define intrinsic and define value
and give me an example that fits both definitions

He is right on one thing though, if people don't start to use BTC as a exchange of value BTC will never take of as a global currency. But there is still time for it, we are very early in the process of this happening, but it must happen sooner or later.

Nobody spends their BTC, why? Because of deflation. Why spend BTC today when it will moon tomorrow and be worth more?

About $3900 USD.

When was the last time you bought a physical item with bitcoin that wasn't drugs?

>>3037409
I sell btc for usd to buy things - I'd much rather buy directly with btc. The merchants who do accept btc don't seem willing to hold it so they're passing the selling fees on to us. When more merchants accept it, and they're willing to hold it because volatility drops because more people are holding it, we're all set.

I have bought family members giftcards using my BTC without spending a dime of my initial investment :)

The fundamental shift will occur when workplaces give employees the option to be payed in bitcoin - at that point they'll be holding or buying enough to make payroll. Think about it - no more raises necessary just to keep up with inflation...

>>3037409
BTC is in the discovery and adoption phase, which is why its so volatile. If everybody already has BTC and holds onto it, then it doesn't matter how deflationary it is, its not going to gain value.

No you are partly wrong. The fundamental shift will occur when your landlord, the IRS, your grocery store and all the other gov institutions accept BTC.

I will soon have $10 000 to play with. Is it smart to put 7% - 10% in Gold for the sake of hedging and divers? What I mean is, is it at a fair price right now or within a month or two?

Then you don't understand anything. Wtf are you supposed to do with your BTC when the IRS wants your dollars?! No gov will never accept BTC, but how is BTC gonna solve the IRS problem? As long as taxes exists the demand for dollar will be bing in America, and your boss will pay you in dollars and not in BTC. You maybe can ask him to pay you in BTC, but you will have to use some of it to convert to $

>>3037915

When everybody flees the national currency the govt will have to follow or risk their money being worth zero, at that point they will be accepting cryptocurrency

You will never be able to "flee" the dollar because of the IRS. Anyone who tries to "flee" the dollar will be put in fail.

Paper money is bullshit though, if it's not backed by commodities. Or maybe paper money that's controlled by private banks is the problem.

its called a revolution dude

you are wrong my friend. When the national currency begins becoming massively devalued the choice will be for the government to start buying cryptocurrency as well or risk losing everything, at that point why would they not accept cryptocurrency

How does the irs stop me from connecting to somebody outside of the country to buy or trade crypto

How does the irs prevent me from buying or selling crypto in person on the black market

So it has no intrinsic value then? You can do the same thing with dirt dumbass

>>3037974
the owners of BTC already paid taxes on the money you gave them. Each folio and trade website takes fees from every transaction you make. When you convert back to fiat at an exchange, you pay taxes on the fiat. the IRS gets their money.

If (and when) crypto is in league with nationally accepted currency, the people that get paid by our taxes will probably have already invested in the crypto too. If you want to be esoteric about the whole thing, this is a way of re-ordering who's the jew and who's the gentile. We'll all be just about the same.

Except for nocoiners.

The point is a piece of paper has near zero intrinsic value, the same as dirt

How dumb are you? A piece of paper does not have intrinsic value like rice does

Normies flooding the board REEEEEEEEEEEE

>>3038027
Pretty sure you could ask anyone and they'd rather have the paper more so than the dirt to make art

>>3038043

Ok neat so paper had .0000002 intrinsic value and dirt has .0000001 intrinsic value

KILL. YOUR. SELF.

>>3038041
I'm sorry I was really responding to the dirt post. We all know that you were initially supposed to be able to exchange each individual dollar for a gold piece. Now it's just as good as physical based coins. Wasn't there a russian crypto that you could have to put sand in some beach in order to confirm your wallet?

>>3038068
Your argument is actually retarded and baseless anyway, I shouldnt have entertained it

>>3038043

The point is a piece of paper with USA federal reserve on it has as much intrinsic value as a blank piece of printer paper, if you can't see that you are a mongrol

I already did if you read the thread

The intrinsic value of bitcoin is the same as the intrinsic value of a blank piece of paper which has the same intrinsic value of the us dollar

Inb4 you cry that a blank piece of paper has more intrinsic value than lines of computer code. I FUCKING AGREE but the intrinsic value is so close to nothing that we can all say it has intrinsic value zero.

Class dismissed

>>3038248
>>3038188


And if you want to split hairs like you insist on doing, i could argue the computer code has more intrinsic value than paper because it can be used as a tool to create other types of computer code.

Get fukd

>>3037401
instrinsic value is essentially labour that has been put in
currencies exchange value dont reflect their in labour input thats the whole point though
in any case in an advanced economy labour input is literally the least valuable commodity

>>3038248
>>3038276
>agrees that it has no value
That wasnt so hard. At the end of the day you're going to cash out to fiat, because there is value in the stability of it. BTC is worth even less than money because of its unending volatility. You can argue semantics on what is "intrinsic" or not but you dont see people holding bitcoins in their retirement funds

>>3038366

Dumbass it's a new technology of course we all have to cash out into fiat in the year 2017

>>3038366

In the year 2030 we wont need to cash out to fiat and fiat will have unending volatility. You wont see people holding it in their retirement funds.

See what i just did. Open ur fucking eyes

I hoard my crypto. Someday it may be very valuable, moreso than today. If it isn't, I've lost nothing. If it is, I've gained everything.
Upside > downside.

>>3037609
I spend bitcoin on all sorts of stuff from Amazon and get 15% off with purse.io. I also eat breakfast every day paid for with bitcoin. This has worked out really well over time. I end up getting all of the things cheaper than other suckers who are still using fiat currency for everything. I've stacked some gold too just in case.

>>3038501

Hahahaha it's easy to not panic when you have a lot of money and if you were to lose everything tomorrow in crypto you are still richer than 99% of this board

Can i come? Real men share their cute gf's teehee

Let's see how that pans out, shall we? So far, this is how BTC has performed:
Average Daily increase since 2009 = $1.23
Average Daily increase since 2010 = $1.39
Average Daily increase since 2011 = $1.6
Average Daily increase since 2012 = $1.89
Average Daily increase since 2013 = $2.29
Average Daily increase since 2014 = $2.35
Average Daily increase since 2015 = $3.73
Average Daily increase since 2016 = $5.84
Average Daily increase since 2017 = $12.87

You realize you didn't buy the cat brush with bitcoin right? The merchant received fiat money that the bitcoin exchange company converted for Overstock.

Unless merchants start believing in the value of bitcoin and start accepting bitcoin/any other crypto directly, crypto can't be considered trusted.
