Well, if you predict every possible outcome, you will be right at least once.

#32It could also go back to $100. Bitcoin has no mainstream use right now. It's too expensive to transact in terms of money and time, it's too volatile to be a store of value, it's too technical to be used casually, it's too fragile since it gets hacked every which way, and it's too easily copied to be rare.
Crypto is also a stock market 2.0, where bitcoin is an index fund.

People always forget to include future innovations in their projections. It's as if they don't believe (or know) that software can rapidly improve. The lightning network looks very promising in its ability to scale and reduce fees. It would make transactions nearly instantaneous, have reasonable fees, and help scale the network.
No, it would help scale "the lightning network" which would not be the same as "the bitcoin network".

#35Yeah, this seems like weird erratic behavior. I mean if you are raising a big fund for bitcoin and you think it's going to drop, that's good for yoi because you can buy it cheaper. And if you are not a bitcoin bull, why raise a fund in the first place? Something is up with this guy
BTC will make a massive rebound in 2018. I'm sure a lot of BTC bulls have full knowledge of this possibility and are acquiring as many as possible.

Bitcoin's value prop is a store of wealth and it's an entryway (through exchanges) to far more interesting coins. Crypto is also a stock market 2.0, where bitcoin is an index fund.

The internet was a big bubble, and quite a few stocks survived and made handsome returns.

#39I refuse to believe that he didn't anticipate this given how insanely it was going up lately. I'm surprised he haven't bought back yet and wants it to go lower. It totally could though. Just 2 months ago $10k for Christmas sounded very optimistic.
Who knows, it might still be very optimistic today.

And you posted that comment while driving your flying car on your way to alpha centauri, right?
Foolosh cargo cult beliefs such as the ones you've illustrated do not serve as any basis to make investment decisions.
