Are your parents investing in bitcoin ? Has it impacted your journey with crypto ?

Although I invest in Bitcoin, my parents have never invested in Bitcoin and don't trust it that much. But currently our parents believe that since we are connected to Bitcoin, and we are able to earn money from Bitcoin, they trust Bitcoin. My parents believe in Bitcoin, but they have not invested, even though I have told them that Bitcoin is a good investment project and a great trust. But they asked me to invest, but they won't invest but if I invest then surely it will be a place for me to earn good money in future. Also, I told them to give me money so that I can invest bitcoin and earn good amount from it in future. But they did not agree to this proposal, rather my parents said that you should invest a small amount from the amount you earn. Anyway, as I am not thinking of investing their money, but I will and have invested my money so that it will lead me to higher level of profit in future. But I believe that our next generation who will definitely be able to tell others that their parents invested in Bitcoin and were related to Bitcoin.

My parents also know I invest in bitcoin and am making good profits from it. But contrary to you, they offered to give me some money to invest in bitcoin and I refused immediately. Although bitcoin has potential and will grow strongly in the future, there is no guarantee of that and I don't want my parents to get depressed or have to be hospitalized if something unexpected happens. So I personally don't like my parents participating in these risky investments.

My parents have worked hard all their lives to take care of my two brothers and now it's time for us to show our filial piety by providing them with money instead of continuing to take their last money to get rich for ourselves. So I really don't like the idea of convincing or taking money from my parents to invest in bitcoin.

Keeping the technical aspects aside in layman's terms I would say it has survived for over a decade and faced all sort of challenges from being threatened to be banned to being called scam and being targeted as a medium of terror funding but it has survived of of these accusations and sabotage that's itself is enough for us to understand Bitcoin is not a bubble or weak asset and it would continue to sustain.
Bitcoin is already surviving every stumbling blocks on it's way to becoming the dominant digital cash, that will take over from all the digital fiat. In the early days of it's creation, people were skeptical about it, including me, it was called a Ponzi scheme in my locality, but as the years went by, it's reputation has continued to increase and more people have seen that it's a store of value, hence the adoption continues to grow. Although I believe that most people that hodl Bitcoin, is for investment purposes, to collect profits from it, because it's an asset that continues to increase in value, hopefully in the future, it'll be used more as a digital cash to make payments for items.

I do not doubt the existence of bitcoin, simply because I am a bitcoin investor. I believe that it will not only last, but in the future it will become as popular an asset as gold or more. But to expect it to become a means of payment or become a currency, I don't think that will happen. Transaction fees as well as bitcoin processing speed are issues for it to become a currency. If it were you, would you be willing to spend a few extra dollars as transaction fees when your bills are only worth a few dozen dollars, let alone bills that are only a few dollars? Second, governments will never accept a currency that is not controlled by them, which not only makes it impossible for them to control the people but also makes it difficult for them to control the economy. It's hard to believe that bitcoin will become a currency in the future while it remains a decentralized asset.

Currently, most of the underdeveloped countries that have inflation are also affected by corona. The countries that could not recover from the shock of corona are now the victims of inflation.
Every country, affected or not by the covid-19 virus got their own rates of inflation.

Yes and that's true even though we know that the impact of the last pandemic was quite significant in ravaging the economy because all state funds were used for handling and recovering from the pandemic at that time.

And now perhaps inflation can be said to be more painful than the pandemic. Everyone experiences how money is no longer valuable when they shop for basic necessities.

I think the government needs to step in and immediately calm all this chaos.


Inflation has existed for hundreds of years in our economy and the Covid pandemic has only made it worse rather than being the leading cause of inflation. Many people seem to only start to care about inflation since they invested and they always emphasize that inflation is due to the pandemic, the government printing money...They do not know that there are many causes of inflation and that it always exists even when our economy grows well.

The government is still trying to reduce inflation and raising interest rates is one of their many efforts. But the problem of controlling inflation is not as easy as we think, we don't just need to stop printing money and inflation will disappear, things are not that easy.
inflation isn't new. Prices have always fluctuated in economies. Not just a pandemic or policy, but many kinds of events provoke this. People have more money to spend when economies are thriving, which boosts demand for products and services. Unless firms can meet demand, prices will rise. In summary, inflation. So the true question is how to handle inflation, not why it happens. Raising interest rates is a typical government tool. Higher rates increase borrowing costs, which are supposed to reduce spending and chill the economy

Interest rate hikes aren't magic. Numerous unforeseen effects can result. Business expansion, innovation, and job creation are hindered by higher rates. Layoffs, budget cuts, and a distinct economic slump can result. A precise balance is needed, and interest rates are just one factor. Our economy needs long-term solutions like structural reforms that make it more resilient to shocks and an educated populace

I agree, increasing interest rates is like a double-edged sword. It can help control inflation, but if we overuse it or do not make appropriate adjustments, it can easily cause the economy to fall into recession. But the problem is that besides raising interest rates, do we have any more perfect solution to curb inflation?

I am not an economic advisor and do not have much knowledge about economics, I've tried researching but haven't really found any other effective solution. I really want someone who can come up with serious solutions to discuss together.
44  Economy / Economics / Re: Hyperinflation - Will it lead Countries to Adopt Bitcoin? on: May 27, 2024, 07:26:22 AM
Their economy has improved significantly, but that is because Nayib Bukele has found a way to improve social security and boost the economy in many different ways, they do not rely entirely on bitcoin investment to improve the national economy. I remember Nayib Bukele once said they only used a small part of the national budget to invest in bitcoin and if it failed, it wouldn't have a big impact on them.

Bitcoin is just a volatile asset, a financial market, it's funny that some people think that if they accept bitcoin then inflation will go away. Or even if bitcoin becomes a currency, how will inflation disappear if people do not work and do not increase their income?
People that say that probably do not have an idea about how the economy works or they are too optimistic about bitcoin and what it can do, adopting bitcoin could bring foreign investment to that country and as such improve its economic situation, but it is not going to be enough, even in a country that is relatively small like El Salvador, so a government looking to improve its economy cannot just focus on bitcoin, and instead it needs to try to focus on the entire economy and solve whatever issues it may be slowing it down.

A country with a developed economy needs to have good domestic and foreign policies, attract a lot of capital and create many jobs for people...Besides, national security also needs to be prioritized as in the case of El Salvador, the country with the highest crime rate in the world even though it is only a small country. Developing a country's economy has never been easy but people seem ignorant and naive to think that simply adopting bitcoin can improve a country's economy.

Let's also not forget that bitcoin is not the only anti-inflation asset in existence, gold is also a pretty good anti-inflation asset. If stopping inflation were just about using an asset with a limited supply, governments would have done it long ago without the help of bitcoin.

Finally, Kolkata Knight Riders finished this season of Indian Premier League as champions. With Kolkata Knight Riders winning the title in 2024, they achieved the honor of becoming three champions in the history of the Indian Premier League. Gautam Gambhir as the coach and Shreyas Iyer as the captain played the most effective role in the Kolkata Knight Riders becoming champions. I don't understand why the match is not exciting even though it is a final match but it is a one sided match. Today's match was also one-sided, with Sunrisers Hyderabad batting first and scoring just 113 runs, perhaps not matching the final match. Kolkata Knight Riders' batsmen overcame these few runs of Sunrisers Hyderabad very easily, but even then, Venkatesh Iyer became terrible.


Source: ESPNcricinfo

Yes, but this final was not competitive at all. Something I really do not like to see. This IPL season has not been good at all. At least not for neutral viewers like me. Even though almost all of the teams scored a lot of runs in almost every match, almost 90% of the matches were one sided. And I do not like to see one-sided matches in any sports at any given time.

SRH was able to score only 113 in the first innings of the final match. They were all out. They could not even play the whole 20 overs. They were all out with nine balls in hand. And of course, this target was not going to be enough to defend. KKR was able to change this total with almost 60 balls in hand and eight wickets in hand as well. Really expected better from the IPL final match.

Bangladesh team won the toss and decided to bowl first against the United States in the third T20 match. Today the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled aggressively from the start due to which the US batsmen could not score very well and the US was bowled out for just 104 runs. Bangladesh bowlers bowled very well today. Especially Mustafizur Rahman bowled brilliantly, Mustafizur Rahman alone got six wickets. However, the great performance of the Bangladesh team was very necessary in today's match.
Congratulations to USA for winning the series from Bangladesh. In last T20 USA made only 104 in batting first. Bangladesh bowlers excellent spell by Mustafizur Rahman takes 6 wickets by giving just 10 runs. After bowling brilliantly Bangladesh team chased down the target 108 in the 12th over without losing any wickets. Bangladesh batsmen Tanzid Hasan and Soumya Sarkar played 108 runs partnership which helped the Bangladesh team to won this match single handedly. Tanzid Hasan scored fifty no bowlers from the opposite team USA took single wickets. Bangladesh won the last game but lost this series

I understand that Bangladesh was able to win the last match against the USA by a huge margin. Bangladesh was able to win by 10 wickets. Of course, that is good. But Bangladesh should be really ashamed that they have actually lost the series against the USA in the first place. This makes me believe that Bangladesh actually went to the USA for shopping and traveling, not for playing the World Cup. I genuinely think that Bangladesh is going to be the first team to get knocked out of this World Cup. How did they manage to lose the series against the USA?

That is really going to be a surprise for everyone. Well, I guess you cannot expect anything better when you have Shanto as the captain of Bangladesh. How the hell is this guy the captain of the Bangladesh cricket team in all three formats of cricket? Captain is supposed to lead from the front. This guy cannot score in tests, cannot score in ODI, and plays test cricket T20 match. I understand that he does the research about his opponent. But research can be done by anyone right?

If I only needed his captaincy, I would have brought in Mashrafe as the captain. and I am 100% sure that he would have done a better job than him. Mashrafe was the man to make people believe that Bangladesh can actually be a world-class cricket team. But now it is all going downhill.
47  Economy / Economics / Re: Silver/USD is at its highest since 2013 on: May 26, 2024, 01:23:58 PM
Meh, I would rather keep money on Bitcoin and gold, no other precious metal is allowed in my portfolio. Let it rise, not interested in in any of that rise just in case you have not been holding silver all this while, in which case you should sell and dump to get back some profits.

You never know how this rise might change course. It might drop down which would make it a poor choice to buy at the high, it might rise more which is also possible. Metal lovers might have some opinions on the cause but it all ends up with zero correlation.

In case someone reading has never invested in silver, dont start it now. Its the golden rule, dont buy at the top, sell at the top.
I would also choose gold instead of holding silver. Silver has had impressive gains recently, but that doesn't mean it will continue to maintain those gains. Not to mention, thousands of years have passed but why has silver never equaled or surpassed gold? So there's no reason for me to move into silver just because it's up over 32% in the past year, and if I remember correctly, gold is up over 25% in the past year as well. If comparing these two assets, gold is clearly still the better choice because it is safer. Just like we compare bitcoin with ETH, ETH will definitely bring better returns than bitcoin in the upcoming bull season, but why do many people still choose bitcoin and not ETH?

The truth is that cryptocurrency are viewed as high volatile in some regions of the world and they hesitate to apply the necessary actions that'll interrelate with the severe instability of their country.Whereas,some citizens consider bitcoin as a safe haven for them and the right tool to secure a safe adventure.

Unstable hyperinflation disrupts the value of people's savings and undermine economic activities.One of the claims from Bitcoin maximalists is that Bitcoin will be a hedge against inflation.The key point here is that while some HYP may last many years,its potentially a good hedge against that but that doesn’t make it a good investment at the time of such emergence.
Emerging unfavorable markets are adopting are causing people to adopt cryptocurrencies at a rapid pace.
But that's the truth, though, isn't it? Don't you remember the backlash El Salvador received when Bitcoin crashed below $20,000? They had bought at a significantly higher price, and the whole nation was practically in debt due to its Bitcoin acquisition. It could have had detrimental effects on the government and in the country as well, as they could have gone bankrupt, and it would shut down any further discussions about Bitcoin becoming legal tender in any other country, as El Salvador would be a prime example of failure for cryptocurrencies. Fortunately, none of these happened, and I'm guessing their economy has seen a boost due to the current price increase, but its volatile nature can be both a blessing and a curse.

Their economy has improved significantly, but that is because Nayib Bukele has found a way to improve social security and boost the economy in many different ways, they do not rely entirely on bitcoin investment to improve the national economy. I remember Nayib Bukele once said they only used a small part of the national budget to invest in bitcoin and if it failed, it wouldn't have a big impact on them.

Luckily, in the last match of the season, Union Berlin managed to win over Freiburg and it was not an ordinary victory considering that the additional 3 points were very important to keep them in the Bundesliga next season. In the end, with all the bad things that happened this season, Union Berlin finished at one level of the relegation zone with 33 points.

That is something they should strive for considering that there is not much they can do from the start of the season onwards. Union Berlin cannot correct the mistakes they have made so far. I can only hope that they can find their game again like when they were able to secure the top four in the 22/23 season and don't let the red streak from this season happen again next season.
Indeed have bad perform, Union Berlin got luckily after success outside from relegation playoff round and will existing in Bundesliga for season 2024/25 considering their performance last season success finish at Champion League spot standings. Important victory over SC Freiburg and helped Union Berlin reach the outside standings from relegation zone and make Bochum have start the relegation playoff match although both team currently have the same points.

I think big mistake of Union Berlin performance last season because focus on Champion League match, in other side their squad is not on the higher level but get appearance playing in Champion League and make decreasing perform in domestic league. I think they must improving with composition for next season and reach back the Europe League or Champion League spot standings.

Is it just me or did anyone else also expect better performance from Freiburg?

I thought they should have finished the season a lot better compared to what they have done. They did not win a single match in the last five that they have played in this season. They were in a pretty decent position. But towards the end, they had lost it. I definitely expected them to finish better than the 10th position that they have done. and I think we can expect that from a team that has finished fifth in the last season. This was a big disappointment for them. I hope they will be able to figure out what the problem is and fix that going into the next season. Otherwise, there is a very big possibility that they are going to actually finish near the relegation zone. I know that is a little extreme situation to think about. but it is very much possible as well.

Pochettino is rumored to be the next coach of Manchester United after the last game of Ten Hag
(it will be played vs Mancehster City, so a probably loss)

About Manchester United, Greenwood is wanted by Napoli.

it is just a rumour to make Pochetino be tainted like a good manager, Manchester United is never going for Pochettino.  They have other coaching prospect that even Southgate is far from the job.

Greenwood future depends on the next Manchester United manager; a wise coach brings him back and bolster the squad attack, a poor manager sells him and buys another waste of a right winger to the Manchester united squad.

What do you think will happpen?



https://x.com/DeadlineDayLive/status/1794107328171483353

Well, I guess Manchester United is not worried about the biggest problem that they have right now. I am pretty sure that if they had any decent coach, this same squad is going to be able to bring in better results. I think the coach that they have right now is just not fit for the job.

I do not understand what the authority is thinking. He has problems with a lot of the players in the squad. you know a  lot of players actually left Manchester United who were very passionate about Manchester United just because of him. and the authorities are still interested in keeping the coach. I do not understand what is going on. I think at this point if the owners of Manchester United do not change, nothing is actually going to change and things are going to get worse.
52  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: ⚽ Football Transfers Speculation, Odds and Predictions on: May 24, 2024, 07:42:12 PM
Maybe they'll fire Xavi Hernandez first. You can focus on that for now. I feel like if they get him fired they're daft and a dvmp headed side. How well have they even transformed Nice in the france league 1 Competition.
Can't believe you're one of those who use just a season to judge how the coach has been for the club. It's mind blowing...

Did you say a season? Isn't this Ten Hag's second season?
Comparing Ten Hag to Xavi is not very fair for Xavi, is it? Xavi has been at the club for 2 and a half seasons and he has a league title and the Spanish Super Cup to his name, what does Ten Hag have? Now the trophies aside, have you been impressed with the way Ten Hag handles Manchester United? Look at the way he handles the players, that shows poor management. Look at how the team plays, very awful. Barcelona wants to fire Xavi because they're a big club and a big club wants results.

There are a few things you look at before giving a coach more time at the club even though he's failing. One of those things is how he instils confidence confidence on his squad. Now let me ask you this, do Manchester United players believe they can win a trophy next season? Do they believe in themselves? What motivation do they have? Indeed, United don't have a good squad, but the players should believe in themselves and that would only happen if the coach instils that confidence in them.

You talked down on Arsenal, and that's cool. I'm history, Manchester United have a better mentality than them, but this isn't history. The difference between Manchester United and Arsenal right now is that Arsenal believe they'll win a trophy next season (even though they might not) but I can't say the same for Manchester United

The problem is a coach has to think about what’s best for the club that he is managing right now. He cannot think about what worked somewhere else and try to implement that same thing in another club. The problem with Ten Hag is that he was trying to make Manchester United to Ajax 2.0. Of course that was not going to work out. And also he was a little biased towards bringing in Dutch players or players from the Eredivisie division. I think he did not have the best interest of the club. First, he thought about himself and after that, he thought about the players that he liked. Not the players that would be best for the club.

I know a lot of people are going to talk trash about Arsenal. But the truth is, they are improving. Yes, I agree that they are spending a huge amount of money. But they are also bringing in good results. Manchester United is also spending money but the result is not there.
53  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: La Liga (Spanish League) Prediction Thread 2023/24 on: May 24, 2024, 05:27:24 PM
The La Liga is technically over already.  Smiley  Because there is no competition left for any target. There won't be any change in top 7 no matter what the results of the final week are. When it comes to the relegation zone the teams to relegate are also official: Cadiz, Granada and Almeria. Therefore the remaining games are only formality.

Big congratulations to Girona once again! They fully deserved the third position after all that high effort. They actually beat Barcelona by the same score (4-2) twice but they are finishing behind them. It is due to some complacency on the recent weeks of course.  Smiley  I can't wait to watch them in the Champions League.

There is nothing remaining in this season, and Real Madrid has already won the trophy. I don't think there is any other game remaining in La Liga there are no more adjustments to be made. Even in the final week, nothing will change because everyone already understands their beliefs. The three clubs are undoubtedly going to be relegated. and Madrid's chances of taking home the Champions League were strong.  and things are surprising because who would expect Girona not to make it to the second place? I feel Girona should have done more because I remember at some point they were dragging points with Real Madrid. and next season Girona might have a chance next season. but I feel next season is going to be tough because of the way Girona has thirsted for victory so they will want to get to that top at all costs, I see some other clubs coming up so next season is going to be hot. and they have a good prospect next season coming from next season.

Yaah, the La Liga season is basically over.
The teams that are going to participate in the Champions League have already been decided,
the teams that will play in the Europa League have also been decided.
The teams that are going to get relegated have also been confirmed and
at the same time, the teams that are going to play in the Europa Conference League qualifier have also been confirmed.

Nobody is going to change places. Teams that are in these certain positions are also not going to change positions between themselves as well. Because only one match is left and the point difference between these teams are more than three with each other.

So the La Liga season is basically over. I am a little disappointed to see Girona finish in the third position. They had the potential to actually finish on the second ahead of Barcelona. But they had fallen off a little towards the end of the season. I do hope though that they will be able to keep performing well in the next season.

Thats funny. Before the game, many predicted a Leverkusen triumph. You couldnt bet against a season-unbeaten club, right? Football's beauty is its unpredictability. On reflection, this result doesnt change the overall picture. But Leverkusen has had a great season. Without many star players, going unbeaten in the league and reaching the European final is difficult. They'll be devastated, but they may learn from it. Still, it shouldnt interfere with what they've done. It should energize them for next season. Since they've defeated the finest, I think they'll be stronger than ever. Remember: Leverkusen's greatness is just beginning.
Next season, Bayer Leverkusen will have an even greater league than this season, namely the Champions League through the Bundesliga, which Leverkusen won this season. This will be quite interesting for many people to wait and watch because in the Champions League there are many teams that are more challenging and also stronger than the teams in the European League. I am also quite amazed at the achievements that Leverkusen has made this season in the two leagues they are playing in this season and this will certainly provide a more mature readiness for Leverkusen when they take on the Champions League next season.


Source: ESPN

I was honestly very surprised to see this result from Leverkusen. I thought there was no way they were going to lose this match let alone lose this match so convincingly. And I thought that because of the performance they have shown throughout this season. Now I think maybe we all underestimated Atalanta a lot. Ademola Lookman the Clash of Kings showed an extraordinary performance.

I also feel like Leverkusen might have done the same thing as well. Because I think the outcome should have been better for them from this match. They had a great chance of winning all the things that they could in this season. But they have failed. without his hat-trick Atalanta will never be able to break Leverkusen's morality.

I was getting a feeling that one of two things are definitely going to happen. Either they are going to not be able to win all the finals, or they are not going to be able to maintain 0 losses in the Bundesliga. But still, I think the things that they have achieved in this season are really good. they obviously already have made history. It just could be better.

Money addiction

In my opinion, when we talk about the word "addiction", we are talking about bad things and evils in society. Meanwhile, making money is to meet life's needs and to survive in this world, so I wouldn't call making money an addiction.

Making money is an extremely difficult and sometimes even life-threatening task in high-risk jobs. So in your opinion, is anyone stupid enough to be addicted to things that can get them into trouble, even endanger their lives? Making money is our only way if we don't want to be eliminated from this world.

You don't need to consult or listen to analysis from any analyst, bitcoin's price increase is inevitable and will definitely happen, the only problem is time. That's why people often advise each other not to pay too much attention to the short-term volatility of bitcoin, look at the long term and bitcoin will never disappoint us.
I have not heard this in a long time and like the advice Smiley
It's funny how all these guys have appointed themselves experts of Bitcoin but where nowhere to be seen when price was worthless and few believed in crypto...but today have become the loudest!!

Btw, I do agree we don't need the so called consultants because we already know that Bitcoin supply is in a limited supply and price is going in one direction..which is UP.

If we take the time to learn everything about bitcoin, we will see that it is only a matter of time before bitcoin price increases and we can also be our own experts without having to listen to anyone's predictions. Furthermore, if we spend time understanding the market, we will know that this market has no experts, only cycles and investor psychology. But the sad thing is that most people don't take the time to learn everything, they just like to go to self-proclaimed experts and believe in what they predict.
57  Economy / Economics / Re: Money is all wealth? on: May 24, 2024, 02:16:32 PM
I don't know whether we consider money as a wealth or not, but money is something that all people need. Money is everything in today's world to live properly and live comfortably. A man who has no money understands the meaning of money. I agree with you that money can never buy happiness but if you don't have money your loved ones will not look after you and even your wife will leave you.

There is a saying in our own vernacular, "If there is no money, love flies out the window" it is absolutely true. The main goal of people doing all kinds of activities and jobs or business in the world is to earn money. Again, the main goal of earning money for people is to spend their days happily and peacefully with their loved ones. If there was no need for money in the world, then maybe people would not run like mad to earn money. We need money to buy things or assets that we need to live well.

"Money will buy happiness", when you have money, your family will have a full life without having to worry, cause stress, and lead to chaos in the family. When you have money, you will have more time to spend with your children and take care of your elderly parents. When you have money, you will have more time to take care of yourself...and you can do many things that you couldn't do before just because you didn't have money. Isn't that happiness?

Money not only buys happiness but it also helps maintain your happiness as you said, because no matter how beautiful love is, but without money everything will become very ugly. I believe that married people will understand this better than unmarried people. So with my life experience, I can say that money can buy everything.
Among the few things that a man needs most to make his life full and happy, money is the most necessary. As I said it is true that without money one does not value one's family. If a person has a large amount of money, he is still respected by everyone even if he is a fool in the society. And if a person does not have money, even if he passes his master's degree, he is looked down upon by everyone.

Now people's life has come to such a stage that if you have huge amount of money you will get value to people if you don't have money you will have no value to people. That's why people now want to earn more money because without money, happiness and peace in life is never possible. It's not just that having money brings happiness and peace, even if you have a beautiful mind, you can live happily and peacefully. There are many people who have a lot of money but they are not happy, I have also seen many rich people who have a lot of money but their wives left them. One of the examples we can give is that Bill Gates, the richest man in the world, despite his endless money, his wife left him. What do you say about it?

There are people who are living in poverty and difficulty but they always smile, always say that they are satisfied with their current life. Simply because they have accepted their fate or they are comforting themselves so they don't feel too much pressure from life. Honestly, I have never seen a poor person have a happy life, I have never seen anyone who is poor and has a peaceful life in a society dominated by money like today.

You want to talk about Bill Gates' marriage? In my opinion, there are many reasons why a marriage breaks down and we will never know their personal life so it is difficult to say divorce is a bad thing for them or their divorce is related to money. Surely you have seen many divorced couples but still become friends, divorced but still happy every time they see each other...And what do you think about these cases?

Scarcity is important just as the hard cap limit, but these things have never defined the value of something. The most important thing is use cases. Real acceptance.

I can give you many examples of things that are scarce but not really valuable, just because nobody needs them for anything.
Take tellurium - one of the least common elements on Earth. It's not that expensive for something that rare. It costs $80 per kg, which is much cheaper than silver, not to mention some other, rare metals like ruthenium that's over 10x the price of silver.

Rarity, cost of production and all that does not equal value.
Bitcoin is not the only asset with a limited supply, and creating tokens with a limited supply has never been difficult. It's sad that many people still make the mistake of thinking that supply is what determines the value of bitcoin. I wonder if bitcoin has no use case and no practical application, how does the fact that bitcoin has a limited supply come into play?

There is no denying that limited supply also plays a role in bitcoin's increase in value, but it is the use case that determines bitcoin's demand. Higher demand combined with limited supply, in turn helps bitcoin value increase. The fact that people pay too much attention to the supply and ignore bitcoin use cases proves that people are only speculating on bitcoin, and they don't really understand what bitcoin is.

I think Gold used to be a good investment but it just simply doesn’t provide high enough returns any more to interest me. We’re here on a Bitcoin & cryptocurrency forum, Gold is a boomers investment. Bitcoin is here to take over, I see no reason why anybody under 50 would want Gold now.

There is nothing wrong with someone wanting to own gold in this day and age, gold is still the asset considered the best inflation hedge and safe haven. That was most clearly shown during the recent inflationary period, when crisis and inflation attacked the world economy, gold continuously increased in price and was always the top choice of the Government as well as billionaires.

And the reason we choose bitcoin is because we want to get rich quickly, we don't have too much capital and we want to become rich with our little capital. It is true but many people are trying to hide it and are starting to criticize gold and real estate, assets that they seem unable to own.

BTC,gold is definitely better than money. Because the value of cash is decreasing day by day. It is very risky. But if one invests money in bitcoin or gold, the value of money will increase day by day. We all know how profitable investing in bitcoin is.  And how much profit it guarantees. And those who don't know much about bitcoin will definitely want to invest in gold. It is also profitable, but there is some harassment when selling gold.
For most people who don't understand what bitcoin is, I don't think they believe that it can make money, they only trust gold to store it. According to them, if there was an increase, they would definitely say it was a profit. In fact, the increase in gold was not very significant. If they understand or understand what bitcoin is, I think they will definitely switch their investment asset choice from gold to bitcoin, which is much more profitable in the very long term. Fiat is valued by society because it is our transaction tool for daily needs. However, the fact is that many people do not know that its value will continue to shrink or decrease from day to day due to the impact of inflation.
From the explanation you gave, I can conclude that Bitcoin is better than gold and fiat. Because bitcoin is able to overcome the shortcomings of both, bitcoin is here to perfect what gold and fiat do not have. Fiat loses value due to inflation, gold for investment but the increase is not as big as bitcoin.

In essence, this comparison makes it clear that the concept of Bitcoin is much more perfect than Fiat and Gold as a store of value and a better future for transactions. Gold and Bitcoin are both valuable assets, gold because of its physical properties while Bitcoin because its supply and users are limited. Basically, gold can be considered a store of value rather than a practical means of exchange because gold has weaknesses such as being heavy and difficult to carry, of course this is an obstacle. In contrast to Bitcoin, Bitcoin has the potential to become a transaction tool that is widely used anywhere and at any time and is more practical. So in conclusion, Bitcoin is the best money, even though currently we still have to use fiat because there are no other options for transactions in everyday life.

Is this a fair comparison and assessment? When I just see you guys constantly bringing up the downsides of fiat money and gold, and giving all the flattery to bitcoin. Gold does not bring higher returns than bitcoin but it is safer and more stable than bitcoin, it does not get dumped 70%-80% in just a few months. Gold is bulky so storing and moving around can be difficult at times, but bitcoin also has associated risks such as being hacked, forgetting the seed phrase, and how can we use bitcoin without internet?...No asset is perfect, and each asset is used for different use cases. Even though we are bitcoin investors, we don't need to exaggerate bitcoin and badmouth other assets, because that doesn't make bitcoin any better.
