Should I Invest in Bitcoin? It Seems Like The Bubble's Bursting

Should I invest in Bitcoin? 

Anything I say is not to be used as financial advice.

That being said, bitcoin is definitely worth considering.

And with bitcoin crossing the $10k threshold earlier this week, it's no wonder people think it's a bubble.

But, think about it in terms of economics. Look at supply and demand graph. We see that as supply increases, demand decreases. And as supply decreases, demand increases.




This is known as an inverse relationship. 

Demand is created through something called “scarcity”.  Scarcity means to be in short supply.

Let’s look at scarcity, in terms of crypto.

There will only ever be 21 million bitcoins mined. In the world, there are roughly 33 million millionaires.

Even if every one of those millionaires wants a whole bitcoin, it's impossible. There are simply not enough bitcoins to go around.

Scarcity builds demand.

Now, in the United States (and other well-off countries), people don't necessarily see bitcoin as anything other than an investment. But that mindset fails to remember those who are affected by economic crises.

Consider Venezuela. They’re facing more than 4,000% of inflation. Their fiat currency is essentially useless. As of August 2015, there were about 450 companies that accepted bitcoin. In November 2016, there were more than 85,000 accepting the cryptocurrency.

That stat is a year old, and Venezuela continues to be plagued with an economic death spiral. So, the number is surely higher.

In fact, more than 100,000 miners have entered the game in the country. Bitcoin is more stable the Venezuela’s fiat, and thus is seen as a viable form of currency.

Now, we’ve seen bitcoin’s value in the eyes of the wealthy, and we've seen its value in the eyes of those in economic crises.

So to answer your question, yes. Bitcoin is worth an investment.


If you're not sure you want to invest, but want to dip your toes into mining. Give this a look see.

The Undeniable Marriage of Blockchain Technology & Bitcoin

Blockchain History 101 Let’s start at the beginning of blockchain history. In October 2008, a man named Satoshi Nakamoto drafted a white paper for bitcoin, the famous cryptocurrency.  The paper was aptly named Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System . It described the digital cash and the platform to house it--Bitcoin with a capital “B”. It’s important to note that “bitcoin” with a lowercase “b” refers to the cryptocurrency, while “Bitcoin” with an uppercase “B” refers to the platform itself.  On January 9, 2009, Nakamoto released the first version of Bitcoin software on a platform called Surgeforce. From there he created a website, Bitcoin.Org, and continued working on the platform until about mid-2010.  At that point, he handed over control of the platform to a man named Gavin Andresen.   Nakamoto’s identity has never been confirmed. He’s never revealed any pictures, or identifying information--other than claiming he’s from Japan, and his birthday ...
