      SBF goated

  • rektrading on 09/12/2021 - 08:07

    People that are saying this will pop and go to zero are betting against people like CZ, VB and SBF.

    Since BTC's value is not backed by anything, I imagine its price is simply entirely dependent on market sentiment, so you have higher highs and lower lows than other asset-backed investments.

    It’s good that it crashes for a bit. My bot can pick some up on the way back up.

    We will adopt digital currency. Just not the random bitcoin exchange variety. I don't think the govt will approve MtGox v2 run by Boris and Katerina from somewhere in the baltic. They, our govt, will allow the reserve bank to control a govt backed digital exchange and all the other 'coins' will start to lose value ….rapidly.

      The feds won't back a CEX. All of them are privately owned just like the ASX is privately owned.

      Most exchanges in free markets are privately owned.

      I don't think the govt will approve MtGox v2 run by Boris and Katerina from somewhere in the baltic.

      The feds have no say in this. CEX and DEX operating outside of Australian soil aren't subject to Australian securities laws.

      They can choose to work with the industry and collect revenue or try and ban it like China and get zero revenue. The industry and the brainpower will move to friendlier countries.

    Wow, the price dropped back to what it was 2 months ago. Big (profanity) deal lol.

    I think that BlockChain is fantastic and will change the world for the better. And Cryptocurrencies will fix the fundamental flaws that traditional currencies face in the digital world. But BitCoin is a ponzi scheme. I am in it at the moment, the question is when to get out.

      guessing there could be a spike in btc soon… or at least jan 2022

    Bitcoin has never crashed

    It’s only a correction

    Once everyone goes back and puts money in it’ll be good again.

    Smart contract, Blockchain and distributed ledger are all good development but crypto coins are virtual worthless stuff
    it has value whatever people willing to pay for them but anyone can come up with crypto currency

    and you don't need any crypto coins to advance blockchain and distributed ledger technology, ASX and all that can have their private distributed ledger
    and settle contracts in real time and they can open up to let other private distributed ledger in and build a chain etc…

    A crash is inevitable. The value of cryptos has always been the value people put into them, and without any regulation it's just become a wild west money market fuelled on speculation and crypto bros.

    I think part of the reason it hasn't crashed hard yet is, ironically, institutional investors who know how to manipulate markets to minimise a crash from happening. But as more and more people get burnt on shit like 'Save the Children' and other shit coins where they pump and dump, the less people will be willing to gamble with their money (and it is gambling).

    This ultimately makes crytpo terrible as a form of currency (as well as high fees) and why businesses mostly do it as a stunt not as a serious way to do business because the fluctuating market can't be trusted. Why sell a product worth $X today when it could be worth half that tomorrow? If you did accept crypto, you'd cash it out almost immediately to mitigate the use.

    That being said, I like blockchain tech and I think there can be some great implementation in the future if it's properly regulated and designed for purpose.

    The short term price action is just noise.

    Zoom out and focus on the large picture.
