Gold collapsing. Bitcoin UP.

[NotLambchop]

Nonsense, there are infinite perspectives.

Over the past 24 hours bitcoin has proven a better investment than fiat.

We can both pick any part of the fractal to agree with our own stance.

Fiat is a faith based money, anyone with half a brain knows fiat is not tenable in the long term. It's issuance is controlled by a few families who are FAR richer than us, their wealth wasn't accrued through labor.

You should study some history rather than browsing my little pony sites.

Over the past year, holding Bitcoin has provided a 0% risk of being confiscated via negative interest rates.

The increase in purchasing power of fiat relative to Bitcoin over the last year has correspond with an increased amount of risk.

Whether or not that makes Bitcoin or fiat a "better" investment depends on one's preferences.

@Cortex7:
Over the past year, Bitcoin has proven itself to be a horrendous store of value, losing ~65% of its buying power. 
Your bit about "a few families [controlling fiat]" makes it clear that, with your understanding of economics, all would benefit if you spent your idle time "browsing my little pony sites" instead of posting your ignorant, paranoid drivel in adult fora.

@justusranvier:  There was no "increase in purchasing power of fiat" over the past year.  My dollar doesn't buy any more than it did one year ago.
There was a decrease in Bitcoin's buying power, tho.  ~65%.  Nice going.

subjective timeframe is subjective

[NotLambchop]

^There is no such thing as a "subjective timeframe."  In logic nerd terms, what you maked thar is an ill-formed statement.

If you wish to suggest the timeframe is random, you're wrong.  Nothing random about choosing a year when discussing yearly inflation.

Well how about I suggest discussing historical inflation.

[NotLambchop]

You can suggest it, though that's not what is being currently discussed.  Further, Bitcoin's lifespan is so laughably short, "historical" was probably not the word you were looking for

[cypherdoc]

nice gap down, baby.

Gold collapsing.  Bitcoin UP:

You can suggest it, though that's not what is being currently discussed.  Further, Bitcoin's lifespan is so laughably short, "historical" was probably not the word you were looking for

And a year is even more short.

Bottom line is the purchasing power of Bitcoin over USD has considerably increased over its lifetime.

Your perspective is supported by a laughably short sample of time in the context of store of value.

[cypherdoc]

remember the VIX chart i posted on Friday?  it looks like we're due for a new bit of volatility in equity markets.  i also would suggest that a rising USD, which is continuing tonite, is BAD for stocks in the long run.  money is debt and debt is money.  since most stock bulls are fueled by debt, a rising USD severely limits returns in stocks.  a lot of factors are coming into convergence right about now which could propel Bitcoin upwards:

now this is ugly:

Yes.  At inception, BTC was worth zero, nothing.  Any price increase from zero constitutes an infinite appreciation.  Nice to know you can math.

I use the past year when discussing yearly inflation.  What is it you still find unusual/difficult to understand here?

There's only so far gold can dump. I don't know how far that is, but we must be getting warm by now
