All I see is over hyped “potential”, speculation and people’s desperate desire to be rich.
From my point of view the most useful bitcoin has ever been in reality is buying illicit crap on the internet and scamming people for their money with pump and dumps.
I want my mind changed on it, but everything I read about it seems cultish and pump and dumpish. I think the smart money is in scamming people that want to be rich with transaction fees or leaving them holding an empty bag after hyping up the pump.

This is the type of stuff that makes me turn away from bitcoin, do you actually think gold isn’t finite?
If humanity ever finds a way to profitably create more gold we will already be living in a utopia and I doubt money would matter much in a society with that technology.

The mind does not need changing. All mutual funds WILL own the Bitcoin etf. Only ? Is how much more you WILL pay in future.
I don’t believe Gold is finite. The only thing stopping people from mining gold is the fact that the price is suppressed. Being turned off from bitcoin is the equivalent of an ostrich, sticking his head in the ground, the drums will keep beating. This will cause your head to come out the ground and see what’s going on. Then you will see that you are short.

I’ll watch your video but just because financial institutions in this country see a get rich quick scheme and go for it doesn’t mean they are correct. I think they actually have a history of being incorrect in this country and that has led to some bad times.
You didn’t really answer any of my problems with bitcoin by saying financial institutions are gonna go all in on it, if anything that just increases my worry because that makes the bitcoin scam every bodies problem.
Scarcity does not equal valuable.
I also don’t like your video, it just seems to be current events type bitcoin news by people all in on crypto trading.

I promise you gold is very finite on this planet, there is a set amount of gold on earth unless a golden meteor strikes us or we discover like nuclear fusion levels of energy that could match a sun’s.
Either way you probably won’t be worried about bitcoin if either one of those happen.
“The U.S. Geological Survey estimatesthat of the world’s known gold, roughly 63,000 tons are still in the ground, compared with roughly 206,000 tons that have already been mined. And the world’s unmined gold is generally only unmined because it’s deeper underground and thus less accessible.”

Demand for gold has risen in recent years. Not everyone is happy about that, especially some residents of Grass Valley.

I don’t doubt bitcoin has value right now that would be stupid, but I doubt what the value is based on because I find it stupid.

You said gold correct? No other asset class is coming for gold and your 401k at the same time. Lets learn together.

I’m not a gold investor, I’m not completely sure about everything I’m invested in through traditional financial routes like my 401k, but I’ve never bought gold as an investment.

My main concern about bitcoin isn’t gonna be a current events news about it.
I promise you I am happy for everyone that bitcoin has worked out for. I’m glad there are individual that saw this was going to rocket up and bought it, I just question what they saw and why they bought it.
I do not believe investing in bitcoin is based on a logical foundation. It appears to me to be much more emotionally investment of desperation and misinformation. People living in delusion that their bitcoin is actually useful for any real world application other than pulling in more investors on the idea of getting rich.

Has anyone seen the effects of gold mining on the planet? They never show the results.I promise you gold is very finite on this planet, there is a set amount of gold on earth unless a golden meteor strikes us or we discover like nuclear fusion levels of energy that could match a sun’s.

I’m also not defending the ethics of mining for bitcoin or gold. I’m not even defending the value of gold as an investment vehicle over bitcoin, I think gold faces similar problems to bitcoin by inflated prices from perceived value.
I’m not a big believer in the value of gold at it’s current prices, I’m just saying it isn’t finite and it is wrong to try to separate bitcoin by gold by this perceived scarcity.

What I would like to discuss with a bitcoin investor is what its actual value is based on.
What do you see in bitcoin that I don’t other than the “pump” of others wanting to invest?

I’m sorry if it comes off as me attacking you as investing in something dumb.
I do believe bitcoin is dumb, but people that have made money off of it as of right now certainly are not dumb for doing so.

I believe gold. I know gold is suppressed. It should be higher. JP morgan paid nearly 1 Billion for market manipulation.

I’ve seen your thread from years ago when I believe you wanted to dump your 401k for bitcoin. Might be misremembering.
I’m just wondering what you saw in it that made you want to do that?
On just a pure returns value, it certainly was a great investment.

Oh no I don’t care about that stuff. To deny with all the evidence is futile. We spend so much time whipping our bodies that I listen to podcasts learning while they pay me.
