Those analysis dont take into account the future. The future is unknown. There is always uncertainty about it and risk. That is why you always buy low, sell high. And that is why you dont go full crypto.

The higherst and lowest point on the chart is not your target.

This is a long game and for people who doesnt really need those money to live.

Everybody can be richer than everybody else - all they have to do is all buy bitcoin together. There is no limit to how high the human imagination can soar!!

She was some Russian defector that wrote books about the glories of meritocracy and the evils of government and regulation. When libertarians wants to justify letting people do whatever they want, they like to refer back to Rand.

I don’t think all markets should be deregulated. I share his views about money not being something dictated by the state but something that is allowed to evolve.

But funny what you people project on others to justify your views about something you don’t understand and are not even interested in.

I have two reasons why I’m in favor or Bitcoin over the legacy monetary and financial system.

I like to be in control of my own wealth and in control of the devices I have. I don’t like to use proprietary apps and systems I have zero control or confidence in to hold my money or do my transactions with. When I first discovered Bitcoin I was looking for a way to get rid of my credit and debit card and have something completely opensource I can run on my own. Bitcoin offered not only that but actually a lot more I soon discovered. I had a Bitcoin and Lightning node running and studied the technology months before I bought my first Satoshis.

The second reason is that I simply don’t like the current monetary system. I don’t like that banks don’t pay me interest because they can multiply the money I give them. I don’t like that there are institutions that can just print and inflate money and basically devalue what I worked for and make me earn less. I want to hold the money I earn in a currency or asset that has none of this flaws. Bitcoin gives me this option and it works, no matter what you say.

Lol, it’s highly divisible (8 decimal places), and it’s easy to do purchases.

Bitcoin just reached 1T market cap. That is quite the achievement for a ponzi scam. I’m sure it will collaps any momemt now.

But jokes aside. I’m still not selling.

So your solution is to use bitcoin, a system that still almost always requires third parties to execute transactions and has even less protection for the user than Paypal or a credit card?

> I don’t like that banks don’t pay me interest because they can multiply the money I give them.

If your bank isn’t paying you interest on your (non-trivial) deposits you’re doing something very, very wrong.

> I don’t like that there are institutions that can just print and inflate money and basically devalue what I worked for and make me earn less.

So your solution is to use bitcoin, a fiat currency where the whims of the market can instantly wipe out your wealth every time the price drops?
