For a vague definition of "near future"?

As reply to last 2 posts, I see a technical and fundamental picture concording (is that a word)
The infinite supply of crypto currencies is the fundamental reason they are a nonsense. Being captured by the apparent genius of Craig Wright is a temporary foolishness. |

I didn't know that you are religious. AFAIK he old notion of "noble" metals and "base" metals doesn't exist any more since they were mostly a religious distinction anyway.
Since you draw a distinction between gold and other metals, you must draw the same distinction between bitcoin and other cryptos. |

I am surely not "religious", the word seems foreign to the forum fortunately.
There are 104 elements in the universe and nearly 3000 so called crypto currencies. In a trillion years there will be 104 elements on the periodic table and no crypto currencies. ETA from wiki Elements 95 to 118 have only been synthesized in laboratories or nuclear reactors.[3] The synthesis of elements having higher atomic numbers is currently being pursued: these elements would begin an eighth row, and theoretical work has been done to suggest possible candidates for this extension. Numerous synthetic radionuclides of naturally occurring elements have also been produced in laboratories. It seems easier to extend the list of cryptos than lists of things like gold. |

How does one stretch 21M BTC "like fiat"?

Fancy fractional reserve banking being possible with bitcoin? Who'd have thunk? I'm shocked I tells you, SHOCKED!!!
No wait, I just remembered something:

Bitcoin maximalists will always despise cryptos that can breed like cockroaches.
Of course that is exactly what cryptos do, so the maximalists preach like the lotus eaters. We should all short bitcoin here on the algorithm at 8568 eta yes psion I read your original post, if only we could stop sniping at each other. |

No, your predictions don't all work.
Furthermore the nature of your predictions makes it pretty easy for them to work. All you have to do is not pick an all time high/low because you don't apply any kind of timescale. TA is nonsense and if it wasn't you'd keep quiet about it while the millions and billions flooded in. |

Have you lost your mind? Your "predictions" are overwhelmingly failures. Given it's as unlikely to be always wrong as it is to be always right, it would be virtually impossible for every one of your blind guesses to be wrong, simply by random chance. Your overall record is astonishingly inaccurate.
Maybe TA works... but certainly not in your hands. |

I guess in a moment of TA objectivity I see a substantial rally here in the deplorable "assets"
7952 right now for bitcoin.. |
