The issue is, its a $3 trillion valuation backed by nothing. You hold a bitcoin in your wallet and your app shows $125k. Where is that $125k of value? Not in a percent of ownership in a company, or in fiat backed bonds from governments or productive companies. When you buy a bitcoin where does your cash go? Likely out of the BTC ecosystem. When you sell it, and want to.convert it to fiat, where does the cash come from? It's more speculative than even the most speculative meme stock unhinged from underlying corporate valuation. It's backed by whales buying by raising debt (not easy to reverse back into cash) and governments like RU and NOKO (not the best place for your retirement money to be parked). Set up a table at a crypto conference that has 50 wallets on it with 1 bitcoin each. See how many diehard crypto people walk by and take out a checkbook and write you a $125k check for one. |
