Why your grandma put her lifesaving in bitcoin? Yes we said that bitcoin is a gold opportunity to earn money in the future. But what if the bitcoij price decrease your grandmother also decrease the price . Your lucky if the bitcoin price increase and fot sure if that happen you can earn money or profit. But I suggest next time your grandma want to invest . Invest only you can afford to lose.
Since no one can "afford to lose" all of their life savings, i'd say op just gave g ma a giant middle finger. i assume he got some fracked up Christmas gifts as a child, or he was left out of a will and was told priori. good job junior, now no one gets shit
bitcoin is amazning, and innovative. but the value that the world will take from Satoshis creation is not bitcoin, it is clearly blockchain technology. what thing, that has survived the test of time, has persisted in its original state? do we still drive model t's? do we still use abacuses (dont answer that, some people still do, and they are fucking cold with the shit, check out a youtube video. its like "this is what i needed in high school!")?
anywho, with all that being said, why would bitcoin persist? we already have better alternatives to what satoshi actually intended this to be, rather than what it has grown in to due to our greed. this is no longer small, nor casual. bitcoin will have to evolve significantly in order to survive, and the "democracy" this is supposed to be has failed us so far in that regard.
