The bar for "compelling" seems to be really low too. In fact, all the tropes and formulaic "eye-catching" headlines actually work in this space. Referencing the title of this thread for example.

You know, we're so far gone, attacks against our choices actually make us feel vindicated. We are truly first world.

I've had more than a few grins rom your post, btw, here is a measly point.

too many people dont do real research and instead just become publicists for a popular influencer..

and thats is the biggest 'first world problem'.. no thought. just blind admiration/faith 'coz he popular'
its these youtube influencers and popularity contests that create more cults.
peter realises he is playing the cult game, recruiting blind followers. but points fingers in other directions to avoid revealing he is the cult leader to the idiots following him

..
as for obvious lack of research take peters belief that btc has no 'intrinsic value'
firstly PoS coins has no upfront cost of creation. PoS coins have no upfront intrinsic value. which is the same thing of if gold could be mined with a tea-spoon and coffee filter paper in everyones back yard for $0.50 a ounce. gold would only be selling at ~$1 a ounce not $1k an ounce

cost of mining is just one element of intrinsic value. and btc actually has some. (albeit some altcoins dont)

Every investment and businesses have the same risk, it is your job as investors to check every positive and negative side in your investment so you can adjust how much money you want to risk in your investment it is depend on your belief and goals you want to be.  The same thing when you are building your busines you are the first one need believe in it .

Nothing lasts forever
I don't see any hard facts here other than your name. It's just opinions from anti-bitcoin believers who think bitcoin is not worth it.
Why would it matter though ? People will still be holding bitcoin no matter what Peter has to say about it for they know this guy has been speaking ill about bitcoin since the beginning. Besides that, everybody has an opinion but that doesn't make it into a reality.

BITCOIN INVESTORS:   There are some very serious potential problems and RISKS with Bitcoin Trust...  Any rational investor would take 10 minutes to eduate themselves about risks, listen to the information in the link below.

https://youtu.be/bSOEywn-2hw?t=2264

BITCOIN BELEIVERS:    Will never let any facts or information change what they want to beleive.   Like any cult like " beleiver ", they will deserve exactly what they get when they are wiped out.   Fools so not deserve to be rewarded.

Hard Facts


I'm not sure what you are referring to as Bitcoin Trust.
Are you talking about the Grayscale Bitcoin Investment Trust? Otherwise, you should know that there is no trust involved with Bitcoin. We don't need to trust a third party that will perform according to our directions. Bitcoin is a unique decentralized network that eliminates the need for trust. With Bitcoin, you only trust the network. It excludes malicious actors and does not reward them. Banks and other centralized systems demand trust. Bitcoin doesn't. I think you need to dig a little deeper into how Bitcoin works and you might understand why there are fewer risks involved than what you think.
In any case, I think that you should definitely watch this educational video by Andreas Antonopoulos.

I've watched your video Hard Facts.
Most of the early investors sold or spend some or all their Bitcoins already, enough to make their lives easier. The early investors are not the ones you are referring to apparently. The way I see it, this is the third wave of Bitcoin adopters that hold, get involved and of course, hope that price will go 10-20 times higher and make some money. This is the initial target for almost everyone to get involved. After a while though, people begin researching and understand the fundamentals of Bitcoin. It takes some time to understand how massively disruptive this technology is.

Why don't you explain your theory about the flaws of Bitcoin in this forum thread,instead of clickbaiting us to click the link and watch a Youtube video?Are you so desperate for video views?Is this even you own video?
If you hate Bitcoin that much,just don't use it.I've been using Bitcoin actively for about 4 years,without any problems,so nobody can convince me that there's a problem with you call "Bitcoin Trust".
I don't consider myself a hardcore Bitcoin fanatic or believer.I know that some day Bitcoin might be destroyed by the governments,or some better altcoin might replace it(maybe after 30 years).
Everybody has his own opinion,but preaching and trying to convince other people about some BS is what I usually avoid.

Nothing you say is going to change minds here unless you put your own mind to work with some compelling thoughts of your own. And it still won't work. We're too far gone.

ive noticed that with many people.
seems kissing ass for merit means more then research and understanding things.
anyway i dont care about merit and even give it away to people i dont like just for giggles
but your statement has a point. so heres 50 merit

@Hardfacts, you are trying to proved something about freedom to write, published, post something or shall we say trying to be against bitcoin. Thats definitely your right and voice; however, you end up in the wrong forum.

Majority of the people here are not ignorant about risk that you been talki'n about, it kinda be learnt within 10 minutes as you said! But here's the deal, we are promoting freedom of speech same with freedom of financial abused. Abused made by centralized institutions and government in terms of financial governance. If you are defending any of your rights because most of your posts have been deleted by moderators then you must improved your way of expressing your ideology  and perhaps i think, not in this forum.

Peace to you mate...

There would be no person who will agree on what you re saying, bitcoin lives for almost 11 years and it helps us for so many years, yes it's true that there is a risk in cryptocurrency especially on the crypto activities such as investing and trading but if you know how risky both things, all will be fine, you will limit your budget on doing a thing because you already have an idea about it. There are many bitcoin users who are strong believers to the bitcoin but once they have read against on what they are believing they will really accept it, especially if it is really legit information.
Any rational investor would not consider 10 minutes enough time to adequately educate himself/herself.
Indeed, you are exaggerating your statement for that 10 minutes, cryptocurrency is very broad there are many things involved in it and 10 minutes is not enough to learn about all things.

As to some Bitcoin believers fully closing their minds from any contrary ideas, I have observed that somehow. I cannot tell whether they are really convinced 100% on Bitcoin or they're just too invested on it that they ended up as cult-like or hardcore believers, entertaining nothing that does not approve or show a hint of doubt on Bitcoin and its future in one way or another.

But these people are no different from those who are not seeing anything good in Bitcoin. Objectively speaking, Bitcoin is an alternative really worth appreciating.

An opinion coming from just one person isn't enough for me to change my current stance with regards to Bitcoin.
I know the risk of it already from the start so who cares Tongue. Risk Management is the key.

I know for sure that you will receive some negative comments with what you said, I don't think that somebody will believe on it. Bitcoin has been there for 10 years and many have trusted it already. Risk is always there and it is in every investment Cheesy.

I've checked your most posts/threads, are about the negative sides about Bitcoin. So, I believe that whatever we say about BTC, you will avoid it. You believe on what Peter Schiff says, always arguing with his statement and also always directing people to no longer believe in bitcoin. But the question is, why are you still here? Are you really trying to make people aware that they are no longer interested in Bitcoin?
Salute to your business.

So sorry, I don't watch the video because I have ever done it and read articles about his argument, opinion, and also statement.
Some may be true but also some may not need to think hard.

...... He mentioned that he lost his money in bitcoin to prove that it is risky.
Yes, you're right.
He always argues about something too risky and bad about BTC without considering the benefit or advantages of BTC. It's totally wrong when we only see a thing only based on one side.
Moreover, everyone in the crypto world also has known and understood the risk of the crypto (BTC and also others0. Losing money on it is usual, but it will depend on how we manage the risk and our funds on BTC. Every investment may be risky, but it will depend on our strategy. We may not need to fear of his statement if we can analyze it by ourself.

I think you should try to ensure people actually do balanced research in cryptocurrency rather than watching one video.

One person on their own is extremely biased, you need a group of people at least with varying ideology and competence to ensure you're emphasising accurate pro's and cons of the technology and coin...

c’mon stop watching Peter Schiff
This man is a representation of a fanatic who tries to prove that he is right and that everyone is wrong.
Risks are not a problem if they are calculated, without these risks you will not make any profit.
He does not know what he says and attacks Bitcoin without reason.
He mentioned that he lost his money in bitcoin to prove that it is risky.

I can't be arsed to read your post but it probably involves some dribbling about our delusion and telling people to 'wake up'.

Bless yer wee heart. Go out and get some air in the lovely countryside.
