bitcoin is relatively safe, in the long term, don't look at the short term, plenty of manipulation going one, bitcoin need still plenty of time to grow

when everything about its problems will be settled, i beliave you will see the real usage of it, big merchants are waiting that after all, no reason for them to not accept bitcoin

I wouldn't say bitcoin is safe in the long term. Imagine someone bought bitcoins at 1000$ and after a few years they find out the price is at 300$, do you consider that safe? Of course not because it's not.

my definition of long term wasn't 2009-2013, but 20 years like satoshi proclaimed with his quote, so the last ath does not count anything at this point, wait for 2030 and if by then you still have to overcome the loss about the 1200 ath then you might be right

I would say that any investment that takes so long it's not worth it all. 20 years is a massive time lapse, there is no way to know what will happen with bitcoin or even with the world in 20 years. What if bitcoin only goes to 1000$, would that be worth it? No, I mean you would obviously look for something like each bitcoin to be worth 10k at least and you don't know if that will indeed happen.

well it's not 20 years anymore, now we are at -6 years so only 14, i think it's worth the way, you can't expect a new technology like bitcoin to skyrocket in 5 years, it's ridiculous
