I thought of all the places on the internet, the people on BHW would understand the "value" that Bitcoin and some other crypto currencies have.
I mean, it's not rocket science, really.
You've come to this forum because you wanted to learn things that you can't learn by looking in the top 5 results on Google.
Maybe you've come here to learn some "black tactics" on how to make money online. Who knows, maybe you even come here to learn how to make money in grey zones or even black zones. In one way or the other, you're probably here because you wanted to play by other rules. Because you didn't like the current system and wanted a way out, an alternative way. Either by beating the system or by completely reinventing it.
But you can't see the value of Bitcoin? Really? It amazes me. Really does.
Let's not talk about Bitcoin price for a while, but let's talk about why the hell it exists. Bitcoin is an alternative currency in an alternative financial system. It's money that no one else can put your hands on, but you. The government has no say in Bitcoin. They can't freeze your funds. They can't inflate it by printing more dollar bills. They can't tax it if you want to transport all of it to another country. It gives people SO MUCH POWER that is mind blowing. But maybe you're just too used in just accepting what the government imposes to you that an alternative currency makes no sense in your mind?
"Oh man, I really love myself some dollar bills. Totally not manipulated. Super backed by gold-- I mean, by nothing. But hey, the federal reserve says it's great."
Top kek, mate.
And please, don't come here talking about centralized coins with one point of failure. Yeah, Ethereum is cool but 1) it doesn't aim to become money and 2) Vitalik has too much power and too much say on it. If somehow Ethereum becomes a threat to the power structure of the world he will be bent. I don't even understand why people here try to compare Bitcoin with Ethereum (in another way that is not price related).
