Bitcoin has been declared dead many times: https://bitcoindeaths.com/ It just keeps on existing.

Bitcoin isn't going to die, but it isn't going to replace currency or gold. It'll remain as a speculation vehicle and a mechanism to move value outside of regulated financial systems.

I don't think the BTC market is worth playing unless you are good at knowing how the whales (who control it in its entirety) operate. Everyone already knows BTC will be back at 110 in a few months. It might dip to 30 first, who the hell knows.

What can the whales do that is unclear until its over?

They can all sell massively to drive the price down, then all re-buy massively?

The Bitcoin ecosystem, folks looking at it as an investment / get rich pathway, all the scam / poorly run companies, straight up crime ... really seems to fly in the face of the whitepaper and presumed ethos.

To a first approximation ~nobody who "invests" in crypto has read a whitepaper or considered the ethos.

It's one of the bugs/features of crypto.

That is not in itself a recommendation. You could say the same of most infectious diseases and parasites, or antisocial acts.

I wish COVID had that ROI.
