    Tulips, dot.com bubble...  but crypto could be the Daddy of them all.

    It is inappropriate to compare the tulip with Bitcoin (and other Alt Coin). Did you watch the video posted on  26 July at 12:20PM and 27 July at 6:31PM  on this thread ??
    Do you know who Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey. Do you think they are stupid ???
    Also what about these billionaires who store their wealth in Bitcoin. Do you think they are stupid ....

    I don't believe that billionaires "store their wealth" in Bitcoin.  Or any particular asset class, for that matter.

    Their wealth will be spread far and wide.

    Tulip boom lasted about 4 years max. There's crypto exchanges out there older than that never mind BTC itself.

    Number go up too much, is that the reasoning?

    Have said here many times before that BTC is going to $100k, let's see how long it takes.
    I thought it was the end of the year? Careful not to hurt yourself, those goalposts are heavy.

    Lol, I’ll come back and apologise when it happens in Feb.

    Doesn’t matter when, long term it’s UpOnly. One of the best YouTube channels actually for those that are pro financial democracy

    Well, you are free of what you want to believe and not to believe.

    But it is higly insensible and it is an insult to these billionaires:

    To ever think that they do not know diversification

    They do not understand the importance of diversification in various asset.

    If you were a billionaire obviously you would own a bit of as much as you can unless you were stone cold sure something wasn't worthy of your hard earned cash. So when someone like WB and munger say bitcoin is trash that says a lot more to me. 

    Personally i hope BTC goes well for you, but i just don't see what's all the fuss with it when banks are in the process of making digital currency themselves. 

    @Scott

    Not sure what world i would have to be living in to need to be able to carry my net worth around in my head. Even if their was such a time when i would need that its digital, it can easily be lost, either by forgetting your pass or maybe i just have no access to the net or a gun to my head. Its just complete nonsense to need to be able to do that.

    Either BTC is the new gold or world currencies get hyper inflated and BTC/crypto at least maintains its worth, it goes sideway/down or becomes worthless. Maybe its a coinflip and i should take a punt on it but definitely isn't worthy of a huge amounts of my money.

    Warren Buffet & Charlie Munger are too old to understand the AI, Block Chain, Genesis Technologies, Genomic Revolution and disruptive innovation and Technologies in order to appreciate them. But you should not be expecting your grandpas to understand or to have interest on this sort of things.

    Just look at how they sold their Airlines, Banking Stocks During the COVID pandemic and how many billions money did they lose. Did they get it right ?? Just look at how their funds are performing now ??

    These people Michael Saylor, Cathie Wood, Elon Musk, Jack Dorsey. Mark Zuckeberg, Jeff Bezos are among many others are billionaires but also have interest and understand very well of what Bitcoin, Alt Coins could do and potential could do in the future.

    Ask people from Venezuela, Argentina, Zimbabwe if it's nonsense when the local gov either stops you getting access to your bank and all your savings or hyperinflation erodes your savings so badly that they become worthless anyway.

    Not a 1st world problem of course, but that's the need.

    Not worth your money fine, it is worth mine. Could be part of something revolutionary even outside of the potential personal profit. I like risk, I'd rather throw a chunk of my incomings at it, be proven wrong and take the hit than scramble around for 1% in some bs savings account. Or 5% a year in some equity fund. Personal choice obviously
