Wondering why BTC is still red when it’s purpose of existence was exactly what’s happening yet again

firm believer here. Since it’s birth rightfully happened as a consequence of the financial crisis, I don’t get why BTC is still moving like the common market. I know the whole world is on fire with COVID, wars and governments printing money like there’s no tomorrow. But when I see the stock market crashing I always have the hope that BTC moves independently since it’s a whole different ball game. I mean everyone who understands Bitcoin (compared to many here I’m still a rookie) wouldn’t be so stupid to gamble or yet short it. I know everyone got their shy which would make you sell some. But unlikely during a bear.So it would be nice to enlighten me if it’s still a question of adoption or what has to happen for the baby to become an adult.

How would you describe bitcoin’s main usecase?

People tend to argue: Bitcoin is a hedge against the monetary system as a whole. If it fails - for example in Europe or the US, we would be in a crisis we have never been before. So betting on this event might seem quite risky.

Bitcoin sucks?

I'm in El Salvador and wanted to embrace Bitcoin as it's legal tender here, at least on paper. Here's my gripes so far:

• It costs money for everything! Want to buy it? There's a fee. Want to use it? There's a fee. Cash it out? You better believe there's a fee.This is a massive disadvantage to using USD as once you have USD, there's no fees to use it.
• It's slow AF. Even when using the lightning network. When I paid for my groceries yesterday, it took so much longer than using my visa card or cash. The checkout lady basically gave me death stares, I held up the line and the transaction took ages. Then she had to put in some code. Which she got from a book. Did I mention it took ages. Oh and it cost me an extra dollar for the privilege.
• it's volitile. Locals may accept it but they go and cash it out ASAP. They don't want Bitcoin, they want USD. Most live day to day so they're not looking for investments.

Going forward I won't be using it at all. The only possible use case would be if I was to buy a car or something and it was cheaper and faster than an international wire, but day to day no way.

I'm aware that contrary opinions aren't necessarily welcome on a Bitcoin subreddit but I'm interested in what you guys have to say given the obvious drawbacks I've experienced.

Stop telling people how much bitcoin you have

I know it's fun, especially when the price moves up...but telling people how much bitcoin you have is not good. why?

1. Hurts relationships. Jealousy-humans are envious. It will hurt friendships if you become the rich person if everyone else is average/poor.
2. Hurts income -the thing you are using to acquire more btc. Do not, for the love of all that is holy, tell your boss, even if said boss owns btc, that you own a lot. If you own 10 btc, tell him you own 2. If bitcoin goes up a lot, he will say "well Joe doesn't need a raise". And he will deliver it by saying "Joe we really need to keep Tammy on and pay her more, you're ok, right"
3. Gives you a false sense of wealth. You start seeing your ledger balance, you stop stacking. You start spending. I should have had 4 rental properties-I did-but I had to give them up, and now I have 2. I decided to blow money on some stupid ass shit and could have kept at least one instead of paying for dinner for a bunch of fake ass freeloaders. Many people I believe will regret that they have 1/2 to 2 btc when they could have easily had 5-10. I believe there is no excuse for anyone in the first world who has a family they can live with to get to 5 coins.
4. Safety-You are not helping yourself by letting people think you have a valuable asset UNLESS you live in an extremely safe area. Look at la, look at nyc. People getting robbed on the streets. You might be an honest person; many people will steal, hurt, rob, for $10. Imagine what they are willing to do for hundreds of thousands or millions.
5. Keeps you from the big goal. Money is supposed to be spent. For many, money can be: I can retire at 50 instead of 60. For others it can be I can take a job I want versus the job that pays now. It could be a gt3...and for a few, it will be the ability to live life on your own terms. I beg of you: that dumb watch, that fast car, the lavish gifts-they mean NOTHING. Reach for the big goal.
6. Makes you a gambler. For many, I believe we HAVE not seen the real gambling begin in housing, crypto, or the stock market. Look at how many very smart people went bust who took leverage-primarily because they were greedy and thought they were late to the party. Stay humble.

The basic economics of why Bitcoin has value

I've been seeing a lot of new people that seem to have no grasp on the basics of economics regarding currency, what gives it value, etc. I posted this as a comment in another thread that didn't get much attention, so I thought I would post it again as its own post to help those who are new to Bitcoin or don't have much understanding of the fundamental value proposition of Bitcoin as a currency.

First you need to ask yourself why the Dollar has any value. Learn a bit about the history of money. The first currencies were commodity money. They derived their value from their intrinsic use. But they were cumbersome to use. So we invented paper money that was backed by commodities such as gold, which could be exchanged for it, and gave it value. In 1971 the US Fed stopped allowing Dollars to be exchanged for gold, making our money fiat money with no backing. Fiat means "command". It is created out of nothing by an issuing authority.

Now think about what the Federal Reserve has been doing, and the effects their actions have had on the economy. They previously lowered interest rates to 0%. Interest rates are the cost of obtaining money. Money that has no cost to obtain has an unlimited supply and its value will trend toward zero as the supply is diluted. The money supply has been increased by more than 40% over the last 2 years, and much more than that over the previous century. You can view the Fed's own data here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M2SL . The value of the Dollar over the long term is trending toward zero, along with every other fiat currency. Look at this chart and see how much value it has lost over time. https://www.officialdata.org/us/inflation/1800?amount=1

Most money is already digital. It's just a database in your bank's servers that has names associated with amounts. Less than 10% of the money supply exists as cash. It would be impossible for everyone to convert their electronic deposits into cash. Banks actually create even more money when they make loans.Reserve requirements were suspended in the COVID era meaning banks could create unlimited amounts of loans with no reserves at all. And what happened? The value of the Dollar tanked, of course. As it will continue to do once they start the money printer up again, once they get past the threat of higher than normal inflation.

This is stuff you would learn in an intro Economics class. But it's very fundamental to understanding why any currency has value, or loses its value. Money derives its value from being something that is: fungible, durable, divisible, portable, and limited in supply. The more of these properties it has, the better it is as money. It must serve as a unit of account, a medium of exchange, and a store of value. The better it is at these things, the better it is as money.

Bitcoin has all of these qualities, making it useful as money. It's much more divisible than the Dollar, much more portable, and more limited in supply. Since 2013, the Bitcoin network has not had a major outage or hack despite being an extremely high value target. It is free and open source, with out a central authority. So far, its value has only gone up over the long term despite its high volatility in the short term.

Limited supply is essential a currency's potential as a long term store of value. Many countries have hyperinflated their currencies with disastrous results. Right now around the world many countries are experiencing extremely high amounts of inflation. Learn about what has happened in Argentina, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Hungary, and many more countries due to hyperinflation. It's a crisis around the world. Almost all the world's countries use fiat currency now. Many people in these countries face authoritarian governments, or do not have access to a stable currency. Bitcoin has obvious usefulness to these people as well as anyone else who wants an alternative to fiat money that will do nothing but lose value over time.

Banks have been fined more than $340 billion since 2000 for violating the rules. Bitcoin is not the problem. The current system is. Bitcoin is the solution.

The current system requires that we can have blind trust in the institutions, but history has shown us that they never cease to violate this trust.

Since 2000, banks around the world have had to pay more than $340 billion in penalties for violations of rules in the financial services world. The reasons for these violations are varied:

• Mortgage abuses.
• Fraud.
• Toxic securities abuses.
• Investor protection violation.
• Economic sanction violation.
• Consumer protection violation
• Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
• Anti-money-laundering deficiencies.
• Banking violation.
• False Claims Act and related.
• Foreign exchange market manipulation.
• Price-fixing or anti-competitive practices.
• Interest rate benchmark manipulation.
• Tax violations.

I'll stop here, but I assure you that the list is long. To get a better idea, I invite you to discover for yourself the Violation Tracker maintained by the Good Jobs First website: https://violationtracker.goodjobsfirst.org/industry/financial%20services

Banks have been fined more than $340 billion since 2000 for violating the rules. Bitcoin is not the problem. The current system is. Bitcoin is the solution.

The current system requires that we can have blind trust in the institutions, but history has shown us that they never cease to violate this trust.Since 2000, banks around the world have had to pay more than $340 billion in penalties for violations of rules in the financial services world. The reasons for these violations are varied:Mortgage abuses.Fraud.Toxic securities abuses.Investor protection violation.Economic sanction violation.Consumer protection violationForeign Corrupt Practices Act.Anti-money-laundering deficiencies.Banking violation.False Claims Act and related.Foreign exchange market manipulation.Price-fixing or anti-competitive practices.Interest rate benchmark manipulation.Tax violations.I'll stop here, but I assure you that the list is long. To get a better idea, I invite you to discover for yourself the Violation Tracker maintained by the Good Jobs First website: https://bit.ly/3W2sERU the top of this shameful ranking:Bank of America - $83B in penaltyJPMorgan Chase - $36B in penaltyCitigroup - $25B in penaltyWells Fargo - $22B in penaltyDeutsche Bank - $18B in penalty via /r/Bitcoin https://bit.ly/3FZwSUF

98% of all BTC addresses belong to small retail holders! What a Marketer's Dream!!

Why is this so?

BTC represents Hope!!

We major tenants as well as the new and future BTC Maxi's believe that as money is separated from State, the political class gets demonetized globally. This means their ability to make war is over. The military industrial complexes collapse a little, and all the energy, money, and resources spent there can get redistributed. This is bitcoin's vision of wealth redistribution. The hope is borders fall a bit, and tax levies are impaired enough that only projects of value with transparent accounting get the cut. This is the future for a world of peace and civility for our planet. This is what is necessary for our future generation's survival. The hope is because BTC has a habit of appreciating in value, consumer's time preferences get longer, and gone is the mindless nonsense consumerism, and this combined with deflationary pressure of the asset, not only keeps consumer prices equitable, but allows someone working even a menial job the ability to store their work energy in an asset that won't depreciate.

BTC Dystopia:

We never said that BTC is without flaws.

• It won't be easy watching as most of the brick and mortar banking institutions shut their doors because they are not needed as much anymore.
  
• It won't be easy watching our military forces budget reduced by half or more.
• It won't be easy watching a full hour of TV without seeing a pharmaceutic ad.
• It won't be easy watching that abandoned building on the corner transformed into a food service bank for those who have nothing and are hungry.

• It won't be easy watching that other building adapted to a free medical facility for those who have less.

  BTC Utopia:

Thank god we still have the the ole' standard of Centralized Government intervention, I enjoy being poor.
