Off topic but I just ordered the Havamal. Went on a binge after ordering the Odyssey and a book with a bunch of Greek plays.

True but the individual price of a unit has no bearing on it’s value as an inestment. Just like companies that never split their stock vs. those that do. It doesn’t matter if your money buys you a hundred shares worth a thousand each or a thousand shares worth a hundred each.

A rogue country isn’t going to care about what price they are paying for Bitcoin because it’s not for investment. It’s for hiding payments.

True but they are selling at some point so it should not lkeep the price high forever. Same with the Chinese who used Bitcoin for capital flight. Price didn't matter to them either even at $20k. But the selling pressure eventually catches up.

Granted and the market will be less volatile in when the big players come in full steam ahead.

The market did go up 30 Billion in 24 hours.

how vulnerable such a small total market is to price manipulation

Exactly. That's why you can take technical patterns like the one shown in post #12 with a grain of virtual salt. I am a long time hodlr and have every incentive to talk the price up. But the trading since $3000 is 99% manipulation.

“As many as you can afford.”

How many can you spend at the grocery store?

I can’t imagine any legitimate reason to buy $100 million dollars worth of bitcoin. There are untold number of ways to invest that amount of money in options or futures that are far more liquid and much more likely to appreciate significantly. Betting the farm on a technology that has no legitimate use case seem like money laundering not investing.

Adoption is happening.

You remind me of the horse and buggy guys at the turn of the century just as the car is coming into play.

Accepting “Brave Browser/BAT crypto” payments and tips would be a good first step...a new revenue stream for FR.

Right. I think that’s why the collapse occurred the first time and it could easily happen again. Iran or the Norks were in bitcoin for a transaction, not for the long haul. Whoever it was that they paid got out of that position and then there was no support for the bubble.
