTC does not exhibit price stability- it has annualized volatility north of 50% vs the dollar’s single digit vol.
It is not fungible. Transaction costs are still crazy and it’s dependent on conversion to USD or some other third party setup to transact, which eliminates all the benefits of the decentralized system that it is hyped up for being.
It is barely portable without access to a network and keys.
This pissing match would not exist in a bear market. There is a fundamental gap in some peoples' heads about "being right" and making money. The choice is theirs and I don't bother myself with it.
How you claim to be right when you don’t even understand the arguments is hysterical.Quote:
