Are you…no, I guess you’re serious.

No, you’re wrong. Some people got scammed in cryptocurrency, the same as some people get scammed with their insurance or family members or, literally, everything else.

This does not mean Bitcoin has gone down in value.

Those are very different situations.

Like if you lose your wallet tripping over your own feet, it doesn’t mean that a fiat dollar is worth less.

You just lost your wallet.

No, a higher return results from basic math. If i invest $1 24 months in a reinvesting account before you do, I’ll have 24 more months of compound interest on that dollar than you will. I started earning returns first.

… right. They did not make money on Bitcoin or get scammed by a different cryptocurrency…

We can check with them if they got scammed by a Nigerian prince while we’re at it. If you think you’re making some sort of point.

Maybe we should check if they got scammed because their computer had a bunch of viruses.

Or if they were selling something online and the buyer sent them a confirmation code.

There are lots of things they didn’t do.

Bitcoin? Yes, it is fundamentally decentralized.

If you don’t know something ask questions and learn. You’re wasting so much time arguing against your own assumptions.

nope

Those are several different ideas, so no, you’re wrong.

Money isn’t bad and making money isn’t immoral, which is the fundamental misunderstanding that many of you have. If you don’t like money, okay, but if Sandwich Guy 1 sells more sandwiches than Sandwich Guy 2, he makes more money.

There’s no moral judgment beyond your indignant projection. He just has more dollars in his pocket because he sold more sandwiches.

Investor 1 invests before Investor 2, Investor 1 makes more money.

If you get a 50% head start in a race, you’re probably going to win.

Curious how something so heavily marketed…as modern currency…is almost always only being talked about as an object of investment.

Nothing strange about basic marketing.

yet another speculative scheme for people who are the rich to get richer.

Like the bosses at your job? Yeah, it’s kind of like that.

You don’t have to understand the chemical properties of gold to buy and sell it.

You don’t like investments, fine. That works out well for those who do. Most complain while standing still, some act.

Flail, it’s funny for the “cryptobros”.

Always, actually.

Are they smarter…

Holy crap no, that’s the point.

The baby boomers have more because they had to invest less up front in their generation.

Investors of all kinds have more money because they invested less by investing early. Circumstances change as time passes, and time is always running out.

you and…will never have even a quarter of what…

Speak for yourself, not for others.

You don’t have to be a genius, you have to pay attention to opportunities.

You’re debating your own assumptions rather than directly addressing my comments or clarifying what you don’t understand.

You’re going to find it very easy to argue against things you made up, but that won’t make your presumption relevant.

We’re talking about Bitcoin.

You were stuck on a single cryptocurrency, not me.

There are plenty of reasons for cryptocurrency to gain value.

Yes, cryptocurrency in general.

Great work.

You really do have no idea. Works out for those that do, I guess.

Yes, early investors often make more money than later investors…you nailed it.

“You’re literally 250 years behind the curve set by The Wealth of Nations…”

You’re then if I am, since you’re repeating my point.

As for the rest of your crap, you’re conflating and reducing several comments from several people and misunderstanding mine as a result.

It came from the people who lost, or the people who are still in it…

What are you talking about? You think gold or silver had to be “lost” in order to have value? No, that’s not where value comes from. All of you are speaking like you’ve never heard of an economy.

Cryptocurrency is an expanding currency market.

Just like gold, just like credit, just like stocks and bonds forex and futures.

As the market gets bigger and more people believe/invest/rely on it, the share one owns of a more valuable market gains value.

This 4-year cycle…no reason for things to improve from here.

More gibberish; there are plenty of reasons for crypto currency to continue to gain value.

1. National governments are creating digital cryptocurrencies.

2. Adoption of cryptocurrency is growing constantly.

3. Governments are investing heavily in existing cryptocurrencies.

4. There’s no functional difference, other than more recent and having more capabilities between cryptocurrencies and the “credit” system that everybody accepts as “normal”.

There’s every reason for a successful market to continue being successful while it has adoption, investment, development and use.

Yes, even a new market(as all markets once were).

That’s not what hypocrite means.

Great work. You really dodged that bullet of a whole bunch of money.

No, they enjoyed the return of investing in a new asset class that is growing larger every week, month and year.

Cryptocurrency is a currency and a resource. It’s as much a zero-sum game as gold, stocks, real estate or credit cards, and all those sums are dynamic as he’ll.

That’s not what irony means.

You’re being a tool and making vague unproductive insults. Removal makes sense.
