Calls itself a """currency"""

You put the gold in a reserve then make paper notes that are backed by them.

Bitcoin became a store of value. It certainly should not be called a currency, that's for sure.

I wonder if it's too far-fetched to think that one day 1 BTC will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

muh lightning in two years maybe

enjoy those high fees and shit tx times goy

Nope, use Mooncoin if you wanna buy a burger. Dodge is for buying memes

1000 satoshi is almost 1 dollar user, it's not too far fetched to assume 1 sat will equal 1¢ soon.

They don't want it because they know it LN is trash

that would mean the MINIMUM tx fee would be ~300 dollars

your stupid

No, use bitbeans to buy canned beans

It's simple user

I can't buy a burger here with Canadian dollars either. Guess that makes it a non-currency.

Verification is instant
They would only need proof it was sent

there's a difference between being exposed to btcusd and actually having a bitcoin wallet

Makes sense because Canada is pretty much a non-country.

realistic price per bitcoin boys? my friend tells me 1 million within 20 years

lol did you see the latest bcash shilling?

learnbitcoin.cash

doesn't even matter cuz price keeps dropping.

what are you talking about
if people were trading it at 1 million usd in any significant volume it would mean that the dollar basically died at some point.

Dollar is going to die once whatever is holding the economy up gives.
>Trillions in debt
>The 2007 economic crisis bullshit was basically only put off for longer
We're getting a huge crash eventually, I'd say buy bitcoin now if you've got the cash.

LN is love. LN is life.

no it dies if it's ridiculously inflated, unless the treasury breaks some very old rules regarding denominations and core money supply

>wahhh why has an emerging technology not immediately become ubiquitous

More like three years to a million dollar bitcoin:

I've seen it fluctuate from March-August 2020

Also if there are 2-8mb plus upgrades, the need for LN is delayed by years and years, maybe indefinitely.

How will nature ever recover?

how can it be bigger than everything it's trying to replace, without being less efficient than those things?

That just creates scarcity that makes it a finite scalably divisible investment tool.

If only there was some solution to all of this...

Currencies are just commodities turned into a medium of exchange.

deluded arkies, your shitcoins solves nothing AND is inflationary (when you stake you get more ark, so there's always more ark meaning the price will always go down and people with more ark will get more from staking, creating a system equal or worse than the one we already have
