Now is the best time

Bitcoin’s recent price crash, which saw it lose a quarter of its value after hitting an all-time high, could be just the “midway dip” in a new record-breaking rally if market patterns from 2013 and 2017 are repeated. This is the view of a number of prominent cryptocurrency analysts, who adhere to a “stock-to-flow” model dictated by bitcoin’s inbuilt scarcity. The model is based on the relationship between the existing stockpiles of bitcoin and the yearly production rate of new bitcoins through digital mining. Roughly every four years, a “halving” event occurs that reduces the rewards for mining the cryptocurrency by 50 per cent. After the first halving in 2012, bitcoin’s price rose from around $11 to $1,100 before falling back down. The second halving in 2016 saw bitcoin’s price rise from $500 to $20,000 before dipping again. The most recent halving event took place in May 2020, right at the beginning of the latest price rally. It has since risen from below $10,000 to the new all-time high of $64,863 that it hit this month. After briefly falling below $48,000, it has since recovered slightly to $55,000 at the time of writing.

Help be not be a detractor!

I've been aware.of the concept of crypto-currencies for a number of years (and actually remember someone taking to me about bitcoin at work about 10 years ago, don't keep in touch with the chap but hope he made his fortune), but I still don't understand where the value is and therefore am reluctant to invest.

The arguments events I struggle to get round in my mind are:

1) Given the finite volume of bitcoin will the value continue to increase? And if so, how does will this work as a currency or is it more likely to resemble a commodity forever.

2) I get the whole decentralised bit, but how can these currencies attract market trust (and therefore value) when there are so many of them.

3) Bitcoin is the biggest but also the first, other digital currencies have already improved or resolved flaws with how bitcoin operates, why is bitcoin still the most talked about?

4) Economies and therefore the consumer do better with a stable currency. The centralisation of currency houses allows for an element of currency manipulation to help protect the currency and therefore the interest of currency holders. The fact that there is no governing body means that crypto-currencies will answer only to the market, would this inevitably lead to close given that global economic strife is fairly close cyclical.

5) The strong correlation between bitcoin value and other cryptocurrency surely indicates the level of speculative interest underpinning the value. Are there any traditional ways of measuring or assigning value? This compined with the relative market illiquity compared to other financial instruments (i.e. blue chip stock) surely mean there is another value collapse coming?

6) Does the complexity in regulation create a greater risk that Governments will intervene negatively given that there would be little upside available for them to intervene positively? Are we just waiting for a government to be the first to go balls deep in legislating the use and application of crypto-currencies before we see them fail?

7) Why could the US for example not simply create a digital aspect to the USD which would immediately garner more institutional backing than even bitcoin?

I understand the potential applications of crypto-currencies but don't understand how they will survive, and the 'bitcoin is too big too fail' doesn't really fly given previous economic issues that have occurred. Any help understanding any of these points would be appreciated.


A message about May 8th and passing $1

Hey Shibes,

I just wanted to put my 2 cents in on current events, mainly for new investors and people who have YOLO'd into Doge in the last few days/weeks.

The growth we are seeing right now is indeed exciting, (This is not a post to spread fear! Quite the opposite!) I have been holding since 2014 and believing that Doge will one day be a true, accepted currency. However, the growth we are seeing will, I believe, take a huge dive very soon due to one of two (or both) factors.

  1. The hype that has been created around Elon Musk hosting Saturday Night Live and the hope that he will mention Doge.
    If he does, there will be a sharp spike in Doge price, followed by the same sharp drop which could trigger panic selling and drive the price down. This is what happens every time he tweets, however it usually creates a higher low, which is good. If he doesn't, it may stay steady, or people may think he has abandoned Doge and sell anyway. This is a stupid notion as he has expressed his interest and love for Doge multiple times a a usable currency.
  2. The event that we hit $1.
    There are no-doubt, many many people and corporations that have set a sell limit at the $1 mark. This means that the moment Doge reaches $1, sell orders will be triggered and billions of dollars worth of doge will be sold which will cause the price to plummet. How far, no one knows.

Now for the good news! All we have to do is HOLD. When the price plummets after reaching $1, many people will panic sell and say its all over. This will drive price down even further, AND is a fantastic time for you and I to add more Doge to our wallets.

All of this to say. The price goes up and down...but its on a very steady run up. Bitcoin has been pronounced dead over 400 times since it was created, and look at it! So have faith in your fellow shibes, and HODL! Every big shot investor on Wall Street said Doge would never be worth a thing, and its making millionaires out of ordinary people like you and me. Doge is going to do some AMAZING things if we just give it the chance.

None of this is financial advice. I'm just a poor shibe who wants to see us all succeed.

Why isn’t cardano doing anything?

People don’t seem to care about the utility of cardano and sell it AS SOON as it grows. So many cryptos are constantly hitting all time highs, but cardano only has near events. Cardano is apparently a candidate for dominance in the future is the rhetoric, but it goes nowhere. Also, every country in the world could use cardano but these uses aren’t going to drive up the actual price, they’re using the blockchain behind it, not buying and holding ADA.

Am I wrong about this? Is the price just about to finally hit and STAY at $2? Why is DOGE, among others actually making it, yet cardano is failing. People see potential elsewhere, not here.. I am thinking of turning my back on cardano soon if nothing happens. ADA holders also say so much conflicting stuff. Like ‘we believe in the vision,’ or ‘price doesn’t matter’(wtf yes it does matter, that’s why it has a value assigned to it and people INVEST in it.) or ‘when he upgrade comes..’ where other coins don’t even need this and they’re succeeding

It seems like ADA holders get surprised if it ever moves 5 percent in a day and they sell it back down to he fires of hell. ADA holders are even somehow still convinced its value should be tied to bitcoin, when it rises or falls. I think it’s likely the case that ADA holders don’t really believe its future and just want others to believe to give it value. So if they don’t believe it is going to grow, and won’t let it than why should I? Someone change my mind or tell me if I am missing something. It sucks watching coins like doge outperform ADA and have more confidence for future growth than ADA.

And don’t just say if you don’t like it then go ahead and sell, come up with a solid reason you are in it for the long term. Because why else would you hold Ada if you thought something else had more potential to grow.

For those who believe that property rights require the government, you should see this news article.

I've posted here once talking about my personal experience with favelas and how they manage to maintain their ownership despite the government having almost to zero interaction with these people.

And now I'm seeing the lives of these people that I sympathize with being changed by the the same technology Bitcoin is based on. There is a project involving MIT that plan to register their houses in the blockchain.

Just for context, a "Favela" is usually an ocupation of a unused property, due to lack of resources, they had to move to the outskirts of the city and build their houses where nobody else wanted to build, like on really steep hills.

And due to it's "homesteady" nature of going to a place, cleaning it, building it and cleaning your own, the government refuses to accept their ownership over that land, which lead to things like in 2016 the government from Rio claiming ownership back to them and forcefully moving out dozens of families just to build a stadium for the event of the olympics.

Other negative aspects of it is that they have to provide energy, water and sewer system by themselves (for this who think that those things can only be done by a politician, you are wrong), they can't even create a bank account or borrow money because they technically done own a house.

But now their streets and houses will now be in a blockchain, registered for everyone to see. And if everything goes the right way, they will have ownership over the place they've created with their own hands, and without the need of the approval from a corrupt bureaucrat.

Property ownership without a government is possible.

Defending said property is a whole different debate, but as I already said on the topic about my personal experience in a Favela, people will not go around stealing each other stuff just because they are poor and hungry, they will not steal and rape just because there is no Government telling them that it is wrong. These people live amongst drug dealers and all kinds of criminals, and yet they manage to create such a wonderful community despite such harsh environment, it shows how we can strive and respect each other's stuff despite what you believe should happen in this situation.
