(Personal opinion ) Bitcoin in the simplest of definitions: a system based on scarcity, created indirectly by authority, that promotes and uses the base concept of ‘human greed’ to dominate.
I’m not going to be a hypocrite and say that I abstain from cryptocurrency but if you really think about it… this is what it is… they did not find a way to bottle time or value in digital void, they found a way to bottle aspects of human nature. Greed, envy, power, the feeling of having a lot at stake….Ever just look at your crypto and imagine where it could reach in 10-20 years… doesn’t that imagination feel good? Knowing that you hold something that EVERYONE in the world could, potentially, want. Sometimes you don’t even want to sell, even if the profit is good… you always want to see what’s beyond the hill… the purest form of greed bottled in an idea, an idea that you can’t shake once you are in it. You spend your free time gazing and scrolling at latest reports/ crypto news, watching YouTube videos on the next 100x or what bitcoin will be in 30 years and think, “ if I have this much, I’ll be worth that much”… don’t lie… you know you think it. Forget blackrock or those trillions coming into crypto, that’s just the cherry on the pie. But bitcoin itself… what does it represent for you? Unlimited power… unlimited potential for wealth, unlimited Grrrreeeedddd…. You want it, you have to have it, you need it and it’s worth more than any real estate you own… the idea that it can go to 1 billion per coin just makes you itch…
That is what they have successfully created in $BTC and I don’t think that it’s an idea that anyone can stop or prevent.
