    Yes. But it’s worth watching the stages of greef on the thread. Dropped from $800B market cap to $322B this morning.

    Looking at crypto as a whole, it has always been cashflow negative. There's no way to make money from it other than the "bigger fool" principle and there are actual equipment and energy costs for mining and transactions.
    You might say that you can make money from it by mining as well, however, this really just dilutes the pool.

    There is no real utility for anyone using bitcoin. Currently I'm not even aware of you being able to lend it to charge interest.

    Reading some of the comments on his fb posts, these people are almost worshiping him now. It's pretty sad. After the crypto fad is done, I see church of Birchology as the next business venture.

    Lots of money to be made there! Although Hills Song is already one of his neighbours.

    If you consider that $800 billion is about the market cap for Amazon, Apple, or Alphabet (Google), it shows how seriously expensive crypto got.

    Yes. But importantly there is little liquidity. So that is not true measure. Low liquidity tends to compound losses or gains.

    Its very cult like and concerning when people start praising a property expert about their crypto currency opinions
