A clear indicator that ATHs are on their way!
Here is my reaction to some of the arguments brought forward by this article:
1. “Today, Bitcoin transactions are still inconvenient, slow, and costly.”
Reaction: Lighting Network anyone?
#Bitcoin is not perfect, and a lot more work is needed, but the internet in 1991 was not perfect either. It takes time!
2. “Bitcoin is still not suitable as an investment.”
Hold Euros and I have a GUARANTEE that it will be massively devalued in 10 years time.
The value of #Bitcoin lays in its value proposition, a permissionless, decentralized peer-to-peer payment system which has its own currency that cannot be inflated.
3. “Mining of Bitcoin using the proof of work mechanism continues to pollute the environment”
Reaction: This has been debunked over and over again. Research proves that over 50% of mining energy comes from renewables. A fair comparison would be to compare the global banking system’s total energy consumption and emissions.
4. Quote: “Bitcoin has been characterised by price manipulation”
Reaction: Quantitative easing, quantitative tightening, and interest rate adjustments. Does that sound like manipulation?
5. Quote: “Bitcoin remains the top choice for money laundering in the digital world”
Reaction: Lol
No one launders in Euro. Ever. Promise 🤦
Looking forward to the day the ECB puts BTC on its balance sheet. It will be glorious.
