Have we forgotten the amount of profit people made from the prior years of insane price growth? Tell me which stock performed as well as Bitcoin.


> which stock performed as well as Bitcoin

If you want to go for a rodeo, there are litanies of similar success stories in penny stock and angel investing.


This is true but all that it proves is that Bitcoin is incredibly volatile.

It seems like the pro-crypto arguments end up being circular sometimes (not from the same person but the community).

If the market is good, it's a great investment.

If the market is bad, buy the dip!

If it's unstable, remember all thos people who made money?

If it's stable, well it's a currency after all.

There are so many people who view crypto differently there's always someone there to sing it's praises. I'll still have no idea what crypto is supposed to be aside from a vehicle for fraud.

It's anonymous payment!

Great for

- avoiding sanctions

- selling drugs

- receiving blackmail payments

Those are huge markets that are completely untapped by legacy payment processors!

If that doesn't sound like a great investment opportunity!
