The bitcoin bubble

in #bubble7 years ago

People are buying Bitcoin because they expect other people to buy it from them at a higher price; the definition of the greater fool theory. Someone responded to me on Twitter by implying the fools were those who were not buying; everyone who did so had become a millionaire. But it is one thing to become a millionaire (the word was coined during the Mississippi bubble of the early 18th century) on paper, or in "bits"; it is another to be able to get into a bubble and out again with your wealth intact.

YES. People are even dumping their altcoins rushing into bitcoin.

I am staying out of BTC but if you are enjoying the bubble, please pay attention to any sudden drop!
