Tulip mania only lasted three years, so if BTC was anything like that, it would have rocketed upwards, and then collapsed and stayed that way about 9 years ago. Well considering that Bitcoin has gone from zero to $27,000 over the span of 13 years, then yeah, I'd definitely say you're missing...

It's the same dynamic that determines the price of a stock or pretty much anything else: supply and demand. If there's less BTC than there is demand for it, then the price goes up. If there's more BTC floating around than buyers for it, then the price goes down. I'm not exactly sure why you're...

I'm sorry you feel that way but it just couldn't be further from the truth. My family has a 70-acre citrus farm and let me tell you what the value of 500 boxes of Navel oranges is worth with no ability to immediately ship them to the processing plants for juicing. ZERO.

Wow, that's crazy. The problem, at least from what I've seen, is that people often choke when they are shit-faced drunk and their friends are drunk. A few months ago, about 10 of us got a party bus and went to EDC in Orlando. Everything was fine at the festival, but on the way home, we stopped...

Really? You need to think this through more. If you wanted to buy a tanker truck of orange juice to be delivered next week, but there were no tanker trucks or other delivery options to ship it to you (or anyone else), then the commodity itself would spoil and be worthless. Your problem is...

Miners will still earn transaction fees after all BTC has been mined, but considering that the last Bitcoin won't be mined until the year 2140, you'll be dead and gone before that even happens.

BTC is a digital asset. I wonder why you wouldn't think the thousands and thousands of people running machines to mine BTC, validate transactions, and secure the network aren't backing it. If it weren't for their ongoing efforts there wouldn't be any BTC for anyone to buy.

Huh? The price of one BTC has gone from zero to $25,000.00 over the past decade, so there's definitely no shortage of offers for it.

The more you can both agree on outside of the legal system, the better. You mentioned before that she wants to get back to Japan, so I would frame it up to her like this: "The more we can agree on, the faster you'll get back to Japan. Otherwise, this could take years in the courts, and most of...

If you consider the most powerful computer network on this planet working around the clock to ensure the integrity and security of BTC transactions to be "nothing", then sure, it's backed by "nothing".

No, when banks fail, it calls into question the stability of the traditional banking system in the minds of deposit holders, so they take their money out of the banks and then put it into BTC so they can self-custody their wealth.

I'd love to know how you arrived at that conclusion. Please explain.

If you pretend that the video was shot recently for the sake of evaluating Ray's physique in light of current standards and protocols, he looks like an average steroid user you'd see in any gym in this country.

You literally just called him a name in the first sentence.

You would never say that unless you wanted to be banned.

Enough of the name-calling and trolling each other. It's getting old and you guys need to figure out a truce real quick. Consider this the one and only warning.

"The rehabilitation letter issued by Mt Gox stated that the trustee has decided to change the deadline for the payout to April 6, 2023. It mentioned that the court has granted the Trustees to postpone the repayment deadline."...

I logged in to Mt. Gox the other day to see what my balance was in case I forgot to transfer some coins out from a decade ago, but unfortunately my total balance of remaining BTC on the platform was about $12.81 worth. :D

Please explain how your post has anything whatsoever to do with the topic of this thread.

For many years I used a 17" MacBook Pro and I loved that thing. I was so bummed out when they discontinued it.
