If you aren't a retard then you make money regardless of if the market is rising or falling. Only idiots who dumped their savings into crypto thinking they could just sit on it forever and passivly make millions are hurt by this. That said I am getting a bit annoyed with all the anti-crypto folks feeling validated every time the market makes any significant change. Especially when people think "this is THE bubble" or "THE fall". like this shit hasn't happened a half dozen times before. I've been in this shit since it was <1$, but fags who showed up after it was already 1K+ think they know shit because they found a chart on a croatian pottery newsgroup.

It will plummet straight to zero. Bitcoin has no value other than as a speculation and trading tool. To someone who has no intention of using it as money, it's worth is nil. Physical money can be used for collection purposes, hanging in a frame on the wall, and if nothing else they're worth their weight in paper and metal - the only two factors that keep them worth more than absolute nothing. You can't do either with bitcoins.

But they're inaccessible outside of a specific set of circumstances involving a computer. Even if the US collapses tomorrow I could use my fiat money as firestarter or toilet paper. Bitcoins are nothing more than microscopic bumps on a hard drive that are useless. The only thing that gives them value is whatever dipshits assign to them because they think if they hoard enough they can sell them for actual money. Bitcoin started out as an okay niche currency to buy drugs and porn, but no one uses them for anything anymore, they just want to horde and dump.

Cryptocoins fall almost perfectly neatly under definition of a ponzi scheme, with the biggest difference being absence of a central con man controlling the whole deal directly, instead everyone is their own scammer. Distributed scam operation.

Well kind of, the people at the top of the pyramid are those who bought in first, or those who created the currency and gave themselves a starting reserve. I see what you're getting at though


 No.853985

>>853983

Technically in a pyramid you pay to join but then you charge recruits and that's the only way for you to make money. Even though top of the pyramid profit "legitimately", the bottommost layer of the pyramid is always larger than entire structure on top of it, so there are always more people who just lost their money. It's not so much of a scam as a gamble of joining it early on and recruiting more suckers later on. Ponzi scheme is a clear cut scam. It poses itself as a legitimate business investment with high return on investment, however the money goes towards the head of the operation. They issue reports that say that investors' profits are growing and encourage them to keep the money in, the company is "showing" good growth and investors flock to it; to keep them flocking there are payouts in reasonable amounts. But eventually the investing stream dries up and at that point the scammer vanishes with all of the money. That of course won't happen with bitcoins, but as more people want to sell than there are people who want to buy, its cost will drop, which will trigger further sell-offs on one hand and rapid value deterioration will disincentivise buying and will drive prices even lower on the other hand.

>Bitcoin has no value other than as a speculation and trading tool.

>It will plummet straight to zero.

A universal trading tool is not a trivial source of value. Bitcoin's long-term success is dependent on this purpose alone. Ironically, the more normalfags leave the Bitcoin world, the better it is at being a currency (its original purpose) as small transactions won't be prohibitively expensive. Volatility is the big killer here.

>Physical money can be used for collection purposes, hanging in a frame on the wall, and if nothing else they're worth their weight in paper and metal - the only two factors that keep them worth more than absolute nothing. You can't do either with bitcoins.

A distributed blockchain serves as a near-indestructable and universally-accessible store for small, unfalsifiable notes. That's far more useful than decoration.

>>853983

You don't make any money holding cryptocoins unless you sell them, and then your profits eat away at your whale status. To call that a pyramid scheme is facetious.

Smart move once it really hits rock bottom.

Really, you all have been crying "this is it, this is the final crash!" every time BitCoin crashed. The "final crash" has happened already five or six times, more or less the same way the Year of the Linux Desktop has been happening for the last seven years. It ALWAYS recovers, no exceptions; specially when the source of the crash happens to be news about China banning BitCoins how many times has it been already?.

"Real" money is basically crypto at this point. Unless you're one of those larpers who keeps a mattress full of cash, 99% of your wealth is just 1s and 0s sitting in your bank's computer. You could spend absolutely all of it through digital transactions, without so much as laying eyes on a piece of green paper. I dare you to march down to your bank and ask to withdraw your entire account in cash so you can hold it in your hand; you won't be able to because the bank doesn't actually have that much cash in its vault, because in 2018 it's all digital and imaginary.

The only way would be to make something that you cannot sell or trade, which defeats the purpose of currency since by definition it is some thing you trade in exchange for goods or services. Even if you tried to make some setup where you can't use the currency to buy itself, people would just use some middleman loophole to get around it.


 No.856170

Bitcoin is good to buy and use it straight away for whatever. In terms of investments it's very volatile so it can go either way. The issue is that it's value is purely speculative.
