      okay, a little thread on cryptomarkets and what I think is going on:

      first, on Bitcoin's alleged "bubble": there aren't currency bubbles. it simply makes no sense. a currency "bubble" is another currency's hyperinflation.

      of course, Bitcoin's price denominated in USD has "gone parabolic" and might vary wildly.

      but these "boom and bust" cycles are unlikely to be similar to previous economic bubbles, simply because Bitcoin has a real function irrespective of demand: it's a really good currency.

      people keep saying this, but what does Bitcoin lose in relation to gold? or BCH in relation to the USD?

      but bitcoin is too volatile at present to make something like that sensible to build/use outside of people invested purely in the idea of the thing

      also gold has intrinsic value, which serves as a price floor. bitcoin can fall to zero, gold can't (this has a buoying effect much stronger than its actual practical value)

          well, the Core implementation has long processing times and high fees, but BCH doesn't. it's a contingent feature depending on design choices made by devs.

          as to uses besides its role as currency: the blockchain can be used as a coordination tool, and the network can be used to safely store information.

          "intrinsic value" is a red herring IMO. If monetary demand for gold disappeared, it'd trade at $5/oz for centuries after. Industrial use dwarfed by investment.

          Theoretically, the price of anything could drop to zero. A golden meteor could land softly in the ocean. What we’re really dealing with are likelihoods of that happening. I don’t know how you ascertain the likelihood of Bitcoin dropping to zero.

          "network effects" is another name for "liquidity". of course any currency is dependent on that to function.

          I think the probability of that happening is very similar to the probability of alchemical transformation of mercury into gold.
