so you are investing or speculating?

i have more than 50% of my portfolio in bitcoins
a few to spare on trades and a few to shill

i'm bs in economics and accounting and i can guarantee to you that it's a fucking huge disruptive technology in the financial sector

it lower transaction costs, it's transparent, it's fast, it's scarce, it's liberal money, etc...

if you think about this asset return in the "long run" - and bitcoin has only 6 years - the 13% dump from yesteroday is nothing.

it came from $0 per coin, hit $1000 per coin, went to $200 pc now it's slowly and consistently going up.

we were at $200 zone like 2 months ago, today we're at 365.. it's already 80%+ return in less than a semester. this is INSANE!

chinese people want just to run from their government tax bites (as much as anyone else want to)

imagine that you've bought it at 10, 50, 100....

the hype is real it's going up in the long run, but people are imediatists and wanna a "become rich fast scheme"... so they buy/pump and sell/dump

if you think in the long run, you'll be fine not panic selling

It's kind of sad, but the real gains of bitcoins will be because it can hold it's purchasing power.

Kek. Dumb chart because it isn't adjusted for inflation. It also does account for increased pay.

As to your argument, yes Bitcoin does need to increase in price to beat inflation. Have you forgotten its pegged to USD and other real currencies? Do you think merchants don't calculate the dollar amount when pricing things in Bitcoin? Go read a basic wiki on finance or something. Either that or stop posting altogether. There's a lot of impressionable kids on this board that might think you know what you are talking about.
>>
>>980052

>>
>>983149
>it isn't adjusted for inflation. It also does account for increased pay.

The chart is a representation of inflation, and increased pay will have a negative effect on the purchasing power of the dollar over time.

>Have you forgotten its pegged to USD and other real currencies?

On who's authority?

I don't like the idea of having bitcoin measured in dollars. Today it's necessary, but in a few years I hope it is measured in ounces of gold or something.

>Do you think merchants don't calculate the dollar amount when pricing things in Bitcoin?

Today, yeah. But they aren't under any duress to do so. In the future if the dollar losses it's global reserve currency status it could very easily change to something else.

>Go read a basic wiki on finance or something

ditto
>>
>>983167
>The chart is a representation of inflation, and increased pay will have a negative effect on the purchasing power of the dollar over time.
If you adjust for inflation, the average salary has pretty much stayed the same for 100 years (not accounting for the fact that women obviously make more now). Purchasing power is also the same and in some instances many goods and services have decreased in cost over the last 100 years because of technological innovation. Don't make me get out my charts again. I thought we went over this same thing like 2 weeks ago here?

I am tired of hearing about the "failing dollar". It is a bunch of bullshit propaganda that goldbugs used to use and now cryptofags have adopted as well.
>>
>>983183
>If you adjust for inflation

I think you're missing the whole point here.

The premise that we MUST have inflation is a myth. People will always spend for what they desire, fake debt that will never be paid back creates false booms and big busts, like we're witnessing now with almost everything.

Accountability means everything.
>>
>>983167
>In the future if the dollar losses it's global reserve currency status it could very easily...
Stupid statement. If the dollar does lose its reserve status in the next 50 years they would use a basket of currencies which would include dollars, yen and euros. Then Bitcoin would just be pegged to that. Most likely nothing would change though and merchants would continue to peg it to whatever currency they most deal in. To think Bitcoin could ever be a stand alone currency is dumb and you should feel dumb for even suggesting it's possible. Yet you don't, because you don't have a good grasp on what exact steps banks, governments and political power structures can do to ensure that it would never happen. The most funny part is that they don't even need to. Bitcoin is a non-threat and always has been.

>>

What point am I missing? Aren't you the one that says the dollar is failing? I have yet to see any one of you prove that the dollar is in any danger of hyperinflation or even losing value compared to all other world currencies.

>or even losing value compared to all other world currencies

The point is that all fiat currencies are doomed for failure, including the dollar.

Such is the nature of fiat.
>>
>>983207
I really do think banks will adopt the blockchain. There is already plans in the making. What you fail to understand is this will not help cryptos in any way. How do you not understand that they won't use Bitcoin?
>>
>>983222
Because you fail to understand the blockchain IS bitcoin.
>>
>>983223
Wrong. I don't even know how you came to that conclusion. You do realize that the blockchain is just a distributed ledger right? Are you saying there can only be one distributed ledger?
>>
>>983231
>Are you saying there can only be one distributed ledger?

There will be sidechains, sure. Copies and altchains, sure.

But the blockchain that started in 2009 will probably ultimately prevail
>>
>>983245
There doesn't need to be sisechains lol. Why would banks adopt a sidechain of Bitcoin when they can just as easily create a new blockchain?
>>
>>983245
Why? Its the most secure because of users but the farms in china will shutdown if price isnt up so its a catch 22.

And if banks are using a vlockchain they dont need to worry about a 51% attavk since the only nodes will be computers they run.

Why would american banks use bitcoin as the backbone when they could just have their own blockchain all together? Why would they trust foreign computers?
>>
>>983256
>>983263
Because a new blockchain set up by banks wouldn't be distributed or decentralised, and if the protocol isn't fair then the whole thing falls apart.
>>
>>983269
It doesn't need to be distributed or decentralized to be useful. Banks don't need it to be fair, they just need a quicker way to come to a concensus on banking transactions especially with interbank transfers. Centralization and fair distribution are only things that people in the small crypto community care about. Banks are not trying to create a currency. They know that it is futile. All they are trying to do is replace their legacy systems with faster and more secure technology because they see innovation in the actual tech. There is a huge difference in Bitcoin, the currency (more accurately just a commodity), and Bitcoin, the underlying technology.
>>
>>983256
>>983231
the network effect is too strong. you don't understand that the protocol and applications are being built on top of the existing blockchain. surely you've considered the value in this?

further, the banks have done nothing but talk as far as developing new blockchain-based technologies. last time I checked, ethereum is the only thing that can fulfill what the banks are talking about and surprise, isn't backed by the banks
>>
>>983300
>Banks don't need it to be fair

Which is why nobody will 'trust' their chain.

It must be open and decentralised for crypto to work, otherwise it just falls apart.

It might not be bitcoin, but everything heading forward is pointing to it.

I see Ethereum on par with Ripple (which has already integrated a few banks into its network). I think the only reason that Ripple was able to pull it off is because it already had strong ties to the banking community and because XRP is mostly centralized (which would be a huge requirement especially if you want price stability). Even then, Ripple was only able to snag relatively small banks (publicity?). I really can't see larger banks taking on that amount of risk to even have a small portion of its concensus tokens in the hand of the public. There is absolutely no reason why they would chose an existing blockchain to backbone their network when they can just as easily create their own. The problem is it can't be piecemeal. It would have to be a consortium of large banks all coming together to come to an agreement on what standards and procedures are to be applied unilaterally and what risk or compliance concerns might arise. The fed would also have to be involved.
>>
>>983310
Trust their chain? Nobody needs to 'trust their chain' lol. People already rely on and trust banks along with the underlying technology and ledgers. No extra trust is necessary. This isn't some fly by night crypto, these are well established institutions. It would happen without really any fanfare. Something along the lines of "oh yeah we upgraded our networks".
>>
>>983335
ripple is a joke and does a tiny fraction of the things that banks would want

>The problem is it can't be piecemeal. It would have to be a consortium of large banks all coming together to come to an agreement on what standards and procedures are to be applied unilaterally and what risk or compliance concerns might arise. The fed would also have to be involved.

lol. you have no idea how things work. software is going to blaze a trail and the banks will follow
>>
>>983342
You don't get what I mean about trust.

It's why the 51% attack would be so destructive.

There would be no need for mining in your case, the whole premise of cryptography would become irrelevant.
>>
>>983335

Banks are going to create their own internal blockchain to send money faster and cheaper.

XRP Ripple does not stand a chance it is dying slowly

Ethereum will only be used by basement nerds why would I own Ethereum?
It is not even meant to be used as a currency outside that ecosystem.
>>
>>983355
because ethereum can enable markets and transactions with orders of magnitude more complexity e.g. loans, credit default swaps, bond markets, stock markets
>>
>>983349
I am not an advocate for Ripple. I don't care if a few small banks have decided to use their network. My point was that Ethereum has even made less traction.

>you have no idea how things work. software is going to blaze a trail and the banks will follow
Blaze a trail through what? Banks are the endgame. There is no other endgame since the banking institutions control world finance. Do you really think they would haphazardly give control of their ledgers over?

The point is that interbank transfers are slow and cumbersome. They know this. It takes days to transfer money from one bank to another, mostly because of the inconsistency with the technology and the inability to come to a consensus on each separate ledger. The only solution is to combine the ledgers of the large banks with one underlying technology. Blockchain technology can accomplish this. They have not had a hard reason to spend the resources to upgrade the technology because most people were OK with the status quo. Now they have a reason to bite the bullet. You are under the false impression that they are looking into blockchain technology because Bitcoin is a threat to them. It is not, mainly because Bitcoin is too volatile and not a great store of value. Wether you want to believe it or not, Ethereum is an even smaller blip on their radar. Blockchain technology is open source and easily replicable. I am asking you again, what would large banks stand to gain by using a decentralized blockchain when they can just use a centralized one under their control?
>>
>>983352
You mean that your definition of cryptocurrency would become irrelevant. Yes it would. Also, there is no threat of a 51% attack if they own 100% of the network.
>>
>>983355
Agreed.
>>
>>983389
>>983393
It would cease to be a cryptocurrency and become an intra-database.

The reason why the blockchain is so interesting, and funnily enough why it works, is because it is decentralised and open, banks are realising this.
>>
>>983389
ethereum is only a few months old. ripple has been around for 3 years

stop parroting what the banks have said. money transfers are not the only things that are slow. SWIFT needs a hard reset. that's what ethereum is attempting to do, and it is creating a network that will allow things that the SWIFT developers i.e. banks never imagined

>Blockchain technology is open source and easily replicable.

no one wants to use a closed-source piece of shit written by bank developers. that's SWIFT. no one wants to work at a bank. having an open network will be exponentially more valuable

>You are under the false impression that they are looking into blockchain technology because Bitcoin is a threat to them. It is not, mainly because Bitcoin is too volatile and not a great store of value.

Bitcoin and Ethereum will become a massive threat in the future. They just don't realize it yet.

>I am asking you again, what would large banks stand to gain by using a decentralized blockchain when they can just use a centralized one under their control?

because that defeats the whole point of having a decentralized blockchain. the whole point of having decentralization is so that anyone can participate and build on top of the network

having a closed system stifles innovation. my thinking is that many of the banks will be too slow to adapt and many of them will be left behind much like what will happen with the auto industry and EV

>>983418
I would address this whole thing but it's just too long and sounds too much like an infomercial for Ethereum lol. The one thing I will say is that you guys are too caught up with what you think cryptocurrencies and the blockchain NEED to be. Corporations will use technology in whatever way serves thier agendas, not yours. Technology is meant to serve the aims of businesses and people, not the other way around.

>"but it needs to be decentralized otherwise what is the point!?"
The point is control. Decentralization limits their control plain and simple.

>"but if it is decentralized then people won't use them!"
Just like people don't use banks now, right? You do realize that banks are fully centralized and have been for a long time? And yet the majority of mankind has opted to use them and trust them with their money.

There are 3 things that people really care about when it comes to thier money storage. Is it safe where I leave it? Can I access it easily? Can I transfer it quickly? Anything else is a non-issue and comes secondary. Banks are only interested in blockchain tech as it relates to these few key areas. The issues of anonymity and openness are only things that libertarians care about. Stop trying to combine the technology with your ideology.

>Just like people don't use banks now, right? You do realize that banks are fully centralized and have been for a long time? And yet the majority of mankind has opted to use them and trust them with their money.

yep. they won't be able to keep up with the pace of innovation that will be taking place outside their closed systems. they will have to contribute to a global network or fade

We are currently at a transitioning phase just a couple of years my friend.

>Pic related
>>
>>983464
Obviously the future will change which is why banks will eventually transition to blockchain tech. The problem with always looking to the future with Bitcoin and Ethereum, however, is that you are depending on it taking off later and not realize what is going on now. Whenever anyone has low expectations of Bitcoin because it has tapered off in interest the last couple years the response is "you don't know the future" as if the fundamentals of Bitcoin will somehow change. How long are we supposed to wait for this fabled "happening"? We just don't see it.

Did you really just say that banks are not able to keep up with innovation? Earlier in the thread you guys said that banks are going to use Ethereum and that's what gives it merit. Lmao. Make up your minds already.

We were having what I thought was a pretty good discussion on why the dollar is not failing, how inflation works, inner operations of the banking system, and why the blockchain is a viable technology for banks even though Bitcoin itself is not. Then all the sudden I ask a point blank question as to what evidence there is that banks will use Ethereum over a centralized private ledger and all the sudden the discussion devolves into name calling. It's funny to me because every Bitcoin discussion on this board ends this way. Either come up with semi-intelligent arguments and nut up or just shut up. Shitposting does not help your cause, Larry.
>>
Blockchains are secured by the miners. Miners are incentivized with units of account on the block chain.

If the banks introduced their own block chain and all agreed on using a single unit of account they will have to trust one another even though they are in direct competition. Banks will have to adopt an open, decentralized block chain which functions globally.

Ethereum is Turing complete and opens a whole can of worms for black hats.

Usually the path of least resistance and network effects rule supreme. It's good enough and if it's not broken don't fix it.

Bitcoin will be the anonymous, paperless currency of the future and it will be used any time someone wants to transact without a record.

Going to the strip club? Bitcoin
Paying the neighbours kid to mow the lawn? Bitcoin
Purchasing contraband? Bitcoin

In a cashless society a digital native currency which functions separate from governments will have tremendous value.

Stay in the stupid ages nocoiners.
>>
>>983747
>Banks will have to adopt an open, decentralized block chain which functions globally.
Not necessarily. All they would have to do is have centralized validating nodes that join together to form a consensus. These would be controlled by a central authority like the fed or a conglomerate of central banks. A committee would have oversight of the central ledger.

No matter how much you want an anonymous currency it will never happen. Governments have already labeled it a commodity and subject to capital gains taxes. This means there will be no future where you can transact without a record as Bitcoin exchanges and all other services will be subject to regulation and KYC laws. Although Bitcoin itself is decentralized, the services that sit on top of the network are not. This means that the government can easily shut them down if they don't comply. Your pipe dream is implausible.

Off record is the key. Sure banks can hop aboard blockchain tech but bitcoin's power rests in "off the books" and under the table transactions.

I agree with this. I am not a total contrarian lol. I do believe that Bitcoin will always have an underground following from people who care about anonymous transactions and aren't averse to the stigma that Bitcoin carries. Wether it be drug sales, tax evasion, money laundering or any other type of money transfer where a hidden identity is useful, Bitcoin will at least serve some purpose. I just don't see any way that Bitcoin will ever have the widespread use that Bitcoin promoters think that it should and certainly not as a currency. The IRS ruling of Bitcoin as a commodity was a fair assessment of how it is used. The fact that it is primarily hoarded and speculated on for gains/losses in fiat and only marginally used for trade through merchants, makes it a property just like gold, crude oil, or wheat. Bitcoiners think that price volatility is due to the fact that Bitcoin does not have wide acceptance yet, but in reality the volatility is due to the uneven distribution. The fact that a thousand wallets own the majority of Bitcoin is a fatal flaw and one that will always haunt Bitcoin.
>>
>>984242
Bitcoin isnt valuable for the reason you think it is. Bitcoin is not anonymous. Anyone could with little effort, work out all your transactions.

The reason its valuable is because there will only ever be 21 million of them and the whole system is backed by provaby secure cryptographic mathematics. It solves the byzantine generals problem and satoshi nakamoto is nominated for a nobel prize.
>>
>>984242
Australia ruled it as a currency which had the side effect of putting most australian bitcoin startup financial companies out of business.

I really couldnt give a flying fuck about what bitcoin is designated as by some government agency. There is nothing they can do to affect bitcoin. The network will last forever. You will always be able to transact.

This guy got a valid point, how is this any different from todays money, the 1% is already there?
>>
>>984242
All this FUD coming out, looks like the price is due to shoot up to 500$ in a couple of days.
>>
>>984328
Those that are the "1%" in today's model concentrate their wealth at a faster pace.

Bitcoins deflationary model means that over time the shift will move away from those "1k wallets" or whatever, because either they spend one day or their die with it.
>>
>>984365
>Bitcoins deflationary model means that over time the shift will move away from those "1k wallets" or whatever, because either they spend one day or their die with it.

I understand your point here, but what if they don't spend it all at once and it will heritage to family members.

I see some people got atleast 150k + bitcoins on their wallet, i really can't see the difference between hoarding btc and "real" money, also you can manipulate the market if you got tons of bitcoins or team up with other the 1% or am i wrong here?
>>
>>984375
Yeah, it could be inherited later, the point is though that over time the influence of these hands should gradually decrease. if they never do get spent then I guess they could be considered lost coins.

And yeah, manipulation is totally a thing. I've been following price movements since 2012, and I've seen tons of 10k+ whales get absolutely btfo at trying to manipulate the price, I'd guess there is still a few left but at the scale it is now and how distributed it is, it's no longer as easy as a 10k market sell on gox to get everyone to flip their shit. Now you're going to need 2-3k market sells on 5 different exchanges to have any impact.

Still possible but I've seen it gradually become harder and harder, and its so easy for those that try to get rekt.
>>
>>984383
Okay ty for info.
>>
>>984310
Scarcity means nothing if the intended use isn't the actual use.

>>984314
There are plenty of things they can do to affect Bitcoin. They don't need to though because it has never been a threat.

>>984328
It's not any different. Anyone who buys a Bitcoin and helps increase the total transaction volume is voluntarily agreeing that some neckbeard who had a sweet gaming rig at the right time should be a multimillionaire. He's pretty much saying "here take my money, bro" and places himself at the bottom of the pyramid where it is now his turn to collectively shill with all the other Bitcoin hoarders. You agree to whatever arbitrary price they decide you should pay so they can recoup whatever losses they spent on electricity and hardware. Meanwhile even the Winklevoss twins must be sweating because thier Bitcoins used to be worth 10 times what they paid for it and now only double. Thier laughable $400 billion valuation isn't looking too good now. If I were them I would just quit while I was ahead. Long cons hardly ever work.

>>984383
Yea exactly. They just cash out, take the money and run. I'm surprised all of the big wallets haven't done this.

50% of all bitcoins in the hands of 1000 people.
That's just wrong and the main reason I am selling bitcoins and slowly buying into Gulden. https://timeline.gulden.com/
Have 100 bitcoins in a cold wallet and the rest cashing out depending on market price.
>pic related

Gulden seems a much better currency and is actually used as a currency and is very very undervalued.
In the Netherlands you can use it at Subways https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3wBJWTKJ6M

Also discuss Gulden >>982016
>>
>>984741

where I live you can order food from around 100 restaurants with bitcoins. every convenience store sells bitcoins. we have bitcoin atms. if I travel to any major city on the world, I can find a bitcoin trader.

can't say the same for gulden.

and I don't get why people "invest" in bitcoin. it's a transaction system. it's like you're putting a million bucks on your debit card, except with a lot more risk.
>>

>Come again?

Everywhere you can use Bitcoin you can use Gulden and vice versa.

They are going to launch a android and ios app for it.

Gulden is overvalued at $0.0015 per coin, with 300mill currently outstanding considering 1.6 billion supply will eventually crush it to $0.0001.

It was really nice and easy but didn't know about Austria will visit your country and check it out.
I am from the Netherlands and we also have a lot of places that accept bitcoin you should come visit.

They are launching an special bitcoin gulden app as I understood.

You should check out Gulden and Nocks and see I am right, especially living in Europe it would be more interesting because their main focus is to be direct competition against the Euro.

>>984845
Total of 1.680.000.000
Around 22 million mined every year, you do the math.
Expected price 0.45 eurocent per coin according to devteam but that will be much higher.

>I guess you also said bitcoin was a fail when it was sub 1 dollar lolz

There are going to be only 1680 Gulden millionares ever!
You made a mistake not being an early adaptor with bitcoin you will do the same with Gulden.

If I invested 10$ on every new cryptocurrency that came out, would I have anything at all after 10 years?

Everybody remembers Bitcoin for going from worthless to peaking at 1000$ per coin.

Thing is, that only happened due to a combination of sudden factors like China, Mt Gox, and a huge influx of buyers as the concept of cryptocurrency itself was finally "discovered" mainstream. Not bitcoin itself.

Now the market is saturated with worthless imitators of the concept hoping for a quick pump and dump since they're so susceptible by nature. Not to mention extremely vulnerable to theft and the possibility of being broken when on the way to going up the computing singularity in the next 100 years when alternative computing finally takes off.

These seem to all be penny stocks, the only value is in the name "Bitcoin" because that's what people are familiar with thanks to media and this can't really be replicated. That standard has already been adopted.

Huh. Reading into it the Bitcoin bubble was bots as well. Factor in the theft that occurred later, that's a hell of a scam the people behind MtGox pulled off.

I am issuing a personal Jewish Challenge to any remaining kikes in this thread: In approximately 225 days from the time of this post the Bitcoin reward for mining blocks will drop by half. This event: occurring on Thursday July 21, 2016, which I will nickname "Kike Thursday" will mark the start of Bitcoin's rapidly approaching economic scarcity which will send the price soaring. My challenge to any remaining kikes in this thread is to refrain from selling any of your coins between now and Kike Thursday regardless of any short-term changes to the price.

I understand that a lot can happen in a year and that we may even see the price drop to unremarkable levels. The challenge lies in holding back from your tendency to chase after quarters in the street with your slimy, greasy, outstretched claws and beak-like noses, and instead embrace the principal that we all first learned of in synagog which is: "always trust the white man to chase carrot and miss string." If you can follow this advice Yahweh will surely bless us Jewish pursuits and collectively we will make a fortune.

Bitcoin isn't going to magically increase in price once the bitcoin reward halves. Why? Because this is a known event to happen, and the price is already factored in. Bitcoin is plagued with useless speculators who do nothing but horde. Why would speculators invest more money after the halving occurs when they can buy just before?

In the case of alt-coins: not every coin is created equal but the ones which make significant contributions to economics or cryptography are sound investments. I have already made 50% on a fairly obscure alt-coin and the price is still experiencing growth so the joke is on you faggot. You can keep investing in your shitty index funds and stocks like the rest of /biz/ but I am hedging my bets on the future.

There aren't many coins worth investing besides Bitcoin except maybe 3, the rest are random p and d's.

>I invested 10$ on every new cryptocurrency that came out, would I have anything at all after 10 years?
>Everybody remembers Bitcoin for going from worthless to peaking at 1000$ per coin.
>Thing is, that only happened due to a combination of sudden factors like China, Mt Gox, and a huge influx of buyers as the concept of cryptocurrency itself was finally "discovered" mainstream. Not bitcoin itself.
>Now the market is saturated with worthless imitators of the concept hoping for a quick pump and dump since they're so susceptible by nature. Not to mention extremely vulnerable to theft and the possibility of being broken when on the way to going up the computing singularity in the next 100 years when alternative computing finally takes off.
>These seem to all be penny stocks, the only value is in the name "Bitcoin" because that's what people are familiar with thanks to media and this can't really be replicated. That standard has already been adopted.

nice way of thinking bro...

He may be correct though, I have seen bitshares launch 2.0 and that Gulden, what happens is they get a countdown timer then they dump after, I lost 140$s.

It will most likely dump on the halving then go back up.

I love bitcoin, but i'm not going to lie.

But on the other hand im noticing something odd, the price is volatile only when the pumping stops, if any dumps could happen it would massively make bitcoin look bad from all the infrastructure people are investing in, and scare people away.

I think the price right now on how it's like watching paint dry was intended from now on.

>>991683
Oh one more thing, if you get ANY kind of news that is bullish, the price has already been set in a week or weeks before the news.

Same goes with stocks.

Monero is the underdog. You heard it here first. Just wait for 3-4 months.

>>993407
Gulden going to be used in more stores worldwide than Bitcoin.

>That is the truth it has already made public
>>
>>993467
People are selling Monero to buy Gulden.

kek.

I bet you were a Munero shill a few months ago
>>
>>991683

Usually I'd say you're right but at the moment 1.4 million dollars in bitcoins are being created each and every day and the price remains fairly stable, meaning the market is absorbing these new coins every day

After the halving the price really can only rise as there literally will be only half the coins created each day till the next halving in 4~ years

>tfw /biz/ talk me out of investing bitcoin when it was ~250/BTC.
Now it is 450/btc
FUCK you all.

Never listen to no coiners. Thats a fast way to the poorhouse

My investment has gone up 23% in the past 2 weeks alone. Toplel.

This is why you never listen to biz for anything.
>>
>>994673
All the nocoiners that told you not to invest are just butthurt that they bought in at $1100/btc. Right it's not too late to jump in, but only spend as much you can afford to lose.

No here is the thing, no one is counting the economic collapse, Bitcoin is the prime canidate for the most absolute police state. The global ledger and up coming projects like the internet of things arte equivalent to skynet from the terminator.

Im one that you call a "nocoiner" that is thinking of turning into a coiner.

Should i hop into this spike? or is it gunna fall any time soon.

Because i heard that the are gunna slash the mining value of it next year so im gunna guess that will make it exponentially more expensive so thus why i wish to become a coiner.

I wonder if people said that about the typical Google investor 11 years ago, and Bitcoin as a whole looks to have much more promise going forward.

Meh. Bitcoin is an insignificant part of my overall portfolio and I'm investing mostly for ideological reasons.
>>
>>996510
Then why are you asking us how fucked you are? Just sweat it out or take your losses like a pro.

Bitcoin is volatile, if you didn't know that going in...
>>
>>996380
literally nothing. just a bunch of retards in their 20's who think they know everything about money and how currencies work.
>>
>>996387
look at what you just said. there are literally hundreds of thousands of investment opportunities and your logic applies to every single one of them. Only a small percentage of these investments actually go anywhere. People who doubted google had a good reason at the time. People who invested in google were taking a huge chance but they were lucky.

For me this will be my last post in these kind of threads directed at nocoiners.

Dear nocoiners,
>By now more than a billion dollars of venture capital has flown into bitcoin/blockchain tech. This is only the publicly visible part.
>Big financial institutions have formed working groups to study bitcoin, google for example R3.
>New tech like ethereum has anyone who has the capability to understand the theory and technicalities behind it creaming their pants. If you are looking at BTC as just a currency, you dont understand the concept and the implications at all.
>Another part of the big financial players are in full shill mode to separate the blockchain concept from the bitcoin "trademark". Multiple times they have tried to patent blockchain related tech.

At this point, nocoiners are no longer the healthy sceptic. They are that crazy old guy that still swears the internet does not have that much of an impact on society and who refuses to get a smartphone.
