Bitcoin after the collapse of the Dollar

[Lauda]

USD: I can make a bunch of cash transactions under $5,000 and it's not recorded anywhere
Bitcoin: I can make a bunch of transactions and every single one of them is viewable by everyone in a global database.  NSA's wet dream, how ironic.

People may or may not agree with your points here. But this one is absolutely wrong. How can anyone trace a BTC10 transaction back to you, unless you publish your wallet ID? 

Bitcoin is truly anonymous, if you know how to use it. NSA can't really do much here.

move to crypto is only a matter of time.

I just wonder what we'll have after 30 years 

We'll have a world that is better in some ways, and worse in others.

If the fed continues to taper we are heading to a deflation and a collapse in the stocks markets dragging along everything else including bitcoin.

Weak economy = Lower interest rates to encourage buying = Stronger USD  

low interest rates make people borrow more dollars.
every borrowed dollar is a new printed dollar.
printing dollars causes inflation and weakens the dollar.

The biggest scam in the history of the world...

Yes, over a long period of time the dollar eventually weakens but I'm talking shorter lengths like a bear market.

During weak economic times like the great recession, the dollar was strong and mighty.  Reason being, other currencies fled to the dollar thus higher demand.

Russia has so much oil, they should be strong during a "Global economic collapse".
The USA also has huge amounts of oil, but our debt is off the charts ridiculous.

Yes. Partially correct. Both Russia and the US have huge deposits of petroleum. But there is a fundamental difference between the two. Russia is a net exporter of oil (out of the 11.9 million barrels they produce every day, they export some 9 million barrels, either as crude oil or as refined products). On the other hand, the US is a net importer of oil (they produce around 10 million barrels every day, but also imports another 14 million barrels, especially from Mexico and the OPEC).

I love this thread, and we should all endeavor to keep it on page 1
