This is how many Bitcoin people in here are arguing:

I saw some people buy a can of Coca Cola for 2000$ just a month a ago.

Now I can buy a can of Coca-Cola for only 500$, it is cheap!!


Bitcoin is not cheap at 6000$. It is make-believe toy money with no real value apart from some novelty value for people who like to have cryptos for fun.

Coca cola destroys your enamel. It's a drink for dumb people who don't know how to prepare healthy juice with vitamins on their own.
I have blender, juice squeezer and I f*ck corporations which destroy the world.

So true. The same people don't seem to understand the over-hyped bubble that drove the price up to $20k. It was just hot air. Everyone wanted a slice of something they didn't understand. Rather than "miss out" they jumped on the bandwagon, with its wonky wheels and creaky frame, going nowhere.

When coca cola (aka bitcoin) was $0.50 it was sort of fine. People on here should be asking why did the price go up to $20k in the first place and not why has the price come down from $20k recently. It's totally the wrong question to be asking if people are looking for real insight.

Coca Cola has an intrisic value - bitcoins are like casino tokens.

Ok, I do not know if this is really the dip, or we are going to dive at $1500. So I divided by total crypto and hedge the half to USDT. The other half is invested purely in BTC. Waiting for the next BTC flow.

This is the third thread you have started just this morning filled with nothing but FUD. Looking at your post history, all you seem to do is laugh at everyone holding, calling them "dumb", "idiots", "absurd", and "delusional".

There are serious discussion to be had about the market price, the technology, the reasons for the dip, and where we are headed from here. Unfortunately, starting a conversation with nonsense analogies and laughing at other users does not lead to a serious discussion.

There are no such serious discussions in here. The level of brain power in here are limited to saying "Bitcoin to the moooooon" and crying that all arguments against Bitcoin are FUD and should be removed.

Its true and its just human nature when something consider dropping from the peak almost 50% in just a couple week. However if we've been following bitcoin movement, the price has already gain more than that since the last few year. Not to mention last year when price hitting $5k-7k before sudden burst to almost $20k in just a month and the price now is just another normal price for bitcoin before the outburst. I think its normal since the price have reached $20k but i dont consider it cheap because i've seen bitcoin surging from just $2k in last year  Grin Grin

This is the third thread you have started just this morning filled with nothing but FUD.

How exactly is this FUD? I am making the argument that just because an overvalued asset decline to a lower - but still overvalued - level, does not mean that it is a good price.

Do you have any argument or are you just crying "FUD" because you mistakenly believe that if you shut up opinions you don't like than you make-believe cryptomoney will rise in value?

Let's talk about something that's FACT. You spend your time bashing on something on a forum that's dedicated to it. Where's the logic in that?

One of the first things my mother taught me was that if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all. While it's maybe not applicable to people who actually make logical arguments against bitcoin and want to discuss their perspective. It's certainly applicable to statements such as 'it is make-believe toy money with no real value apart from some novelty value for people who like to have cryptos for fun'

You came to a forum where you know people support the thing you are saying has no value. I have to ask you why?

The same way you see no value in Bitcoin you obviously do not value your own time as it was wasted posting this sort of topic on this forum.

Wow OP. You are an epic shit poster and FUD starter.

Coke for $2000 $500 Huh Which is it?? Who buys coke for that?

"It is make-believe toy money with no real value apart from some novelty value for people who like to have cryptos for fun"

Lol Then how did I just pay for my mining rig in bitcoin? My video games in bitcoin. My Xbox and ps4 both paid for with bitcoin. My 4 pairs of shoes I paid with using bitcoins. I've bought office supplies and craft supplies with bitcoin too. I can even buy a car with bitcoin if I like.

You, sir, are a fucking idiot.

It's your opinion, but what it lacks is sense and reasoning.
You think it has no real life value? But I can go to a nearby ATM and wire money directly from my exchange, turn it into cash and by whatever I need in the store. Damn, I've just bought a couple things on Amazon with those "toy money" you're talking about.
Your comparison to coca cola is apples and oranges. I won't pay $2000 or $500 for a can of cola if I can buy it in a nearby store for less than a dollar. Why would I pay 500 times more for something widely available?

You didn't answer the question - your trust in Bitcoin is clearly so low that you are afraid that a few words against it will hurt the value. And in that you are correct because the only "value" is based on people's perception of value and every day since the peak at 20.000 more and more people abandon it because they have seen that the party is over

A can of coca cola is just $1 mate. Why you pay so much? Its very special coca cola or what?
Its real story or what? In my country, any kind of softdrink just worth $1, i dont drink cocacola but i drink another softdrink.

You clearly do not understand the post

And if you can't even understand such a simple comparison, you are a very good example showing why Bitcoin is purely driven by people with no financial understanding hoping to get rich quick. You will eventually be sorry you put money into it.

And in that you are correct because the only "value" is based on people's perception of value and every day since the peak at 20.000 more and more people abandon it because they have seen that the party is over

Firstly, it is FUD because you do not provide any sound logical arguments or evidence. All you do is spout nonsense like "make-believe" and "toy money".

Secondly, there's an awful lot of things in the world where the value is based solely on people's perception. Why do people spend thousands on diamond rings, jewellery, expensive clothes, expensive cars, expensive watches, Apple products, etc, etc, when they could spend a fraction of the price for a cheaper but just as functional product? Perception. Perception drives the economy.

Third, you were spreading your FUD and telling people to sell at a huge loss at 6k USD. Hopefully no one listened to your awful advice now we are (predictably) on the way up again.

At least you admit that it is fun. We are having fun as well with our toy money. And we have been doing this for nine years. We are trading this toy money 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The toy money that never rest. The toy money with a public ledger. Is better than your 'My precious'.

On the one hand it is true. However, people buy paintings for million $ because they believe that it is good price for this art. So any price of any thing is determined by people mind..and BTC is not exclusion
