It’s around 100k USD apiece, +875% in the last 5y, +340% over last 2y, +130% over last 1y… I’d also qualify this as “not quite crashed yet”

I dont know what the future hodls but it’s looking pretty good for bitcoin so far



That is not a currency in the same manner that gold isn't a currency or barrels of oil isn't either. Or in other words, you don't use for buying a coffee or grocery.

Sure that you can always point some exotic and rare exceptions to prove differently but even yourself don't use it on normal daily financial operations, and no, Lightning isn't even bitcoin so please don't argue with that.

There are more things backing up the value rise for that old tech. Just please diversify into other areas so you don't come out empty handed in some years from now.


As we all know, past results ARE an indicator of future performance

The future always looks good right before a crash. You really don't want a currency as unstable as bitcoin as your legal ledger. we would have had 2 crashes already in this decade alone: the obvious 2020 dip and the dip in 2023.

All the DOGE/Trump shennaigans + the investigation on the Hawk Tuah coin will probably crash it again late this year.


I don't think DOGE/Trump are real bitcoin advocates. I think they're using it as a financial weapon to exploit its vulnerability to crash and break things they don't want to exist.
