    BTC is its own animal, I wouldn’t consider
    a currency as it is tied to gold and its ups
    and downs are going to be related directly
    to that, so big gains are not possible but
    with BTC there is know such association
    so there is no governor on the motor.

    BitCoin could technically see weakness to 20,000 according to a CNBC TA.

    If someone took shares of FB or MSFT or AMZN, that wouldn't make them a currency because I could "spend" it, right ?

    I think these digital "currencies" are just like their creation: binary. They're either going alot higher over time, or headed to zero.

    That's what a stock is for me, not a currency. :D

    You can literally spend crypto if you want its not like a stock you have to sell to spend. They're a hybrid but no they were never really intended to actually replace a countries currency anymore than credit cards were

    I sure hope so, the farther it drops the more potential for eventual growth
    speaking from someone that is long term investor, I am eventually looking
    for some regulation from the fed which I think will reinforce it as a more
    legitimate way to pay for things, just saw a local A/C company on the side
    of there van saying they accept BCT :)

    Some of the backers think they ARE supposed to replace currencies.

    Look at this Dogecoin....a joke initially, now has a market cap of billions. :wideyed::woot::yack:

    Which ones would those be? That's an honest question as most of whats read about all of them is wildly inaccurate.

    Bitcoin and Etherium seem to be the most likely to gain share as "currencies."

    I guess if we go cashless, they have a chance. Can't use cash at CitiFIELD but not sure if it's a Covid thing or permanent change.

    Almost certainly permanent with Covid as the excuse. Cant lie about income on taxes or steal from the register with cards

    The hedge fund backers like Miller, Dalio, and Druckenmiller. Plus the specialist firms that deal only in crypto and are sort of like the old Gold Bugs and Apocalpytic Horsemen -- but digital.
