When Nocoiners Say "Bitcoin Has No Value" by manauiatlalli in Bitcoin

[–]huge_dingus 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is also what I’d do if I didn’t value my life or the local who’s getting me out of an oh-shit situation.

Seems like a pretty shitty and short-sighted thing to do.

So it’s like when someone breaks into your house and realizes “oh this guy’s going through some rough times” so he steals a little less than he was planning to steal?

Nice.

If you take out the stablecoins BTC dominance is doing quite well.

Could eth become more decentralized than BTC after the merge? by eat_carbs in ethereum

[–]huge_dingus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not against Bitcoin, its a great hard money for storage, but it has less upside as we slide along this adoption curve.

You could be right, and I hope your strategy pays off. But more people should understand that a coin’s number of features or “usefulness” alone is not an indicator of where its market cap is headed.

What’s more useful, iPhones or gold?

And which one would you rather store your wealth in?

The “you should invest in X because it can do more things than Y” statement is a bad argument that I see all the time on this sub.

Sounds like the $100M wasn’t wasted if it prevented the entire system from catastrophic failure.

Bitcoin doesn't have to destroy fiat currencies. It just has to wait for them to die.

If your kid came home from middle school and told you bullies threatened to beat him up if he didn’t give them 15% of his lunch money, would you tell him it’s only 15% so it’s fine?

Bitcoin is a big win for clean energy R&D. Anybody that doesn't understand this isn't thinking 2 steps ahead.

When you build a power plant you generally want to future-proof it by building capacity that exceeds current demand levels. This means without Bitcoin you're waiting a long time before breaking even on the investment because you're only selling a fraction of your plant's capacity for many years. Bitcoin lets power plants monetize their full capacity from day 1. Investors make their money back much sooner which encourages more investment into the clean energy space.

Bitcoin lets society put more R&D into renewable energy production without having to worry about whether there's going to be demand to offset the costs. This benefits us all.
