Yes, bitcoin is a real currency. Its all demand & supply concept. So, the reason why its becoming too hot for investors because its demand is increasing.

Not sure what you mean by can't get physical commodities. Lots of cases where Bitcoin's been used to exchange for exactly that: real estate's a prime example where even cash isn't preferable for single-payment buys.

Worse come to worse, Bitcoin is exchangeable almost anywhere in the world for almost any currency - and that's not decided by any country or bank, there's just simply millions of people and businesses that will readily accept your Bitcoin.

Name 1 other currency that you can use anywhere in the world to exchange for the country's currency. Don't say USD either, some countries prohibit those, and you'd need to find a moneychanger in 90% of the world. Bitcoin? Go p2p and there's plenty of people ready to take your bitcoin.

It being stateless isn't a shortfall, it's one of the very things creating value for it.


I got your point. i am really thankful for this much detailed and helpful answer but dont you think this could help people to launder their black money so easily and this is also tax free. it could be beneficiary for the rich individuals but it world hurt poor people in poor countries.

Well basically the value of cryptocurrencies all came from its demand and supply, anyone who had learned economics in their school will know how that works. Even without any financial background backing it the value of Bitcoin will always come from its demand and supply. Just take a look on how Gold has its value based on its demand and supply. It doesn't matter if Bitcoin (or any other cryptocurrency in that matter) exist virtually as even though it is, its supply is limited and also is obtainable to anyone who has a wallet in their hands.


P.S.
I don't know why you have posted this in the legal section, you should move this topic to another sections probably in the Economics.


Sorry, if i didn't post in a right section but let me tell you. I do understand the supply-demand concept and how inflation hits the value so bad, but, this is the real question. If its only virtual how people take so much interest in it and believe on it.
I found most of the people who have crypto but are not much informative about it. they just feel its good to invest. So can we say this is just because of the strong marketers with the help of some blockchain developers.

More and more people are signing up with my Social Profiles in Bounty Campaigns trying to scam me and other genuine hunters out of their rewards.

Is there a thread where we can flag these people so they can be marked with red trust?

This is the latest example:

Pj_Pabatao1 ---> https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=2455645

Proof: Check LinkedIn row 25. Using same LinkedIn account as row 14

When checking the post history I noticed he is using the social media post links of multiple people (coincidently also my little brothers facebook in the WellMee Bounty)







Yes i feel the same way
