It's a speculation cult.... Give it 5 years at most until it becomes irrelevant and worthless. Meanwhile some will make fortunes and others will lose fortunes.

Cue the - votes from the crypto fanboy cultists... :)

Crash! Please! I want cheaper PC components. And does the earth need more pollution? Should reduce those ransomware scams as well. Remember, BT fans are focused on their value based on the USD

So much for BTC being an "inflation hedge." US released its highest inflation data in 20 years last week....and what happens with BTC? It sinks. LOL.

Haven't touched my BC.

Mined some for about a month over a decade ago just to do it. Only have a few. Never planned any real income/money from the BC. It isn't an investment - more like the tulip bubble. Since it costs me less than $20 to make, I don't see many downsides to holding for 20-40 more years.

Don't need the tax hassles.

That’s what I have heard a few years back. It went down, but with the covid up again.

See you in five years, but cryptos will remain.

Digital assets will develop

I am glad I sold my Bit Coin at 54k no need to be greedy and playing the markets. I'm good!

I prefer hard commodities for speculation!

The commodity slice of my investment portfolio is up 20% this past year.

Speculating in something that can be influenced that much but what Mr. Musk tweets or says, or by what the Chinese Commie Party decrees, is just not attractive to me and I’m not a gambler.

Bitcoin will likely end up like the yahoo search engine or the MySpace sns did, at best, in my estimation.

but isn't the stock market as well

Nope. CocaCola actually produces something of value that people are in real demand of, not just flipping it to the next speculator.

Yeah, I am more inclined to be interested in services built with DLT than these digital “assets”.

This was a awesome time for me! Bitcoin literally made me so much wealth! I had 25 bitcoin amd sold them off when they were at 57k USD a coin. Cashed out, paid my taxes and could not be happier. Meanwhile poor souls here have to work like a slave just to make their ¥40 million a year.
