$ Cash. Thank God USA exists otherwise people would suffer even more. Plugging Bitcoin in such a Country is just convenient for Bitcoin but not the people
Of course bitcoin does not completely negate the potential utility of physical cash..... even though bitcoin is superior than physical cash systems as we currently know them to be.. and surely it will take a long time for bitcoin to completely subsume all monetary value systems through the failure (and inferiority that will continue to be exhibited through various inferior systems, including physical cash like the dollar as we currently know it today), but even then there are other forms of value, besides monetary value that will be retained by other goods, services, assets.. and perhaps some other forms of cash will exist.. even though they might end up having to be issued on bitcoin. .or through some kind of system that is pegged to bitcoin.. but no need to rush these matters that could take decades, if not centuries to sort out the various kinds of value and even the figuring out of how the various shitcoins or value systems are inferior to bitcoin. .at least in terms of sorting through Gresham law principles which exist whether you believe in them or not or even whether you advocate for them or not.
Why are you guys saying its a trap pump? If anything this seems like insiders buying in after hearing some good news which is yet to be revealed.
I actually don't ...
BUT
it's EOY, manager bonuses about to be payed out, gains (*g*) to be taken, taxes about to be payed, christmas shenanigans about to be financed
soon.
I reckon there is some downward potential around the corner, but apart from that, King Daddy will just be going on doing his thing

King daddy likely gives few shits about calendar year dynamics, even though sure there could be some of these kinds of short-term affects on BTC price.. .. which yeah I seem to largely be saying the same things as you OOM.
when I was dismissed as a nut job and a conspiracy theorist
Who would-a thunk?
