Reminder: With a small amount of education/work Bitcoin is extremely easy to self custody in a manner that even a State actor/military would have a tough time confiscating from you. Few understand this. Even fewer understand the implications.

It does drive speculation though, which is possibly behind part of the rise though it's been on a slow rise again basically since the IRS reporting thing was proposed and before that

Almost 63,000 at one time this afternoon.

What do you think Sniper, is it going to set a new high?

If the dollar starts to weaken as it should it will blow through a hundred thousand.

All time high is 64,899, Id take even odds bets on it breaking 80k by end of the year.

Wouldnt be surprised if we got over 100k by then

Bitcoin is designed to replace the US dollar . I would bet this is George Soros at work buying it up in an attempt to get others to follow to crash the dollar.

Those that are investing in it are helping replace the US dollar as the global currency.

After China banned Bitcoin mining and trading, The US has now taken the lead as the biggest Bitcoin mining hub.

Last August the US was responsible for just 4% of the worlds Bitcoin mining activity, Its now over 35%. But since mining for Bitcoin uses so much energy you can probably look forward to Biden putting the brakes on it for environmental reasons. I would not want to be holding it when that happens.

You cant mine Bitcoin on expensive energy, the profit isnt there. The miners run when power is cheap,ie at night, not during peak times.

In light of the irresponsible inflating of the US currency in the last 50 years, something will eventually take it's place.

I'd prefer a gold standard.

Failed every time its been tried. What will be different this time?

Gold requires too much trust that the institutions holding the gold (which backs the currency) are fully reserved.

With Bitcoin we're past needing trusted third parties to store our wealth and dish us out useless IOUs

I still prefer gold. It always was and always will be. Don't confuse my last statement as being anti Bitcoin.

Jbyrd let's keep that rapture nonsense off this discussion. Regardless of what you looks may think it's still the best time for the average human to be alive in history.

Bitcoin layer 1 wasn’t designed, or is even capable of replacing the US dollar. Layer 2 or 3 options is where things get interesting, though El Salvador has shown there’s still lots of work to be done.

Wait! What?

It cannot be so, not for all the reports of its demise.

Bitcoin is useless it has no value.You cant eat it nor will it keep you warm.
I like made beaver or made marten.At least they will keep you warm and that value will rise when all the power goes out after the nuclear blasts..

Ah actually you can borrow against your 401k. So in reality yes. I could feed myself quite well on my 401k. Pay for an education. Etc.... Just saying. But not knocking BitCoin. Glad you hit a high on it. Just not for me
