I'd say that an analogy with diamonds works: There is an infinite supply of lab-made-diamonds, however they are not fungible with real diamonds. Them being substitute goods, lab-made-diamonds may have negatively impacted the price, but

No, that's not what the paper states. >From March 1, 2017 to March 31, 2018, the actual Bitcoin price rises from around $1190 to $7000 for a 488% return. In contrast, the price series without the 87 Tether-related hours ends at arou

Perspective. We didn't know it at the time, but looking back it's pretty obvious. Once the issue of the forks and the SegWit activation was cleared, the price rose relatively fast. And I'm talking in relative terms; it was un

I don't know, I followed all the ride very closely, and I don't think that manipulation played that big of a role. Bitcoin was clearly undervalued at the beginning of the year, when its price was around $1,000. Bitcoin needed a pr

Although it may seem counterintuitive that would probably lead to more centralization. Andreas explained it very well here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=3&v=AcaktuPdQrc

A bit off topic. Lately there have been a few cryptocurrency attacks, where the attacker has taken control of more than 50% of the networks computing power. Many cryptocurrencies are only mineable with GPU. Could these servers be rented to

Thanks for pointing it out. Comparing the current bitcoin space to the '99 internet is a common so I should have been more clear. I think that the comparison to the 70s internet is better, but that doesn't work that well to explai

While you are right, and this is a common practice among wealthy individuals, it's virtually impossible for most people in those countries to open bank accounts abroad.

I think you missed the point I was trying to make; I was mentioning that OP has made a too broad of a statement which could apply to any successful technology too. I wasn't trying to make any comparisons, since these are two very diffe

Exchanges are definitely playing with fire. Most crypto exchanges have probably more attack vectors than employees. Mitigating them is usually a tradeoff between security and UX. The most trustworthy exchanges don't even list shitcoins

Many people use exchanges for arbitrage. Exchanges benefit from arbitrage since they take a fee out of every trade and because they want their prices to be close to the international price of the asset. This trade would look exactly the sam
