Why do I prefer Bitcoin over the other Cryptos (including Ethereum) ?

(in no particular order)

- It is branded. Like Kleenex (tissues) and Xerox (photocopies), it is branded. Laypeople use the terms "Bitcoin" and "Crypto" interchangeably.
- It is the original platform that the majority of others copied and built off of.
- Only 21 million will ever be created, so there is a finite supply.

There is so much more that the techies know about the platform and the functionality, etc, etc.

These are only the basics as I am a novice myself, and only started buying BTC back in January 2022 at $45K. I continued to dollar-cost-average, buying incrementally on the way down all the way to $16,500.

I have lowered my Cost Basis to $21,900 so I am barely up now (on paper) however I am holding long.

It is definitely a risk-asset, as it is now 90%+ correlated with the highly-volatile Nasdaq stocks, however I still believe it in Long Term.

At much lower levels than my BTC position, I also own positions in:

- Ethereum
- Litecoin
- Solana
- BNB
- AVS
-AVAX

Where are my BTC and Crypto people ??

Anything Crypto goes in here :)

Let's learn from each other and make some money !!

If you think like that, then I’ll take an educated guess and assume you’re not holding any. Too risky from your POV.
I have whatever minimal amount is left over in my wallet used for offshore. Haven't looked in years.

The truth is BC is just the one coin of hundreds that survived, because nerds keep exchanging it among themselves.

It holds no true value if you're the last person holding it, unlike a stock (dividends), a note (interest), a commodity (physical consumption) or a dollar (pay rent).

If the Government decides to tax it, it goes to 0; if the government strip the anonymity of it, it goes to 0. It is a black market source of mutually agreed upon trade, but it always cashed in for dollars in the end.

According to M. Saylor, we'll all live to see it hit 7-digits.

At least those of us who eat healthy and don't die a violent death.

He's saying $13 mln / 1 BTC by 2045. With a straight face!
I laughed out loud when that came out.
He kind of looks dumb for making that statement. It takes away all the other points he was making.

I do understand the logic of it crashing again as it already has multiple times. The thing is it’s always rebounded to a new ATH each and every time after the crash. As far as Bitcoin being taxed that’s already a thing Minny and there is no anonymity it’s viewed on the blockchain.

I mean forced reporting on any holdings over $600 directly to IRS, with you SSN & direct taxation. Like how they broke down Geneva banking in the 00s.

That's all this is. Gold used to be the same way. Buy it, stash it in a numbered safe, don't touch it for 25 years, pull it out and you'd have matched inflation at the very least.
