We know more or less what happened after people learned how to extract and use coal, oil or other hydrocarbons - the flowering of industry, capitalization, global warming. Crypto-currencies seem to be something utterly immaterial, but the calculations that support them consume so much energy that bitcoins, ethereums and other virtual money can change not only the global financial system, but the air of the whole planet.

What really is the difference with fiat? Fiat currency is essentially just an agreement between us and the central that it can be used as a means to pay for services and goods. This is actually the same with Bitcoin, we just recognize value to it and decide it can be used as a payment method. The big difference that makes me think this statement applies more for fiat is that central banks can really print more money, thus bring more units in circulation. Bitcoin has a fixed supply, so it can't create new units out of thin air.

Bitcoin does not create anything, it just moves the money.

Ex-RBI chairman said "Bitcoin is creating money out of thin air". It is biggest scam of all.   Angry
While it is kinda true that with numerous bitcoin forks we had over the recent year.
We created airdrop of altcoins and this move can be something that resembles creation of money of a thin air.
However, this is only a really minor issue and compared to the usual quantitive easing of fiat it is totally insignificant.
To be honest that man sounds totally like a hypocrite saying something like this.

lol. what else is new? all throughout the existence of bitcoins in the world, it has been called a scam by countless people for countless times already. and look where we are now from day one. clearly these people are just either stupid, lazy or jealous. stupid because they do not understand what they are criticizing completely. lazy because they prefer to know too little to nothing about bitcoins and stay the same even when they already have a lot of resources they can use to help them learn more about it. not to mention the fact that all the information about bitcoins and the crypto world is just lying around everywhere waiting to be read. jealous because unlike all the risk takers in the crypto world that have already gained millions if not thousands, they cannot take risks in to something they completely do not have calculations to that can guarantee them success if they ever decided to invest. that is why they just spread fuds that are baseless piece of crap. but they, that's their call, not ours. so just let them whine all they want. it won't be our loss but theirs.

He did not understand the blockchain technology on which bitcoin is being driven. Investments are made into Bitcoin where the forces of demand and supply determine the price. That is simple.

"Bitcoin is creating money out of thin air".  I don't agree with this, Bitcoin is real and is not a scam.  Maybe he doesn't fully understand Bitcoin and how it works that's why he said that.

Bitcoin has become a great wonder to so many people therefore there are some many descriptions as regards to it.
This statement is not true when you view Bitcoin from an investment approach, money is pushed from the outside into Bitcoin to increase the value, Bitcoin doesn't create those money.

That is exactly what fiat does right? The biggest difference is that the rate at which bitcoin is creating new money is slowing down, and it will eventually reach zero and no new coins are ever going to be created, but this is not the case with fiat, fiat generation is only going up as time goes on we only need to have a look at the US dollar supply to understand that.

Yes, that is what fiat does. I believe the difference is that Bitcoin has a maximum limit everyone knows (21.000.000 of coins), while fiat can be infinite if the authorities wish, they just need to print money all day long. Bitcoin is exactly the opposite of fiat, it's simpler, but has more structured rules. That is very beauty: At same time it's less complexed and bureaucratic it's more well designed and elaborated!

I think that the chairman is a little bit biased by telling that bitcoin is a scam. The growth of bitcoins is also depending on the supply and demand in the market and the value will only grow if there's a lot of people who are investing and makes the supply decrease.

My advice to you is to stay away from such school of thought because BITCOIN is very real and not a scam.

Yes, every time past the money you invest in bitcoin will generate income. So it is a big convenience to you that you earn without doing anything.

wrong statement, I think he does not understand bitcoin well. maybe some senior can explain bitcoin to him.

We dont need to explain him what bitcoin really is. He is clever person but stupid in the same way.
However, it will not change anything in our bitcoin market and it will not make big issue.
We are a loyal bitcoiner will always support bitcoin can be a real digital currency in the future.

It sounds like unrealistic and unreliable news for many people to come out without fully understanding bitcoin. If the Ex-RBI chairman puts it this way, I can only think of him as unprofessional and need more professional The prestigious people come to me to answer, or I can understand this for him, not on this bitcoin.

Bitcoin accumulated the amount of mining machine and electricity costs. Mine machine as a fruit tree, the power as the sun. Mine loss, ecological operation of the entire bitcoin network are lossy, but also as a cumulative.
Is this not the value of its birth?

Give you an easy to understand explanation. Bitcoin is someone who gives you a math problem. There are 100 answers to this question. The purpose of bit-software is to compute these 100 answers by computer. If you figure out one answer, you get a bitcoin, the answer exists on your hard drive. That is, if you lose the hard drive or Formatting your hard drive, your bitcoin is gone. The answer is unique, and the total number of answers is also fixed. If you calculate this answer, others can only calculate other answers. Some people are willing to spend money on these bitcoin (which is equivalent to the ancient shellfish as the currency of similar nature). Finally, the transaction was generated.

Every time a value is created without someone having done a reasonable work for that, that value has been created out of thin air. If you make a fork of Bitcoin and call it Bitcoin Cash or whatever, here you have suddenly billions of $ of value created out of thin air.

you have to look at it this way; bitcoin is a digital currency and it is creating money because investors are willing to put money into it. Therefore, it is not creating money out of thin air.

Bitcoin, altcoin, dogecoin, oilcoin and many more.. crypto currencies are giant HYIPs (High yield investment programs)
