That kind of answers is to expect when they have invested in BTC, and need to continue the hype to make it work. 
 

Neernam did not belive in BTC in the beginning, and also admitted he do not believe in it now, he is just in to make money and get out before to late. 
 

Thats why he promote a scam even everybody knows  there is no future in BTC, there can not be any future in BTC,  because it will eventually be replaced by something else. Nobody going to keep BTC alive because of nostalgia

33% of mongoloids. Nice.

Let's see what markets think...

Gold went from 2000 to 1800 since March 2022

Bitcoin went from 45,000 to 20,000 since March 2022

Pretty clear which one of the two investors favor.

Not 2020 but 2022

It is down 70% from its high.

The problem some point out is people do not understand it.

Very true, and most do not want to understand it or care.

It will bounce around, but I bet it will never be widely invested or used globally.

Also he put me on ignore list after I quoted his message "I've never bought Bitcoin" after he wrote "I've bought Bitcoin" in another thread

You are definitely right about Bitcoin being replaced by something better, but only as a digital currency. Bitcoin really sucks hard compared to many other alternatives, for its extremely slow transactions and high fees, as well as the carbon emission impact.

But having said that I still believe that Bitcoin has a future - as a store of wealth. It already has a huge worldwide acceptance and will be used as a digital gold.

If you bought for 40k?yes that would be bad in my book,if you bought it for less i would

Perhaps from 2012 to Nov 2021 btc was a 'viable alternative' to Au. Since then, it has been a suicidal alternative.

 

I'm not a fanboy of gold, but I do know it has a 5000 year history of being sought by humans, it has esthetic appeal in the form of jewelry, and it has numerous industrial and scientific uses (it even went to the moon as panels on the lander).

 

Yes, someone else has to buy it for the holder to realize a gain, but the ONLY thing btc has it that it requires someone else to believe in it enough to pay more, as it cannot be worn and has zero industrial use. It requires a constant stream of new buyers (Greater Fools). Though I have no figures to back it up, I suspect of the 7.9 billion humans now alive, billions more of them will pay for gold than relieve a hodler of his btc.

 

Articles like this reconfirm my belief that btc and crypto are cults. Using the phrase 'realizing the truth' in a title screams cult, like "The One Truth"..

 

I cannot help but think btc is a fantasy wrapped in a dream sprinkled with hope and held inside a bottle of snake oil, but that's why there are markets. Ya payz ya money, ya takes your chances.

Tells us one of the crypto fan boys...

Gold and Bitcoin are about as different as it gets.

The big problem with crypto is that is will crash if they don't find many new buyers.

And some people, not only in this forum, try desperately to convince people to put their money into crypto - someone has to put money into it or the old investors will never get their money back.

I am in crypto (not a massive amount) but I will certainly not try to convince anyone to put their money into it.  There's too much bull<deleted>tery going on. Definitely some good projects, but many more ponzi schemes and whales pushing and dumping, causing crashes. Not for the faint of heart for sure. I'll not be investing anymore until the situation becomes much clearer than it is now. 

 

Having said that, I am hurting on non-crypto assets too, so it is not just crypto that has taken a dive.

Bitcoiners say HODL.

 

This means you must keep it for at least 3 years. NO ONE who has done this has been disappointed. 

Cherry picking BTC haters love  the volatility as they can fool themselves into thinking they were right NOT to buy BT in 2013 lol

 

Go on give us a 10 year comparison!!!!!

My mistake based in this sentence “

About half of surveyed gold buyers report plans to acquire more of the asset”, and I stand corrected. 
 

No grand children, no future worries! Full trottle ahead with no regrets! If I had grand children, the very first I would teach them, was to not buy in to such non ethical scams as BTC. 
 

BTC stands for everything thats wrong in this world, and thats why Im against it! Im not against people making money, and Im not against people investing vise and get lucky, but this is a hype with no bottom what so ever. 

If some do not understand why it is unethical, dont botter do ask, you will not understand anyway.

Many of our members are having memory issues. Bitcoin rose to be the same price as gold 8+ years ago and now is 10x But hey, lets look at the last 6 months

Easy to use the word hate, when it is maybe more based known ledge about the risk involved investing in BTC, and hope people do not gamble their hard earnings. 

 

What deletes me off, is btc holders who constantly trying to make more people buy in to it, that’s annoying, but I still do not hate you!

I expect you know the banks are trying to keep the price of Bitcoin down, for obvious reasons, but the can't kill the bitcoin. 

I like this guy, Da Vinci, who you would have laughed at 9 years ago.

what all you guys forget, is that the world society have become much better the last centuries and now you are going to brake down evil with evil? No doubt there is improvements needed, but BTC is not the cure and you know it, and thats why you and everyone alike is spamming every possible channels with BTC spam. 
 

Im not hitting any links and have to spend time clearing up my browser for btc spam again.

Now, I know you must be smokin something.

The BTC market will surpass the gold one within 5 years, mark my words.

Im not worried about anything surpassing gold in the future, I know I will not loose my gold, and I have more legs to stand on. Good luck, and no, Im not smoking anything, or any other substances, and I think Im actually doing pretty good with my investments. As said before, I do not need to work for rest of my life, but still want to and I can. I have learned to live on little, and I also enjoy holidays with a little bit more. Contrasts is more worth than anything else in life except have someone you love, and who love you back as gf, wife, partner, and family. 
 

I like to preserve what I have more than anything else, and if I can do safe good vise investments without being 24/7 present, and feel no worries, then it is worth it. 
 

Quality life is the key when you get older, and god sake I have time to waste here, thats really a negative kickback, but here we are. ????????

 

Wish you all the best for future, but you really should invest your btc coins in to gold. Think about your GC now what they will say about their GF who last all his money on btc like a drunk gambler.

The thing is it's not a poll. It's a survey. Which means that questions were sent to x amount of people and x minus y were motivated to respond. So not a statistically valid way to actually gauge sentiment.

[placeholder]

Also, it should be noted that this survey was conducted from Apr 18-22 when BTC was still above US$40,000. I suspect that enthusiasm isn't nearly so high now.

I just cant bother clicking any of these bait’s anymore due to the spam  you receive because of it. But thanks for doing it, and of course opinions is floating with the wind. 
 

I bet many btc holders want the price to go up now past their entry, and then sell promising themselves to never buy again.

It's ridiculous as obviously I couldn't care if anyone here buys crypto. This is last place I would go if I were wanting that; mostly retired guys who don't buy crypto as they don't know how or are already financially secure. 

I'm one of the "ignored ones" he's referring to because he hates fa ts and can't support his bs. He has no clue and only wants to hype crypto in Hopes he doesn't lose every thing

I didn't say anyone can create Bitcoin, did I?

 

It's being created by the powerful financial people (bankers) in certain countries at the press of the button.

 

It's just like casinos are created by certain powerful and connected people. 

 

When someone gains money in a casino, it is due to another person losing money in the same casino. There are more losers than gainers in a casino, that's how the casino earns money. There is no exchange of goods in a casino, is there?

I was thinking of trading some BTC, at $5000-$15,000 BTC might actually not be that bad of a trade, I can see it going to mid $20,000's before next leg down, too bad my brokerage doesn't allow Canadians to trade bitcoin and now crypto stocks are too volatile.

 

As long as corporations and big money is still "staking" crypto will keep going down as thats in their favour, of course if crypto goes out now, all the companies/corporations will go bankrupt so crypto market is actually going to blow up either way. You have people leveraged on both sides.

when someone gains money with gold or stocks, it is due to another person losing money by buying that gold or these stocks for the higher price from the first person.

so...

gold = Ponzi scheme

stocks = Ponzi scheme
