Unpopular Opinion
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/

Barring some quantum wizard math breaking the concept, or a state actor fully attacking the network, Bitcoin will never go to zero. It's too deeply rooted at this point... even if it is a fucking obvious bubble, with nearly zero utility. It had severe shortcomings as a currency you can spend, even before it stumbled ass-backwards into line-go-up gambling, and became too volatile to ever show up in a price sticker. But the fact is - it's an established commodity. These tulip bulbs will neither rot nor bloom. A bunch of rich assholes just need something to gamble on, and gold is harder to find than computers.
Might still crater by an order of magnitude and somehow ruin everything. It's just not going away, entirely, unless crypto as a concept goes with it.
