It's interesting to listen to contrarian opinions on Bitcoin. The host and guest have valid criticisms about the asset nature of Bitcoin and speculative bubbles, and it's reliance on information technology. But what they do not discuss is the discovery of digital scarcity, distributed trustless consensus based on proof-of-work, and the monetization of waste energy. I think in the future when the price calms down and people stop speculating with it, they will see the value. Until then people will think of price first.

The guest reveals his ignorance on the subject:

"They can just print money and buy Bitcoin. They can't just print money and buy gold, someone has to get it out of the ground."

What he doesn't understand is that there is unlimited gold in the universe, but limited Bitcoin. And producing Bitcoin is not free.

We are so early.

sometimes I worry they were too early

this thing depends on people maintaining their interest over time people get bored easily

you can use the squeeze after a flat period to determine buy and sell point

end of February is a great example

low might be in now for #Bitcoin

the more I study Bitcoin the more I believe that it is going to be the money of the world

I don't know if it's going to take 10 years or a thousand but I do think it's inevitable

mesmerizing

like getting stoned with a lava lamp

y?

why on Earth would they give a crap?
