Topic: Would people pour their cash into bitcoin given a stock market crash? - page 3. (Read 8876 times)

u cant realy know for sure, all it takes is a certaing percentage of them moveing to bitcoin, and others will follow.
alot of you say that , if they get burned there , they wont try bitcoin and risk getting burned again, but i think you dont understand traders phylosophy.
noone is willing to finish with a loss, you will rather loose everything trying , than to settle with a loss

Investors would have been burn so badly they will be not likely to trust someone else with their money.

Hard asset and cash on hand would be more likely asset investors want to hang onto.

Some would others not so much. It depends on how savvy each investor is.

wouldn't. Bitcoin is not recognized currency yet, still new technology and the price fluctuates a lot. People is not confident with it yet. people would pour there cash into more traditional safe assets, such as bond, gold, saving, definitely bitcoin.

Nobody knows that date, its more a question of odds.   What are the odds of china buying 100% of usa debt, seems low but its possible and so this can go on forever



When people sell stock, they are buying currency.  A sale must include a purchase also.    So somebody is asking could bitcoin be that currency.

I own some BTC stock, I exchanged BTC to buy that share.    When BTC price goes up it tends to put pressure on that stock price as people are more willing to sell and take profit.    So its already true when this stock crashes, its owners are changing to bitcoin.   

Thats not fiat though.    More relevant is if dollar crashes in value, would people buy bitcoin and they probably would.   If only to transport it abroad, some would use it.    Most stocks give out their dividends in dollars, so by selling they are also giving up those future dollars.   If dollar is going down, then changing to btc would make some sense.  But theres many currencies so its very confusing who is best but its usually the most productive nation with a trade surplus. 

As an enterprise, btc has less transaction fees then it gives out in block rewards.   So I will guess and call this a virtual nation with a trade deficit still, the btc nation needs to do more work and capture more fees to say its self confirming not reliant on outside influence?

We need a reversed debt clock, one which counts the days to the global reset downwards.

I think a stock market crash would cause the price of Bitcoin to plummet, at first, as would gold and silver. The panic would cause people to start to liquidate everything in sight.

After the dust settles, Bitcoin and precious metals would rise drastically as people would realize that it is better to have assets outside of the control of traditional finance.

If another stock market crash occurs and it is severe enough I doubt most people would be able to even afford a computer because it would be the depression v2.0

It isn't so much the actual debt, but the psychological impact of yet another crisis. There are a lot of banks that will get stiffed when the government can't back up the guarantees. This one like most of the other "crises" was government manufactured.

I would not give that site any credibility. It seems as it they are just posting it for the hell of it with no statistical or factual based evidence.

The student loan crisis will probably not cause a massive quick economic crash. A student loan crisis will cause loan term economic damage.

The financial crisis was as bad as it was because people did not know how bad off the banks were so they would take out their deposits and other banks would not lend to them. The question was how much were the investments that banks owned (mortgage backed securities) are worth.

Student loans are mostly owned by the federal government. They can also be collected on in many more ways then mortgages can be. As a result borrowers (of student loans) will face lifetimes of economic hardship and a lower rate of consumption causing lower economic growth.

The student loan meltdown will be really big. The government and banks have been shoveling money into that pit for a few decades now.

The problem started during the dotcom bubble in 2000 and the low interests rates that follow, the housing crisis was due to the interest rates raise but the rates are lower than ever now and the bad debt and bad companies have not been flushed out because the politicians want to avoid a crisis during their watch at all costs

That definitely does happen, the housing crisis was a good example of that bad loans given out to people with bad credit combined with a economic circumstance led to that crisis.
Another area worth looking at is the student loans market and if their is a collapse coming in that area.

This is the problem with QE, it is creating artificial asset price increases. When QE is finished and short term rates start to increase asset prices will start to decrease at a frightening pace.

The market will raise the interest rate, eventually.

They should raise them and stop manipulating the markets and it would get utterly ugly but the easiest solution for them will be to print USD until USD looses most its value

Wait until the fed starts raising interest rates. It is going to get ugly.

In Gold or Bitcoin the Dow  has been going down since 2000

People said I was nuts last year when I told them DJIA would hit 18K this year. It's really looking that way. I think 20K is the final tipping point.
