Bitcoin.

Isn't it a guarantee that the price will at least be higher than now in 1 to 4 years(halvings)? Maybe not 100k or 1Million but higher than 11k. Why not relax and wait a couple of years. Altcoins will follow.

Yes, and it becomes self-fulfilling. Each dollar it rises further means that it will rise another dollar. 0 to 1000 was much harder of a gambit than 1000 to 1m.

Nothing about the price of Bitcoin is "guaranteed."

It could go to $40K.
It could go to $1K.
It could go up and down between $3K and $10K for two years, THEN dump to $1K. Or moon to $50K.

Nobody knows.

Anybody who tells you that they "know" is an idiot.

We are months away from 6 figure values.

First period 2009 to 2012(pre halving)
Available: 10,500,000 BTC (50% mined)
Price increased from : 0.1 to 31 $ (319 times growth)

Second Period 2012 to 2015 (1st halving was 11/2012)
Best Buy was a year before Halving
Available :15,750,000 (75% mined)
Price increased from : 1.85 to 1135 S (575 times Growth)

Third period 2015 to 2018 (2nd Halving was 6/2016)
Best Buy was a year before Halving
Available :18,375,000 (87.5% mined)
Price increased from : 165 to 19k S (115 times Growth)

Considering that the low value after the bubble has been 3200 usd let´s assume we grow instead of 115 times , half of that(a massive reduction in growth) , 57,5 times.

That gives us a price of 182k somewere around 2021.

And this is assuming a massive slowing down in the price increases happening between halvings.

Who thought it could go to 10k 8 years ago? People would have laughed back in the times. Thinking about 100k ++ makes me crazy because I own one and I am a poor guy. House Prices in GER are unpayable...

>>14908759
not necessarily. halvings only affect your supply. Depends what the demand is. this is why an unchanging rate of adoption like some niggers here like to post is not very relevant, because as long as demand stays steady and supply decreases over time you'll have a higher market price

>> No.14909330

>>14908846
This is incorrect.
You can say with more evidence that: "Bitcoin will go to 100k." than "Bitcoin will go to zero."
It won't go to zero because every dollar it goes down there will be two people who will buy it.
It will go to 100k because it is a scare asset and the halving reduces the new supply brought to market.
Mining is the only thing keeping the price 'down.'

It will never totally go to zero at this point, as long as there is someone willing to run a single mining rig it will have some value.
Further, there is so much asic mining equipment out there now that if prices every really collapsed, it would be possible to buy old miner on ebay for $50 and get into the mining game.
Its a bit like saying "if everyone stops using linux" at this point...at a certain size it just wont happen.

the word "zero" can't be used in a sentence with bitcoin unless it's talking about how many zeros to the RIGHT of the primary numeral.

everything which is a "store of value" including gold is a pyramid/ponzi/greater fool scheme. It is what it is. Profit from it. Don't brig me the argument that gold has value because of "muh industrial usage" bullshit that is a negligible part of golds value.

>past behavior predicts future behavior

It is a baseless assumption that the price was rising because of the halving. There's a correlation between halving and price increase, but it's not necessarily causal.

Halvings are priced-in. As priced-in as a thing can possibly be. Why is this concept so hard for cryptlets to understand?

Money as money performs a socially useful function. A world with money is more productive than one without. So it doesn't matter if the token is worthless, it's the system's organization aspect which is providing utility.
