Here is why you should buy, and buy now
Okay, let me be your devil's advocate here
-BTC is not dead. There is no reason for btc to die, the only way would be to stop all mining but that's simply not possible as anyone can mine, even you
While technically true, it is not what most people are looking for in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies most of the time. Those who you appeal to in your post ("investors") are looking for profits, fiat gains and basically nothing else. So your assumption is kinda cold comfort to them even if it is true in and of itself. Bitcoin is a survivor but for most people it is its price not its tenacity which matters most
-Already 83% of BTC has been mined. That means a very small inflation. You need only a very small investment to keep the price of btc stable. That's not the case of dollars or euro you know... They get printed over and over
Scarcity doesn't mean utility and without the latter cannot be a guarantee of any kind in respect to future value. There were enough shitcoins which had a monetary inflation rate way lower than that of Bitcoin (42Coin being the most notorious example), and it didn't make them valuable. In other words, your comparison with fiat monies will only make sense if the utilities of Bitcoin and these monies are either the same or remain the same
-BTC has a real life purpose. Using WU to transfer money is hundreds of time more expensive than using BTC. BTC isn't made for daily purchases but it can handle large amount transfer like nothing else
This is likely the only worthy argument you have made so far. But then again, while it is true and without doubt important for the long-term success of Bitcoin as a means of payment, it may not actually mean higher prices, which seems to be your point. In fact, there are strong reasons to believe it is the lower prices that will actually lead to expansion in this field, not the other way around
-Next halving is in less than two years:
https://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/If you don't know what halving is, just remember that halving means less BTC mined means price increase
The same point as the one about scarcity. Other than that, you already said yourself just a couple lines above that there is not much left to mine, so the effect of the reward halving shouldn't be great anyway, apart from the regular hype and noise. Though I don't expect this hype to be of great influence now either for the reasons stated (not much to mine). If anything, it is going to add to volatility initially and will take time to have a long-lasting effect
-Market value is already in the 63 billions. For the price to stay the same, you need only a few billions considering the small increase of coins
Market value or market capitalization is completely irrelevant here given that most bitcoins are already mined as you yourself state. Basically, you are just saying that it is easier for the price to stay the same just because it is small. I wouldn't call the current price small as we have been above or at it only for a little over a year in ten years of Bitcoin history. In short, there is enough "price" to crash lower
-Tons of coins get lost. I'm not even sure the number of BTC is actually increasing if you consider the people losing their private keys, the people dying without handing their coins, the amount of dust btc lost in small wallets...
It can be said that with fees going lower and with good chances of continuing in that direction further on, the amount of untransferrable dust is set to decrease eventually. Besides, the coins lost are already priced in anyway, so there is not much you can actually rely on in this department. More will be lost in the future, but this is an obvious example of a poor man's argument
-Not a single solution has been provided to avoid another world financial crisis. Banks and government are still exactly doing the same thing. And at the next financial crisis, when governments will have to print billions and billions to bail out the banks, what currency will not get inflation in any way? Yeah you goddamn right
While there is little doubt that hard times are lying ahead of us, there is not a single reason to think that it is going to help Bitcoin somehow. It will most certainly be gold and not Bitcoin that wealthy people will be looking for to save their wealth in. If anything, I wouldn't rely on this either. In fact, the global economic crisis can easily crash Bitcoin into the ground instead of raising it to the sky
-For anyone in countries not 100% safe (means anyone except USA, France UK and Germany). Remember governments and banks simply prevented any citizen to get their money from their bank account with the Greek crisis. They will never be able to freeze your coins
That makes some sense as we have already seen something to that tune in the past (or even see now with Venezuela). But back then Bitcoin was highly undervalued and on the rise anyway, so it looked like a good emergency-exit vehicle. That may or may not be the case now, provided we are actually going to see something similar to the Cypriot financial crisis again. Simply put, we are already using Bitcoin for these purposes
