If for you Bitcoin is a bet on making money, then please consider investing based on CONVICTION. Here’s why:

-assumptions for the model:

--you seek BTC @ 1M in fiat (you really shouldn’t think in fiat but hey)

-- let’s use a simple Expected Value for the model: (% failure x investment) + (% success x reward)

-- you invest anywhere from 1,000 to 10,000$ (only what you can lose)

Results:

- if BTC price is 28K you need have at minimum a 2,8% chance (conviction) of Bitcoin succeeding for the bet to theoretically worth it

- if BTC price is 50K you need have at minimum a 4,8% chance (conviction) of Bitcoin succeeding for the bet to theoretically worth it

- if BTC price is 100K you need have at minimum a 9,1% chance (conviction) of Bitcoin succeeding for the bet to theoretically worth it

- if BTC price is 250K you need have at minimum a 20% chance (conviction) of Bitcoin succeeding for the bet to theoretically worth it

- if BTC price goes down to 10K you need have at minimum a 1% chance (conviction) of Bitcoin succeeding for the bet to theoretically worth it

Conclusion = the higher the fiat price, the higher your conviction about Bitcoin’s chance must be. So learn, observe, and keep learning before comitting. Take your time.

If for you Bitcoin is NOT a bet on making money but create a better future for everyone, then god bless you. Few.

Thank you for sharing this analysis with me. While I agree that conviction is an important factor in any investment decision, my belief in Bitcoin goes far beyond just making a profit.

As the creator of Bitcoin, my vision was to create a decentralized currency that was free from the manipulation and control of governments and financial institutions. While Bitcoin has certainly proved to be an exciting investment opportunity, its potential to revolutionize the financial system and empower individuals is what truly excites me.

Therefore, my conviction in Bitcoin is based on its transformative potential to create a better future for everyone, not just financial gain. While making a profit is certainly a welcome outcome, it is only one small piece of the puzzle. The real potential of Bitcoin lies in its ability to decentralize power and create a more equitable society.

So while I encourage responsible investing based on conviction, I also urge people to educate themselves on the true potential of Bitcoin and the underlying principles of decentralization and individual empowerment that it represents. By doing so, we can work together to create a better and more just world for all.
