Bitcoin as a store of value

Recommended Posts

What do you think what cryptocurrency is the best for store of value.

Bitcoin is the most popular and a lot of people use it, but there are other cryptocurrencies too with different benefits.

For example Monero is private coin that can not be traced.

 

And what other assets do you prefer as a store of value?

Gold has been traditionally used for hundreds of years for example.

Bitcoin so far and I think it will be for long time because of it's popularity and limited supply. The chances for others are very much not existence right now. I thing Bitcoin dominance is over 65% right now.

Cryptocurrency is not a good store of value as the price is changing so fast.

For me this currency is made to earn and lose, therefore, the only amount we should have on this is the money we dont need to spend.

BUT, IF local stores and merchant will accept crypto in their routine then that is the call to shift.

For now i will choose still to have FIAT and GOLD as a store value.

We only had 10 years since Satoshi release his whitepaper. Give it enough time. There will be technology like LN and paying with BTC will be less costly.

May be for someone it's not storing any value but I see it as store of value. $10K dollar today is not going to have same buying power after 10 years but $10k worth of Bitcoin will have more buying power than now.

We can not exactly track how much Monero there are because of its privacy, and that is why Monero will simply NEVER be a store of value.

It should be limited in numbers to be source of value

Yes Bitcoin is by far the most used cryptocurrency, but that doesn't mean that some other coin will take its place.

The price will stabilize eventually and become less volatile - but even the price of gold changes from time to time

That is correct, the same amount of BTC will hopefully be much more worth

Do you think because of its privacy properties that someone can manipulate it?

That's what I am saying too. If we talk about popularity then other coins are miles behind and if we talk about hash power then it's the same.

Bitcoin brought up the concept of decentralization and made it popular so my guess is that as long as decentralization stays Bitcoin will stay and dominate.

No privacy coin can ever be store of value as I said, because for something to be a store of value there need to be limited number of coins and they should be public and not private.  So, something maybe can replace Bitcoin but it can never be any privacy coin as a store of value

I am quite confused with your statement. What's the relation between not being store of value when it's a privacy cryptocurrency? People are mostly using it for both untraceable transaction as well as hiding their assets from prying eyes. So, I think it has nothing to do with not being a store of value.

Agree there. I just learnt the yobit coins are costing 0.12btc and if people see it has storing value then they will use it. It's the same with privacy coins.

However I do not see there are any competition for Bitcoin yet in this matter.

It is very much connected with that. You can study more about this topic.

With privacy coins you can NEVER know exactly how much coins there are.

Bitcoin has exact 21 million coins and you can track exact supply.

Low and limited supply is what gives value to any asset not just crypto.

Example is GOLD

And this is why Bitcoin is the first choice. Now one can argue that how about other coins that was forked from Bitcoin. Such as BCH.

Problem with others that they do not have much demand in the space hence the hashrate is dying.

Maximum supply of DeepOnion is- 25,000,000

Max supply for BTCP is- 22,873,588

Max supply for Dash is- 18,900,000

There are a lot of coins which has limited supply, not privacy coin /= mean they are store of value.

Privacy coin has also limitation, Monero doesn't though. I think only limited and low supply can't be an indication of store of value.

Miners choose BTC Bitcoin when split happened, and great majority of users with hashrate stayed on Bitcoin.

If people want to use BCH they can,  but even RogerVeer don'r belive in whole 'store of value' story.

To store value, bitcoin is the best option, because it has a greater history and has more people who join the market every day, since Monero is very good, and used if you want to keep anonymity, the only thing is that if Bitcoin falls in price Monero will suffer, so no Altcoin for me has a life of its own, unless they are coins that survive the Pump and Dump.

Ver is an opportunist, he will move where he will see money. Right now he is pushing BCH thinking it has future. I think it would have a good shot if ver would accept that it's an alt not bitcoin. 

Seems like ver is having a good fight with his emotion and reality.

I am telling you again... please study more about store of value before you claim that any privacy coin can become some store of value.

With all this privacy coins we never know exact current supply of coins. We can never be sure.

Some may even argue that Dash is 100% private as many other so called privacy coins.... they can be semi-private.

 

That does not mean I am against privacy coins. 😉

I didn't say that, I am not saying privacy coins are store of value. My point is they can be store of value if this coin has enough potential in the market.

Why mate? You can always get the exact information on coins on circulation in the market. You ca easily know how many coins are there because you know each of the coins has its own mining algorithm and their distribution model. You can easily calculate how many coin have been mined.

Ok.

You must be very smart person.

Please try to calculate this for Monero coin, and ask someone who is smarter then me and understand economy why privacy coins can never be good store of value.

If you don't understand why, then I can't help you 🙂

 

As for DASH... 

coin lost almost 96% of its value ...not exactly a store of value

I am genuinely curious to know the reason? Is this because of the supply, max cap? Or currently there are no such privacy coin yet in the industry?

What you are exactly looking for? Current supply of Monero? It's available on coin stats sites, isn't it? Coins on circulation is available. I am now quite confused, hopefully not making confused you as well. May I didn't get what you meant.

One more example of not store of value Monero. It has some value as a best privacy coin.

Lost almost 90% of it's value so far.

Ask economists and study literatury to understand Store of Value.

I will not write essays here about it 🙂

 

Bcash lost almost 95% of its value

By this definition Bitcoin also do not have store value. If you ask those guys who bought at the price of $19k plus and those who bought at the price of $1 - you will hear different opinion.

 

Even though Bitcoin has limited supply.

    • CryptoNews of the Week     - As expected, on April 20, the fourth halving occurred on the bitcoin network at block #840000. The reward for mining a block has been reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. It's worth reminding that a halving is the event that reduces the reward for mining new blocks in the bitcoin blockchain by half. This event is encoded in the code of the first cryptocurrency and occurs every 210,000 blocks: until the mining of 21 million coins, presumably in 2040, when the cryptocurrency's emission will end. The fourth halving will ensure that about 95% of all bitcoin emission is mined, with approximately 99% of all coins mined by 2033-2036. Following that, the emission will gradually move towards zero. Economist and author of the cult book "The Bitcoin Standard," Saifedean Ammous, congratulated the crypto community on the halving. "For the first time in history, people have a form of money whose supply increases by less than 1% per year. [...] The harder the money, the slower its supply increases, the better it retains value in the future, and allows for planning and securing the future," he wrote.   - In the days following the halving, there was no increase in volatility. The price of bitcoin slowly and lazily moved upwards, reaching $66,000 at the time of writing this review. It seems that market participants are frozen in anticipation of who will start buying or selling the main cryptocurrency en masse. However, the founder of venture company Pomp Investments, Anthony Pompliano, believes that within 12-18 months, the coin is likely to first undergo a correction and then rise to $100,000 with chances of reaching $150,000-200,000. "At the moment, the probability of a decrease is quite small. [...] I see no reasons for the rate to drop below $50,000. I think we have already crossed this Rubicon," the entrepreneur believes. Pompliano recommended buying gold to those looking for capital protection from the fall and the first cryptocurrency to those aiming to increase their purchasing power. "After the previous halving, the first cryptocurrency appreciated eightfold despite volatility. Name any other asset that has shown such high returns over a four-year cycle," he stated, revealing that he invested about half of his personal funds in the first cryptocurrency.   - Analysts at QCP Capital believe that bitcoin optimists will need to wait at least two months before assessing the impact of the recent fourth halving. "The spot price has only grown exponentially 50-100 days after each of the previous three halvings. If this pattern repeats, bitcoin bulls still have weeks to build a larger long position," their report states.   - According to Bitfinex experts, the post-halving supply restriction will stabilize the price of the first cryptocurrency and may contribute to its growth. "The decrease in the pace of bitcoin issuance after halving, which will amount to $30-40 million per day, sharply contrasts with the average daily net inflow of $150 million into spot ETFs. This underscores a significant demand and supply imbalance which may contribute to further price growth," the Bitfinex report indicates.   - A sharp increase in transaction fees on the day of the halving gave Euro Pacific Capital president and "gold bug" Peter Schiff another reason to declare the failure of the first cryptocurrency. On April 20, amid the reduction of the block reward, the average size of fees in the network jumped to a record $128.45. Experts largely linked this to the hype associated with the event around the launch of the Runes protocol. "The cost of completing a transaction now stands at $128, and its processing takes half an hour. This is another reason why bitcoin cannot function as a digital currency. The costs of using it in this capacity are disproportionately high. This is a failure," Schiff declared. (And he was wrong. Shortly thereafter, the rate dropped nearly 73% to $34.86.) In the comments, users asked the well-known gold advocate how much it would cost to safely deliver a pound of precious metal around the world. An estimate ranging from $800,000 to $2.3 million depending on the method and speed was voiced. "Remind me, how much does it cost to transport a gold bar to the other end of the world in half an hour?" Jameson Lopp, co-founder of Casa, sarcastically remarked about speed. Schiff responded that it didn't matter since people no longer use precious metal as currency.   - Speaking at a pre-election rally in Michigan, Robert Kennedy Jr. announced to the attendees that if he is elected President of the USA, every American will have the opportunity to review any budget item. "I will move the entire US budget to the blockchain, and we will have 300 million observers over it. If someone spends $16,000 on a toilet seat, everyone will find out!" he declared. The presidential candidate believes that taxpayers have the right to know exactly what their money is being spent on. According to the politician, blockchain and cryptocurrencies should help the USA remain a leader in innovation and maintain the financial freedom of its citizens. Robert Kennedy Jr. had previously supported bitcoin, stating that the first cryptocurrency takes financial control away from the government and the monopolistic banking system.   - The crypto exchange CoinEx has put up for sale the first satoshi mined after the halving. Buyers can place bids in bitcoins on the auction page. A satoshi is one-hundred-millionth of a bitcoin (0.00000001), and the organisers of the auction hoped that collectors would pay several tens of millions of dollars for this "epic" coin. However, at the time of publication, the highest bid is only 2.5 BTC, which is about $165,000, although this price exceeds the value of one ordinary satoshi by 250 million times. The auction will end on April 26. The exchange will notify participants of the results via a message on the website and by email.   - Fidelity Digital Assets, a leading issuer of one of the spot BTC-ETFs, has revised its mid-term forecast for bitcoin from positive to neutral. The reason for the departure from optimistic views is several worrying trends in the crypto market. Fidelity analysts noted the growing interest in selling from long-term bitcoin hodlers. A large percentage of profitable addresses is currently noted in the report. This means that holders may want to lock in profits and start selling BTC. On the other hand, on-chain data also indicate that small investors continue to accumulate the first cryptocurrency. Since the beginning of the year, the number of addresses holding at least $1,000 in BTC has increased by 20% and reached a new all-time high. "This trend may indicate the growing proliferation of bitcoin and its acceptance among 'average' users," Fidelity notes.   - Investments in bitcoin by "new" whales have almost doubled the indicator of "old" major players. These assessments were shared by the CEO of CryptoQuant, Ki Young Ju. The expert attributed to the "whale" addresses not associated with CEX and miners with a balance of over 1000 BTC. The "new" category includes owners of coins "aged" less than 155 days; "old" exceed this term. Specialists at CryptoQuant examined the dynamics of the 7DMA ratio of the SOPR indicator applied to these categories of investors and made conclusions similar to those of their colleagues from Fidelity. The elevated metric value showed high profitability of "old" hodlers compared to "newcomers," which could lead to the formation of price peaks. Analysis of the current situation also speaks of the need to exercise caution in anticipation of possible corrections and increased volatility. Recall that earlier, specialists from JPMorgan noted that digital gold is in an overbought state. And CMCC Crest co-founder Willy Woo warned that if bitcoin falls below $59,000, the market risks entering a bear phase.   - Representatives of the initiative group of cryptocurrency supporters want to convince the Swiss Bank board to add bitcoins to the CB's reserves. The meeting on this issue will take place on April 26, where the concept of supporters of digital gold will be presented. In their opinion, such a step will strengthen the independence and neutrality of the state. Including BTC in its reserves, Switzerland would show the world that it has an independent financial policy from the European Central Bank. Recall that back in 2022, the initiative group recommended the country's central bank to buy bitcoins for 1 billion Swiss francs (about $1.1 billion) instead of German government bonds, but the regulator ignored this proposal. However, now everything may change. Recently, Switzerland has been providing the most favourable conditions for the development of the cryptocurrency industry, which is why the government of El Salvador even opened its office in the country to jointly develop initiatives related to bitcoin.   - Christian Langlois, also known as Bitcoin Sign Guy, made headlines in 2017 when he displayed a notebook page with the message "Buy Bitcoin" behind Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen. At that moment, the FRB Chair was testifying about the state of the US economy. This image instantly spread across the network and became one of the symbols of the emerging crypto industry. For his act, the 22-year-old intern Langlois was disgracefully expelled from the hearings. But after this episode was broadcast on television, enthusiasts sent seven BTC to his crypto wallet to thank the young man for his bold move. Four years ago, Christian sold 21 copies of the notable sheet at an average price of 0.8 BTC each, thus earning an additional 16.8 BTC. As a result, his total earnings reached 23.8 BTC, which is more than $15 million at the current rate. And just a few weeks ago, Langlois was offered another 5 bitcoins for the original, but he refused to sell the sheet. Nevertheless, Christian liked the idea of further monetizing the self-created object of "artistic and historical heritage," and he decided to sell it at an auction. The winner's name will be announced late in the evening on April 24 at the New York snack bar Pubkey, and the young man plans to direct the proceeds to finance his startup, Tirrel Corp. At the time of writing the review, the sheet is offered for $140,000, but the auction is not yet over.
