Just LOL @ OP reading one Yahoo article and claiming it is as proof that BTC is a bubble.
"LOOK! YAHOO SAYS IT'S TRUE! IT MUST BE TRUE! I AM RIGHT! YOU ARE WRONG! I KNOW MORE ABOUT ECONOMICS THAN ALL OF YOU *******S!" as OP furiously types with tears - filled with cope and lost dreams - flowing down his face like Niagara Falls*Fulfilling My Destiny Crew*

Bubble just means it's artificially inflated. Like I said, I don't see any intrinsic value, which leads me to believe that the price explosion is just plebs gambling. The price keeps going up because people believe that it will be worth more tomorrow than it is today, not because it has specific value. But by all means, prove me wrong. What's it's value?

I can send large sums of Bitcoin to any one around the world for a small fee (~$2) reliably within 10 minutes without the permission of any individual, bank or nation state. It can't be destroyed or confiscated and the network is secured by 140 TH/s of energy.
Tell me how is this not 'intrinsic' value?. Try doing this with precious metals or a bank wire; its either impossible or you need to jump through all sorts of hoops, pay a larger cross border payment fee + suffer a waiting time of multiple business days.

The guy above mentioned a couple, but really if you want to know it's value you need to just read up on it. I said the same thing as you, and was always like "what the heck? why would someone pay $10 for this?" then it was $100, then $500, then $1,000 year after year price kept going up and at some point i decided, okay maybe there is something I'm missing and i need to look into this.
Now its $23,000 after 11 years of price increase. That alone should make you curious enough to question your own beliefs on it.

If you support bitcoin you clearly don´t want to support a long lasting future proof neetwork that will help humanity the most. If you support bitcoin you are anti innovation and pro greed. You´re a low life zombie hypocrite that supports a pyramid scheme that will collapse. Use your brains you greedy phucks and stop shilling a scam. How in your right mind can you claim bitcoin is sustainable? You gotta be a phucking moron to think that
"Thanks for your questions. Right now every mined Bitcoin block contains 6.25 newly minted BTC (called “coinbase”) to reward miners and make malicious attacks expensive. Every 4 years this reward will be cut in half. After decades, miners will receive very little coinbase, and there is no guarantee that Bitcoin’s price will keep up with halving for miners to be profitable and sustain the hashrate that keeps it secure. This is the drawback of a fixed supply with security based on explicit reward.
Without much coinbase, miners would have to rely on transaction fees to be profitable. Since Bitcoin can only process 7 tps, the number of transactions in a block are relatively fixed, so the only way to get more reward is for the network to become congested so people are willing to pay more fees per transaction. But, the point of 2nd-layer is to move all the smaller transactions away from the base chain and reduce network congestion. This inevitably takes away fees from miners.
In summary, as 2nd-layer matures and halvings continue, Bitcoin miners will get less reward in BTC in the long run. The only way to keep up the security is for Bitcoin’s price to keep rising so mining at high hashrate can remain profitable, but nothing in the history of mankind goes up for forever. This almost shares some resemblance to a Ponzi scheme: as long as price goes up, “this is fine”. So if we embrace Bitcoin as THE sound money or store of value, we will probably be ok for a few decades, and then its security is gonna be threatened and faith can collapse (assuming the Core doesn’t change issuance schedule), just like the US debt. It would really make you wonder why don’t we just stick to ETH after EIP-1559. Hope that clears things up."Last edited by PimpMasterC; 12-25-2020 at 04:32 AM.

Anybody who quotes Nouriel Roubini demonstrates that they understand nothing. These articles come out every month and only add fuel to the FOMO when we go up.
This guy has zero skin in the game. He has been saying Bitcoin is going to zero since 2013. It's gone from $50 to $24,000
He is obviously wrong. He's been wrong for 8 years and he will continue to be wrong. And if you continue to sit on the sidelines you will continue to be wrong with him too.

You gotta sign up for an exchange where you can short it. You can short it on most big exchanges with different leverage. On binance you can short btc by buying BTCDOWN, for instance. But it´s only like 3x leverage at most.
I don´t know if shorting it right now is a good move tho. Who knows. But eventually it will be a very good time to short bitcoin.

You won't short anything. If there's one thing that nocoincels have in common, it's that they're never capable of putting their money where their mouth is.
By all means though sign up for Binance or any other major exchange and put in a short, screenshot it and post it here for us. We're waiting.Misc Crypto Crew

I'd rather buy paypal and square stock for my stake in the future of financial technology vs. Bitcoin
also lmao at a $2 fee to send money, just use cash app
Buying things with bitcoin is so fuking infuriating. Brb buy xxx amount of bitcoin for $1000, have to wait 3 days in coinbase to transfer the funds. Brb bitcoin went down in price 10% so have to buy more bitcoin, doubling your transaction fee. Brb bitcoin went down in price again, have to repeat
Just lmao if anyone thinks boomers will be using bitcoin to buy chit in our lifetime

Good lord all mighty, neither does gold if you really want to get down to it. Can't believe this is still a statement in 2020.. This was said when bitcoin when it was $600, when it was $1,000, $10,000, and $20,000 for a day e years ago. It's now been hovering above $22,000 for a week.
Would i be buying in now? No, but you are a socialist plebian ******* if you have not been using bitcoin's cycles to make money. Buy the muthafukin dip.DCA'ing FXS since Sept2022

How does a non us citizen permissionlessly sign up and use venmo/cash app and send $100k usd anywhere?
Actually I doubt a us citizen can do the above. Bank wires blow balls and has terrible UX.
Btc is permissonless, self sovereign and non discriminatory, that is immense value alone. Ironic americans love freedom and dislike traditional banking practices but cant get behind btc.

its the same with any other bubble, any other stock or commodity, you have no way to know if after you bought in some new regulation wont come that with crash it never again returning to the value you purchased it at.
ditto for all the competing coins
bitcoins only "value" over the other coins is that it is more commonly used and accepted.... gee a lot like the fiat currency
lmao at coincels thinking it is somehow immune or better than traditional currency

this, how is it twice as valueable than it was at 10k? you cant do anything with it but convert to other currencies, the places accepting it directly for purchases are all gone now and that stopped largely due to new regulations.
so if the price double and tripled and quadripled but the intristic value has been the same... what does that tell you.
its not "investing", its gambling that more plebs will put their money in and that you will pull yours out before they do. Now you can still make money doing that and some people have gotten filthy rich, props to them for doing so but be honest about what it is, its gambling not investing and you got lucky
