MicroStrategy just bragged about making $10 billion on Bitcoin! That's after spending a whopping $20 billion on coins. After 4 years of holding, that's only a 50% return, or about 10% annually when adjusted for inflation.

Anyone want to tell the geniuses at MicroStrategy that they could have doubled their money with zero risk by just staking dollars? Is Bitcoin still worth the hype?

They are certainly not seeing the returns for this short time. In long run, it will be very profitable for them.

Yeah, they bought at $10k, but their average cost is way higher now. With Bitcoin likely to dip below $30k during the next crypto winter, and with their bonds coming due soon, MicroStrategy is in a real pickle. They're going to have to liquidate their BTC to pay those bills, and that's going to tank the market even further. They've already done it once, so why not again?
 
Own a minimum of 0.5 btc and forget about it; Most likely it will try to change our lives in the future. That's what my friend said lol
 
It all depends on what happens. A lot of crypto investors are betting on mass adoption. This will skyrocket the prices if entire governments get behind it.

6 months? That's awfully optimistic. I'm betting on a full-blown crypto winter before then. Maybe even a new ice age!

From what I can tell it's related to global money supply / liquidity. If you follow the news they just started lowering rates this September. I'm talking about all countries, not just US or China. So basically I'm counting on the dilution of money, more than value increase in BTC. Even if the BTC value stays constant, it will still rise related to USD or other major currency.

I will start to worry when any major country increases their rates.

Of course, my guess is as good as yours.

You're spot on—BTC's rise often ties more to currency dilution than intrinsic value growth. As global liquidity increases and rates drop, fiat weakens, making BTC relatively stronger even if its actual value remains constant. But, as always, it’s speculation.

You're saying that because interest rates are being lowered, Bitcoin is going to the moon? Well, let's take a trip down memory lane. During the first crypto winter, interest rates were already at rock bottom. And in 2020, when the Fed slashed rates, Bitcoin still crashed by 50%. So, maybe there's more to this whole 'interest rates and Bitcoin' correlation than meets the eye.

It seems like you're putting a lot of weight on interest rates, but there are countless other factors that can influence the price of Bitcoin. Maybe it's time to reconsider your benchmark

Hi. Always looking for confirmation of ups or downs. You say everything right and I agree with you, but there is one point that could still work, I think. If he suddenly shows up.

What's going to push bitcoin to 200k?​

Which interest rates are you talking about? I already said it's a global thing, not just US. Fed is just 1 country.

Of course it's just an idea, not absolute truth. All of you should trade according to what you believe to be the lowest risk.

El Salvador's trying to break free from the IMF, so they're using Bitcoin to get loans on the side. They can't get money from the IMF while they're breaking human rights rules, you know?

So, you're telling me the US is the only country that matters? News to me. Japan's hiking rates, China's doing its own thing, and Australia might follow suit. It's a global economy, buddy.

They're not bragging about losing $30 billion on the exchange rate drop. In general, it is abnormal when the exchange rate falls by 10% and the company falls by almost 40%.

Mike believes a bitcoin reserve will attract money to the US. A former US Treasury Secretary called the idea of a bitcoin reserve insane. Who should we trust more?
 
Bitcoin’s value is volatile, but its appeal lies in its potential for long-term growth, decentralization, and hedge against inflation, despite short-term fluctuations.
