RE: McAfee’s Dick Math: illuminating Bitcoin’s ACCELERATING price

in #bitcoin5 years ago

I am reminded that String Theory is elegant, mathematically beautiful. However, that mathematical elegance can be used to describe almost any conceivable universe, and is not very useful to describe the one we're in exactly because of that.

@lauch3d well points out that tulips were not simply digits, but real world items and their value crashed not because of mathematical miscalculations, but real world issues. Maths work great in hindsight, but not so well in the real world to predict value. So many different events could utterly void this calculation I am boggled that effort is undertaken to make it.

War, pandemic, the ongoing solar minimum, gamma radiation burst, solar flare, censorship, corruption, a better DLT, on and on. There is no conceivable limit to the actual events that can not be calculated but that can be counted on to affect politics, finance, and people.

Your calculations could turn out to be right, but I'm not holding my breath. McAfee's dick is safe, because even he is not loony enough to cut it off no matter if he has to eat his words. Sure things never are, and people that tell you they are are either fools or scammers in my experience.

BTC is not calculations, even if most people think that's all it is (PoW). It's a poltical force, and war is politics by other means. Do note that living things, which people are, never actually increase in population exponentially. At least, not without plummeting in population with equal vigor. BTC only has value because people give it value, and people are frangible.
