Bitcoin is going down.crypto has been wildly unstable. They need to make it uneffected by inflation or interest and then it's a winner


Unstable how? It has a higher "uptime" than any other network, and payment system in the world which makes it the most reliable and stable currency in the world, without a doubt.

If you mean the price, then yes I agree, it's highly volatile especially paired with a constantly devalued and inflated US dollar.

Bitcoin is deflationary. It is unaffected by inflation because it simply doesn't exist in the bitcoin network. That is an outside influence that I Ly affects the devaluation of the Shitty USD it's paired with. They need to fix the USD, but they won't.

I don't understand what you mean by "interest" so you'll have to clarify that for me. Thanks for the response man.

Haha yeah it's been a long journey. I started a family, another business, transitioned to work in crypto full time and figured I'd step back in and check up on everyone here.

Bitcoin is far from frictionless lol

For all but the largest purchases it has far more friction than traditional banking


You'll wish you had some when your government gives emergency powers to the banks to freeze your assets whenever you disagree politically as we have seen in Canada recently and as I predict will happen in the USA with the peoples convoy.

Are you aware of the worldwide trucker protests taking shape right now?

They can't freeze btc though. That's where it's friction less, but I understand your point of course, I'm not arguing against it, just saying when push comes to shove, btc stands alone and can not be stopped by any intermediary, no matter how much money and resources they throw at stopping btc, they will never succeed in shutting btc down.

You'll always be able to hit send and trust it'll get to the destination.

Welcome back.

Biden just passed an EO on cryptos. The government will probably start regulating it now that it is becoming a threat.

If Janet Yellen likes the EO, then you know it’s bad.

Most exchanges are so cucked I wouldn't put it past them, but China is not requiring vaccination without consent. There's Still freedom there where it counts.

Yea I was talking about the price, which is directly tied to emotional whims of the public or big influencers like Musk with a drop of a tweet can raise or tank your life savings.
The dollar is slowly going down due to inflation but it's stable enough to adjust.

When I was talking about interest I was referring that bitcoin is still subject to borrow and lending interest like the dollar. What happens when you borrow 10 bitcoin and have to pay 11?

They have mass surveillance and corrupt government that if you are speaking out in any way that displeases the egos of the leaders they will put you in re-education facility. Free speech or freedom of the press or access to information is controlled and is restrictive.
If China decides it wants to vaccinate there is not much you can do.
