Topic: Wall Street Reports On Bitcoin (Read 1081 times)

it is not uncommon for the older generation to reject ideas especially new ones because they think that their way is always the better one and probably the best too but economists or scholars as you call them being skeptical about new ways surprises me mainly because economists should know that there is nothing constant with markets and they are always fluctuating which goes the same way for trends and other systematic inventions

maybe in the next few years, even as early as next year, those who are still quite skeptical of bitcoin can finally realize that this is now the future

Pardon those people. Because they are economists and "scholars" of an old system, for them it will probably take 10 more years before they could finally accept Bitcoin in its totality as the next evolutionary step for money. They might also say that it's "our" Tour De Force, and how it was ahead of its time. But was it?

Plebs have already known that it would be so, not because they were HODLing/using the asset, but because the common, Bitcoin pleb today had already a basic, fundamental understanding of the network, of the incentive structure - what makes everything stick together, and of the importance of censorship-resistance - Bitcoin's main value proposition.

Wow!

No wonder so many people believe that there is such a thing as "crypto," especially since no one seems inclined to even use the word bitcoin in their title... Might it not be more accurate to entitle something like this.. "Report on bitcoin, and various shitcoins (and affinity scams)"?


At least he was not afraid to use the word "Bitcoin" in the main title, but then still devolved into putting that dumb-ass meaningless term into the subtitle.  The title itself must be worth something in terms of showing how scared "they" are.

The "Cockroach Theory" by The Economist.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The title might confuse many people into believing that the article is merely another negative essay written to misinform and gaslight its readers. It's probably an article written by someone who is, or probably WAS against Bitcoin, BUT also probably has accepted the fact that it is not going away.

All of these research are public available, some of them just require an email (even a throw away one) to read it. No restricted material has been provided.

I applaud you, @JayJuanGee for the effort you put in that answer.
I was so happy someone posted on this thread that apparently is a monologue of mine (not that too much discussion is required here, btw). But when I realised the poor quality of the post I was a little bit discouraged.

Nevertheless, you showed me how to deal with that!

OMG Fullbear2222.  Get a grip!!!!!   Who knows what's happening with you, except for you (and maybe you don't even seem to know? since you are quoting posts from 2 years ago, and then not explaining how that 2-year old information relates to today).

Also, you have ONLY been registered on the forum for a couple of months - so it could be possible that your time preference is too high (you are expecting positive returns in too short of a timeframe.. perhaps?), and you may well need to chill the fuck out and figure out a financial management strategy that might include bitcoin accumulation that might work for you for 4-10 years or longer.. depending on your various other financial and mental circumstances.

When you invest into bitcoin, at minimum you should be attempting to consider your cashflow, how much bitcoin you have already accumulated, your other investments, your view of bitcoin as compared with other investments, timeline, risk tolerance, and your time, skills, goals (investment/lifestyle targets) and your abilities to strategize, plan, research and learn along the way including tweaking strategies from time to time to consider trading, reallocating, use of leverage and/or financial instruments.

It can take a long time to figure out each of the subcategories within the above-outlined individual considerations, yet no one has to figure them all out at one time or before getting started investing in bitcoin.. and accordingly any person could start by investing relatively small amounts or investing some amount that they believe to be reasonable and prudent - and continue to study their own circumstances along the way, and perhaps tweak their investing strategy from time to time along the way, as they are learning.

The first considerations on the above list are more basic, and the later considerations on the list are more advanced, so of course, on a personal level, I have frequently striven to get the basics in order before getting into the more advanced strategies and techniques.

So ultimately, if you are reading information that seems too complicated for you, and you are asking for feedback on a forum in respect to your own personal financial and perhaps mental circumstances, then you likely need to start out more slowly.. especially if you are having trouble understanding and appreciating how 2-year old information about bitcoin might relate to your own current personal financial/mental circumstances.

Institutional Investor Digital Assets Study: Key Findings
October 2022

I think that many publications have the added value of being proposed by opponents to the Bitcoin Standard, so they approach the question from an adverse point of view.
Reading about bitcoin in this "wrong" optic, also help you to focalise on "why" legacy banks are so averse to bitcoin, and so love the protocol even more.

It is true that the more these big names end up doing publications regarding bitcoin and giving it credibility, the more there will be people investing into it. Places like citibank making claims about bitcoin, even if it was bad or when it is good, doesn't matter, it gives credibility to it, they speak it into existence, if it's good then because it is good, if it is bad then there are people who hate these big names and will invest because of that.

That’s why it’s going to be easy for us to grow in adoption due to these publications. It is great that they are collected all in here in a single topic, it allows us to read them easier instead of researching for them.

People in general will definitely know about it if a more widespread publication is made, because it is published to be known by many people, especially those who are familiar with Bitcoin and also often use banking services when withdrawing money or sending money in certain countries.

In the future the use of Bitcoin through adoption will be more and more because it is based on the development of Bitcoin which has penetrated throughout the world even though not everyone in this world has used Bitcoin.

I really appreciate what you have done in conveying the key points of the Research paper published by Wall Street Banks on Bitcoin. However, the main question is whether the general public knows about it or not and whether they will consider using it in the future as a result.

Fidelity released a very simple “Valuing bitcoin” paper.

They describe both supply side models, such as PlanB’s stock to flow, and demand based models, based on S-shaped adoption curves and Metcalfe’s law.
