Bitcoin is a fraud that will blow up. Jamie Dimon Recently we heard a lot of news about being a fraud or not being worth anything. Well, it could be true, but, is it? Bitcoin CEO of JP Morgan said at an investment conference that and that his firm would right away fire whoever traded it. the digital currency is a “fraud” Bitcoin is not cash The main reason for calling Bitcoin a fraud stems from comparing it to cash, which seems foolish. Let’s be clear here; Bitcoin is not cash; . Cash is a store of value as well but backed by government and country. Long story short, Bitcoin and cash are both stores of value, but it does not seem to be legit to compare them to one another. it’s not a currency but a store of value which you can use to trade Not so long ago people were using animals or natural materials for trade. Today, (for example gold or silver). Would you say that gold is a fraud? No, you wouldn’t, but Bitcoin you call a fraud. we use physical metals as a store of value Let’s compare Bitcoin and gold. The maximum number of Bitcoins that will ever exist is 21M, you have a defined maximum, so Bitcoin won’t decrease in value just because someone created a few millions more. It’s not possible to do that. Dunno, no one knows. We are aware of how much of gold we get from Earth, but no one knows how much will be found in upcoming years. Would the result of that be a drop in the price of gold? Why not, since from that moment there would be so much more gold in the world, it’s logical that the price of gold would drop if that happens. How much gold exists in the world? What if someone finds 1/4 more gold in some part of the world? So, my question here is: “ ” Maybe I am wrong, but I believe that finding more gold is more likely to occur. What is more likely to happen? Bitcoin will never reach mass adoption An argument that Bitcoin will never reach mass adoption because of limits regarding where you can use it in the real world is often mentioned. Yes, that is true. . While you can exchange Bitcoin for fiat currency, everything should be okay. You can buy Bitcoin for saving and get your dollars back at any moment, you don’t need to use it instead of fiat currency. Bitcoin will probably never be used as much as dollars, and it doesn’t have to be In fact, today it’s not used for payment transactions, it’s used as a store of value. Better store of value than anything else. For example, from year to year. Fiat money is losing value with time, and inflation does its job here. So, at the end of the year, you get less than you had a year before. if you hold your money in fiat currency in the bank you will lose your money There is no hidden information If we want to call something a scam, it should have hidden information that no one knows. Bitcoin is open sourced, which means that everyone can see all the details in the source code. If you look at the code, you will see that if he decides to do that. The reason behind it is that it’s based on trust, and 51% of miners should be on his side to do that. even the founder cannot generate more Bitcoins Black market with Bitcoin The public thinks that Bitcoin is helping criminals on the black market (silk road for example). Yea, it’s used on the black market, but do you know what is better for that? Cash, and with cash transactions are private. All Bitcoin transactions are visible to everyone, and if some institution puts pressure on some exchange, they will probably give your identity information to the police or someone. . With cash that is not possible. Long story short, cash is more prevalent on the black market, and it’s better than Bitcoin. cash is the king Every transaction can be tracked, and someone will find you if they need to Crypto market vs dot bubble Crypto market cap On the picture above you can see that the whole crypto market has a capitalization of around $140 billions. We can discuss here the most popular news, that Bitcoin and the whole crypto market is a bubble. Do you remember how much was the market capitalization for dot.net companies at the time when dot net bubble happened? So a very large capital created a bubble 18 years ago, . If Bitcoin is a bubble it will fail in a few years, but not yet. It needs more capital before that happens. It was $2.9 trillions! crypto market is just in an early stage Forget about Bitcoin, Blockchain will change the world Public thinks that Bitcoin is blockchain and everything about crypto is only Bitcoin. It’s not; blockchain is an amazing technology that will change the world in many ways. It just started and it’s in an early stage, . Bitcoin is only the most popular crypto currency, it’s on blockchain, but there are many more impressive projects on blockchain that have a much wider application in the real world. I will list just a few of them that impress me at this moment and I am sure more of them will come soon. but the blockchain time will come Debit card connected to your crypto wallet is a debit/credit card that makes the transactions easier for holders and it removes the need for a bank.
