I'm not even sure "cash" will survive. People will be hoarding more concrete stuff like food, shelter and ammo.

It's also possible that even with the halving, that there's no bull run and that we have reached the ATH for a while.

I think it's better to buy Bitcoin because you believe its fundamentals are good and you think it makes up for sound money.

Anything else -- especially with money you can't afford to lose -- is too risky.

It really seems to me to be all hype and nothing concrete. I'm still not sure what's the use of the "metaverse".

I don't know if WWIII will happen because of that, but this issue really highlights the pitfalls of globalization. Countries should strive to be independent in sectors such as energy or food production!

Lying is part of human nature, I have no doubt about it.

According to my observation, socially-savvy people are especially good with "white lies" to grease social interactions.

Re: 2024 Bitcoin Halving - What are Your Expectations!!!
by
VanillaH
on 19/10/2022, 00:23:55 UTC
It will be like other halving: because less Bitcoins are being generated, its value will increase.

However, I do not know if the value will increase as much as in the past since we will probably in a cycle of rising interest rates.

My opinion is unpopular among my friends, but it's not because something is energy-intensive that it's necessarily bad. In exchange for Bitcoin's energy consumption, we have a decentralized, incorruptible and uncensorable ledger of financial transactions. That seems like a great deal to me!

They aren't many legit projects for sure. Honestly, I see BTC as the only legit project where the author's motives were "pure".

While it's ironic, self-custody is hard. If thieves were determined to break into my house, could they do it? Probably. Would my safe be enough to keep them at bay? I really don't know.

Re: Elon Musk is one of the keys to be 100k$ per Bitcoin?

Elon Musk is just one variable among so many. In the short term, he surely can have an important influence on Bitcoin, but on the long-term, it doesn't matter.
