You do realize asking JPMorgan, the largest bank, to weigh in on Bitcoin and crypto is like asking Barnes and Noble to weigh in on Amazon in 1997.

They just provided stats of 600k clients accounts. Very few people had actually gained from owning Bitcoin.

Without knowing the details, that just sounds like folks making horrible decisions on when to sell - which, interestingly enough, is a problem with retail stock investing so nothing new/unique here.

Right now, literally everyone who owns Bitcoin and bought more than 30 days or so ago, is up.

Now, if you bought in March @71k and sold in Aug @55k then that's on you for locking in the loss.

My advice to everyone here: buy low, sell high - not the other way around.

It seems mathematically impossible that Bitcoin could go from zero to 100k and MOST people would have lost money. I get there was substantial volatility along the way but still.

No one said a little exposure to blockchain technology is bad. But again, the whole crypto thing is volatile and risky. Anyone remember Silvergate? https://silvergate.com/

Silvergate? Hahah talk about cherry picking. You might as well bring up SBF, Voyager and blockfi, while you’re at it.

Why are you so angry? You’re clearly triggered. For the folks who have bought Bitcoin and are happy with our choice, why does that bother you? Nobody is forcing you to buy or look into BTC. Your posts come across as butthurt and sour. The ““dinosaurs” with millions of dollars in investments” says it all.

I feel like there is one poster on here who keeps repeating this same tired sht.

Because most of these negative posts come from risk averse parents most likely. Bitcoin is not Holland and Tulips. It’s not beanie babies. This is another asset like gold. It’s not riskier than buying a low rated bond. It’s volatile as fk, but if you chart its history you’ll see, like the S&P, it just goes up over time. No one cares if you don’t buy it.

Not only that, Silvergate is not a great pick in that ultimately it was a banking issue that involved crypto but wasn't a crypto issue per se. Just a good 'ol fashioned run on the bank - a tale as old as time itself. Not only that, all the depositors were made whole so really not much to see here.

I have no issue with you making money on bitcoin. But stop fooling yourself - it is NOT like gold. It has no intrinsic value. Gold always has and always will have value.

Enjoy your asset bubble, but understand, like all bubbles it will eventually pop.

Then why are you posting on here repeatedly? Wasn’t that the original question? Time to move on to a Reddit. People here don’t recognize how much of a financial wizard you are - “unless you out yourself” per your other post. Your talents will be appreciated somewhere else.

We have about 70 million in investments.

I've always been deeply opposed to crypto. Last year, crypto currency funded every kind of dangerous criminal. I would not touch crypto in a million years. Bitcoin is going to zero. If I was the government I'd close it down. People are losing money to scams and hucksters and flim-flam artists. These people who own these things should not own them. If you put your money into any of those things I do think you're an idiot.

More doom and gloom from chicken little with a little fantasy thrown in for good measure.

Every time you post this, it's basically the same - the only thing that changes is that your net worth keeps going up! LOL!

Keep it up, 3 or 4 more posts and you'll be worth a half a billion!

Neither gold nor bitcoin generate cash, if that is the test of intrinsic value. Certainly, there are plenty of digital things that have economic value.

[Anonymous]

Things have value because we agree they do. The Mona Lisa has no "intrinsic value" but is "worth" a billion dollars. Gold has no "intrinsic" value but has been used as a store of value since the earliest civilizations. The dollar has no "intrinsic" value but is the global reserve currency and is supported by oil pricing and a large military, among other things. With each of these things humanity collectively agrees on the value. Same with Bitcoin. Even though it is a highly complex software program/blockchain, people agree it is worth $100K per Bitcoin. As Jay Powell just said, it now competes with gold as an alternative mechanism for storing value. Not sure why this is so controversial or annoys certain people so much.

People lost vast sums by having their crypto stolen from holding companies, wallets, and other scams.
