    Bitcoin is no solution to the problems Greece and venezuela are facing. They have much bigger problems and bitcoin will not help at all.
    I've been using it since 2012.

      I get it, you are a big btc supporter and have been for a while and maybe thats why its so difficult for you to realize that bitcoin is nearing its end of life.

          Bitcoin has no real use other than gambling and laundering money

            The thing is that I've been hearing the same thing for years every time there is a dip and there have been some big ones. Using approximations, $30 to $2, then $1200 to $200, now $20,000 to $3500.

                          Yes, they could. The Fed member banks can issue unlimited paper.

                            Disagree. XRP is a centralized utility token (not a store of value), and Ripple labs can create an infinite amount of it. Think of it like a company that is always at risk of dilluting its stock. Would you want to be a shareholder?

                                      but don't we all do that?

                                      get screwed waiting for bitcoin confirmations but use it anyway... get screwed by offshore sportsbooks but use them anyway... etc etc

                                      the restaurant employees at 95% of the places here are completely horrible, but i go there anyway because the pros usually outweigh the cons

                                          Bitcoin maybe...Crypto as a whole is just getting started. Bakkt right around the corner, etf approval most likely in a year or less. Those two things alone will bring alot of institutional money into this game. I agree with you to a point that maybe "Bitcoin's" run could be over. However, there are several cryptos out there with big minds, big money, and that can do much much more then bitcoin could ever dream of. Those are just getting started... Eos, Xlm, Ada, Xrp to name just a few. These have big teams and big money behind them. I understand theres 2k + coins out there. Most are shit coins but the strong will survive and mostly thrive going into our future..

                                            Everything is a big ponzi scheme.

                                            I agree about support levels, that stuff is a joke. It does not really exist.
                                            Support levels....
                                            The value of currency is simply that its an (often only) accepted unit of trade...to be widely accepted it has to be a relatively stable unit of trade...can you imagine the folks at walmart running around changing bitcoin prices every 5 minutes or you thinking your new car is going to cost 5 bitcoin and 2 hours later it costs 8 or vice versa it would simply be too unstable to ever have any confidence in what its trading value is...currency's only true value is in it's relative stability and acceptability...the speculation on BTC is that it would "settle" to some value point lets say a million dollars a bitcoin and then be acceptable internationally...this would start with major retailers accepting bitcoin but despite being pumped up like a Dem candidate on the mainstream news this never happened (probably bc it's price was so volatile) but what did happen is ppl saw what happens when major players dump lots of bitcoin on the market it shatters the value bc almost no one was actually buying anything with BTC they were just holding it as a highly speculative investment so when ppl saw it go from 19k to 14k in a week everyone slams the sell button and unloads their bitcoins and sends the currency into free fall to below 4k today just as they sent it soaring slamming the buy button prior...the only thing that's going to send bitcoin higher at this point is if a major retailer starts accepting it and don't hold your breath

                                              but they really aren't accepting bitcoin, they are accepting usd from bitpay who processes the payments

                                                Its a shame it hasnt gone lower. Thread will draw a ton of attention if it hits 3000. Same buffons will be lined up here flinging crap hoping it will stick just like they did several years ago laughing at bitcoin and we all know how that ended up.

                                                      people can win or lose money on both sides of everything

                                                      i lost money on the way up by getting robbed by mt gox

                                                      then i made money buying puts on riot (being negative) even while bitcoin was steady/rallying

                                                      just look at the bloodbath these stocks have taken, they deserved to be laughed at, so much of the crypto market is total fraud...

                                                      anyone that was bullish on the long-term potential of cryptos and bought any of those stocks has pretty much lost everything... and anyone that was negative and went short is sure loving life

                                                        Bitcoin goin lower everyday...folks must be tarded not to see that without the mainstream media pumping it 24/7 that it's goin to a million in 2 years this shit is worthless...true value is a couple hundred bucks and by end of next month that's bout where it will be...another advantage to "traditional" currency is that the companies that store it (we call them banks) don't normally just get hacked and have their entire deposits wiped out in 5 seconds and if your bank does get robbed its insured...must be nice to have had 100k in that Canadian bitcoin company that just got zeroed out the other day...they say sorry as their customers are chuggin loads under an overpass...who knows if they were complicit in the theft or not as there's ZERO regulation
