Yeah, hype moves the market short term, but the long-term story is about adoption and utility, not who’s promoting it today.


I agree there has been more adoption, mostly from FOMO. It has completely failed as a currency because it is so volatile. It’s use as a store of value is an ongoing evolution.

But your description about scarcity and increasing adoption means there is no understanding the market, it’s always a good time to buy bitcoin?

That’s a common misconception. A Ponzi scheme relies on promised returns paid from new investors’ money. Bitcoin doesn’t promise anyone returns, and it’s fully transparent on-chain. Its value comes from scarcity (only 21M coins), decentralization, and global demand as a censorship-resistant store of value. It’s not a scam it’s a monetary revolution in real time.


The only reason it holds any "value" is because a bunch of HODLer idiots like you have been convinced it's worth something. Especially the sh*t coins. Do you really think Fart Coin has value? Lol. There is absolutely no intrinsic value to any of these coi s outside of that. Unlike gold and silver which have other uses, what do you do with a bitcoin other than speculate it is "going to the moon"? The entire coin universe is nothing but some get rich quick promises and it will eventually bust.

That was true a decade ago. Now even banks and nations hold Bitcoin. I made my first million investing in it, it’s way more transparent than most people realize.

It's a ponzi scheme that will eventually all come tumbling down. NW is between $4-$5 million

Not really. I do not doubt the technology will be important at some point. But there is nothing to bitcoin. No purpose. No revenue. No value. It is stupid. I agree with everything else you say.

It’s a number go up greater fool machine? What is the market you are studying? There is no underlying value, no revenue, it’s a hype cycle. Is it based on who is hyping it (ie now the WH, tomorrow the UN?)

I don't have the interest or energy to really study the bitcoin market so I stay away from it. Maybe I should read Bitcoin for Dummies and then invest $100k. With my luck it would crash the next day.
