People in 3rd world countries are using it to buy and sell water and food.

Americans dont use it for anything because we're spoiled bitches with ATMs on every corner so we dont need it.

But the world NEEDS it and uses crypto for all the things you take for granted in developed nations.

THIS is why its value is 60k and the average American fat ass is like "whAt DoEs BiTcOin EvEN Do!? ?!//.1"
Yeah I get the philosophy behind it but its all potential uses at this point because people aren't actually using to buy food and water in Sudan or wherever. And if they were than how the hell would you price anything with the volatility being all over the place? I mean I bitch about housing prices on here all the time cause they went up 17% or whatever but Castle pointed out that its gone up 200%+ in the last 3 months.

Bitcoin will never be anything more than a store of value. Crypto has moved so far past Bitcoin that it's akin to boomer gold now. The real value in crypto lies in the new tech which is to web 3 that TCP/IP was to web 1

Hehe, Beavis, this guy doesn't know the value offered by Bitcoin, hehe.

Bitcoin is superior money. Imagine gold, but purely digital and 100% verifiable the circulating amount, and 100% unforgeable, and limited in supply regardless of what the govmint wants to do. 100% permissionless, no one can stop you from sending or receiving money.

If you don't get this, read up on it more. If not, you'll miss it. That's okay. But when you're kicking yourself in 5 years or got your head in the sand still in 10.. you'll remember, Castle told you so <3

"But you can melt it down and make jewelry, man!" Dang, got me there... That's predominantly why average people buy gold in various forms and financial instruments, because they can make gold jewelry with it.
I'm aware of what Bitcoin is but I recommend getting up to speed on the newer tech out there. If you're really looking to make money and actually believe that crypto represents a superior financial instrument, find the newer tech out there that still has a fraction of BTC's current market cap but actually will end up being utilized.

Bitcoin is used successfully to pay for things. Dude wants 50,000 dollars for some illegal items, his customer gives him 50,000 dollars of bit coins. Dude sells 50,000 of bitcoins and has clean cash. Mission accomplished.

If it helps, the price of my ammo has almost matched bitcoin in last few years so thats nice. LOL

Monero is faster than bitcoin and is actually untraceable. The only retards that still use bitcoin to pay for illegal shit end up getting served no-knock warrants

Things are different out there then they are here by a long shot, you're not thinking about market volatility when you're spending 10 cents a day.

It's not financially viable for VISA or traditional banking to bring currency and the benefits that provides to these areas for that price point, but it IS financially viable for someone there to setup a bitcoin exchange there without requiring the infrastructure VISA would require to do that.

Now a goatherder, has not only a bank account, but investments and savings.

There are 10s of thousands of stable companies offering these services all over the world, giving BC huge gains each time they open up. And there's room for 10s of millions more!

It's infinitely valuable to the poor and when we realize how much better it is actively making the world its going to hit 100k a coin no problem.

National governments wish to own your identity and therefore your financial and banking information and access.

I don't think that these things will be allowed to thrive. Just my guess.

well, dont be too hasty.

The NSA invented SHA256 (the algorithm that allows all this) and nobody knows who satashi nakamorwhatever his name is who invented bitcoin, and because each payment is recorded in a permanent fixed ledger allowing every purchase to be traced, there is a part of me that thinks the government made it so they wouldn't need a bill to see if you had more than 600$ in your bank account.

I saw this video of an incredible douche bag who gets a few pennies every time you use a VISA to pay a medical bill.

That alone is enough for me to ask if they take bitcoin now.
