>People crashed the price of everything, over nothing. For no reason at all. Nothing was banned, hacked or lost.

It's just people being stupid.

Nothing has fundamentally changed with any of the good projects, and yet sellers are more or less making the bet that crypto is 100% finished by selling this low. What kind of moron suddenly decides crypto is finished without any reason?

Right now the price of one BTC in only about 1,500 dollars less than where it took off from with nearly no resistance over a month ago in Dec

What gives any of this shit a particular "value?"

You can believee that crypto has a bright future while also believing that 1 ETH should not be selling for $1,400, or $500, or even $10.

Until there is some way of establishing value for these coins, based on ACTUAL USE and not rampant speculation, then no price is off the table as being "too low."

You all keep harping on this "HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?"thing, when you're in a market that has NO FUNDAMENTALS other than "the price that someone else is willing to pay."

You're getting exactly the market that you deserve.

Let me tell you a story of how UNUSELESS BTC is.
Be me getting an investors Visa for me and my wife in Ecuador. Cost $70,000
Transfer the money from the US for $35 to a Bank in Ecuador. get my investor visa.
Fast forward 4 years. I wan to leave Ecuador and want to renounce my Investors Visa.
I have to hire a Lawyer from an official list of 5 in the Entire country. I have a job waiting for me in another country. i do all the paper work and the Lawyer informs me that it will take 3 months and I HAVE to give them power of attorney. I call 5 other lawyers and fly to Quito and goto the American Consulate. She is correct. I have to give her power of Attorny over $70,000 to get the money out of the National Bank of Ecuador.

3 months later the money is transfered into My account in Ecuador. I have to fly from Germany to Ecuador to transfer the money to the US. The entire time I had to fill oput maybe 16 pieces of paper work adn get them notorized, certified and apostilled at the Ecuadorian Consulate in Bonn.

I am in the SAME situation in Mexico right now. I have $50k in a Bank in Mexico. I have to fly there to get it and fill out tons of paper work for the US IRS and Homeland Security and the Mexican Adwana..

no. Because not everything is a bubble or greater fool theory,and scarcity exists. Lets say there are two types of people that buy houses, investors and home owners. If home owners are willing to pay $500,000 for a house in the long run it is worth $500,000 however as the limited amount of space to develop lowers and development lags behind growth in people wanting to buy homes. This of course increases price over time. Queue investors.They see this and buy houses they don't care about to make money. Well here's the catch, even if there wasn't enough force to drive the price up investors give it a pump when they buy in. Then other investors see tjis and inticipate continued growth buying it. Now home owners are more and more priced out of the market as investors trade the house for $600k, $700k, $800k! it's going up up and up. Until the trail of investors runs dry. Now they have to sell it to someone actually interested in using it. Which is for $500k. that is greater fool theory. when houses trade sideways at $500k or naturally slide up. Housing is not a ponzi it just got turned into an incidental one for this example. But thats a very infrequent market occurance and not buying a home is stupid.

BTC will recover when people interested in it as a user outnumber people interested in it to buy lambos. It's important to realize where things grt value before screaming "EVERYTHING IS A PONZI" Stocks derived their value from dividends or potential of them. So they are not a ponzi, but if a stock is traditional way above the value for foreseeable payoffs be weary.

it will be no different than a credit card. the money doesn't transfer with a credit card instantly either, it is only the promise of it. funds from a credit card transaction can take up to THIRTY DAYS. 15 minutes for a bitcoin transaction is lightning fast comparatively

Highest volume coin across the board was/is TRX, a flawed whitepaper filled with pipe dreams and empty promises, not backed by any working code.

That should give you a hint towards the mindset of the average crypto investor.
