Good example why shitcoiners always fall back on baser tribalism to promote their grifts.
They get torched on technical & ethical merit every time.
The term "bitcoin maxi" was created by Vitalik for this very purpose.
@DeItaone There's a reason most traders short the bottom in markets...
I'd be much more concerned if "prediction markets" though btc was going to 100k.
Sound money doesn't need to be "backed by" anything.
It just needs the properties of sound money and people will keep it as a store of value and use it as a medium of exchange.
Scarcity
Durability
Fungibility
Divisibility
Portability
"Bitcoin isn't backed by anything."
Let me stop you right there.
Bitcoin is backed by energy. Real energy. Kilowatts. Heat. Physics.
The kind of backing you can't print, fake, or vote into existence at an emergency Fed meeting.
Every block mined is a thermodynamic proof of work. Not a promise. Not a policy. Proof.
The issuance schedule has never been amended by a committee. Not once. Not ever. Because there is no committee.
There's just math. Cold, indifferent, and immune to political theater.
The network is secured by more raw computing power than anything humanity has ever built. Hundreds of exahashes per second standing guard. Every single day.
Now let's talk about what is backed by nothing.
The dollar.
It's is backed by confidence. Specifically, confidence in the institution that printed $6 trillion in two years while telling you 3% inflation was healthy and you should be grateful for the soft landing.
In the same people who can't pass an audit.
Who fund wars with a credit card.
Who promise solvency while sitting on $39 trillion in debt and accelerating.
"Backed by nothing" isn't an attack on Bitcoin.
It's a confession about the dollar.
Follow if you're serious about building wealth they can't print away.
IMO "backing" is an attempt to understand or argue why an asset possesses one or more of the sound money attributes.
The qualities themselves are what matters as the "backing" has potential to change over time.
IE glass beads as money were "backed by" difficulty to manufacture... until they weren't.
Shitcoiners falling like fliesโฆ
Remember when this guy confidently claimed his crap token would overtake Bitcoin?
Yeah he still got rich thoughโฆ while everyone who followed his advice was financially ruinedโฆ
