Why Bitcoin Could Be the Best Investment of the Century

[gentlemand]

I often ask myself - why aren't they directly buying bitcoins?
Could they possibly think that the technology has applications, but the price could go to double digits?

All they'd be doing is handing over their money to zitty early adopters who'd probably dump all over them and turn it all into smoke. There'd be a spike then it would settle back to where it started with zero gain for anyone.

These people make their money by building ongoing businesses with revenue and growth prospects. BTC itself will only flourish with more genuine applications. That's what they do.

I'm sure plenty involved have had a personal dabble but no one putting up the bread is going to bite their hand off when they say 'well, we're gonna use your money to buy a bunch of coins. Then we're gonna sit on them for a few years and do nothing. Hopefully they'll be worth loads more. How cool is that? Here's my bank details.

It's well written and put in a way that would help most outsiders understand why it's a good idea to get into the market right now. I seriously believe that Bitcoin could be the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. Although my friends and family still think I'm crazy, but we shall see. 

yeah, there are still a lot of people who think that we who invested in bitcoin and believe in the higher price of bitcoin, are crazy .
but i am still believing and holding my bitcoins for a better future.

I really hope some of the greeks have been able to purchase bitcoin. Who knows, after 10-15 years greeks could become the next filthy rich country because of bitcoins.

Good points, plus there's a bit of the chicken and the egg thing going on.

How's the price ever going to rise in the long run without development of the ecosystem.

The VC money is building the system. Their intention is for organic demand to derive from it. If no organic demand arrives then it's all over.

It's no good having ten millionaires playing market with each other. You need millions of normal folks all finding a place for it in their lives. More and more compelling usage cases are arriving every day thanks to the people beavering away providing actual services.

Welp, looks like that article was right about us being at the beginning of the next bull run. The pop we saw this morning was nice, but I think we need to break $310 before the mega green candles begin. What do you guys think? Will we go up gradually past that point or do you think it will be a race back to $1k+? I'd really like to know your thoughts.

I have friends and family that have been waiting on the side lines asking me when the perfect time would be to get back in. My feeling right now is if they wait too long they might not get in on time.

in the future owning bitcoin will be a status symbol when the average person can't afford to buy even one.

I think the most important thing many people seem to over look, is the $229 million in backing from VC firms... Ask yourself the question.. Why would that much money be invested in something, if the people behind it, did not see potential in the technology?

They do already invest in Bitcoin, they just don't say so directly. They prefer to PR their Bitcoin based companies rather than saying "im loaded with Bitcoins", because that's precisely an argument used by haters. For example, Caesares Wenceslao from Xapo is well invested in Bitcoin and has publicly said so and has predicted BTC will go to 500k to 1 million dollars, something in between, in the next 10 years. He gets lots of hate by no-coiners because he admitted he is invested in BTC besides other companies. Thats why there is a lot of big wall street names and CEOs out there secretly owning BTC. If you don't think the likes of Bill Gates, Elron Musk, all sort of wall street people.. aren't yet holding BTC, you are delusional. The thing is, they haven't gone balls deep because they still wouldn't benefit from a sky rocketing price, too soon.

For some people in here it has already been the investment of the century.
Some people bought houses, retired, started business because of this revolutionary currency.

Will it happen again?

Maybe, time will tell. So far, even if was not an early adopter I made some cents with it.

Shame I'm not one of those people.

Me too... in a literal sort of way.

It really is crazy to think about the very early adopters that were handsomely rewarded for throwing in a couple hundred bucks into a new technology.  Although I wasn't one of them either, kudos to those that came out ahead.

it feels like terminator genesis in here we all wants to change the future, just wondering who wants to be the john Connor for bitcoin, could skynet be the government at this point ? or lets say Banks !

A very well written article.. Good job.

I think we might have way more than 100 000 merchants world wide, who accepted Bitcoin. I am writing emails to companies on a daily basis, asking when they will accept Bitcoin and giving them contact details of companies who would help them to do it.

The Cult like community, is actually a complement for us..... but it should actually be replaced by the word "Passionate" or "enlightened"   

it is a little bit more than 229 mio

I think it's a much safer investment than stocks in my opinion, it's much more stable. At this price, you're bound to get a decent ROI. It's been steady around the 250's for a little while but I'm confident it'll increase it's price within the upcoming months. A few acquaintances of mine as well don't have faith in the whole "Bitcoin movement", but with the collapse in Greece, Bitcoin is more than needed.

interesting article. and i agree with 90% of the whole idea.
i believe bitcoin is a very good investment for everybody because it is at a very low price level right now and it definitely has the potential to grow and give a nice profit to your initial investment, just as it did back in the year 2013.

but it is not the best investment, because of the high risk that is involved with it. there is always the rule of "high risk high reward" but still i find lower risk investments better. and keep a lower percent of all my investments in bitcoin.

[smith coins]

I believe that Bitcoin is the greatest invention of our recent time and it is in our best interest and the interest of the whole world to get a critical mass of people use it and support it.

[tiggytomb]

I am a bit irritated that I just bypassed Bitcoin in the early days, heard of it but never really looked into it.  When I did it was still close to $1k and I've watched it come down to what it is now, it will rise again and possibly a lot higher so I am quietly gathering my coins until this happens.

[Amph]

funny because i remember an article that it was tagging it like the worst investment of 2014, all because of the crash of early 2014, if people can forget slowly about that "black dot" of the all time chart of bitcoin, then it will be born stronger than before

this shit is gonna skyrocket like never before stay tuned
