As Bitcoin defies all the nay sayers yet again is on the cusp of creating a new all time high (in AUD), actual price $78700 AUD versus all time high of around $82800, for holders, are you thinking of selling or buying more? For non-holders, do you plan to buy more?
Very interesting to be doing comparisons with other investments, like property and shares. I cannot have accumulated my current net worth without bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. I just did a stocktake recently and found out I now have more than 600BTC and I have yet to complete the stocktake as I still have addresses which have less than 0.2BTC which I have written off before because it was chump change, but now worth quite a bit (circa over $15k for the 0.2 BTC addresses).
I still cannot understand why property investment gets all the hype when it has been proven time and time again that Bitcoin returns are way way better. It just really boggles my mind, am I missing something here? I'm very excited for the Halvening and the upcoming bull market.
For the nay sayers, what does it take for you to change your mind about crypto? Government regulation has arrived, its virtually impossible for Western governments to ban Bitcoin.
Thanks - but again i don't think this addresses the more fundamental question
You've provided all the reasons to dislike fiat, but I don't see why it makes Bitcoin or crypto the next alternate store of wealth
Again, can I please understand - what is the difference between bitcoin and [gold or any tangible assets that can be used in real life]..
I get your point on limited quantity and people wanting it but more importantly why do people want it?
At least with gold if people decide they dont want it, the speculative value of gold will evaporate, leaving you with fundamental value (using it to make stuff)
If people decide Bitcoin is a scam, how much you reckon the fundamental value of it is?
Again I emphasize, I am not saying Bitcoin is bad. I am just saying i fail to see how it can be a "hedge" when the value depends so heavily on speculation of what happens next
