Here's the thing about bitcoin: It might go up, none of us is saying it might not go up to 30,000. Dutch tulips bulbs went up like you wouldn't believe! But there is absolutely no way to tell if it will or won't, you're playing dice with a magic die where you can't tell how many sides it has. There is no way to tell at any given point whether it's a good invesmtent. It has some utility but it's priced way higher than that, it's priced based on people just thinking that other people think it will keep going up. As far as I can tell that's the definition of a speculative bubble.

COMRADES posted:Similarly this is the logic of a person who won the lotto and is now seriously advising everyone they know to sell all their holdings and buy lotto tickets. The funny thing is too there must be TONS of early adopters who mined hundreds/thousands of coins and sold them whenever it became worth a decent amount total Like for a lot of people I bet that was when it was $100, or hell even $10 if you had mined thousands of them There are probably way more people like that who are miserable because if the amount of bitcoins they could have right now than there are people who mined them or bought them for pennies and sat on them and kept them safe

I mean, nobody ever said it wouldn't go up before crashing I'm not even saying it won't go to 20,000 I'm just saying it's totally unpredictable and therefore not a good investment, also people were posting evidence earlier that the price is being manipulated and there's probably other shady poo poo that you can do when you don't have an SEC

Ham Sandwiches posted:I'm telling you you're loving stupid and probably shouldn't tell other people how to invest or make money given that this thing you keep calling BS on keeps appreciating, have you considered that? If Bitcoin never has a crash in the next 50 years then I'll say I was wrong. Also I never said they were a scam, that's your words. I'm just saying I think they are a bubble and it's impossible to tell where on the graph of a bubble you are. It could go up 1000% more or it could crash next week. Mine em if you want, I don't give a poo poo, i just think there are a lot better investments you can make where more variables are known. I don't even have a problem with someone buying a small amount as a lottery ticket but I also don't have a problem with people gambling in any other way either as long as they recognize it for what it is.

Also you know if someone says "I think there's an 80% chance this crashes this year" and it doesn't, that doesn't prove them wrong, right?

Jeffrey of YOSPOS posted:But it is evidence that they're wrong, and when it happens every year for a decade, wrongness seems to be the most likely outcome. Yes that's definitely true, I'm just saying a lot of people have the fallacy of taking it as proof (see how people acted about polls after the election) I mean I think my position is pretty soft and hard to prove wrong since I'm just saying "I think there is a much higher chance of a massive crash with this than other things so be careful how much you put in it" so for me to be wrong it would have to go decades without having any sort of crash which maybe it will do!!! But I think other investments are probably better

Ham Sandwiches posted:That seems like very realistic success criteria... for someone trying at all costs to avoid admitting they were wrong I have no idea who you're talking about, please only actually talk about things I've said. I'm not some conglomeration of every poster in this thread or any other bitcoin thread. I made very mild criticisms about bitcoin and people going nuts about it and you turned it into YOU SAID IT WAS TERRIBLE AND A SCAM and I have never said anything like that, if you can find anything like that that I've ever posted I'll buy you a forums upgrade.

Ham Sandwiches posted:There won't be a single person that will admit to being against Bitcoins despite years of posts to the contrary it's amazing, they vanish like a mirage the more the price goes up I have always posted that I thought it was a risky thing to put a lot of money into and that I wouldn't invest a lot in it but gamble on it if you want, again, if you find me ever posting anything other than this I will give you a forums upgrade or  By the way I will still maintain this position even if it goes to 20,000 in the next year because again I have said it might continue to go way up I have no idea, I just think it's a gamble. Sometimes gambles win!

Like everything you're saying could be said about any penny stock that actually went up a ton (I don't know enough about penny stocks to name one but I'm sure that at least one has taken off) and you could post HAHAH YOU GUYS WERE ALL WRONG I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA BE GOOD FROM THE BEGINNING but that doesn't make it a good investment just because it went up

Ham Sandwiches posted:I don't know that it's going up, and I'm telling you that the people that know it's going down down are wrong, because none of us can see the future but they are sure that they can. So you're saying it's an unpredictable investment that could go up or down and you can't make a strong case for whether it will go either way? Like...the same thing that I'm saying?

Ham Sandwiches posted:Yeah except the only posts on the topic for about 5+ years on these very forums were about how dumb you were to ever entertain anything to do with buttcoins, this thing you're posting right here is the very woke BTC are over 3000 and staying there view that has been established past month or so You realize an investment where you can't actually give any reasons a thing should continue to be more likely to go up than down is what we call a "bad investment" right

Ham Sandwiches posted:Empirically, an asset that was $2500 when you warned people away from it due to sound Risk analysis, is now over $4000 with much higher volume, meaning your advice was factually incorrect unless you are predicting some imminent disaster you believe is about to occur? Again this is not true, only that it came out a certain way If you bet even money for your entire net worth that a die will roll a 1 or 2 and it does, and I told you not to, it doesn't make me wrong if you win. Even if you bet even money that it would be a 1-3, and I said "that's a bad investment" because it has 0 EV, I'm still not wrong if you win.

Ham Sandwiches posted:It's so genuinely enjoyable going back through old bitcoin threads and just reading the smug superiority with which people posted. It's great. People are generally careful to not be wrong about stuff or make wishy washy predictions so they don't look totally dumb, but not this time Which, again, if you find me being smugly superior in any posts I will give you 10 bux straight up or a forums upgrade because I'm pretty sure I've been consistent this whole time, but instead you're just acting {all goons} are the same person and just turning me into some sort of goon collective strawman I mean I could be wrong but I don't think I am

There's a biscuit place near me that accepts bitcoin (through bitpay) and they even have a t-shirt that says "I bought my biscuit with Bitcoin" I'm pretty sure the fact that the owner's son works there and wears a fedora all the time is NOT a coincidence

How sure are we Satoshi is even still alive? I mean it's been like 10 years, there's some at least single digit % he died of all the normal ways people die, not to mention some chance that he gleefully sold the entire startup bitcoin amount to someone when it reached like $100 and then has since killed himself based on seeing what it became later (If you doubt anyone who still had say $100 million would kill themselves over that, I'm pretty sure there were people who committed suicide during the 2008 crash because they were now worth half of what they were, even when the new amount was still billions) or I mean some other related disaster, like he had the original startup bitcoins on a hard drive that died before it even got to $20 or something
