"Value is created by having an asset that cannot artificially be inflated at will." That is not value . You can do that with Gold. We could do that with an arbitrary fixed currency that someone invents. BTC 'has not value&#x

That's a good idea, but in practice, no value is created by BTC. And of course, there are a ton of ways of having a 'source of truth'. So BTC is not a good currency, and it's not a very good store of value either. But we

"That means it's not a fundamental property for stock valuation." Sorry this is not true let me illustrate: If there is a 9/10 chance that the profits will be $1, and a 1/10 chance that it will be $0, then we can va

"Most stock owners hope this very thing, t" Stocks imply ownership of assets. Sure, in terms of 'hoping that someone willy buy' is similar to BTC, but the valuation is completely different. A stock is valued based on the

No, this is really quite upside down. "People get too caught up on bitcoin because it is new and nobody understands it" We understand it quite well thank you (and it's not new!) - far far more often than not, it's the BT

"No entity in the world can control the price of crypto." If it were banned in the US/EU the price would crash. Most major BTC backers have a lot of money and they can't be involved in something that is illicit. For regu

I think the opposite actually. Python, JS and C/c++ are full of idiosyncrasies. Java allows students to quickly get up and running and focus on the 'CS'. That said, Python might be more practical for anything applied in schoo

A 'store of value' is something that maintains it's price, not something wildly volatile, with regulatory unknowns that could affect price. BTC is not a 'store of value' is a wild speculation. "People who try a

XorNot is essentically correct. Crypto is a 'get rich quick' speculative behaviour, driven by multiple narratives as you say, but those are effectively just narratives used to validate the participation. Amway's 'narrati

Annatar, you've completely misunderstood the concept of debt and credit, the entire economy runs on it, and unfortunately yes, it's a signal of financial illiteracy on your part. All businesses and nations carry debt, it's a
