Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.


If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)


  • If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS


Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.


Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...


Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.


This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.



Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

Bitcoin will not go to 0, unless a critical bug is found to allow double spending.

It has utility that more and more people turn to, and at the same time it has a strictly limited supply.

It will absolutely dip in value once yet another wave is over (quite shortly), but it will not drop to 0 or go away.

Still, any funds reliant on Bitcoin will take a hit in the meanwhile.

Too many rich people use it to hide wealth and do other illegal shit

Which is insane if you know anything about the public ledger.

Also Bitcoin is still the entry point for buying a lot of other cryptocoins, so it's not likely to go down unless the entire market goes down.

Just because you have lots of money doesn't mean you're smart

Public ledger means nothing when you launder the coins

You can use block explorers to see what they use it for actually

I love the down votes, this should be getting up voted. It's an "unpopular opinion", isn't it?

This is a prediction.
