It was under 4k this time last year and just a few months ago in December and is already back above 5,5k. Whenever everyone else is selling it's usually a good time to buy.

I thought Bitcoin was supposed to go up when traditional society crumbles. perhaps the problem is that cryptos turned out to not really be what they were touted as.. (decentralized currencies)... if you remember, that was the big selling point and then it became "well XYZ company is already implementing block chain!" .... which is great but if all of these companies are utilizing block chain, then block chain is bound to go down when the broader markets go down and in the end, crypto currency just became another centralized payment method.

Alias Detective 1,400 Posted March 20, 2020 Could be a great time to consider this technology regarding currency. Debit or credit only may be the new norm due to potential viral transmission on paper currency. Maybe it’s the weed but just my hunch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yup, in the past I think prices have increased. Curious whether @iam90sbaby thinks the price will go up again this time or whether it's already baked in.

There will only be 21 million bitcoins when they are all fully mined, when they created it they wanted it to replicate gold and theyve already mined over 15 million of them so they are probably just trying to slow that entire process down. I'm in it for the long haul so my answer is yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
