This's interesting. We're no-where near the dotcom bubble yet in terms of market-cap:



But even if you consider bitcoin a bubble and think that it has reached a point where dotcom reached at all time high, and will burst like dot-com, then bitcoin has already lost 70% of its value from all time high, which was the total bubble burst of Nasdaq.



...feeling bullish. We might see more percentage of lambos owned by crypto early adopters by 2020 and we're for sure still in early adoption stage (Bill Gates' recent very amateurish statement regarding crypto is another example of it). We're gonna see bearish seasons like the current one along the way and we'll only have to hodl, but only thing which is gonna be a hurdle for me is my tuition fee during my hodling route.

As painful as this correction has been, it really is helping to purge all the blind speculation, ICOs, useless forks and other scams.

I do hope the above is true, I would not be so certain. New blind speculation will come accordingly.

It's all your fault! You are supposed to be watching the Optimism Chart TM not a silly positivity, wishful thinking chart.
 


As for the rest, I'm purging my altcoin stash back to BTC.
Like Professor V8 would say: FUCK altcoins

Breaking below $5k now seems much more likely than it would be if we were to go to $80k first.

Seems that this particular BTC price correction is going to affect any next leg up... so if we do not break below $5k this time around, then breaking $5k after reaching $80k would seem to have been marketed out...   But if we have a bit more of a lame upwards trend, then breaking below $5k could still be within reasonable possibilities.

 So yeah, if we go (more or less) straight up to $80k from here, then that going straight up might cause around $80k to be the next ATH top.. but if we spend more time in these price territories, then it becomes likely that the top could go higher than $80k...

Also, if, hypothetically, we were to go straight to $80k from here, then likely somewhere between $10k and $15k would become the more reasonable bottom of any extreme price correction, so my point is that the passage of each leg does change what extremes are reasonably feasible within this particular asset class that we have.

TLDR:  I suppose that I am neither conceding below $5k to be inevitable and I am also quibbling with how reasonable such a below $5k would be if we were to an experience a decent reversal from here, especially a reversal that brings us into anything approaching $80k.

the Sumerians invented writing. and the same folks in the same area and the same time also invented money. both inventions together made it possible for the first time in history that lots of people -that did not know each other personally- were able to cooperate to form large kingdoms, armies, large scale tax collection, religions, etc. before the Sumerians had invented money and letters/writing people only cooperated with the 100-150 people they personally knew.

that writing was essential for the development of culture is agreed upon, but money was/is of the same importance. the invention of a truly digital, decentralized global, peer2peer money that is bitcoin represents a cultural tectonic shift as heavy as the invention of printing books.

now this comes with a lot of responsibility for those who were early in recognizing this game changer. while bitcoin is a grand cultural enhancer that aims to change the world, all altcoins/ICO´s are purely made because the people behind it wanted to make a quick buck. if their creators were responsible characters they would try to get their idea into bitcoin (or btc sidechain) and not try to scam money out of newbs.

speaking of responsibility: it is a fact that bitcointalk is by far the most important bitcoin forum. and the WO-thread is the most important thread. ladies and gentlemen, you are helping to create some new crypto-gospel with every post you put in here. as long as you keep bashing shitcoins as merciless as possible and howl to the moon^TM you are right on track.

It's both about storage. The utility of writing is so that you can "store" and share knowledge. The utility about money is so that you can "store" work. Excess (as in more than exactly needed to survive by bartering) work storage.

Without writing there would almost be no knowledge increase and without money there would be no total "value" increase as it would be pointless to do any more extra work than you could somehow "store".

Of course there are exceptions, as some amount of knowledge can be shared without writing and also there is some ways to store value ie: you can produce some food that is less perishable than others and use it as a temporal storage of value.

But to fully take advantage of both knowledge and value you need a proper way to store it and share it. That is where writing and money come into place to fill the void.

And the same as writing evolved to other more advances ways of storage (audio, video, etc) money is evolving to better alternatives (BITCOIN).
