This is all so bizarre and hard to reconcile. As a CPA, my brain doesn’t comprehend the value of Bitcoin/crypto outside of simple supply and demand. There are no revenue generating assets derived from ownership in the coin. The value must be derived from the belief that it’s decentralized nature and security shield it from governmental purview and seizure. That in itself does have value, but how can one monetize that value? I mean, the stock market is completely rigged, so perhaps pretending that the perceived value of a stock is real is foolish for me to believe as well. Still, it’s undeniable that major financial institutions/Other entities are manipulating and controlling the price of the coins. But, the enemy of my enemy are my friends. If I have learned anything over the last few years, it’s to be open in questioning your own beliefs. We shall see.
