    • Just peeked at my schwab account. I'm (more than probably) losing more money in the stock market than most people are losing bitcoin. It's painful, but still throwing money biweekly into the abattoir.

      • Most assets will mean revert to their fundamentals over time, the problem with Bitcoin, no one knows what that is, it is is $10 usd or $100,000 usd.

            True, but BTC does not have the world's largest military and largest economy behind it.

                    the price is the price, ive said it before, only buy long term, just like anything else.

                    it goes to zero or it goes up. a buyer should be fine with either scenario. all bitcoin has to do is survive. and meanwhile, fundamentals of what bitcoin is are still just fine. fixed supply, blocks every 10 minutes, permissionless, censorship resistant transactions

                      There is no fair price, since it has no earnings. It's a highly volatile & speculative store of value. The current price is based on macro conditions, sentiment, and narrative, that's it.

                      The most important thing is risk management, so IF you wanted to hold it for the long term, nothing more than 1-5% of portfolio. So if it fails, it doesn't change your long term financial plans.

                      Also important to rebalance quarterly, so you sell during bubbles, and buy during capitulation bear markets.

                      • If you dont know what are fair price is, how can you determine if it is a good investment ?

                        It does not work well as a store of value, because as far as I can see , it does not store value well. Unless you consider a 13% decline in the value in 1 day a good store of value.

                        • what's a fair price for anything?

                          boglehead fundamentals are long term buy and hold, not active investing determine the value of something and then buy at a price below that value.

                            Humans should not kill each other but they do and they have and they always will. BTC isn't going to change that.

                              That's why its a speculative store of value. Meaning uncertain.

                                agree it wont change it. but, historically money (mostly gold) was protected by violence bc it had to be, bc it was easily confiscated

                                now the US defends the USD reserve status with violence bc we have to, after abandoning the gold standard and making a deal with the middle east to price their oil in dollars which is why we turn a blind eye to the atrocities committed by some of those people

                                btc is protected by cryptography so it doesn't need to be defended by violence
