>>From 3rd Jan 2009 until today, "Many often lose everything" is not true. All holdings are in the money.
This is correct if you bought on 3rd Jan 2009. It depends on when you bought it. Whenever you bought it, you need some ready to buy it from you at a higher price. So as long that is true, you make profit. In fact that is profit and loss by definition.
>>We don't know of the future.
Exactly, ensure some one will buy from you at a higher price. So as long as you do this, you should be fine.
>>The thing is, in all asset classes, it tends to be the way that early investors reap massive gains. Housing. Stocks. Cryptocurrency.
Not true. Take housing for example, Housing tracks people ready to stay at a place for employment and other opportunities. Its value is tied to the businesses around. Stocks themselves are tied to how the company does well.
What does Bitcoin track? Electricity spent to mine it? Speculative people hoping the next idiot comes along to bail them out? Well electricity isn't exactly scarce. Supply of electricity is unlimited for all practical purposes.
>>The great thing for you is it is still very early days for Cryptocurrency. It was only invented in 2009!
We don't know. Only the next people ready to invest $60K for a coin can decide that. And then the ones ready to put in $70K. Eventually some body needs to be present who can put in something like a $500K or a million.
>>What should be concerning is the sustainability of a 'scheme'.
Indeed.
>>When unlimited USD can be printed at the desires of the administration, how can a fixed emission asset NOT outperform something inflationary?
Because unlike USD backed by US government and its military. Bitcoin owners are in no position to invade some country like Iraq to liquidate themselves.
