Yes the little guy gets in early because Bitcoin is decentralized. On a centralized shit token or system the big guys get in early then little guys get in later.

The whole point of banks is to have distributed ledgers, except banks are controlled by the jews. Schiff is a smart idiot. His axiom is wrong. He believes in the concept of intrinsic value. He believes gold has intrinsic value because of his religious upbringing. Does gold that you cannot ever reach or use have value? No. It serves no purpose by just existing somewhere. It needs to be used and wanted by humans for some purpose. Humans attribute value to things.

The dirty secret Schiff won't understand or refuses to tell you is that fiat is perfectly fine as money, as long as the controlling party does not print more. All you really need is a system truly free from human manipulation to manage it.

the problem with bitcoin is that it is not competitive with cryptos like xrp/flare or proof of stake cryptos like eth 2.0.

gold has a physical limit to the creation of it
fiat can literally be wished into existence

when gold does inflate (including doomsday scenarios such as an asteroid with 300 tons of gold being brought to earth), the pattern of it entering the economy is much, much different from how fiat does. It may ruin buying power of people whose only savings are hoarding gold, everyone else is unaffected.

when fiat inflates, it first enters uncompetitive industries, because that's what government spending inherently is. Unlike when gold inflates, fiat stimulates both current consumption and long-term investment, and you know how that works out.

Gold is not an investment economically illiterate retard. Gold is real savings and real wealth. Gold is simply a store of value. When you buy gold you are buying it for a different reason than when you buy amazon. The dollar price of gold going up is not the same thing as the dollar price of gold going up. There is a bible verse saying how 1 ounce of gold buys you 350 loaves of bread 2,500 years ago. If you held that ounce of gold from 2,500 years ago until today and you take that ounce of gold to a coin shop and get $1,800 for it you can still buy roughly 350 loaves of bread with a lot of bread being about 4$.

The gold and bitcoin argument is entirely retarded. They aren’t even competing. And even if they were and bitcoin when you $1,000,000 per coin that wouldn’t make gold any less valuable.

Bitcoins marketing is that its literally the new gold. But there was never any issue with gold in the first place. For all intents and purposes gold is already irrelevant since govt’s have de-monetized it, yet it’s still $1,800 per ounce.

The unironically the ENTIRE point of most people getting into crypto is because you can’t make it anymore BECAUSE the dollar is not backed by gold anymore. So you can’t “make it” today so you have to chase shitcoins to try and make it as everyone goes into poverty.

I used to be part of this gold cult many years ago before I discovered Bitcoin.

The most annoying thing about peter shiffs tweet is literally the same exact shit all the gold bullion dealer/economic crisis experts do ever since the last ath gold back in 2012.

they are all the same, jim richards, peter shiff, david morgan, doug casey, mike maloney, the list goes on. they always think gold and especially silver is superior to any asset class known to man

Every year they called for 10k on oz gold, 500$an oz silver, a full economic collapse back to a gold standard, a stock market implosion, a debt Jubilee and a massive collapse in housing etc etc.

They been predicting doom and gloom and an end to the system as far back as 2011.

these boomer cocksuckers lecture on and on about how the system is rigged and the endless money printing is essentially meaning cash is worthless yet they all have bullion websites to buy thier so called real money in exchange for the trash they call cash. If that was the case why the fuck are you accepting this trash you call trash for your peice of shit useless coins which is also rigged.

You can search on YouTube the shit these clowns would say as far back as 2011 and its pure entertainment on how immaculately they truely are.

meanwhile in 2017, Bitcoin actually made the massive price actions they always dreamt of and immediately became the biggest haters on crypto because thier bags still have yet to even move to the levels of crypto.

You can even search for articles from doug casey in the 1980s calling for a gokld price of 3000 usd which is still yet to happen.

You do realize that XRP is centralized right? Same with ETH2.0. There are a trivial amount of people that can completely change the code behind these projects".

Bitcoin is the only decentralized cryptocurrency. You've had 11 years to come up with something else, not only are all other projects not profitable (Garlinghouse has said that they would not be profitable without selling XRP), and also have no widespread or even modest usage. No partnership has ever accomplished anything with crypto. That's why DeFi is becoming so popular - crypto for crypto's sake. None after 11 years. Nothing. I don't have any qualms with them, I can only pity the investors who have nothing but speculation, full stop.

You don't appreciate the power of trustlessness. It means the system runs exactly as intended forever, without you and without your vitriol or feelings, and importantly without any centralized control. It's compared with gold, fine, it does everything gold does and better though, it's a brand new thing, an entirely new asset. It didn't grow because of partnerships, roadmaps, endorsements, enigmatic founders or marketing campaigns. It lives because it is brilliant code, perhaps the most valuable code ever designed.

Gold would be my #2. Goldbugs are cousins, or maybe even brothers to Bitcoiners. Gold and Bitcoin are both hard monies and attempts at sound monetary policy.

Trustlessness is completely different from anonymity. Trustlessness means nothing can stop or change Bitcoin. All other cryptocurrencies don't have this feature.

As for anonymity, it's easier to hide Bitcoin then gold and can be transported and divided infinitely easier. Any gold held in vaults is not your gold, similar to exchanges.

The reason Bitcoin is preffered to gold is because gold hasn't been doing its job of measuring value for a very long time due to the derivative market being used to decide the price of the real asset at a higher than 1/300 ratio.
You can't manipulate bitcoin's price easily because there are a lot of exchanges and you can remove your funds from them and the exchange can't give you $ instead if it lies to you about your BTC holding like with gold.
Compared to this there is only one exchange fixing the price of gold which is heavily manipulated and you can't easily buy and sell your own gold there.

Eth isn't centralized. That's just a maxi talking point. Ethereum changes are done by community voting, using EIPs.

Bitcoin, however, couldn't even get a change through that the vast majority of users wanted because the single person who can approve change to the github repository didn't want it, because it would remove the incentives for his layer 2 solution, which he's financially invested in. It got so bad that the chains split and bitcoin is in a weird situation where it can never be updated, no matter what, and you better not second guess the lightning network or you're banned and censored.

There are a handful of incredibly powerful entities that control Ethereum. You've just proven the case with your own example. Even simple changes are punishingly difficult to implement. Inept or otherwise naïve attempts at trying to make Bitcoin more scalable have been met with fierce resistance which is a feature, not a bug. No one wants less security in the most valuable digital asset and probably future store of value. Every fork dies, how could this be the case if they are better?

Ethereum is a great idea and project that is held back by an unending mass of unprofitable Rube Goldbergs. You have nothing of any value besides speculation. I do have high hopes for DeFi but it's the only hope you have.

Bitcoin already has a clear use market out in the world, that couldn't be any more obvious today. It's grossly undervalued and everyone knows it. Institutions are not investing in Ethereum, they are investing in Bitcoin. You can have a 2017 bullrun, but you'll never go to the moon with Ethereum until it earns even a sliver of its market cap.

I got my stack btc and i'm convinced of its potential. Also i don't see that it wouldn't stand a comparisson against other assets, also gold has in a way "imagined" worth. It's people believing it and paying a price for it. That's all that is needed.
>But:
Don't you think BTC is really running in high danger of simply being prohibited? Central banks and governments imo have to react when the market cap hits a critical mass. Granting the people a way to escape forced inflation by monetary control would make them incapable of servicing the government debts. It would be the end of the system. Therefore they will react with prohibition.
>inb4 btc cannot be prohibited, my standpoint is clear: Of course it's decentralized and cannot be confiscated really. But what do you think what happens when it's simply outlawed? Making btc possession a crime would destroy the investment case for most people.I honestly see that scenarion coming. Governments must react or they risk losing monetary control which would mean the end of the system.
Also don't tell me this could never happen, indeed this happened anytime a currency defaults. Each time private ownership of gold was outlawed.

All you need to do is HODL bitcoin for 10 years dumb fuckos.

In the past bitcoin has had a 350% average yearly ROI. Over 10 years that kind of ROI compounded upon itself could turn a $10000 USD investment into a 34 billion dollar gains.

Now of course bitcoin will have lower volatility in the future so lets assume that maybe over the next 10 years the price of bitcoin will double yearly. or a 100% ROI.
In ten years from now a $10000 USD investment in bitcoin could be worth 10 million USD if we double yearly for the next ten years. 20000-40000-80000-160000-240000-480000-960000-1920000-3840000-7680000-15360000

If for the next ten years bitcoin does a 'mere' 2x every year for ten years bitcoin will be worth 15 MILLION USD, Is this unrealistic? Perhaps, Let's think this out with a 60% ROI yearly. or a 5% ROI every month on average.

At a 60% ROI yearly for 10 years a 10000 USD investment into bitcoin will be worth a million USD.

Now bare in mind this doesn't even account alt-coins and ETH that will grow AGAINST bitcoin, nor does it factor in services like blockfi that will give you a interest rate in bitcoin. So if you invested one bitcoin into blockfi for 10 years at a 5% interest rate in 10 years you would have 1.65 btc. Now if you times whatever your 10 year price projection for btc is by 1.65 you add another multiplier to your gains.

I you understand what I am saying their is literally no excuse to not be a multimillionaire ten years from now. People ten years from now will be looking back at this period right now and will be kicking themselves for not buying bitcoin and holding it.

Lets look at the 100% ROI ten year target for bitcoin that is 15 million USD, lets times that by the interest on bitcoin on a blockfi account this would equal 24750000 in gains just from letting one bitcoin sit on blockfi for ten years.

Even if you just let your bitcoin sit in a cold wallet for 10 years you could at worst have it 50x and at best experience a 750x

In USD it does.

If bitcoin goes from 10000 USD to 20000 USD that is a 100% gain.
If that 20000 USD goes to 40000 USD that is another 100% gain. As bitcoin increase in price the amount of ROI needed for your btc to be worth another $10000 USD is less. or example at a $1000000 USD per bitcoin a $10000 gain is a mere 1% move. and at $10000000 USD per bitcoin a $10000 gain is 0.1%.

This is what I mean by compounding gains. So if bitcoin on average increases by %100 a year for ten years you will see these crazy gains.

Retards like you do not understand the law of diminishing returns for market cap and how diminishing market share dilutes the price of an asset in one sector

The only scenario where something goes up to the price you suggest is when it is used worldwide by the vast majority of the population. If the pool of fiat the asset is drawing from is tiny, which bitcoin is compared to fiat, then it's total market cap dictates it's max price, which will always be the total number in circulation / total holders.

Basically, for you to get to the price you're talking about, the majority of people in the world would have to hold bitcoin, ie bitcoin would have to flip fiat. Which i do not see happening within the next 10 years. 20-30 years? Perhaps. But not 10. Lets use worldwide spread of the internet as a model.

in 1990, around 2% of the population (100 million people) used the internet.

In 2019, 53.6% of the population ( 4.13 billion people) use d the internet.

Thats a 41.3x use-case over 29 years.

Currently 0.3% of the population use bitcoin.

With a similar use case over 29 years that would go up to 12.39% of the population using bitcoin.

You have to understand that price rises where the big bucks are. Its why wages increase in metropolitan areas, why house prices also increase etc. BTC is the equivilent of living in some backwater town of 100 people.

Adoption to new technology is painfully slow, and without use-cases the general population can understand and reap benefit from it will be even slower.
We are not even in the use-case stage for crypto at the moment. We are like investors in websites that arent even running on the internet yet.
We are early, perhaps a little too early.

Lets say that we do use 2007 as a starting reference for crypto, we do not reap the benifits of even 10% adoption for BTC for another 16 years.

bitcoin mining is centralized in the hands of four wealthy chinese miners. if you really believed in decentralization then you'd be more excited about xmr, since it's truly asic-proof. and being asic-proof, mining will tend toward areas with cheap/excess power, rather than into the cadre of chinese asic/btc tycoons.

you probably can't think about this objectively if you have a vested interest in bitcoin.

I just don't understand how Peter Schiff is thinking. So he realizes Fiat is worthless and will eventually collapse and this collapse sooner than we imagine.
Yet at the same time he claims that people will "cash out" Bitcoin. Into what? He himself doesn't believe in Fiat. If Fiat disappears, Bitcoin will become the true money everyone will have to use. There is no fear of missing out, it will be the thing left to use to trade in a global economy where people need to be able to transfer wealth to trade.
Petet Schiff makes every argument there is that proves that Bitcoin will eventually take over, yet he is adamant about calling Bitcoin a scam. Why? I'm pretty sure at this point he just wants to keep people out for as long as possible so he can accumulate.

You can make this exact same argument with bitcoin, for what it's worth. I genuinely believe the majority of people who legitimately fud bitcoin (and crypto as a whole) are salty they missed out, or salty that it wasn't "their" asset. In 2017 you had 20-somethings making as much profit as their parents' and grandparents' portfolios made over the course of decades. Of course the "established" investors are going to hate it. It's a massive threat to people like Schiff because it's lucrative competition, and he's been wrong at just about every turn. The final words of the people following these hacks will be "ponzi scheme", lacking the awareness to understand the irony of their beliefs.

You probably don't realize how much you hit the nail on the head with that. It's not just Goldbugs but Altcoiners that FUD Bitcoin for this exact same reason. They use the same arguments too. They are so adamant about Bitcoin being a scam because every day is a reminder to them that they are wrong. True scams die quickly. You just need to look at any 2017 coin that popped up and was shilled by altcoiners. All dead. Sure there were one or two gems but the point is these dead alts are what it looks like when a coin ACTUALLY has no future. They'll just die quietly and you'll never hear from them again

These are valid points as to what institutions are thinking, at least I believe. I can't think of another asset class where it was people first that got in and something. But it was also said before that Satoshi/Craig Wright or whoever invented it, people like Vitalik and Sergey, are now what you'd consider modern day institutions as they're the ones with the control over a particular asset. And you argue the guy that created Uniswap has some hand in it since he runs the most popular exchange along with coinbase. Institutions are just merely taking a different form. On one hand it's exciting watching a brand new asset class evolve, but on the other hand it's all FOMO because as of now the only working case is flipping shitcoins amongst ourselves using an exchange ran by some homosexual unicorn aficionado and swapping for them using a coin ran by a cat shirt wearing homosexual. Institutions are weary of that.

This is exactly why I stay with PM. Although there is even some speculative play to be had in metals with silver since it's widely known JPM and other firms have suppressed it's actual value. Plus it's easier to stack and get your hands on. Of you want your money to beat inflation for the long haul and know you're in it for the long haul metals are the safest thing possible to invest in.

Investments and ponzies aren't set by your arbitrary definitions of what they are. BTC isn't even a ponzi by definition because for something to be a ponzi older holders would be getting paid profits in some form on top of their holdings from new holders. BTC obviously doesn't do this, it's a speculative investment like buying anything else and expecting it to go up or remain stable in value. The only reason boomers don't like it is because it can't be consoomed in some fashion like you describe, in which case the same could be said for FIAT currency, trading cards, or anything that has a perceived value based solely on the human imagination. The only two differences between gold and bitcoin are that bitcoin is digital, and gold is used to create electronics. I suppose a third argument could be that gold is theoretically unlimited in some alternate reality where humans finally have space travel whereas bitcoin cannot have more than 21 million in existence.

But you want to know what? All your bitching about technicalities won't keep you from getting priced out when a single BTC is worth more than your house and the zoomers/millenials start cashing out while you still wageslave buying shiny rocks.
