The value of bitcoin is the entire physical wealth of the world divided by the market cap of bitcoin. The altcoin is worth all the abstract/intangible value of the world divided by their market caps.
I know the first couple pages of this thread are awesome. I definitely didn't think it'd be this high but I definitely thought it'd be up to $5000. The reason why it's going this high and why this isn't a bubble is because bitcoin is basically solving the biggest problem in the history of the United States: a solution to the centralized banking system. This problem has been magnified in the past 100 years as money has started to become more and more abstract and electronic and peoples entire lives can be destroyed simply by swiping their card at a cash register, businesses can be destroyed simply by not having an emphasis on online security, and people having to pay to get their money, wait to get their money, and pay to wait to get their money.
I just hope that when cryptos do take over from government backed fiats that core developers use transaction fees for roads and infrastructure.
I found the first couple of pages of this thread interesting as well, “Will Bitcoin Hit One Million Dollars” and I say yes because of the many decibel places available. What many don’t seem to understand is that Bitcoin solves a very old math problem that has not been solved until recently, and by solving this math problem it changes people’s perspectives and what money is and how money should or should-not function. When money begins to function differently in society it changes the very nature of how society currently functions.
I also notice that many people don’t seem to realize that Bitcoin is literally eating all FIAT Currencies. Meaning that people are literally devaluing their corrupt currencies by buying Bitcoin which is a deflationary money.
And I don’t blame any of you for trying to better your financial lives, which is an opportunity that’s not available in the outside world. Nonetheless, many of you must realize that you’re joining a libertarian and anti-government and anti-big banking ecosystem. You realize that the more you use your dollars to buy Bitcoin, transact in Bitcoin, Build businesses in Bitcoin, mine Bitcoin, and Trade in Bitcoin the more the future will reflect your actions. And those actions you take today will lead to a better world for you and your children and even their children.
But ultimately, the more Bitcoin is used today for everything the more Bitcoin becomes everything, so ask your self – what is the price of everything today?
