This kind of logic always reminds me of the Terra/LUNA fiasco. An economic model that works as long as nothing unexpected happens. For the price of bitcoin to skyrocket, you need a constant stream of new investors willing to buy bitcoin at these inflated prices. What if this just doesn't happen?

- Ekaros 2y agoSpeculation... And probably quite a bit of wash trading...
