Investing in Bitcoin is equivalent to take your portfolio
to a rigged illegal casino and gamble; at least in legit Las Vegas casinos odds
aren't stacked against you as those gambling markets aren't manipulated
the way Bitcoin is. Instead Bitcoin is manipulated heavily by Tether and whales.

2% of accounts control 95% of bitcoin assets.
Inequality Gini coefficient of Bitcoin is worse than the one
of North Korea where Mr Kim and his cronies controls most of the country assets!

§

No use ever, past, present and future for XRP and Ripple products...
it is already flopping after spending a fortune and printing a huge amount
of totally useless XRP. (Now the XRP army of Twitter trolls,
bots, hired guns and zealots will attack again...)

From Bitfinex'ed:
«Stablecoins "backed" by USD are technically already illegal.
Because if they were to gain traction, people would be able to have numbered,
and anonymous, bank accounts.

You've reinvented numbered bank accounts.»

The only difference with a genuine Ponzi scheme, is who pays the old investors.
It's not the "fraudsters", but exchanges. Neat!

Forget the meme that "Bitcoin transactions are cheap".
The true cost of a transaction isn't the "transaction fees" - those are indeed manageable,
a few dollars per transaction - but the cost of maintaining the network.
As the Bitcoin network currently processes around 300,000 transactions per day at a cost of $28M
(plus transaction fees), the true cost of one transaction is around $100.

For the next three and a half years, block rewards will be worth 6.25 Bitcoins,
or around 200,000 USD at current prices.

Remember – there's one block reward every ten minutes, so that's $28M per day.
That's a lot of money, and a huge incentive for miners to buy new ASICs and run them, burning electricity.
[...]
In a perfect market equilibrium, the cost of mining Bitcoin is equal to the rewards.
It's never the exactly the case, but it's a good rule of thumb for evaluating how much it costs to run the network.
