What’s the need for alt coins?

1. No you don't.
2. Now you are getting it.
3. They have been, right from the beginning. LTC is 12 years old (and better than BTC)
4. There is no ONE decentralized currency and there shouldn't be just one. After all, this is capitalism where competition is encouraged.

With competition there should be better products (BCH, BSV, LTC, all better than BTC) and cheaper prices. >>>> in the long term there should be no price increase, except for hype.
Number 1 is a little condescending. Care to enlighten us?
 
I agree with you that it's sucker bait but I'm starting to think that there's a lot more suckers who will get pulled in before this implodes.....I've been a doubter the whole time. It's a religious movement

With the events coming up like the halving and BlackRocks ETF approval I want to be exposed to it. I'm currently converting some of my portfolio to BTC even though I think it's a gigantic decentralized ponzi scheme. My rough plan is to have 5% of my portfolio in BTC by the end of the month and stop there. If it tanks, I'll survive. If it goes to the moon like all the fanatics say it will.....I will convert it back to other assets when it grows to more than 25% of my portfolio. So, a 5x return. I know I know; I'm talking about a 5x return like it's nothing and even likely, but have you looked at the past performance of this stuff? Larry Fink will soon be telling people to buy this stuff. Jurrian Timmer just came out of the closet as a bitcoin bull and will likely buy into Finks ETF when its available. Every monkey on TV and YouTube is talking about it as if it's a REAL ASSET whether they are a bullish or bearish. I believe that people are sheep and do what they are told, and right now they're being told to by this crap. Yes I am a sheep and could get sheered but I am scheming to skedaddle when the opportunity arises!

Cognitive dissonance

You have been brainwashed by Traditional Finance and the herd mentality into believing that Bitcoin is very risky, simply because it has gone up so much or that it is very volatile

Have you actually calculated the numbers? Sharpe ratio, risk-adjusted returns, and all that TradFi KPI metrics?

Some have and they are available on the internet

Don't miss the once-in-a-species opportunity for you and your family because you were a fucking pussy to have conviction

Fuck 5% allocation, fuck the re-allocation

Bitcoin is the exit out of the fiat debt-based slave-monetary system. Bitcoin will demonetize all your other assets. They will all go to 0 against Bitcoin

Holy s**t! LMAO!

how much of the stuff did you buy for 60k+ in 2021?

Its funny when you start talking about Sharpe ratio and metrics. The only driving force behind this stuff is the belief that everyone wants to fight the system. Its comical to watch a bunch of kids preaching TA because there is zero fundamental metrics to analyze. Also zero "need" for BTC, its just a fantastic dream that you are fighting the system and getting rich doing it. It's like signing up to be a freedom fighter because it pays well! There are no fundamental factors for BTC. No earnings report, no supply/demand numbers, nothing to make a price increase justifiable other than mania. That said, I am willing to risk 5% of my current portfolio that it just may materialize because of mass hysteria. I'm starting to go nuts myself.

:D

Most of my family's life savings and net worth are invested in Bitcoin, but paid lower than 60k

The more you understand Bitcoin the higher the allocation

If you ever get there, after 1000+ hours of studying everything about Bitcoin

, then you will realize all of your assets denominated in the ponzi fiat currency debt-based monetary system designed to be debased (devalued) by the (world's) central bank are very risky

and Bitcoin is your exit out of that and the asset that will save you from the fiat-Matrix

I’m a cynic ( I try to be). If BTC actually displaces the dollar I’m confident that the same people will somehow be in control of it. If I believed that BTC was really going to disrupt the system like every BTC bull wants you to believe, I would be more concerned with having a clear deed on some farmland, plenty of seed, and plenty of bullets. The technology is great and will definitely solve some problems but the people in control will make sure they are still in control when this is over. It’s my job to use their rules to my advantage. Right now that means maintaining my futures market performance, making my monthly 401k contributions, and shifting a small percentage of my portfolio to a high risk “asset” that has a fantastic risk/reward ratio.

This is not 2013 when crypto was new. There are plenty info pro and con available and an average 5th grader can decide for himself, not to mention the crypto history of the last 10 years. Or the Salvador experience. Or every Wednesday when another brokerage goes down. Or the moving goal post, Or the inanity of NFTs.

By now there should be no doubt about crypto.

I can’t tell if you’re pro or con

Actually, most Bitcoiners do not want the btc to replace the $ as it would make the USG as a big enemy and would most likely ban btc in all forms of usage and ownership

Bitcoiners are perfectly happy to demonetize the US $ and all global fiat currencies, as well as all of your assets, stocks, bonds, real estate, art, etcetera

the fact that sometimes assets get overvalued doesn’t make market cap mean nothing

No it doesn't, but what it does show is that you can't assume that the market cap is necessarily anywhere close to the price that was paid in to get ownership of that asset.

To quote from earlier in this thread "A quick google search tells me that currently 0.11% of the world’s money supply has been converted to BTC. "

It might theoretically be valid to take a market cap an say that's what it might cost to buy it all up, but it's certainly not accurate to take a market cap and assume that's what was paid.
