In April I surely wouldn't be confident that BTC doesn't go below 70K. However, honestly I didn't expect it to happen in November after August-September rally. Now we are at 68K which is only 10K higher than 2026 low.
When you understand that the market works off of liquidity (I’m talking billions of dollars) it’s pretty simple why BTC can reach $0. It’ll take years tho
Not even sure if this is a serious post? If you need to have the money by June, why would you even consider investing in a highly volatile asset? That’s a very short term timeframe. Also, if you did have a game, you would be subject to the higher short-term capital gains because you held for less than a year. Nothing about this would make sense given what you said. And when you refer to “crypto“ as if you’re considering alt coins, those would be even more volatile, and quite a bit more likely for you to lose money then if you stick with BTC, which is the gold standard.
Nobody reading all that But you had to sell because you were over leveraged and had no liquidity in the form of cash If you’ve truly just blasted all your savings, then you’re in the same boat again That being said, I’m super bullish BTC and been buying BTC since 2017 So umm GL

Agree with the point above about watching funding and OI more than price. Snapshot as of about 5:25 PM ET: BTC perp funding is around +0.011% per 8h on BloFin and +0.008% on Bitunix (we partner with both, I'm just using their public data). So funding is back near the normal positive baseline, not negative. BloFin BTC open interest is about 4,640 BTC, down roughly 3% from about 4,800 this morning, while price only slipped from about 68.7k to 68.2k. So some leverage is still coming off, but shorts aren't crowded yet. Relief squeezes tend to come after funding flips negative. If price tests the August area with funding going negative and OI still falling, that looks more like a flush finishing than fresh selling. Not financial advice.
100%. I believe BTC so much I use a 200 day SMA strategy and buy 2x leveraged bitcoin which I sell out of if it’s under that signal only trading once a month to protect against complete wipe out, but using testfolio to backtest this, you’re looking at like 100%+ CAGR over multi year stretches it’s insane.
Truth be told...if you bought the amount of BTC= cost of GTA 6 in 2012...you'd still be rich rich
In my opinion TradFi took control with the ETFs to sync BTC's price action to the stock market. Or what has BTC to do with the step down of the CEO of a high valued company? All what happens recently is liquidating leverage in combination with sell pressure from miner and inpatient investors. Persist forever
You can sell your ass. Then get BTC.
Life is happening to BTC. Welcome to it.
You don't know that. If it can go to $100k by EOY it can go to $40k as well. Been in BTC long enough to know anything can happen and no one knows shit.
Well, since the SEC institutionalized BTC with ETFs, I’d say Wall Street is now the house. It used to be the Whales, but with large brokerages selling BTC ETF, BTC tracks with the NASDAQ now. Just my opinion.
BTC was never an investment. Do you expect money in your wallet to give you returns?
Thems a lot if words. Yeah i bought like $200 worth of BTC back in 2012 after helpin my uncle move into his new place cause I was only 16 at the time and couldn't invest yet. Doubt it's still there. Got all the info for it but they want all my damn info and id and shit and considering how secure they are... I'm good. Not even worth it bro. Mined a bit in 2014/15 about $100 worth but I had some hardware wallet for that one that didnt even show you the seed phrase it just stores it somewheren on the device or something. Got pissed because it had a minimum transfer value if like 10k and deleted it. I dinno, I was thinking of doing a chip change fund and buying bitcoi instead of paying for vices and bad habits. If I invest a bunch into it the price will bother me but if it's just a bit of cash now and again it's whatever. Healthier and richer lifestyle or some ahit.
Yes, people don't understand that DCA is king. MSTR has been doing DCA for about 6 years and show how successful it is. I just checked and their average buying price is 75k - ok, that is higher than the price now, but if they had tried to time it and panicked etc. they would probably be a lot more down. Also, six years is not really a long time frame. Anyone investing in BTC needs to have a timeframe of 20-30 years in mind.
I like all those tickers, except none of them are Bitcoin. They're Bitcoin proxies. The true estate problem comes with on-chain BTC.
This is literally what I’ve been waiting for we hadn’t hit dispair yet in BTC I didn’t see nearly enough stories of people getting wiped out to call the bottom earlier this year.
It’s almost a decade since it was profitable to mine BTC at home. In order to mine enough for it to be worthwhile you’d need multiple miners, you could buy second hand older miners like ant miner 21 and you’d need to have a way to deal with the noise and dissipate the heat. And you’d better have access to free electricity too. You can buy something like a Heatbit, which operates as a heater for your room and mines BTC, but your returns will be in the low 5 figure sats, and won’t cover the cost of running it.
You’re only going by what you see in your day to day. But there’s a lot going on with BTC around the world that has nothing to do with stock markets or getting rich. And this has been happening for 18 years
Looks like you are new to BTC. The CEO announced a share dilution yesterday.
I stopped reading after the first paragraph because something didn't make sense >Keep in mind at this point, even the idea of bitcoin hitting a dollar was absurd. You'd get laughed at. I first heard about Bitcoin from my buddy in 2012- it was towards the end of summer and he told me it was $8 and asked if I wanted to invest $100. I told him no because I didn't know what it was, keep in mind we were both working minimum wage jobs- I was full time and saw \~$500ish every two weeks and he was part-time while in school but heavy into tech (CS Grad) so far all he told me did with it was buy weed every now and again but did stash away a good amount and asked if I wanted to get in with him. Even if you converted to CAD which by your username "Montreal" it's still well over $1 for BTC. I'm just confused, why lie? If somebody is gonna lie about something as trivial as that, I'm not gonna be listening after that, especially from a 1 week old account with a hidden page.
I don't look at it that way. Tether is not like USDC. They are OG and will make moves for clients, themselves, and big users like Justin Sun. Tether is also a buyer and a seller of BTC. They are also a buyer of treasuries. They benefit from interest hikes. They see the board based on flows. Rate cut and they loose money. Hikes they benefit because they take the exchange cash and invest it. Lutnick, Commerce secretary, firm also are owners of USDT. Europe is about to freeze out USDT. Senator Blumenthal just called to see their records as he drills into the president. When I see those tweets about about some exchange printing like $300M, I look at as exit liquidity. Retail thinks pump and gets eager while the whales are about to take retails money and cash out. the candle is sitting on the 200 day avg on the daily. This used to shake BTC more but IBIT has slowed that. ETH also has gotten better to its impact. As well as Hype which may be based on how they are set up and built. Never permeated their system and chain. So it's going to get interesting. https://preview.redd.it/rd0b9x63uf1i1.png?width=861&format=png&auto=webp&s=8708da877726a6c3676ffeff83fde8acf398ab12

We don't look at BTC with a 1 year time frame, we see its 10x in at least 2 having cycles
For the haters, just look at the price vs halving cycles: https://www.tradingview.com/chart/BTCUSD/fwub9F60-BTC-Halving-Master-Cheatsheet/ Next halving is April 2028, so next all time high should be around 2029.
Basically within the given time frame specified in the chart, the price of BTC has come down 4%. The opposite can also happen in the future.
People still need to buy BTC. None of this type of stuff is gauranteed.
BTC love is predictable if you are a good trader… for months, we said it could reach 30k or less before it goes to the highest… Nothing comes by hasard
**Yes. This is BAD for Bitcoin, not neutral.** When several negative indicators appear together, the warning is stronger: * **Declining investor demand:** Fewer buyers willing to absorb selling pressure. * **Declining hashrate:** Less computing power committed to securing Bitcoin. * **Miners shutting down equipment:** A sign of financial pressure in the mining industry. * **Falling BTC price:** Evidence that sellers are currently dominating buyers. The combination is **clearly bearish**. What makes it particularly concerning is the possibility of a feedback loop: falling prices hurt mining profitability, miners may sell BTC to cover expenses, and that selling can put additional pressure on prices.
Again, I'm not arguing, but I am saying a significant part of this sub disagrees. "Issues with current institutions, therefore BTC good/divine" is a common enough fallacy to serve as a requirement to post here.
The feeling is that it’s the only real thing because money is not real it just printed paper with no value only what a group of turfs say it’s worth whereas BTC is limited and an asset but I don’t have the balled to have any
I'm going to invest in BTC six years ago. Screw the haters.
How can you go this crazy about BTC. Bro needs a therapist because of BTC? How do you get this far??!
Actually, a lot of my friends who used to invest heavily in BTC have shifted a lot of their spare monies to Polymarket; so that might actually be having an impact.
Just checked... 15% I have lost DCAing BTC for 1 year...
Yeah, I used a 5 year window because it covers two full market cycles. That includes the 2021 peak, 2022 rate-hikes, 2024-25 bull runs and 2026 pullback. Additionally, it aligns with assessing investments based on mature market capitalizations. By 2019-21, BTC had already corssed a $100B to $1T market cap, furutres were live and mainstream retail and institutional custody existed. This is how you assess an established macro asset beyond the startup growth that is very likely to not ever happen again. Does that mean I'm right? Who tf knows, but guess what? No other asset class has ever broken out of this model, and BTC is very unlikely to as well. In fact it's got even more tailwinds than other asset classes (non-insurability, theft/hacking/fraud risk, etc.).
GTA 6 or BTC - the true question
BTC has an avg growth or 37% annually when you zoom out. You can borrow against a BTC stack just like any other asset and avoid CGT. BTC is leverage tool. That's it
I didn't smoke before checking charts, I invested in BTC a few days ago, and now I smoke!
You can “what if” basically any asset and find a way to say it’s not worth it. However looking through a positive lens, if you’d bought 4 years ago to the day you’d be up 414%, or if you’d bought 6 years ago to the day you’d be up 680%. Could do that all day long, even with the massive pullbacks over the past 12 months you’ll be up massively in almost every scenario. You don’t like 2022 reference from the other poster but that scenario is like every other 4-year cycle prior when it comes to BTC.
Imho, BTC and all crypto are approx. 100% overvalued.
It is possible though for both those events to pull liquidity form BTC. Whether that's true or not in another question. But those aren't inherently contradictory theses.

Exactly, the utility tokens are going to move quadrillions in tokenised assets and generate substantial revenue. BTC on the other hand… what does it do exactly?
Is there not some structural problems with AI coming. Cost of mining (cost of hardware), the coming crash/concentration of the technology sector? A better network will very likely overtake BTC?
Dude, ask any AI, Warren Buffet totally said that exactly yesterday. It was quoted all over the world, but the news value of our BTC CEO lost to Nvidia CEO's extramarital bangs.
So i am thinking that speculators realize this will be the last year they can legally wash trade, so they are trying to get as much losses on the books right now to cover losses in PMGs and Tech stocks. Then BTC go Brrrrr to get massive gains that will essentially be tax free from all the losses they took.
Dude an index fund like spy is up over 100 percent and BTC is flat … it was a good for a brief time now it’s trash … it’s a 1 trillion shut coin with no real value and just wait until the stock market goes tits up … where you think BTC be trading then … stocks at ATH now
Well couple points, 1. The hack say at Binance is an example, of attemping to reneging BTC transactions. The main selling point, I'd argue that BTC is progammable and on a general ledger is that once a transaction goes through, it's done. Regardless of whether it's fraud or credible. Well, if the exchanges etc just try to renege on the transactions, it's no different than reporting fraud on your bank account and receiving your fiat money back right? What's the value added of a general ledger? It'd be nil. 2. For the comment "Digital gold is the usecase for no other reason that its supply is forever known and capped" I'd argue it's just speculation, or a greater fools bubble, "you know it's worthless, you still pay money to buy it because you expect the price to go up and sell it to some other jack and make a profit" The distinction with real gold, is there are fundamental demand for gold as a commodity to be used to make stuff. 3. "Stocks are cool…when they are being honest about their business…not this ai circular financing clown show of accelerationist hopium" Reply: Stocks are more than just AI companies, you could've invested in campbell soup for all I care, or in stocks in other countries. Or not even in stocks and invested in real estate, or invested into yourself and started a business. The point is BTC is a risky investment (I still don't get the thesis), and there are similar alternatives with the same risk profile that you could've done with that money instead. Lastly, money supply growth and asset prices do have a positive correlation, but it's just a statistical estimation, there is no guarantee. In the case of BTC, there were episodes of it's price declining while inflation was still positive (increase in money supply). So that whole bit has faulty assumptions.
I don't believe Bitcoin will ever become the most valuable commodity in the world. I've never believed BTC has any intrinsic value. Yet I decided to hold some BTC—not because I believe in it, but because millions of other people do, and I hope they're right. One year of DCAing so far I have only lost money... I need BTC above $81k So far it only gets close and backs down again JUST AFTER I BOUGHT MORE!!!
How can you be sure it's going to be the best performing asset and the best store of value for the next 10 years...? There's 0 guarantee of that, especially from a specialized investing or portfolio management perspective. Also, I thought the initial argument was that BTC's price will increase because AI agents were going to use it, but now the argument is that AI agents will use it because its price will increase?
Nothing is over. Every 4 years BTC goes up 8+ , and it will happen again, usually when you least expect it! You can sell it……
lol yea me personally i dont really trade BTC anymore.. i just hold what i have, and if it works out it works out, and if it doesn't then i guess i'll survive that too.
False equivalence. Those shitcoins paid their dividend in their own token and had no other backing asset. Strategy, in the other hand, has a stack of BTC and pays out in fiat.
I hope BTC drops to $1 because I know it will go back up! BTC is here to stay.
Retail will likely matter less and less re: BTC price evolution. The trading volume is already overwhelmingly dominated by institutions, and the ownership is slowly turning tides as well.
The whole book you wrote up there has nothing to do with the commenters statement that ‘crypto is not used as currency’. You’re arguing with yourself about a point you brought up yourself, and none of that has anything to do with mine or your philosophy about what a decentralised society would look like built on a BTC economy.
every shitcoin is mathematically scarce. what's special about BTC?
It was to be expected i guess. Not sure why it even pumped to 85k in the first place. These months should be BTC at its lowest point, if you follow and trust the pattern of the, no too many, cycles we had before this.
Honestly - I know it’s stupid but this makes me feel better - people are going nuts everywhere not just in BTC
Bro bought BTC at 120k and is now screeching?
bro are you kidding? stablecoins are only technically crypto, the idea of BTC is a complete world apart. again how are you claiming to be a BTC maxi if you don't even understand this? BTC 'is not preferred as a currency'???? i'm a libertarian computer geek who likes economics who read the white paper in 2011 and mined my first BTC in 2011. you sound like someone who came along 10 years later as a 'crypto enthusiast' and 'learned' your beliefs from just parroting what some other enthusiasts/speculators told you. what i'm arguing about here exactly is crypto, and by that i mean true economic crypto like bitcoin, has little adoption as a currency and vast adoption as a speculative asset. and that USDT does not imply any adoption along any intent of crypto or bitcoin or the white paper in the first place, it's adoption of some new infrastructure which just tokenizes dollars and happens to use a blockchain. it literally does nothing whatsoever to advance anything into why bitcoin was made in the first place, and arguably just entrenches the fiat system it was intended to challenge. and that i have to explain this to a supposed BTC maxi is *bizarre*
BTC has mostly ignored money supply and inflation, or fallen as those rise, the last 5-6 years. You can assume a new pattern emerges, but so far money printing (nor inflation) have paired with BTC growth, as both are stories of the last 5-6 years and for BTC it's a continuation of slowing growth.
Plausibly a real contributor, yes — but for a mechanical reason rather than a sentiment one. Index funds tracking MSCI don't get to decide; they have to sell their MSTR holdings before the November 30 effective date, so there's a known deadline and billions in forced selling hanging over the stock. That hits MSTR the stock, not BTC itself — no BTC gets sold by that process. It only becomes a BTC story if it pressures Strategy's ability to raise more debt or equity to buy BTC, or if people treat the MSTR price as a proxy for BTC sentiment. So I'd treat it as one weight on an already weak tape, not the whole explanation for the crash.
Bitcoin stopped growing pretty close to the period when money printing took off. Half the dollars in existence by end of the term will be printed under Trump/Biden. 6T Trump 1, 2T Biden term, but we are back to a 5T pace this term. BTC has cooled right as money printing and then inflation took off once the printing met a reopened economy. Both being patterns of the last 5-6 years. (I also wouldn't assume we get money printing of 1-2T a year like we do under the current President over the next decade that follows, the printing will likely massively slow).
The conversation was about whether crypto is used as currency. It is. If you’re so knowledgable about the differences you also know that BTC is not preferred as currency (although it’s also used as currency on a much lesser scale to stablecoins). What are you arguing here exactly?
5 years from now and if you held only a 6% GAIN is what happened. GET INTO BONDS, you could of held NVDA you could of held VOO you would of doubled your money while all these BTC swings are happening This is honestly a put 2 dollars a day in and forget. Fuck BTC
For those who are long term, just DCA! No one knows exactly hose BTC WILL behave in the short term. Period!
Wish I could drop screenshots in the comments. I sold when we closed two straight weeks below the 50-week moving average in the mid 90k. Obviously I didn't nail the absolute top, and starting my buybacks at $87k wasn't the greatest price either. The difference is I have plenty of dry powder to buy all the way down and all the way up, and if we tap $54k, I am loading the boat. Not a multimillionaire by any stretch, and I don't hold spot BTC. I only buy IBIT, putting a few hundred thousand to work and systematically DCAing every Monday.
Shitcoins today didn't follow BTC's lead to drop. They've fallen so much, it's not even worth it, what, they are going to go from 99.9% down to 99.99% down?
they technically are, but if you can't understand the economic difference between BTC and tokenized USD, what can i say. i don't even understand how you could claim to be a BTC maxi above if you don't even get this.
Ignore it mostly. It's only a loss if you sell when it's down. I also remember that for several years it's been an echo of other markets; stock market goes up, this does too. Stock market goes down, this does too. BTC isn't an isolated bubble. Many people buy and sell based off the larger macro-economic environment. No one can predict day to day just like any market, but long term trends can be observed. The bond markets have been predicting doom and gloom for a while now for lots of markets. The Fed rate effects behaviors more than it should. Everything is a ripple. I long for the day when it doesn't echo the stock market.
Small bounce lean on BTC from here. On our Hunter Killer liquidation heatmap the closest real cluster is short liquidations, about $157M near 69,283, with a bigger $281M pocket near 70,314 above that. Shorts got squeezed harder than longs in the last hour, which fits that drift up. What breaks it is a slip under 68,579, since below that the map shows roughly $669M of long liquidations stacked near 67,450, and that would be the much bigger magnet. Not advice.
Nobody nails the exact bottom, so the practical question is how to buy without needing to. Split what you want to put in into several chunks and set them at prices or dates in advance, so you're not making the call in the moment when the chart looks worst. Part of this drop has been forced selling: our Hunter Killer liquidation feed shows roughly $1.07B of BTC longs liquidated over the last 24 hours, against about $46M of shorts. Flushes like that often mark where leverage gets cleaned out, but they can keep going for days, which is another reason to stagger entries. Only use money you won't need for a couple of years, skip leverage entirely while buying a dip, and move what you buy off the exchange to a wallet you control. Not advice.
Honest answer: nobody knows. The most useful thing I've seen this week is three systems that don't pretend to. I run a public test where Claude Opus, Claude Fable and my own trading AI each manage $50,000 of paper money on live BTC and ETH prices. None of them is trying to call next week. All three are simply out. The Claude models have been 100% in cash since Nov 5. Mine sold its last BTC at the Nov 12 close. What I find more interesting than a forecast is what each says it needs to see before buying back. From their own notes last night: Opus wants BTC back above about 76k, or a base that holds for several days. Fable wants a close above roughly 80k. So their answer to "bounce or new lows" is that the price will tell them. They'd rather miss the first part of a bounce than sit through the rest of a fall. Where that has left them at the Nov 12 close, since Oct 9: holding -16.24%, the Claude models -7.55% and -7.58%, mine -3.43%. I build the third one (Botsfolio). Every decision and note is public here if you want to watch what they do when it turns: [https://botsfolio.com/battle/botsfolio-ai-vs-claude](https://botsfolio.com/battle/botsfolio-ai-vs-claude)
Idk. Just waiting for that guy with 0.00000001BTC to sell.
You don't know that. No one knows the future when it comes to BTC. One thing is a fact, it pulls back every fucking time the market dips, inflation or AI dumps.
Means far less people are transacting BTC
Whole crypto will go with it imo. Bitcoin is like the face of crypto, the rest of coins are like addons to btc. I really doubt this will change, if BTC stagnates, every coin will go down with it, but most likely BTC will suck whole value out of alts and then die.
USDT.D is a useful gauge of risk appetite, since money rotating into stablecoins pushes it up while price falls. The catch is that it lags a bit and can spike just from a falling denominator, so I'd read it next to BTC volume rather than on its own. It tells you about the mood more than the timing.
If you hold regular stock and index funds and all that, then you have to stop and ask yourself right now "what am I doing?" -- you know exactly what the market does, you know damn well it goes up and down, so wtf? Cut it out. If you don't own anything other than BTC; these are the exact things you should expect to experience when you're holding any ticker - conviction and patience is the only thing we have for real, anything else is just charts and speculation of what may happen; few people are good at reading speculation, most are not. ..and plus, by the time you hear anything major has happened, so will the world, so you know .. stop lol. Set up your DCA, or limits, and close whatever app you use.. nothing anyone can do but wait.
Super safe until AI and quantum computing hack the “unshakable” blockchain…we can laugh at the idea now, but that day is coming and then it’s over if you’re holding any…as in BTC will be $0.00.

Oct 22 to the Nov 12 close: * Holding the same cryptos: **-20.02%** * The AI: **-4.63%** **Week by week (holding vs the AI)** * Oct 21 to 25: -3.44% vs -1.05% * Oct 26 to Nov 1: -2.84% vs -0.76% * Nov 2 to 8: -7.77% vs -1.44% * Nov 9 to 12: -7.57% vs -1.45% **By crypto (held vs traded)** * BTC: -15.06% vs -3.54% * ETH: -18.38% vs -2.32% * SOL: -23.63% vs -2.96% * XRP: -23.76% vs 0.00% * XLM: -15.39% vs 0.00% * ZEC: -21.52% vs -11.27% * NEAR: -29.88% vs -18.04% **What this does and doesn't show** * It lost money every single week. It just lost a lot less. * Three weeks of a falling market say nothing about a rising one. In my tests on past years it finished behind plain holding in the strongest bull years. That's the trade: give up some of the top to skip most of the fall. * Today's drop isn't in these numbers yet. I'll add it in the comments after the close. * It can only trade. It has no withdrawal access, so funds stay in your own exchange account. Every trade goes into a public log that is sealed every hour and anchored in Bitcoin, so nobody can edit the record afterwards, me included: [https://botsfolio.com/track-record/real-money](https://botsfolio.com/track-record/real-money) Honest question: would you give up part of a bull run to cut drops like this by about three quarters? Curious where people here land. Disclosure: I build Botsfolio, an AI that trades inside the user's own exchange account. This fall is the first real test it has had. I'd rather show the whole record than a highlight. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

“Your KYC failed, no further details, good luck.” Love the transparency. Funny how the $26k deposit didn’t need a manual review. 🤦🏻♀️ What I’d do: **Stop calling, start emailing.** Ask in writing: which KYC check failed, what to resubmit, whose pool account your miners are hashing to, and whether your balance is still being credited. Give them a deadline. A paper trail beats unanswered calls. **Check your setup.** If your miners point to *your own* pool account, your BTC is at the pool, and host KYC shouldn’t touch it. If they’re on *their* pool, they’re holding your coins. In that case, ask them to repoint the miners to your account or ship your hardware back. **Escalate if ignored.** File complaints with the Texas AG (their facility is in Texas), the BBB, and the FTC. **For anyone shopping for hosting:** pick a setup where you own the ASIC and connect it to a pool account in your name (Foundry, ViaBTC, F2Pool, Braiins, etc.), so payouts go straight to your wallet. The host should only control power and a rack, never your coins. Before you pay anyone, search “\[company\] withdrawal/refund complaints,” read who controls the pool in the agreement, and start with one machine. If they want a “fee to unlock withdrawals,” run. Hope you get it sorted. Post an update if they finally decide to answer you.
All these people reacting to people reacting ti BTC prices... as if...
Don't forget we allowed futures trading on BTC and swaps, too. It's more complicated than ever!
People like me trade it back and forth all the time, I see it as a reliable money maker tbh. Made more with it that I could possibly make with BTC.
I actually think BTC is what harmed adoption, particular the break between big to small blocks. For your characterization, I don't think I'd conclude it is being used as currency, because the scale seems so little and so consolidated. If this was done with silver or gold, I'd have the same conclusion. Not oh boy golf is being monetized and we're on track to use it as currency again - just that some small amount of isolated transactions were settled in it. Arguably with less risk among parties of it was actually gold.
Google it. It's true. If they all DCA'd into VOO/BTC instead they'd be exponentially better off but instead most goes to the house. Dopamine.
Well yeaaa ok, now I see. We’re not talking about some decentralised Utopia here on BTC (though BTC maxi at heart here)z We’re talking centralised, controlled and regulated transactions. No different than fiat. If anything it makes people’s lives even harder as the scrutiny is even stricter, given the ‘high risk’ nature of crypto assets. But the discussion here is whether crypto is being used as currency, and it undoubtedly and certainly is, it’s not just some Redditor making a future prediction. It’s publicly verifiable information and I’m gobsmacked people in here aren’t aware at the vast scale this is occurring at.
