That story doesnt make sense.

If it shoots up in value its because a tonne of people are buying it, the more valuable your coin is, the easier it is to sell.

If no one was buying it, it wouldn't be worth 40K.

>the price skyrocketed
The "price" is determined by the most expensive bid over the total allotment of coins for which you intend to sell. So if the price actually skyrocketed, then that means someone is willing to buy it for that much. That's what "the price went up" actually fucking means. If you hold, say, 1000 of a coin but only 100 are in bid offers, then the price for your holdings is only the most you could get by selling those 100.

Point is if the price went up, that means people will buy it. That's what it fucking means. If people aren't buying it, then in reality the price went to 0.

So your fear is that the price will plummet to 0. Ok that's a reasonable fear.

No there is no guarantee it won't do that. That's what fucking "risk" means. You are taking on risk in exchange for profit that's what fucking investing is. We can't get you risk-free profits you dumbass that's arbitrage and a whole different ballgame.

but why would anyone wish to buy a coin that isn't widely adopted? btc makes sense cus some stores will now accept it for purchasing items, but a lot of altcoins are not accepted as such. So why would someone trade btc for memecoin(tm)?

listen you idiot, in order for the price of an alt coin to go up, it means people are already buying and selling it at that price

it doesn't matter what real world applications it possesses or if it possess none at all.

if it has a high price or has gone up in price it means you can exchange it for bitcoin, and bitcoin can always be used to exchange for dollars / money

an Altcoin that has no use, with no one buying or selling it, can't be worth 40,000$ or any other magical number, your imaginary scenario is totally idiotic

yes, a mythical scenario in which someone with btc doens't trade it for a useless altcoin, what a crazy scenario, imagine how out of this world one must be to not waste btc on an altcoin, mythical beyond words....

>> No.2273434

What if the dollar was worth nothing? What if the only currency in the future that people want is bitcoins because those are a lot cheaper to use and convenient?
Then cashing out to fiat wouldn't make sense because you would be paying your rent in ether, buying groceries with XBY and investing in bitcoin for 9% annual return.

The scenario doesn't make any fucking sense. This is how it would turn out in reality:
>Anon is trading on X exchange(Polo, Bit etc)

Doesn't it imply it's not worth 40k? It's only worth something as long as there's a buyer, assuming your scenario which is pretty much impossible to happen in a relatively short timeframe coin's price could fell to, say, 4 dollars.
