Help me understand

We all are trying to get rich off of bitcoin. Say bitcoin goes up to like 50k. What happens when everyone is trying to sell this shit off for regular money......essentially we are only holding to sell of for fiat. So doesn't that make bitcoin pointless.

Exactly, the more you think about it the more you realise its an enormous ponzi/pyramid and confidence scam.

There are literally no real world use cases on any major coins.

The only reason people invest is for monetary gain. Unless there is anything useful then you're relying on greater fool theory, hoping that there are people more stupid then you to sell your bags to.

It's completely unsustainable, it will probably carry on like this till 2020 by which point all it takes is one trigger event for the whole house of cards to fall.

Let me know when I can use cryptocurrency to do anything apart from launder money and buy drugs.

Fiat is backed by government and by consent of the public. It is used to transfer value in 99.999% of cases.

No one invested in crypto really understands or cares about the potential of the technology, they just pretend they do to draw in new investors (pyramid scheme anyone?).

They only care about the possible monetary gain, and when a trigger event happens or investors realise en masse that greater fool theory dictates the value of cryptocurrencies, you'll all be playing a game of hot potato, except where the potato is your life savings.

Doesn't it make you suspicious that so many ICO's are complete trash. Back in July there was ICO mania (no pun intended) with almost every token going 10x or more, with absolutely no real app or program backing it.

People realised that they could earn millions of dollars in crowdfunding by doing ICO's. They then designed products which didn't actually solve a problem or make anything more efficient using blockchain (compared to standard tech), they just did it for monetary reasons.

This should be a huge warning sign to anyone who invests in this gargantuan pyramid scheme.

No you didn't. Your card transferred BTC to USD or whatever currency you use and then completed the transaction, just like a normal debit card.

It seems people are misunderstand things here.

BTC does not go up, fiat just goes down.

The reason why Gold becomes more valuable is because the inflation is less then fiat.

BTC is even more extreme on this point with deflation.

You do not sell your BTC to fiat ever, just like you never sell your gold. For reasons mentioned.

Betting on BTC is betting against fiat and metals basically.

Exactly, this is another reason why it won't become adopted on a large scale.

People always talk about it as a currency, but why would anyone ever spend any of it, knowing that it has a limited supply and is deflationary. It would be like selling an Apple share in 1970.

No one will sell it, so you need new investors coming in.

It is because of free market the reason that BTC's problems won't be solved. You have a group that wants the status quo, a group that wants privacy, a group that wants better security, etc. Ultimately, because crypto investors/miners are driven PURELY by profit, they don't really care about BTC's issues or turning it into usable currency and would rally against any changes that would potentially decrease its speculative value.

I mean central banks, Rothchilds and the jews pretty much control the world. Wars have been waged and millions of people have died because their status was in danger or some country was defying them.

And before you call me negative, I fucking love the idea of crypto and have indeed invested in it. I just think it's too good to last, governments are already pushing against it.

>The Tangle
Amazon and Apple have millions of customers per day. Apple dominates the mobile phone market.

Bitcoin's only use comes from millions of unemployed virgins speculating over the price, all based on the prospect of future use.

Hint- no one is going to use a """currency""" that takes 2 hours to transfer, as well as costing insane amounts of fees.

The only people who use it are degenerate drug addicts to fuel their supply.

It's absolutely hilarious to see so many people following the logic- "well it went from $5 to $5k, it can easily go from $5k to $500k".

That's your average investor, I doubt many people even understand what they're buying or why, all they see is the profits and they're hooked.

Cryptocurrencies, when they crash to 0 (as they inevitably will) will go down in history as the the largest ponzi scheme in history, 10000x bigger than Madoff.

Sure, that is what drove the price up to 5k. The intersection of a small subset of unemployed losers, known for having lots of money lol, that also happen to have enough knowledge of the English language (try buying crypto if you only speak Spanish) AND enough tech literacy to understand what they are doing.

You believe that a person who is so confident in what he thinks that he would like to talk to you about it and how it turned out 10 years later, is a bad thing.

At least stocks are kind of backed by real companies. Doesn't mean that they can't be speculative. Even national currency can.
As for the capitalism, bitcoin philosophy is pretty much the opposite of the moving force of the capitalism.
Banks with reasonable interest rates and money emission was one of the main reasons for industrial revolution and the whole progress nowadays.
Like the jew or not, but their scheme is working well so far.
Deflational currency and "HODL" philosophy on the other hand is a recipe for the economical stagnation (like the whole middle ages).

I see one problem with btc
let's say it grows to 500k a piece or something smiliar and now you have one small group of very happy people and almost an entire planet of super salty no-coiners, how is it possible for bitcoin to get adopted as a global currency when the slaty fuckers will simply refuse to use it, or even better they will jump into another currency thus making bitcoin worthless.

What's even the point of acumulating more than let's say 1 btc, assuming it gets adopted by the world as a currency? there will only be 21million coins (and that's year 201x, let alone all the lost coins). 1 btc is more than enough to be filthy rich, assuming that regular people will be wageslaving for couple satoshis/day?
As much as I like the idea and would love for the btc to moon I think we depend too much on other people, on salty no-coiner to be exact, I'm afraid they will spoil the show seeing that it's too late for them to get their chunk of the cake

Bullshit, the economy is NOT a zero sum game
If someone creates a new innovention, then he gets rich, but everyone else gets richer too, since they can get goods better/cheaper etc.

So you've figured out the Ponzi.

If your scenario would happen, then the entire market would crash as the volume dumped into it would render the relative worth to zero.

In reality, however, nobody cashes out at the exact same time. And neither does the market rise and fall in a straight line, so there are always minicorrections going on sustaining the market.

You would know when it would happen.
