But for now I stick to saying that there has been a lot of effort that only started recently trying to turn bitcoin into an "asset" that is also linked to every asset they are involved in so that when their assets fail and dump the fleeing money doesn't go to bitcoin as "safe haven".
I like your vision, but you still haven't convinced me completely, only partially. I used to think Bitcoin was a store of value and it would remain to be seen if in the future it is a currency. You argued to me in another thread that it is a currency and it remains to be seen if a store of value. Now I think it is both, which I know is not exactly what you think but it is closer to your thinking than it was before.
But I think the analogy you raise is not correct:
Last time we had this propaganda was during the pandemic when COVID broke out. Bitcoin got dumped because the propaganda had convinced everyone that bitcoin is linked to other assets and as they were dumping then bitcoin should have dumped also. But it backfired as bitcoin was done dumping and it reversed back up while everything else continued dumping. While bitcoin went up 100% above its pre-dump price, those other assets were still trying to recover a tiny portion of what they had lost. This little fact attracted a lot of money from those assets and is one of the reasons why bitcoin price is currently 1306% above its bottom price at the peak of propaganda while many of those other assets are not even at their pre-dump prices, most of stocks have gained very little after the recovery and so on.
I've bolded a couple of sentences.
I don't know what you compare Bitcoin to, but comparing it to indidual stocks is not indicative of anything as an indidual stock can go down when the market is up. If we compare it to the S&P, the S&P has had a comparable rally to Bitcoin, it is up 100% since then, which is less than the 1306% you cite, but that is a lot of upside in a year and a half for an asset that is up 10% on average per year, and where the assets that make it up are stable low volatility.
I don't see a conspiracy of a hidden hand trying to make people think that Bitcoin is an asset linked to other assets. People just believe it without anyone trying to convince them.
The masses who are buying Bitcoin are not doing it because they dream of paying with Bitcoin at Starbucks, they are doing it because they want to make money. The same goes for institutions.
Another thing is that in day to day life many people spend it as a currency, but it has the part of a financial asset.
What you saw was the propaganda~~last time we had this propaganda~~because the propaganda ~~at the peak of propaganda
Common, lately, you're seeing only conspiracies, sometimes when I read your post I double-check to see if it's really you writing this.
Seriously, what's gotten into you?
Well, he seems to have a strong and clear view of what Bitcoin is and how it works, but the conspiracy theory part I don't see it either.
