Why Bitcoin is a Massively Underrated Opportunity in Today’s Macroeconomy

[stkoz]

Greetings Bitcointalk!

I am very excited to share my latest long-form article called "Bitcoin is the Move". It makes a strong case on why Bitcoin is a great investment in today's macroeconomic landscape.
We all know and love BTC. Here I lay out why the recent macroeconomic shifts have made the case for it stronger and really have made it a no-brainer move for the average finance person who does not understand its intricacies and value proposition thoroughly. Presented with everything else in context, the investment looks obvious.

If you have time, I believe you will very much enjoy reading and may learn something from the piece:

after I read the article that you suggest, and in my opinion quite good and very actual.
This has become a new knowledge for me personally, how the upheaval of the situation before and after the pandemic.
I agree that it seems as if fiat money has become useless, which during a pandemic how to get it is more difficult than owning crypto. of course this is different from those who have large finances in their wallets. they can last long enough, and can get through a pandemic.

maybe I need to read your article twice, because if I read it once it will be very difficult to remember.

You can explain it as long as you want but at the end of the day we are talking about something that we crypto people know already and not shocking to us, this needs to catch the eye of some people who have money to invest but not involved in crypto right now.

The reason for that is crypto people are already here on bitcointalk where you share, we already know that bitcoin and few other good altcoins are great investments for us, and we should put our money into it because we believe in it, however this is promoting crypto as well so there is really no reason to do it to us. BUT! if you do it to people who are on like .. wall street maybe? I don't know rich people who are looking for profits, and convince them with it, that would actually make a lot of sense.

You are right, it's greatly undervalued, but its value is based on people's perception. How do you value something that isn't physical and that another person cannot value for you? For instance, stocks have their IMO price and knowing the value of the company and their yearly revenue you can decide whether it's a good or a bad price. Bitcoin doesn't have anything like this, that's why many people think it's overvalued and in a bubble, while in reality it is not.

Your article really speaks to Nakatomo Satoshi's mind when he decided to create Bitcoin. Thank you so much for showing me another new perspective from another smart person.
But to me, fiat money is still very important. It may not play its role well during the economic downturns, but it also has a lot of historical and political significance. Every fiat currency carries the history and value of that country. It is easy for us to judge what is a developed country and which is a underdeveloped country. Maybe Bitcoin for the moment can help everyone, but in the future fiat money will still dominate Bitcoin.

Proving the argument that bitcoin is the best investment will be easy because almost anyone who invests in bitcoin has not made a loss as long as he continues to hold it, even those who bought at $ 19,000.

The problem is not in the best investment, but how to get more bitcoin by investing using Dollar average cost, buying altcoin, invest using ICO, IEO, DEFI, trading and other investment methods.

as lazy investor, buying bitcoin and selling it will make you gain some extra free USD

But those people who have bought in 2017 ATH were for sure at loss, cut loss, and didn't mind selling at loss. I don't know anyone who has held until now that bought during that time. And if there's someone that has managed to endure all the painful trends in 2018-2019 and successfully saw it back on $19,000. He's a survivor.

Strong holders can easily do that but those who have bought at that peak were mostly newbies and have no idea what they're buying. This time, there's a lot of newer investors but wiser than them.

To a layman, it is all just about the price. For someone who is not even an average finance person, who does not even read much, barely knows something about economics, it is just a matter of simple math. Bitcoin was around $5,000 in March, $7,000 in April, $8,000 in May, and so on until it reaches $19,000 in November. Now, that alone already makes a very strong case.

The next challenge is to keep them hodling or even buying even in the face of Bitcoin reaching a new ATH. Well, a simple math would still do. There are around 18.5 million Bitcoin in circulation, almost 8 billion people around the world, 1% of which owns Bitcoin, more than a quadrillion of money in all forms around the world, and only a little more than $350 billion in Bitcoin market cap. Now, that somehow explains why Bitcoin is undervalued.

That's one of the longest medium posts I've ever seen. #claps

True.


The problem is that ordinary people may not be financially literate or don't have the money to invest. They just take the monthly paycheck and have a little bit of savings (or none at all). I still think the best investment for average people is investing in themselves and their skills to earn more money.

My browser crashed,while trying to load this gigantic wall of text and graphics.
After 10 mins of trying to load,I finally managed to read your article and you have some good points here and there.
Are you so desperate to make money with Medium?Are you enrolled in the Medium partner program?
Anyways,if you are trying to convince people to invest in Bitcoin with this article,then I can say that you will have a hard time.
If I was a Bitcoin noob,I would be bored to death,while reading this wall of text and charts.
By the way,where are you from?You have a Slavic name,so I assume that you are from Eastern Europe.

It really isn't underrated tbh, just that majority don't know of it, or know of it as a scam, and those that actually know, are quite frank, scared of what would happen if the bubble of 2017 happened again if they tried to invest. A lot of people were hit by that tbh, they tried to join in on the crypto train, only to discover that it would drop off to depressing levels, investors losing quite a huge amount depending on the amount of investment they made.

But really, instead of that wall of text and images, just post the growth levels of the Bitcoin market. It'd be a lot better as persuasive evidence for newbies than graphs of a lot of stuff related to finance, which they don't probably even know about.

[Strongkored]

a long article and I can say well prepared.
Many members of this forum will surely agree that Bitcoin is an investment but not for people who only know partially about or even only know from bad news about Bitcoin. whatever it is, if you consider Bitcoin as an investment, you must also understand about its shortcomings and understand all the risks of losing not only about the price that goes down but also how to keep it safe so hackers can't touch our Bitcoin.

If things are well decentralized, safe, easy for people to use and moral, I believe alots of people around the world will be bold enough to introduce crypto to others without much problems.
No good person will deliberately introduce things to people they will regret later.
In my opinion, Bitcoin is the only top cryptocurrency (as far as I can tell) I'm abit sure about.     It's also better than the fiats currencies most people use today. So, I could take that risk knowing they would eventually see why it's better than their fiats.
However, if anyone could easily run full nodes, take part in consensus, fully own their assets, etc, I especially will be very willing to introduce Bitcoin/crypto to many people

Thanks for the article. I agree with you that bitcoins is a great long term investment. I have been holding bitcoins for years now and try to recommend my friends to do the same. Even if the rally is not going to be as good as in the past, bitcoins should be a great tool to store value.

I bought some BTC in December 2017 for $ 19,000.   I don’t think this is a tragedy. 

Bitcoin should always be bought.  Any price is good.  If you bought bitcoin in December 2017 for $ 19,000, who stopped you from buying it later for $ 3,500?  As a result, the average purchase price will be good.  Bitcoin is a deflationary asset.  There are bear traders and there are bull traders.  But there are also bitcoin holders whose motto is Hodl!  People believe that Bitcoin is the future of the financial system. 

The ideological component in Bitcoin is very important.

[FlightyPouch]

Not all of us would be able to put our money into bitcoin. It is true that bitcoin is underrated but some of them is not actually using it because of the fact that they can't since they have a limited source of funds and they are too busy earning for their family that they don't have enough money for investing or buying bitcoin.

[Husires]

Presenting strong arguments does not mean that they will happen, but if it is true that any financial crisis will prove whether Bitcoin is a safe haven or is just an investment on risk.
We are talking about investment and not experimenting with a service. Therefore, investment is based on plans, analyzes and a prediction attempt that may give real results.

[Oceat]

I've seen most businessmen don't want to invest in a high risk investment like crypto because they are certain that it would fail. Of course, it would fail if you don't understand about what did you invested plus the news about Bitcoin is not as good as what we know because the media is somehow spreading some rumors without even knowing the essence of crypto currency especially  Bitcoin.

[dothebeats]

Maybe because the majority of the people are not really risk-takers and would like to play things safely even though the risk is decreased over time as bitcoin matures and as it appreciates in value. This is why a lot of people are stuck on their cycles of lives is because they don’t take chances like this when it presents itself, thinking that they’re better off doing that 9-5 as it puts food on the table. Add to that the general laziness of people to crunch in new information that could prove beneficial to them if they only allot a few minutes of their 24-hr day into something. I blame Man’s innate fondness of taking the safer, and longer path than taking risks on quite dangerous ones that rewards handsomely in the end. Many of these people look at bitcoin with skepticism and a lot of negatives on their minds, even though bitcoin has been proving itself for more than a decade now with consistency.

I do believe that there is a case to be made about how bitcoin is in the finance world but also outside of the finance world that makes it a great investment. Think about it, we are talking about creating something that is decentralized and can't be changed in its nature, but the rich and whales could come in , buy in hundreds of millions, change the price of it, and speculate it.

Now the initial part where the system can't be changed because someone is rich, that part makes it outside of finance world, it is not at the hands of anyone and that is awesome news, but the second part where it is involved with speculation and manipulation makes the rich people not stay away, so they get trapped into our decentralized finance world because they want to make money. This is why it is awesome.
