You tell me what the use case of a digital poker chip is.
Look, you can daytrade and earn money without giving a single fuk about what the underlying is. Ride the coin train momentum and make some money. Play the Gamestop volatility and make money. But if you are holding something long term, you had better be able to make the case of why something is going to be more valuable tomorrow than it is today. Coincels get confused between short term and long term strategy. Short term it's exploding, that means it's going to be super valuable in the long term amirite.FA Crew

Government doesn't like anything they can't control/regulate/manipulate and not only can they not do this with BTC so of course they are going to try to find a way to limit it.
We value BTC in how much currency it's worth, but it's getting to where your currency is valued in how much it is worth in BTC.

It’s not a digital poker chip lmao. It was designed to replicate an entire global economy. If you’re looking at it as a way to be greedy to make quick money then that is why you’re lost. The most basic reasons it’s valuable is supply and demand. There’s only 21 million coins. 100 m units called satoshi equal a whole coin just as 100 pennies equal a dollar. In the future once mass adoption has (at 1% adoptions) right now. It will be impossivle to own an entire btc. Even there’s over 50 m millionaires. They couldn’t even own one each. We’re pretty much buying prime land that the rest of the world will move to. Not only that it’s the hardest money in the world. It’s e most scarcest asset aswell. There’s. A hard cap and no more. With gold they just have to mine more and space asteroid mining will happen this century so gold is out of the question. Not only that gold is manipulated. Bitcoin can be but not in the same way and that will stop once the market cap gets large enough no one can mess with it. Also the way btc is designed it will have halvening every 4 years for the next 120 years until the last coin is mined. So imagine in 50 years we hit 100% adoption. You will never know one person who own a whole coin. It will be impossivle and who ever does will be so ****ing rich. This is the gold rush 2.0 in the digital age.
Now looking at the tech. You can ask your self is this an invention or a discovery because the tech is crazy. It’s the only reason block chain exists and all other coins exist. Legit what technology you know of can run 24/7 with zero down time and zero central control. Btc has been running non stop for over a decade. Plus govenrmenrs can’t control it. They can’t stop you from sending money. They can’t seize your money. They can’t do anything. That is why this is so important is because it strips the central banks from control. It allows every day people to own real money that is designed to be deflationary. Fiat has only been around for 300 years. Average fiat lasts 49 years until hyper inflstjon and destruction. Usd is at 50 years. We need a money for the people that can’t be controlled that can’t be seized that doesn’t lose value. And yes there’s volatility but that’s not gonna be the case for ever specially as more people get in. So imagine 1% adoption we see these prices now imsgine 10% and beyond. It’s gonna be unreal. Plus another thing I like is you can memorize 12 words travel any where in the world to recover your money. No one can stop you. You can’t do that with anything else.
This is the future. If you still don’t see it you will see it when everyone else does and by then it’s to late.
Until then the name of the game is to collect as many satoshis as you can before the rest of the world figure it out

Why can't I move onto Etherium instead of Bitcoin? Why can't I program a dogecoin and make my own land?
Your bull thesis pretty much depends on Bitcoin becoming legal tender, which means government approved and regulated. If it is accepted as legal tender alongside the USD, then Gresham's Law kicks in and BTC will get driven out of the market.
If it's not - and the rest of your case is that it won't be - it's just going to be one of a potentially infinite number of currencies running around in an internet wild west, competing against other coins that are designed to run at huge scale. It's tough to value BTC in a currency Mad Max scenario, but having dozens of better-designed competitors means that even then it wouldn't be the world-destroying behemoth you're pricing it as.
There's just not a case you can make that $50K BTC prices are grounded in anything substantial.Last edited by FAPhaggot; 03-01-2021 at 10:04 AM.

Doge coin was started as a joke. You can mine 10k coins a minute unlimited supply. Eth may have a future. Problem is it’s all based on if vatilik survives or not. If he’s dead then the project dies plus there’s over 100m eth coins . Btc has no creator and it’s the only true scarce coin out there and look into metcalfes law the net work effect. Btc has it while the rest don’t. Also us government has regulated it. It’s considered property. And with Coinbase being approved by the sec going public tells us they will not be shutting down crypto. Why would they approve it. Also because btc is programmable money itnwill keep evolving and becoming and better. Taproot is coming soon. First update in ywars. It improves scalability, transaction costs and allows you to send private transactions like Monroe. With how btc started you can’t do it twice not in the same way. It’s here to stay and will become bigger and bigger. And one day when we will be using it most people may only have a few thousand satoshis at most and that even may be a lot of money. The world is about to change as the internet changed it.
