Unless someone can produce a legitimate, viable product from bitcoin, that 100k would still just be built on the back of rabid speculation and blatant pyramid schemes and doomed to fail - hopefully in a way that's 10x more likely to get the scammers lynched than if the crash completes this time.

If you invented a viable product for a crypto currency why peg it to bitcoin? Just come up with a new one.

I’m surprised people don’t just park X amount of cash in Coinbase in Y/Z/Zz+ currency and cash out when they make a profit. (Unless they can’t lol)

Any crypto money is essentially the same as lighting it on fire walking into a casino. I’m fine seeing my $500 gamble from last year ride the wave.

What ever happened to ‘don’t put in more than afford to lose’ mentality?

holy poo poo some of the cognitive dissonance in this thread is astounding; when bitcoin millionaires are talking up their paper gains then everything's cool, but when those same people start posting sob stories about being unable to pay back their huge personal loans suddenly it's time to remind everyone that those stories might be fake as poo poo cause anyone can sign up for a reddit account and say whatever they want and and and and and

What did you say the strategy was?
Is there actually anything that drives one coinbase to rise other than blind speculation? It seems like most of these aren't usable for purchases, and as such are all purely gambling based on what you think the market will do.

Surely you could invent a coin, trade it to yourself for like 2k, drive the price up as people jump in then abandon them all?

The more I read about people blowing loans and life savings on this poo poo, the more I think that it is entirely possible that its a ride that's never going to end. The people in a position to manipulate the market to their own end will continue to do so, and it'll regularly plunge down before creeping back up again. It could be a thing entirely supported by nothing else by the leveraged greed of woefully misguided people.

My mistake is I keep treating this poo poo like a rational market, thinking people will realize that there are no fundamentals to these "currencies" (forked codebases) and that that will be enough to pop the bubble, leaving maybe Bitcoin and one to two others at 10% of their current value for money laundering/drugs. But nope, people are happily pumping millions into round two of ponzicoin less than 24 hours after people lost their shirts in it.

Maybe Bitcoin will hit 100K by end of the year. Logic certainly wouldn't stop that from happening.

And I used to think stocks were crazy, "Wow people keep buying them and they are probably 30% overvalued right now!" and then I exposed myself to the poop.

A lot of average Joes, "normies" as the woke folk seem to like to call them, are seeing news articles with big numbers like 1000% and they literally just switch off their brains and plough their money, life savings, loans, etc into it. How these people don't stop, even for a second, to consider that how they know about this incredible investment opportunity that has somehow passed Wall Street by, when they know nothing about investments themselves, is truly staggering but not that surprising. Pretty much everyone in the world, including those already well off, dreams of instant big wins - so reading stories about the meteoric rise of BTC and other cryptos is enough for them to jump in.

It's sad because ultimately with these big crashes there are people out there really losing their shirts, and plenty more that are completely innocent because their significant other blew their kids college funds, etc on this poo poo without their knowledge or consent. But, there are enough of these people around to sustain BTC and other cryptos indefinitely I think, just look at the story of GTAT. People don't learn, and the ones that do are replaced by others who haven't yet learnt this horrific lesson.

I've stopped thinking that it will collapse completely, now I just think it'll repeat the massive slump and slow recovery cycle over and over (it's done this several times already, and the wokes talk about this being perfectly normal behaviour), all the while crucifying innumerable people who are spending money they don't have. The only people who will make serious money on this now - ironically - are the people who are already proficient at investing, and/or are straight up manipulating the market anyway.
