    I think the ultimate low will be between $2-4k, and that it'll take another 12-18 months to get there. But it'll consolidate and prepare for another takeoff, next time up to $50k or so.

    All the money that exists cannot buy Earth, and the evidence is that we destroy our habitat as a result, thinking that we can just seize and pillage as we see fit. If crowds endorse the pursuit of wealth at their own level, they cannot prevent multinationals from doing exactly the same. The “dystopian endless growth paradigm” is going to end with a bang but will open the door to a premise endorsing that Earth is the only wealth we truly have while journeying through life.

    Re: The Bitcoin Tracking Thread

    The meritocrats have comprehended the nature of reality since the dawn of times (and sorry it was not discovered by the bronze age populations but way before them), and that to interfere with people's unpredictable perceptions, money is the best tool ever to herd and control behaviors. From there, it is easy to conceive that money was always meant to enslave a clueless majority.

    Re: The Bitcoin Tracking Thread

    BTC like all cryptocurrencies is a token, an abstract token representing another abstraction, digital currency. It has utility for it's portability. But anyone who thinks it is private wealth is fooling himself. Blockchain guarantees integrity and it also guarantees an audit trail. Cyrptocurrency has zero intrinsic value. Its currency value represents pure speculation. Also, while the number of BTC is limited by an algorithm, there is no limit to how many cryptocurrencies can be created (i.e. BTC-blue BTC-yellow BTC-green etc). IMHO, the cryptocurrency is a psyop designed to provide an unlimited liquidity dry-well and a killing field for harvesting speculators. I don't own cryptocurrency because I don't speculate. And I don't own stocks and bonds because all markets are captive to the manipulations of central bankers, large institutions and computer trading programs. I save my wealth in physical metal because I can hold it in my hand, it is fungible, convertable and it's fundamentals protect my wealth from confiscation through inflation and devaluation and bank bail-ins. I don't begrudge those who make money in cryptocurrency or profit from it's portability. But understand that you are speculating with a virtual token that can vanish in a nanoseconds. I don't need the stress and worry and readily forgo the potential profits [and losses].

    the usual scenario now... that is it, they got what ((they)) wanted, fear and perceptions are in charge now... as it usually is the case with any currencies... welcome to reality

    That is why we need a world without money, it is impossible to protect one self, unless one is part of the top 1%, because they are the ones deciding of what goes boom and bust

    Perhaps caution and suspicion are advisable when a (((financial advisor))) suddenly recommends cryptocurrency as investment. To wit: there is an enormous kosher fly in the crypto ointment - income taxes. Fast forward to 30:40 in the video wherein Schiff shares a true story involving a crypto investor that it behooves one to hear:

    Schiff is one of the most outspoken Anti Crytpo voices out there so. Yet, he just can't help but not talk about it.
    This (customized) saying comes to mind when I think of Schiff and crypto together


    "First he ignored it, then he laughed it, now he ridicules it, then it will win."

    This "kid" (his example) might be able to get back into crypto and make all the "owed" taxes back in a month, but he never mentioned that possibility but only focused on how LONG he would have to work a TRADITIONAL "job" to pay it back.
    He said Bitcoin is worth less than it was a year ago but it's worth WAY more than 2, 3, 4, etc years ago but in typical Peter Schiff fashion he conveniently forgot to mention this and only keeps you focused on the negatives instead of the myriad of positives.
