Clear misunderstanding of the economics in this article. Bitcoin is a stable store of value. Every other Currency just deflated 100% simultaneously and the cost of all goods as represented by bitcoin also went up 100%!

- mam4 5y agoSince the end of the Gold Standard, the value of ANY currency is only based how much other people accept to give you in exchange. That's why you see half of the thirld world countries currencies dropping, in particular, faster than bitcoin drops. And this is why it is so popular in these countries.

- labrador 5y ago"The price of Bitcoin didn't go down, the price of the world has gone up" I like it. I'm going to use that.
