“Congressman: bitcoin is unstoppable”
I agree, how do you stop a decentralized cryptocurrency? The only way would be to shut down the internet.....as if that will happen anytime soon. :)
51% attack. Explain HOW it CANNOT happen?

I am watching the entire hearing on Libra and Calibra. My bet is they will succeed and establish Libra/Calibra which is incredible bullish for crypto currencies.

This is probably educational for nocoiners/bitcoin haters
It outlines the benefits and features of bitcoin.

I am glad you watched it. You really seem very interested in the space and the crypto developments. Great! Yes, I agree as well. She outlined how Libra and bitcoin are different.

Does that mean you think bitcoin is going to zero? What’s your timeframe? I don’t expect you to answer the questions. You never do.
Here something interesting:
“There was $2 trillion of US dollars laundered last year.
That is more than 6.5X the entire crypto market cap”

Onvacation,
So, you define it as a train wreck but you don’t think it will go to zero? So if it goes to 50k it’s still a train wreck for you? Are you sure train wreck is the right term for it then?
Don’t bother answering the question. I know you won’t.

Bitcoin has no intrinsic value and little extrinsic value beyond laundering money. The fanboys won't let it go to zero. There are still people holding out for $10k for their "rare" beeny baby.

No.
It is a well thought out scam. They got the lingo associating it to gold. They set up artificial scarcity over decades.
Ultimately what is bitcoin but a string of 0s and 1s?

Thats enjoyable for me to know this,
while watching the price to go higher. It sounds like it must bother you when bitcoin prices go up over time?
What do you invest in?
I bet you won’t answer that question.

There we go! Silver and rare coins! You would love bitcoin then (once you understand it).
If it’s a scam (it was a train wreck briefly) then who is behind it, defrauding people? Don’t you need a scammer behind it for it to be a scam?
And why did nobody mention that it’s a scam in the congressional hearing?

Won’t answer as there is no good reason/benefit in doing so. You can ask 50times a day. What I would do is provide a screenshot of my alts when I sell them. I have told nobody where I have the hardware wallets and how much BTC I have. Do you think I openly share this on the inet?

It’s easy to call something a scam. But it’s not easy to prove that there is a scammer behind it.
Let’s see if he ever answers the question. My bet is he will just switch and say, it’s a Ponzi scheme. Without mentioning who is at the top of the ponzi.
It was briefly a trainwreck, earlier today.
If that’s the best you bitcoin haters can do....

I love your sense of humor.
So, let’s figure this scam out together. Me, as a bitcoin buyer, I am the one getting scammed along with all HODL’ers. The scammer is the seller (and all other sellers) who sells it to me (and the HODL’ers). So when I sell, I become the scammer? Is that the story here?

They call it a currency but it costs fees to use. It's price fluctuates so wildly that it is hard to calculate exchange rates. And it is slow compared to REAL currency or credit cards.

Honkpilled,
Transaction costs are very low. For certain cryptos it’s near zero. Did you not listen to David Marcus talking about Libra at the congressional hearing? Libra for instance will be free peer to peer and very low cost otherwise.or look at xrp. you can transact xrp at nearly zero cost.
As far as security goes, yes there are exchange hacks. You would be silly to keep your crypto funds on an exchange. You simply hold your crypto on a hardware wallet. If you keep your private keys on a hardware wallet nobody can seize it or hack into it (its a cold storage/offline).
Governments can’t do anything against bitcoin. You heard the congressmen (or not) / it was mentioned several times. Bitcoin is fully decentralized. No chance to bring the network down. It’s brilliant. Why do you think bitcoin ran without interruption for ten years?

Bakkt is supposedly starting this quarter!
“Bakkt could be a huge catalyst for institutional participation in the crypto market.”
“Bakkt hosted an institutional summit this week at the NYSE, whose parent company ICE is behind the bitcoin futures exchange. Based on the anecdotes from that event, things are looking quite bullish for bitcoin in the latter part of this year.”

When? It is less than half its all time high right now.
"Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million
On November 29 2017 notorious Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee predicted that Bitcoin would reach a price of $1 million by the end of 2020.
He even promised to eat his own dick if it doesn’t. Unfortunately for him it’s 92.5 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin‘s price should have been $124,152 by now, according to dickline.info."
Do you think McAfee will actually eat his own dick? Or is it just a euphemism?

There's absolutely no info given as to why it should rise. It's all pure speculation. Not saying it's worthless either as supply is constrained but there's no real price discovery possible. It's here to stay but new highs are highly questionable. Seems more like a casino bet. If you get the swings right you can certainly make some.

Can’t beat it, can’t destroy it, can’t even send a letter for a hearing invitation. It’s here to stay and will likely continue its parabolic bull run.
