Peter Schiff: I must admit that I’m surprised that Bitcoin has held up this well. But don’t get cocky HODLers. The market never gives investors this much time to buy the bottom. It’s more likely this is a bull trap to lure in as many more buyers as possible before the next major leg down.

BTC Supporter: Bitcoin will continue to surprise you. It is a new solution to an old problem, which happens to be incredibly important to the world right now.
The tremendous effect of Bitcoin over the systemic burdens and controls is that it has given freedom to the people, placing their financial destinies in their hands, which the traditional institutions robbed them off. Bitcoin brought life changing solution to lifetime problem.
BTC Prospects / Critics: Bitcoin people say things like “it’s the new solution to an old problem” without defining what either the solution or the problem is. Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme, which will cause a major problem for the vast number of small holders. The solution is don’t hold!
Bitcoin’s most significant headwind right now are the margin calls spilling over from other asset classes. They are as impossible to avoid as climate change, so to speak. Therefore, cryptos will go down along with equities etc.
Bitcoin isn’t even private, so not fungible or permissionless. Not to mention it’s slow and expensive, and its value above zero is not backed by any utility.
Traders: Can surprise to the upside and downside – can also stay down for a lot longer than people think – a lot of people in BTC for a quick buck.
Bitcoin is in a bear market. There is no catalyst in the near future to get the price back to all-time highs. It’s backed by supply and demand. Just like any other asset in the world. The demand comes entirely from people speculating on a bubble upon an underlying asset that is essentially worthless thin air.
Political Correlation: Bitcoin taking off is the result of free money. The Fed is now changing that, and Bitcoin has been falling coincidence? I think not.
Praising BTC Fundamentals: Take some time to look into what the ledger means. No one can lie about how much BTC they have, which is a point that no one seems to get Banks and governments lie all the time about how much they have in the bank. You can’t do that with crypto. Best thing we ever got for accountability.
