  • Every successful investor has seen their fair share of losses. smooth seas don't make good sailors. if you haven't seen any losses yet rough waters are coming.
  • Watching this is December 2021 and its amazing how Prof G nailed the inflation prediction.

    "I'm investing in bitcoin, because I can afford the risk and I don't want to feel like an idiot if it goes to $100k this year." This is FOMO personified.

    agree, I have "gambled" into bitcoin the amount I feel comfortable at losing without breaking a (few) night's sleep, that's the only rational way I can justify it.

    Long term investor's know that the market and economy will recover eventually, and investors should be positioned for such a rebound, I gained $270k from bitcoin of 2021. Before the market crash and now am buying again, adding more at a time. Having a good financial advisor like Mr. Lyle Keith, it will add to your success in the crypto market

    Is "sometime in 2021' like, next week?
  • Nakamoto's consensus protocol increases the computational complexity of mining bitcoin over time. Increased complexity leads to increased hardware costs for miners. Increased hardware costs raise the barrier to entry for mining (remember, miners are the backbone of the network). All of this results in increased centralization around a few mining pools (currently around 19). It is worth considering this trend before you buy something that you assume will always be thoroughly decentralized. FOMO may very well pump the price much higher, but just keep an eye on the growing divergence between the advertising (decentralization) and reality (fewer miners).

    So I guess there are comment bots that bomb every video that contains Bitcoin in the title?! Go figure Youtube....
