I invested heavily in BTC,Eth,LTC. Am down more than 50%. This has been the worst investment of my life. Just wondering do y'all believe BTC would come back again with a boom?

      And I suppose a blackout, a bank shutdown, or a credit card processor system shutdown doesn’t have any impact either.

    Absolutely not!
    What is bitcoin? Actually nothing, it’s just fictional value, which went up because everyone wanted to enjoy the ride. It’s a dead horse now

  • I believe. People thought the same in 2014. It's a cycle. There will be another pump in the future. Couple years. Same shit repeats

    • Isu: I'm sorry you don't see value in bitcoin. Ability for government not to freeze funds. Ability to send money to whoever without question from banks. Bitcoin functionality has not changed since it was created. It's only getting more and more awareness now. Sure, the 2017 pump was crazy and needed to correct. But bitcoin value will always remain. Tulip? Wtf can I do with a tulip? I can't easily send it to whoever around the world. Don't compare apple with oranges

      See below for my much lengthier discussion of the nature of currency. The ability to trade is actually at most a secondary objective of the construct.

    Governments aren’t very happy to embrace untraceable virtual money. That’s why countries are banning it. Maybe you can’t stop it, it’s inevitable and all that, but here’s what happened.

    Why did it boom? - because it became super trendy. When my barber starts telling me to get into bitcoin, it’s time to get out
    When will it boom again? - it won’t boom due to trending. That ship has sailed. Now the only way it’ll go up is if it becomes more valuable. Therefore bitcoin has to become accepted everywhere. Buy lunch; bitcoin. Buy clothes, bitcoin. Takes cab, bitcoin.

    Again, I don’t see the past repeating. If anything it’ll be a very slow climb if at all, and more likely decline again

      Trickle back to the main source? No. My point was tumblers. Example, police trace a 50 bitcoin deposit that’s of big interest. They work backwards a couple steps from a couple wallets to the tumbler. They’ve traced the 50 bitcoins from 200 smaller deposits that were randomized. That’s ok, they worked from the destination back to this source. Only problem is the inputs to the tumbler are the same. Hundreds of thousands of randomized small deposits. No 50 bitcoin in 50 bitcoin out. The tumbler has no lasting records that say these 250 incoming randomized bitcoins deposits worth 50BC = these 200 outgoing randomized withdrawals. Instead they have thousands of incoming deposits as possible deposits. It’s very unlikely anyone will be able to continue the trail through the tumbler unless they already had a suspect and originating wallet.
