Happy Halving day folks.
We are still the few who hold bitcoin. I consider those who frequent this forum and post here to be the most ardent supporters of the ideals behind bitcoin as sound money in a digital age. It is no surprise that we are arguably the most passionate of believers in the project and hold those who we deem to be derailing it to extremely high account.
Congratulations and let's hope for another four years of growth and success.
like i'm starting to ask more often now; is there any question that hodlers have won?
and yes, i peg 2009 as the starting point of this comparison when the price was $0. some may object, but i think that's perfectly fair given the short 7yrs of Bitcoin's existence, the fact that it could still fail (highly unlikely at this pt imo), the fact that Bitcoin has fought thru all the extreme price volatility, and the fact that it's still evolving and conforming to an S curve of adoption. for comparison sake, Bitpay is one of the earliest Bitcoin "businesses". it's obvious that the value of that company and the merchant "bucket" in general hasn't appreciated anywhere near what the price bucket has done. and this applies across all the different buckets of the economy, including miners.
the hodlers of this thread understand Sound Money b/c most were/are gold bugs. the title i chose for this thread is a forward looking adaptation of this, Gold Collapsing, Bitcoin UP, with it's author (me) taking it one step further and dumping his gold/silver in favor of Bitcoin. in that sense, the thread is cutting edge in it's vision for a future of digital gold/money. i'm more convinced than ever that this will happen.
