Aren't you still sure who is going to win JJG ? Kidding me, right ?

If you had not noticed yet, I'm kind of stubborn, and I don't change my views very easily... Instead, I tweak from time to time, and yeah, maybe I will tweak my views into oblivion.. but nonetheless, I would characterize that as tweaking rather than starting over again with a whole new paradigm and way of thinking.

I'm perma-stubborn and I will not leave you until you are a permabull like me Cheesy

hahahahaha

We can still get along, even if we have different ways of thinking. That is part of the greatness of forums like this, and even when we may share a lot of views, we arrive at such views from differing life experiences.. and maybe even different logic, even though we may end up at the same place from time to time.

Some may call it a circle jerk, but it is not. You and other bitcoin bulls help me to consider my perspective from a different point of view than would some contrarian. I can learn from contrarians too, but as we all likely realize, the energy is different, and also, sometimes it is just frustrating when some of the contrarians may be contrarian merely for the sake of contrarianess, or making up their own set of facts - so it is difficult even to get to the point or to stay on point because they just make shit up.

I must admit that we the (bulls and permabulls) have a massive energy and optimism to give and share

We believe in in ourselves, in Allah (God) and in Bitcoin as a whole ecosystem.

And as you said, in the end, our thinking will meet at a point, whatever we agreed or not while being on the road Wink

Hahahahaha..

This one is funny, and will put some moderation on your bullishness.

The article asserts that bitcoin's market cap may well go up to $50 billion by 2036...

hahahahahaha

We gotta wait 20 years for a 5x increase... Cry

that's still a bit better than index funds that will possibly deliver a 3x increase in such a time frame.

$50B can be easily seen in a year, not at 2036 Cheesy

The issue is that the people in the kitchen knows more about just an journalist who researches the topic broadly.

I don't know about BRexit, but GRexit definitely had a way to make money. Actually, a zero-risk way. The only thing is that you needed to be a Greek to be able to profit.

Betting sites were giving ~1.62x for "no grexit by 1/1/2016"

So, if, say, a greek had 20 btc and placed 5 of them in "no grexit", then in the "no grexit" scenario he would make them 23 in total.

If grexit did happen, then he'd lose the 5 btc of the bet, but the remaining 15 btc would double-triple-quadruple in value in the new local currency after exiting the euro. So it was kind of "profit either way, in different ways" scenario.

I think it would be the same, IMHO. Why not ? I can't find a reason.

In theory the Greek drachma, that would have to be introduced after exiting the euro, would be more weak than the already-existing GBP (which is one of the biggest currencies in the world anyway). The potential for GBP to slide downwards 2-3-4 times is waaay lower than the introduction of a new currency for Greece which would have a sharp devaluation.

Good point, missed this tbh.
