Yeah, yeah. One thing I admire the Bitcoin fans - they are diehards. But at the same time, there's nothing new under the sun - greed is powerful! But it never ends well!

can't agree more, just can't understand why bitcoin could be so expensive

It is cheap for a global reserve currency. That's the ultimate goal.

It's cheap if you value it through the digital gold thesis (it's close to 1/5th of the way there).

It all depends on your valuation framework, what's yours?

You assume that early adopters still hold their Bitcoins. A tiny fraction of them might, most of them have sold (and regretted it, me including).

The Bitcoin traders are estimated to a few hundred million, certainly not "a few". Coinbase alone have approximately 56 million accounts.

The market is constantly crashing and reviving, people refusing to take the risk and buy should not complain afterwards for the new "elite" class. You had your chance (multiple times).

Your regret should be that you sold but didn't buy lower if you really wanted to be on this bandwagon. I bought, sold, and bought again, and sold again many times, and I've made money. So what? There are more intelligent ways to invest and even get better return.

such story could be widely spread that someone bought thousands of bitcoins maybe six or seven years ago, and hold it till now. then he's financial freedom.
