investment of over $14 billion
See, that is the problem right there. Many people here are very unsophisticated. They can't discern the difference between '$14 Billion investment' and '$14 Billion valuation'.
Because these very stupid people can't understand these very different concepts, they just keep on buying, and buying. Thus, we have a 'natural Ponzi scheme'. Bitcoin offers no utility nor function to anyone. It is simply a 'buy and hope' speculator's tool. There is no revenue. There are no earnings. It is just a more inflated 'market cap' day after day. A total Ponzi scheme.
Its the first time i do see someone saying soo many bullshit into one single post, soo my question to you is what the hell are you doing here, since this is a bitcoin forum and crypto currencies? Anyway, bitcoin has a structure and it has value, you wanna a revenue lend your coins at poloniex, invest into casinos bankroll, the fact bitcoin is growing results into a big demand that makes the price raise.
Price for investments has a lot of weight if you are sure which plan to invest their bitcoin. This is a special thing when you get to the exit, too bitcoin.
