Bitcoin

[fmyth]

The price of entry is currently $0.0009. Bitcoin can be transacted in fractions as small as 0.00000001. The base unit of bitcoin is a satoshi (often abbreviated “sat”), and there are 100 million sats per bitcoin (same concept as 100 pennies in a dollar).

One share of the Blackrock BTC ETF is $50. Far more people will invest in the BTC ETF than will ever buy Bitcoin.

yeah I poorly tried to state what I was getting at. I understand the satoshi/fractional, I guess what I was getting at is most folks don’t and with the price getting so high how much growth is left to offset the common risks mentioned. It’s difficult to see it continue it’s incredible run the past 15 years. Don’t get me wrong, I want it to go full Michael Saylor prediction level but have been nervous this cycle.

Posted this on the stock traders thread and didn't realize it was probably in the wrong place, so i deleted it and will post it here...

Thinking about putting a small amount of funds (1-5%) into FBTC. Currently holding about 50% cash/50% stocks in a couple of IRA's, preparing for a potential dip in the stock market. What would be a prudent amount of FBTC if any for a growth/risk tolerant investor to buy the dip in the crypto market?

I'm in no way qualified to give financial advise to you or anyone else. I did read that Bank of America's wealth management divisions, including Merrill and Private Bank announced that their clients should consider investing 1-4% of their portfolio in BTC ETF's.

Can someone help me here, I’m not anti crypto. I think it has a place in the future. But do think the historical trend of Bitcoin is telling us something. Just not sure what.

Is it a currency? No, and honestly don’t think it ever will be because it is too costly, and do not think the layman will ever understand the Satoshi fractional enough to use it as everyday currency.

Is it a store of value? No. As a store of value doesn’t go through a consistent 3-4 year cycle.

So what are we left with? Proof of concept for another crypto?

Likely going to be another volatile week.

Well I am in. Not exactly sure what bitcoin ends up being, but it is here to stay in my opinion and with absolutely zero monetary discipline from either side in the US it is at worst an inflation hedge. Told myself last time it was under $90k I would buy, so might as well give it a try.

MSTR is going to be worth more than all GDP's combined or it's going to make ENE's and Bernie's shenanigans look like true rookies.

The rebirth of free market money undergoing growing pains as the world slowly realizes its value. I welcome the day bitcoin’s relative value stabilizes, but until then, I’m content with outsized gains as an early adopter. I could be mistaken in my prediction/hope for bitcoin, but for posterity’s sake, I hope I’m correct.

The CEO of Nvidia (NVDA) Jensen Huang: “Bitcoin is taking excess energy, storing it into a new form — it's called currency.”“And you take that currency wherever you like. So you took energy from one place and now you've transported it everywhere.”

Should We Compare Bitcoin to Gold? Lessons From the Last Financial Crisis

Wharton’s Rahul Kapoor and Lehigh University’s Natalya Vinokurova explain the risks of comparing Bitcoin to gold.

knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu

Wharton School of Business came out with this article back in March. They are comparing BTC to gold as a store of value.

Their bottom line:
“The striking parallels between Bitcoin and MBS suggest that history may be repeating itself. In fact, the negative consequences of the analogy of Bitcoin to gold might be even more severe than the analogy of MBS to bonds. While most MBS at the end of the day were backed by real assets — mortgages on real houses — Bitcoin is not backed by any real assets.

If you are not in the business of speculation, steering clear of investing in Bitcoin — or for that matter any cryptocurrency — may be the best way to avoid the fallout from another misguided analogy.”

I have FOMO on the whole bitcoin thing but if I was holding it right now I would be crapping bricks. I always look and WISH i had bought it 5 years ago but don't want it now... frustrating.

Those emotions are shared by most folks on ANY volatile asset/stock/product.

Dumb retail money sitting on the side lines is relieved they didn’t buy when the price dumps. Then they regret not buying during the next run up.

Rinse/repeat.
