To put that into perspective that’s a -64.34% for year to date compared to the pound (just as an example on volatility) -10.27% and Euro -8.42……
(Warning I don’t know what I’m talking about just a quick Google cos I wondered what Pilch’s bitcoin today 13,611.25 meant…..)

It was worth $315 in January 2015. My prediction is it will hit $100,000 before 2030. It's got more chance of doing so than net zero happening anyway ...

It's been quiet since mid-July. Not a huge amount to talk about to be honest. I'm only winding you up tbh. I do think it's quite interesting that btc has dipped below its previous cycle high again. Day after the cap hike is interesting timing. It's been as dead as a dodo for a while, BTC seems to be trying and failing to break and sustain $25,000+. I've been into FLR, had my airdrop, wrapped to WFLR and delegated and getting decent rewards. Remains to be seen what ideas Hugo has for the project moving forwards or if it's an extended 36 month airdrop for him and his friends to dump.

Remains to be seen what ideas Hugo has for the project moving forwards or if it's an extended 36 month airdrop for him and his friends to dump. On bitcoin, 99% of the volume is on Binance. Barely a cent in bitcoin is moving anywhere else, billions is changing hands on Binance. The implication is that the recent upwards price action is simply Binance "quarantining" BUSD before the market gets too spooked and occasional downwards pressure from people who've managed to exit their position cashing out (and those who can still redeem BUSD taking advantage of arbitrage opportunities). In other words, all the btc price is telling you is you now to have to pay more in stablecoins to get bitcoin (to facilitate the arbitrage mentioned above) but there's very little real demand for bitcoin from the outside economy (hence small transactions keep sending the price tumbling and it keeps yoyoing around). Very negative regulatory outlook as well, particularly if the SEC is going to require exchanged to be qualified custodians and comply with everything that entails (ie actual real life audits). Regarding your last paragraph, I think you've answered your own question; any currency or investment asset that has to be goven away for free probable doesn't have a great future but we'll see I guess

Bitcoin has hit $60,000 for the first time since November 2021 - putting the cryptocurrency in touching distance of a new record high.
One Bitcoin cost $60,650 at one point early on Wednesday afternoon, after days of huge rises.

Decided to get out... all getting very very valuable indeed. Split ours up and sent them to the kids, for their curation but with strong advice to hodl. Relieved not to have check the price 5x a day nor somehow mislay them. Good luck to all investing and hodling Coybs I hope the kids kept hold of them! £££

It will all come crashing down one day. It may well do, same as the .com boom, the internet, the metaverse etc. Then again, it may solve traditional finance issues, and be a welcome use and help to the world? I wish frankwellshrews was still about, we had some heated but very well debated back and forth on the pros/cons of cryptocurrency, he was extremely sceptical but I respected his opinion!

Gone back to record highs recently. What the hell is going on?
Perhaps it's because it's being accepted as a legitimate investment by the money men, so they are taking a position in it? I'm with the it will all come crashing down camp, especially at the levels it is now. Wonder what Warren Buffett thinks of it?

If you don't know, mining is going to be restricted/halved and only 450 BTC a day will be available, not 900 as of now. It's all supply and demand. There's only, and will ever only be 21 million bitcoin. Soon enough there will be 8 billion people on earth.

Frankwellshrew leaving the building has rather diminished the entertainment value of this thread. We were at total different ends of the crypto scale, but we managed to have a really good, respectful debate about it. He's a loss to the board, he was a clever chap!
