It a Ponzi scheme, people who bought at the low convince other people to invest thereby artificially raising the price, then when the prices reach high enough, the early investors all sell for massive profits leaving the late comers with the bag

What gives these commodities value in a modern fiat economy without much tangible uses for it? I think whatever the answer to that is is similar to why bitcoin has any value --- I don't know my gimmick ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ki_cat_ posted...What ever gave it value? Why is it worth anything at this point? What the hell can they be used on? Why is it better than money? Elaborate. And yes. Gold and silver were valuable because it's what the mass wanted. It goes a bit deeper than that bit crypto currency has no tangible use that I see. Gold and silver still have a lot of use but I don't really know why they're always in value or what exactly makes them valuable. --- People are afraid of what they don't understand. ...

Gold and silver has less uses than Bitcoin in the real world, Im fairly confident of that. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, those who want to remain anonymous, or even want lower fees for money transactions, bitcoin is a solid alternative to traditional fiat. Theres hundreds of thousands of bitcoin transactions done daily, the uses of gold and silver for tangible applications on a daily basis seems far lower than the current use of bitcoin --- I don't know my gimmick ...

People who invest in BTC are flighty in general, so highs are higher and lows are lower. It's just a normal market correction in crypto, but bitcoin is slowly being surpassed by superior coins, so it's crashing extra hard

This is an annual slump from the holiday rush, just greatly exacerbated by the massive pump that was based on nothing thanks to people who had no idea what bitcoin was jumping on the bandwagon expecting to multiply their money. Now as the annual slump hits they all panic sell which leads to an even harder dip.
We'll see what the markets look like an April or May. --- ~Dr. FishyStick| Welcome Back. http://i.imgur.com/z50xS2H.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Kazi1212 posted...Gold and silver has less uses than Bitcoin in the real world, Im fairly confident of that. Actually, gold has lower conductivity than copper, but it's used on electrical contacts because it doesn't tarnish like copper or silver. Silver is actually the most conductive metal, but it's not that much better than copper, and significantly more expensive, while copper is also relatively easy to pull into wires. --- "I'm the straightest guy on this board.

But a lot of devices use a combination of gold, silver, and copper. But gold, copper, and silver are the best metals for electric conductivity if I'm not mistaken.

word on the street is chinese whales are cashing out for chinese new year and the dip in price has scared the masses into selling, which lowered the price even further. imo, it'll probably rise up once tax season ends.

Literally a bunch of people just randomly guessing ITT.
It's because of tether. It's a coin that was made with the assurance that it would be a 1 to 1 with the USD, and people were trading a shit ton of bitcoin and stuff with it using it to artificially inflate the coinconomy, despite it having no real reason to be worth a real USD, other than people saying it's supposed to. And now the people who made it got a subpeona and it's under doubt that they have the real money to back it up, so everyone started selling in fear. For all the people crying PONZI PONZI, tether is the real Ponzi scheme. --- Dot Dot Dot... ... Copied to Clipboard!
