is Bitcoin a wave or a particle?

[cbeast]

If you watch the price constantly it seems to randomly go up and down and sideways.  If you don't watch it and look at its history it seems to form patterns.

Heh.. You are right but this is obvious and from those patters people make their predictions

But still price is unpredictable IMO. It is indeed waving randomly up and down...

A particle surrounded by a wave...

everytime it gets to a nice high price, is like traders do a big sell off to make profits we need more btc involvment without to many traders

Nope, it is a cycle of panic mass buying and panic mass selling.

A Bitcoin doesn't change over time i.e. it's always = 1. This rules out the possibility that bitcoin is a wave.

The mass of a bitcoin = 0 i.e. it's entirely virtual. This rules out the possibility that it's a particle.

And if you want to argue that photons have 0 mass and are particles, well just go ahead and prove that.

If Bitcoin is a wave, its energy will eventually go down to 0. Boom, experiment over.

When using a Light Wallet, it's...wait for it...both.

Yep, everyone is just trying to escape from the hell that is wage-work in capitalism.

They are all speculating on whether Bitcoin is their ticket to freedom, or yet another cruel financial trap like so much else in our lives.

its a pulse.

when there is nothing to worry about, there is a stable resting pulse rate. but when a panic attack occurs the pulse becomes erratic

A bitcoin is a bitcoin. It's the first of it's kind, so I don't think it can be classified under any other term.

I say this is a participle wave
Isn't?

[the_sunship]

for the vast majority, bitcoin is still a wave because they don't understand it. With understanding and experience, it becomes a particle.

check it out. We are like the shaman...

Bitcoin is a series of speculative bubbles on top of a 'real value' bubble.

So Bitcoin is like the head of a really good beer?

Bitcoin is quantum - the moment you look at it , it changes

I used to think about two trading sentiments greed-fear ... but actually is easier to me think in terms of euphoria-depression ... the crypto currency market sounds like it's made by pump-dumpers-wolfs ... and I am kind of long term personality investor ... ... so sell on euphoria and buy on depression ...

Looks like we're at the anxiety level right now, with the holders getting anxious and annoyed at China.

This reminds me of those "schools of psychology" were were told about in high school along with stages of grieving and wanting to kill your dad so you can have sex with your mom. It's all bullshit.

Euphoria was about 5 months ago. That's rather a large gap between that and anxiety no?
