So basically speculation

2019-07-26 00:31:43 UTC  

well its just like any other currency, people believe its worth something so it is

2019-07-26 00:31:49 UTC  

sure

2019-07-26 00:31:51 UTC  

no

2019-07-26 00:31:55 UTC  

its value is its rarity

2019-07-26 00:31:56 UTC  

also it has a limited amount that can be mined. so eventually the supply will run out

2019-07-26 00:32:00 UTC  

bwhy do they believe in this one?

2019-07-26 00:32:12 UTC  

the same reason people believe in the dollar

2019-07-26 00:32:15 UTC  

but basically

2019-07-26 00:32:20 UTC  

the creator makes a bitcoin

2019-07-26 00:32:24 UTC  

if another guy comes along

2019-07-26 00:32:26 UTC  

th dollar has a state actor behind it

2019-07-26 00:32:29 UTC  

das power

2019-07-26 00:32:30 UTC  

and recognizes that creators bit coin

2019-07-26 00:32:33 UTC  

he gets a bit coin

2019-07-26 00:32:38 UTC  

so on and so forth

2019-07-26 00:32:39 UTC  

well bitcoins power is not having a state backing it

2019-07-26 00:32:42 UTC  

until millions

2019-07-26 00:32:42 UTC  

it cant be stopped

2019-07-26 00:32:43 UTC  

of people

2019-07-26 00:32:47 UTC  

recognizing bitcoin

2019-07-26 00:32:53 UTC  

as each person is added to the chain

2019-07-26 00:32:59 UTC  

so the utility is the value

2019-07-26 00:32:59 UTC  

the amount of bitcoin harvested goes down

2019-07-26 00:33:06 UTC  

Bitcoin has no power behind it except by those who own it

2019-07-26 00:33:19 UTC  

the ability to, to some degree, hopefully, bypass regulatins

2019-07-26 00:33:24 UTC  

Outside of their little bubble, it's completely worthless

2019-07-26 00:33:24 UTC  

bitcoins power is simply that its a useful currency

2019-07-26 00:33:35 UTC  

Monero is pretty great too

2019-07-26 00:33:36 UTC  

and its taken sufficient hold in the world

2019-07-26 00:33:41 UTC  

that it is actually useful

2019-07-26 00:33:45 UTC  

for quick transactions

2019-07-26 00:33:48 UTC  

and conversions

2019-07-26 00:33:50 UTC  

not to hold tho

2019-07-26 00:33:54 UTC  

too speculative for that

2019-07-26 00:34:05 UTC  

Too volatile

2019-07-26 00:34:09 UTC  

If I never see anything having to do with the goddamn superhero movie genre ever again it’ll be too soon

2019-07-26 00:34:24 UTC  

bitcoin is basically just you hoping that it keeps going up

2019-07-26 00:34:26 UTC  

then it crashes

2019-07-26 00:34:29 UTC  

then it goes up
