I'm a normie. no intrinsic value doesn't mean it's worthless; worth is determined by demand. Having no intrinsic value, or no fundamentals, means there is no floor to the value.
If apple's next phone bombs completely, it's still sitting on billions in liquid cash and patents. People will still speculate on it's future value since it has the money to try building and selling a few more generations of phones.
If fucking bitcoin platinum comes out two years down the line, and if you don't have your finger on the pulse you can potentially lose 100% of your investment if everybody adopts it before you can flip.

Best explanation is that it's a store of value. Give them the example of Venezuela and how their currency was rapidly declining, so buying BTC was a smart move for many to stabilize or even increase their wealth.

I don't think Bitcoin has any other use besides that. It's dead for sending money.

So sick of hearing every smug analyst mention "Tulip Mania" in their "Bitcoin is dead" proclamations.

bitcoin atleast; a limited supply currency that cant be printed into oblivion like all fiat. It uses cryptography to secure funds from being duplicated, stolen. Cryptos are MINED similar to Precious Metals, you cant just make them from nothing. So many people get confused with the 21 mil supply, but if it was 1sat = 1$ the supply would be more like 21mill X 1mill, I think. If your arguing with someone echoing the 'bitbubble' piece though youve already lost

Crypto is essentially an elaborate Keynesian beauty contest if you want to bring game theory into it. doesn't help that it's value is 99% speculation.
>>4365679
this is a vast oversimplification, but say I offer you a bet: I flip a coin and you win $2 if it's heads, the value of that bet is $1. this is generally how speculation on normal markets works. eg. 50% chance a new drug will make it past the FDA and overtake some market sector or whatever.
in crypto there is no coin flip, you're buying at $1000 because you think someone else will buy at $2000 who in turn thinks someone else will buy at $4000 and so on.

guess I mean to say there isn't a bookie calling the odds; there isn't any objective measure to say if there's 10% or 90% chance that bit coin will moon.
crypto is more like playing at the poker table than the roulette table in that your winnings come from how you fare against others instead of environmental factors.

"In certain kinds of writing, particularly in art criticism and literary criticism, it is normal to come across long passages which are almost completely lacking in meaning. Words like romantic, plastic, values, human, dead, sentimental, natural, vitality, as used in art criticism, are strictly meaningless, in the sense that they not only do not point to any discoverable object, but are hardly ever expected to do so by the reader. When one critic writes, "The outstanding feature of Mr. X's work is its living quality", while another writes, "The immediately striking thing about Mr. X's work is its peculiar deadness", the reader accepts this as a simple difference opinion. If words like black and white were involved, instead of the jargon words dead and living, he would see at once that language was being used in an improper way."

>>To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Rick’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick’s existential catchphrase “Wubba Lubba Dub Dub,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them
