I understand people who are bearish in the span of months but fail to understand those who are bearish for years. Lets face it, being memed as a store of value will take this thing to insane amounts more insane than $20,000 each.

>Offshore money is $20-30 trillion just 1% on BTC will make it $2m a pop

Why the fuck would offshore money place their money in a shitty cryptopoop? Well the faggot in reddit back in 2014 said it nicely

>I think bitcoin would need to mature into a stable asset class comparable to collectible art or yachts before rich people store much of their wealth in it.

Well now Bitcoin is expensive as fuck. It isnt just some poorfags toy anymore.

Can you imagine being so fucking wealthy and not owning a single bitcoin to even discuss with your other rich offshore boysquad? Pretty sure not owning even 1 bitcoin when you are a multi-millionaire is going to be considered as pathetic as not owning at least a few expensive paintings and such or whatever assets these rich fucks use to store their wealth offshore.

Just in case you brainlet bears dont understand, the supply is limited such that all the millionaires and billionaires in the world can't get 1 BTC each. That doesnt even include other rich boybands like the winklevoss twins hoarding a lot of these things for themselves.

Do the rich offshore boys consider alts as the "premium" rich coin? No. Thats why BTC's position is so hard to beat.

Look at all the billionaires betting only on BTC because its the largest cryptocurrency. They want the most expensive one. Not some pleb-tier altcoin. Offshore boys want the expensive things.

Protection? Pretty sure they care more about BTC being recognized forever compared to other coins. Monero? Monero can rest in oblivion with BTC not dying but the other way around cannot happen.That is a form of protection. BTC protects their money's value better than monero's anonymity can.

They want relevance get it? It isnt something poorfags who need to gamble on altcoins can understand. Plus bitcoin's pseudonymity should be enough for them. Just ask some of their people to buy BTC for them instead of fucking using a coinbase account like poorfags do.

Ok imagine you are a rich multi-millionaire who wants to own bitcoins. You are definitely going to buy OTC. You create a bitcoin wallet which is pseudonymous. You meetup with a whale in person and you buy BTC which he sends to your address. The whale knows you bought $10m worth of BTC.

>Monero case
You are a rich multi-millionaire who wants to own monero. You also meet OTC. You buy monero from a whale. The whale knows you bought $10m worth of Monero

Can the whale prove it directly though if your wallet cannot be accessed? Also, the Whale would either need incentive to betray the buyer, or actually be more careless/unlucky than him, then theyd need to fetch the buyer, then theyd need to prove this transaction actually happened, and then theyd need to prove anything regarding what happened the Monero because buying XMR itself is not illegal.
>but this logic ofc can be applied to bitcoin itself, just the part of validating the transaction should be easier

The problem I have with BTC is that >I heard< its transactions can be traced between wallets. This is information that tells you where the money went, how is this not a big problem?

>>9429175
cash can hardly be traced, no? Its very hard to trace it.
the reason conventional banking worked is that people were able to fly in cash to deposit that would not need to be disclosed to foreign governments due to local law, no?

>>9429215
I can see an issue with the Market as a whole, but I cant see one if even just one person gets their shit kicked in on BTC being inferior. I consider these ppl smart enough to go the securest possible way, thats my whole point. Imagine if youd pay a whale you know a premium just for getting XMR, wouldnt that be worth it? I guess thats up to be debated here since im not fully aware how big the implications are that BTC can be traced

>Can the whale prove it directly though if your wallet cannot be accessed?
Oh i dunno genius, maybe he can just point to the wire transfer you just sent him? See thats the whole reason this anonymity meme is bullshit if there is a weak spot. And that weak-spot is the fiat transaction you used to buy crypto.

>The problem I have with BTC is that >I heard< its transactions can be traced between wallets. This is information that tells you where the money went, how is this not a big problem?
So i think i've clarified that that the whale will always know that you have bought a certain amount of crypto right? Then the only problem is anonymity with spending outside of OTC selling. But these people buy crypto not to spend but to hoard. They wont be buying drugs or whatever. The liquidity is just a bonus feature there will hardly ever use just like they never sell their gold (until they go bankrupt).

> I consider these ppl smart enough to go the securest possible way, thats my whole point. Imagine if youd pay a whale you know a premium just for getting XMR, wouldnt that be worth it?

I dont hold either XMR or Sumo, im just interested in the concept of privacy coins. Their weak performance disgusts me so I keep away from them.

However I dont think BTC will keep its spot.

>the weak spot is the fiat transaction
Agree, OTC should somehow be cash or goods, or some other form of favorable agreement, its hard to connect those directly to anything. All you need is a Wallet that is not explicitly known to be yours. Thats a problem with Bitcoin because they could connect the amount of "missing" value to a BTC transaction the whale made roughly in this timeframe to whats now presumed as your wallet. They cant do that with XMR.

>they just hoard it
Alright, I still think XMR is better in that case IF the market was *perfect*
Should you choose to do any kind of transaction XMR becomes infinitely better though, just because noone can prove any kind of transaction even happened without direct access. Again, as far as I know, with BTC this is possible.

I cannot disagree that the market disagrees with XMR being more valueable than BTC, hell look at the "even more superior" Sumokoin. Its nothing. Shit Name too.

And blockchains, much like castles, are unthinking, emotionless, but nonetheless incredible feats of engineering based entirely on fundamental principles. I'm bullish on cryptocurrency alone for that very reason.

You put up a better effort than most BTC maximalists, but really you should have just said "lol bcash" from the start and saved us all the trouble.

>> No.9431653

All the economic incentives are in favor of not letting BTC die, even if you'd have to mine it for a loss for couple of weeks. And even if the death spiral happened you could always just fork it.

Not happening.

What did you expect? My original post was claiming a bullish case for BTC not because of tech but because of it being the new gold 2.0/offshore toy of choice

You have to admit though, bcash has a pretty weak case.

Bcash is undoubtedly one of, if not the most technologically sophisticated cryptocurrency on the market.

I hold BTC for the same reason you do; to leverage "yachtboy" types making moves into the market. However, that is a purely speculative decision completely divorced from the fact that BCH is fundamentally superior in virtually every way, and I'll hold it long after I've dumped my BTC on these offshore bag holders.

BCH is more superior than ETH? You have to be joking. Its literally BTC core with bigger blocks. Thats it.

I see no point hedging with Bitcoin Cash when you are already hedging with ETH.

Bitcoin is absolute crap technologicaly speaking, and will be absolete in a few years/months if it fails to adapt (and it most likely will).
Ethereum will flip it this year regardless of what Bitcoin does. From there it's all downhill.

We'll see 1ml+ Bitcoin prices quicker than people realize. The consensus has changed. People want these and they don't even know why. Once they realize how scarce and limited they are, the race is on. Bitcoin will be one of the few to succeed. The purge is coming.

holy fuck that is the most ignorant statement I've ever seen in crypto.

It's just a clone of bcore with bigger blocks.

You will undoubtably miss on the next crypto bullrun unless you educate yourself about crypto my dude.

Here we go again. How will an alt flip BTC when all the fucking bots in exchanges panic sell their alts whenever BTC makes a move? Fundamentals dont mean shit to a store of value (at least that is what it is believed to be).

>Ethereum will flip it this year regardless of what Bitcoin does. From there it's all downhill.
Lmao.... like a clockwork. Bitcoin whales dropping BTC's price should be enough to stop any flippening whatsoever. BTC dropping in price rapidly kills every altcoin pump. Ever notice that everytime ETH comes close to a flippening BTC starts dumping incredibly hard tanking the ETH/BTC ratio too?

That was true in June 2017 and was true in January 2018.

Yes, I said "one of". I am hedging with BCH and ETH because they both have strong development teams with virtually unlimited funding. I am fascinated by Vitalik's scaling solutions and smart contracts in general, but it lacks the privacy features which I think are essential and are more likely to manifest on BCH, i.e. cash shuffle; something yachtboys would take a keen interest in, esp third worlders who want to hide funds from oppressive governments. It's also not certain if ETH can scale whereas BCH undoubedly can. So I hold both since they are, in effect, the two princes.

Like i said in my other replies to the Monero fag, i dont yacht boys who trade OTC all the time and only hold would care about anonymity that much. They hoard thats it.

Third worlders? lol you think they have enough rocket fuel for BCH or whatever, its like you dont want to be rich. Bitcoin was unattractive to rich people and institutions like Goldman Sachs when it was a currency meant for the POOOOOOOOOR hahahahah now that it is expensive as fuck a piece, expensive transaction fees, and advertised as gold 2.0 it suddenly became attractive to them as a financial product.

Plus hoarding is a greater rocket fuel than something spent as a currency which is what Bitcoin Cash is aiming to do.

There are several development teams working on BCH, which you can independently verify by visiting their github repos; there are certainly more than "1 or 2".

As for your comment on missing the next bullrun, you're clearly talking to yourself, since you are apparently not even remotely educated on the subject of cryptocurrency.

>zsnarks

Yes, I am bullish on that as well and I hope they can be successfully implemented by ETH or BCH. I also have Zcoin as a hedge for that. BTC certainly will never have zk-snarks.

And I was referring to rich third worlders, not poor.

lol bcash is a joke, stay poor brainlet. the only supporters of bcash are roger ver and reddit fags who dont understand the tech.

scaling by bigger blocks simply does not work. only a retard wouldn't understand that. You can't just keep making bigger and bigger harddrives and faster and faster computers.

Dont get me wrong i hate Bitcoin Cash but in their defense storage is pretty cheap and hardly anyone runs a full node nowadays unless you are mining Bitcoin or are a developer for something related to Bitcoin.

Why do you have so many shitcoins? I mean i bought EOS at $5 held until $23 then didnt sell then finally sold at $16 but i only did so because i believed they were going to wash trade it with their warchest.

90% of my portfolio is BTC/ETH/BCH, but I have countless random minor holdings that I've collected over the years. I like everything zk-snarks related as it's cutting edge. I also was mining ZenCash at one point.

Bitcoin isn't even trying to complete technically. It's the safest and most prestigious crypto i.e. the store of value.
ETH is completely different, it tries to move fast and keeps making huge changes which are inherently risky. At the end of the day, store of value is much more valuable than general purpose computing (which is also easily disrupted by newer / better platforms, unlike SOV that relies more on perceptions than technology)
