Bitcoin doesn't even seem to be money, or 'peer to peer cash'.
For a start its not peer to peer like real cash, there are privately owned intermediaries called miners.
Secondly, real cash in the bank can be exchanged one to one with real notes and coins with the same face value. Bitcoin can't and must be converted to real money at the prevailing market rate. Its like a foreign currency that nobody in the country wants to accept unless they can convert it at a good rate.
Thirdly most people who are accepting bitcoin for payments really want cash and not bitcoin, so the bitcoin will get sold ASAP. Bitcoin is not even money in these transactions, it is simply a fancy money wiring service, a vehicle to transmit converted cash from one account to another. Its like using western Union.

You're either retarded or purposefully obfuscating (ie. lying).

Many stocks DO provide value, in the form of dividends. Your entire premise has a stick of TNT shoved up it's ass and lit, right there.

If you buy enough stock, you can actually control a company. More value.

If you hold enough stock, in some cases, you can vote for issues regarding the company. Oh, look, more value.

Stocks are valued on many things, but for the vast majority, the actual value of physical assets and real estate and inventory are calculated in. Wow, value.

what does this even mean brainlet? the lint in my pocket could be a "private currency" if I could trick enough idiots into accepting and trading it, which is exactly what happened with crypto.

The reason fiat/USD is never going to be dethroned as the predominant currency, at least in our lifetime, is that the DEBT of the United States secures the value of their currency.

The entire world wants to see the USD continue succeeding because the USA has so much outstanding debt that should their dollar fail or be displaced, those countries/corporations whom are owed the debt would not be able to collect.

Cryptocurrency has the entire might of the global financial markets fighting against it. It's a lost cause, truly. We get to have some fun playing around in this sub-$1 trillion market for a few years and then it'll eventually disappear entirely.

I'm saying that
1) IPO's provide value
2) IPO's could never exist if the assets gained in an IPO could not somehow be liquidated at a later point
3)Therefore either reselling or forced buybacks from the company side (which negates the point of raising capital) have to exist and indirectly provide value.

Face it, until there are credible real-world uses for blockchain technology, this market is going to be based on pure speculation.

Bitcoin is such an awesome idea in theory, but in practice it hasn't lived up to its original purpose.

>Its like using western Union.
Western Union with a usage tax. That's the number one reason everyday use of Bitcoin has fallen flat on it's face. If I buy a cup of coffee with bitcoin, it's a taxable event. The entire loop of bitcoin makes no sense, at the retail/everyday life level. Take money from bank account, that's already been taxed. Buy bitcoin, pay fees to exchange For purchase. Use bitcoin, to buy goods and services. Tax event, and more fees to make transaction (which may be slower than normal payment methods, which isn't good in a "market" where the value can change up to 10% in less than an hour).

The reality is, unless you're hodling, USING Bitcoin, especially as a US citizen, is simply not cost effective, it's an extra layer or two or three that isn't more convenient, and costs you more than if you just use cash, a debit card, or credit card.

The entire Bitcoin space, aside from simply buying a coin and holding it, is designed to leech fees off you and make your investment worth less just by using it. There is no competitive or financial advantage to using crypto in everyday life. But you mongs think it'll be worth 100k a coin. Yeah...okay.

The only real argument put forward here is "It tells the jews banks to fuck off" - but the crypto marketplace is ripping you off worse than the "jew" banks and institutions could ever dream of doing. And you're doing it willingly. And, worse, you want to replace the current system with one that sucks your blood harder than any jew could hope to do.

changes requiring a switch at that scale will happen gradually enough usually and existing coins can be forked with drastic upgrades if needed. there will be a period of volatility and chaos, opportunity and loss, before the markets stabilize and choose the winners and losers with every set of paradigm shifts in the application of the technologies. in time it will stabilize with volume and use, this is the speculation phase where you can make money on volatility before the markets become more stable.

Cryptocurrency has value because it allows you to buy things on the black market through the web without handing out your personal information. Bitcoin isn't really that great for this type of thing anymore, but privacy based crypto will have value as long as there's people buying and selling illicit products. When you're buying illicit products you're not paying taxes either.

It's already inflationary. Mining in general generates new coins which makes it inflationary. Ether has no hard cap on coins, it's always been inflationary as are many other cryptos.

That's now what I care about in the least bit regarding crypto.

Most money doesn't exist IRL. It's just digits in someone's ledger.

I'm more interested in the ability to easily reconcile ledgers without long dispute processes. The ability to transfer large sums in far quicker times than the ACH system would allow. And the ability to truly control all my assets rather than having a broker hold everything for me, or the ability to easily transfer them to my kids posthumously.

All of which I can easily and reliably do with blockchain tech. It meets my needs in a way no other tech does. I honestly want the USD to move onto a blockchain and run that way as well. I'd prefer it over Tether, TrueUSD, and all these other knock offs.

Decentralization is great for democratic processes on a global level. But individual tokens can still be centralized and controlled with ease. Something like Ether is more a resource for using the chain than it is an actual money. Actual money would be a token on chain that exists stably and backed by a central entity or physical assets.

You would do it to exchange tokens or stocks without needing to go to a centralized broker.

I do it every time I pay a bill online. Which is all of them. I don't carry cash anymore, I do everything online. And guess what? I don't pay extra fees to do it, and I don't get taxed on the transactions as capital gains.

Fiat IS digital currency now, and it's more efficient and less costly than crypto. Just give it up, already. There is no use case for crypto at the street level. None. Especially as 99.99% of employers pay in fiat, and pay taxes for you on it before it reaches you account.

You actually do pay extra fees for paying bills online. Especially with shit like rent. Already your credit card company siphons 3% off of each transaction you process, then a company like square or paypal siphons off even more plus a minimum fee, and then the payment processor (billpay, or whoever) goes and charges an extra percentage fee as well. I've seen up to 80 extra dollars on bills I paid through BillMatrix before.

At the time I was buying $5k or so worth of small purchases monthly for a business I was running. It was pretty regularly my card would receive a block until I called in. You might be zoomer but it happened a lot a 10+ years ago when buying anything online that wasnt shipped, a lot less nowadays. I was trying some mmo out recently BDO and they made me send in all kind of documents just to buy upgrades in their game because I wanted to use a cc instead of Paypal. It was the middle man cc processor.

Also, when you buy over $5k worth of gift cards in a single month most gift card distributors require you to fill out KYC papers before allowing you to buy anymore.

Even coinbase cc purchases, I had to call in to approve on two seperate ccs.

The most annoying part was my card has been fraudulently used maybe ~3 times, and each time they let it go through over the last decade. So their fraud prevention never helped me. I love the debit cards where I can switch them on/off via my phone and I never have to worry about it being used fraudulently even if my info is stolen somehow.

Most issues with credit cards have mostly evaporated in the last 5 years. The rise of ubiquitous payment portals such as Paypal, the willingness of banks to utilize sameday ACH, the prevalence of consumer fraud protection expedience (Did you authorize this purchase? Reply YES or NO) has really lowered the barrier to this issue for pretty much everyone.

For the record, rent clears almost immediately unless you have a shit-tier bank/credit union. They can't afford to hold up your shit given the lack of loyalty in bank customers. People can/do/have switched banks over something as simple as that.

What I mean is bitcoin can serve its function equally well if it's value is $1 or 1 million dollars.
Like, someone spent literally $19,000 to buy some digits in a database in December and now it's worth $7500. But all they own are some digits in a database.

Credit cards and payment portals like paypal still add layer upon layer of transaction fees.

If you use paypal to securely pay with credit cards 6+% + a minimum fee of about 90 cents.

Not a huge deal, but adds up and on large transactions a blockchain is far more efficient. Less so for microtransactions of a couple of cents as the fee may be higher than the charge if you are buying coffee. That's a scaling issue that the community is working on.

we just need some kind of banana oracle for proof of banana on the blockchain (joking, thats probably not possible). but yes, thats the problem with anything backed by assets, that the assets have to be held somewhere. but at least the units of value representing the bananas can gain advantage from not requiring a centralized institute of trust. nobodies going to be printing extra banana tokens or making counterfeits or stealing all the banana dollars on a single computer somewhere hacked, if you use crypto. you just have to worry that they actually grow and sell the bananas as planned and report that, which is where a supply management aspect of the blockchain could be put into use.
