You call reaching $2 trillion after less than 2 decades with a radically different asset class that is not even close to anything else in the history of human existence, not performing poorly? Mate, your writing is completely backwards. Bitcoin is the best performing asset and has done extraordinarily well, impossibly well.

How the majority sees Bitcoin does not change what Bitcoin is though. I use it as a currency and as an asset. It is up to the individual how to use it.

It already is for certain groups of people.

Bitcoin is everything though. If people were using the USD more as an asset, would that make it stop being a currency? Not really. But yeah it should be also compared with the assets as well, not just the money supply.

I think that you are looking at this all wrong, more complicated than it is. I just don't like scams, many maximalists don't like scams either. Almost all altcoins are premined scams. It is as simple as that.

Besides this too of course.

The interest rates are not even 1 tenth of the real inflation rate. The manipulated numbers don't tell the real story, many everyday purchases have doubled in price in the last few years. When making the inflation data they always look at all possible items to find any that have gone down in price and include them this time, so that it lowers the calculation and the final number. Fiat is a losing battle, keeping money locked in a bank is one of the worst things that one can do with it.

Just ignore him, he has mental issues. No normal person would believe or post so many lies. He has no real arguments, just lies and because of that we are wasting our time with it. Better to press the ignore button.

Wrong. A company does not need to own any Bitcoin in advance to make payments to people or to offer this option. They can use any provider who will facilitate this at a small cost thereby reducing any risk and complications that may occur.  What you wrote is entirely incorrect.

I would just add that very few people know how badly they are being robbed. The group of people that are aware of the negative effects of inflation is already quite small, but even within this group very few people know the real effects. Often they look at official numbers and cite some data to show that it is bad but also not that terrible. Inflation is the biggest robbery ever done on humanity, combined with the high taxes that we are forced to pay they are taxing the normal people at a rate that is close to 99%. Much higher than even slaves were taxed in history.

Good win for capitalism and democracy, right?

No amount of regulations can stop the greed of the project founders or the greed of the investors, that is your mistake in this thread. As long as people are willing to chase these scams like EOS and TRON, there will always be a supply of new projects. Basically not even 1% of the projects that have been created in the last decade are legitimate, they are outright scams or only designed to enrich the founders. A few make it but those are rare.

What people think does not matter, only the objective truth matters. Bitcoin is a low risk investment. How many decades do need to pass before this nonsense about high risk investment stops?

Easy if you are not corrupt, the more corrupt you are the harder it is to run the nation.

It is almost exclusively luck, don't mistake gambling in the shitcoin casino for skill. For every winner there are thousands and thousands of losers. Just because someone happened to be the winner that does not mean they knew what they were doing. They just happened to be that one winner by chance, it could have been anyone.

While big media news outlets are also not that trustworthy, they are reporting and confirming this story so I guess it is true.

It is absolutely crazy that any country would allow this, but this just shows the hypocrisy of the democratic and humanitarian west. Israel is fully controlling them.

He didn't get into trouble because of money laundering, he got into trouble because of politics. Know the difference, don't let public information mislead you. Every single of the biggest banks in the world are processing more money laundering per year than any crypto platform or exchange could ever do. Are they arresting their executives or owners? Very rarely, and most often because of other fraudulent behavior and not this.

US government won't buy Bitcoin for its reserve and US government will buy Bitcoin for its reserve all within 24 hours. No manipulation at all. Lol.

The reason why it has dumped is manipulation through news which is not good for investors or traders. Big players control the cards and they are stacked against everyone else.

There is a simpler and cleaner solution, wipe Israel from existence and all these genocidal problems go away. The creation of the state of Israel was a big mistake and mostly innocents are now paying for it.

There is nothing wrong with being a criminal if the laws are stupid and complicated. You can break laws unknowingly and knowingly. Chances are you, me and everyone in this thread are technically criminals we just have not been convicted of anything. Prove me wrong.

No, why should anyone care about it?

Why would he not make all of those things if they sell? While gullible people in the left believed that Trump is about to go bankrupt due to the politically manipulated lawsuits, he is now richer than he has been for a long time if ever. 

You are just inventing things you have no idea how they are living, these are not arguments but just a show of your envy.

Do gun producers get into jail because someone uses their guns to commit murder? They don't. To makes things worse a mixer is not even a physical object, it is code, and code is speech. They don't deserve this, they didn't do anything wrong.

What is there to disagree, just look at the chart against Bitcoin. For most of its history it has underperformed and it would be better had you bought Bitcoin instead. Meanwhile you support premining and centralization when you buy projects like ETH.

Only idiots were fooled by this talk. 

It amazes me to date how many people are in love with this scam, when it goes contrary to everything that Bitcoin stands for. They even claim it is as decentralized as Bitcoin. 

I agree with you but I would like to note that the effect of manipulation continues to become lower even of geopolitics. If you look at the history and recent news and the related price movements, Bitcoin has matured drastically. There was a time that you could crash Bitcoin by saying China is banning it and pump when it unbans it. There were times when some negative news articles could cause more movements. These days not so much. Think about this. We have many global wars, tensions, bad macro economic situation and still we are priced over $100k at an crazy ATH! Just imagine the price of Bitcoin were the outlook on the planet more stable or even positive! This is what people don't understand doubt Bitcoin's future potential price increases.

Imagine no wars, interest rates near 0%, massive money printing. It will happen one day. When exactly nobody knows, but the outlook will be very positive once and that will propel Bitcoin to heights that most people doubt were possible.
