BITCOIN IN 2024:
Bear Case Scenarios:
Warren Buffet famously said “You can’t value Bitcoin because it’s not a value-producing asset…If you buy something like Bitcoin or some cryptocurrency, you don’t really have anything that has produced anything. You’re just hoping the next guy pays more.”
Charlie Munger has taken a tougher stance - he's called it “Rat Poison that will go to Zero,” that it’s “crazy, stupid gambling - anyone who disagrees is an idiot,” and compares it to - and I quote: “Somebody Else Is Trading Turds And You Decide, I Can't Be Left Out.”
The CEO of JP Morgan, Jamie Dimon, also agrees with this, slamming it as “worthless and a tool for criminals,” and then famously drawing comparisons to smoking, where - you have a right to use and own it - but, it’s bad for you.
An economics professor at Harvard also makes the argument that “People in power will move to regulate anonymous transactions. That you can be sure of."
Deutsche Bank also surveyed their customers, with the majority believing that it will fall below $20,000 by year old.
Bull Case Scenarios:
The asset manager of 3IQ says that his “mid- to high-range price target for bitcoin this year at between $160,000 and $180,000. Next year, it anticipates an eye-popping target of $350,000 to $450,000.”
Another analyst also arrived at a $150,000 price target by assuming “$10 billion inflows for 2024 and another $60 billion for 2025," while Cathie Wood believes that $1 MILLION bitcoin could happen around 2030. Robert Kiyosaki says he thinks that a single Bitcoin will one day be worth $2.3 million dollars.
Some people also cite past performance after the Bitcoin halving, in which - so far - prices have increased in the following 18 months.
My Thoughts:
Fortune recently published a fantastic piece about how Cryptocurrency is seen as “intergeneration revenge” on the financial system, and for the first time - people can take complete ownership of their own money - and, I agree. Of course, with that comes some potentially disastrous risks - but, so far - for those that have bought and held Bitcoin - they’ve been correct.
That’s why I believe - sure, something like Bitcoin has its purpose and it could one day be worth a LOT more money - but, as many times have shown - it could also drop a substantial amount, and that needs to be considered.

Once again you're very confused about the technicals of bitcoin. Time and the halving have nothing to do with the mining difficulty. Like gold, the bitcoin mining becomes more difficult depending on how many people are trying to mine it. Also, it should be said the Max Keiser and Peter Schiff are actually buddies. As you probably know, all these rich people went to school together and know each other. Max has been telling Peter to buy bitcoin since it was at 10 dollars or something. When it was at a thousand Max was at Peter's house telling him again to buy it and the only one who would listen was Peter's son Spencer.

"There was this one time that bitcoin went from $0.06 all the way to $0.36 and then crashed down to $0.21 And then another time, bitcoin went from $0.85 all the way to $29.58 and then it crashed to $3.00 And then another time, bitcoin went all the way to $213 and then it crashed all the way to $70 And then another time, bitcoin went all the way to $1100 and then it crashed all the way to $239." This was an observation made in a video called "Don't Buy Bitcoin. It's going to Crash!!!". That video was made in 2015. Bitcoin keeps crashing higher.

[@deadMoney2k12]

It's like falling up stairs, isn't it?

Yeah the whole market had a major outflow of capital from that hot cpi report. Inflation sticky but mostly monopoly from grocery stores. Greedflation. So the major outflow was really some of the new etfs

Any large, powerful organization will probably have someone from Harvard involved, as it's a top university in the world. You could probably say the same thing about Yale, Stanford, Oxford, etc.

The only reason why I don't see Bitcoin going to $1M is because there has not been a use case for it, outside just storing it or trading it. When there is a wide use case, not a possible use case, then it will shoot up to $1M, and only when the US dollar gets printed excessively and becomes USeless

[@GrahamStephan]

Let's see - I've constantly underestimated it, even 4 years ago, never would've imagined it trading where it is today

[@panashejmombeshora4021]

​@@GrahamStephan Same here. I know that the idea of the coin reaching $1M is an optimistic guess, but from a metrics perspective, it's not too impossible. It would have to 4X, then 4X again. It's not too inconceivable

The ethos of Peter Schiff: "Say there is a crash coming but don't predict an actual date or time.. because then if there ever IS a crash, you were right. And if there ISN'T a crash, don't worry, it's still coming. You're right either way." It's what he's done for everything econ related, not just Bitcoin.

Bought a house last year instead of Bitcoin. I think I made the right decision

[@GrahamStephan]

Hindsight is always going to be 20/20...but ultimately, no one wants to just hold bitcoin - they tend to only want it to eventually buy the things they need

[@connorbourgeois]

So you bought a home in the highest possible housing market? I'm not saying a positive or negative thing about that choice, but I just don't see that being an argument against Bitcoin. Graham also has a point, most people buy BTC to then allow it to grow, sell it back for cash, and then buy what they want with that cash.

[@Josh-py9rq]

I bought bitcoin after selling my condo for a nice profit close to the bottom for bitcoin around 16k I think I made the right decision

Correction- mining does not get harder from the halving event. The amount that is produced from finding a block is cut in half. The difficulty is adjusted by the amount of miners in the network.

[@NicholasBall130]

I consider the introduction of a Bitcoin ETF to be a watershed moment in the financial markets. Normally, I wouldn't buy-and-hold assets, but eight months ago, I spent more than $300,000, and it warms my heart that this is still happening. We are now approaching a bull run, and I am confident that I will regain everything I lost.

[@StocksWolf752]

Most people find it difficult to handle a fall since they are used to bull markets, but if you know where to look and how to maneuver, you can make a size-able profit. Depending on how you intend to enter and exit, yes.

[@StacieBMui]

The only issue you may have is a fear of missing out, just like everyone else. Having the right plan is invaluable; my portfolio is well-suited to each season of the market and recently increased by 100% since early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7-figure ballpark goal, which could take until Q3 this year.

[@cowell621]

"Have fun staying poor" lmao! "Investing" in such risky gambles will ensure you stay poor. Think on this, to make $1,000,000 now off of bitcoin assuming bitcoin eventually reaches 100,000$ per coin, you would need to risk $620,000 of your money. Only someone very rich (which means that person will be staying away from bitcoin in general to protect their wealth the have now) or someone in a position to minipulate bitcoing would ever be willing to take such gambles.

So you think you could do it better with stocks then?
