Will Bitcoin break $100k before the end of 2022?

Better change to SAE because that metric stuff makes no sense.
I cheated to get to "No" (Score:2)
I used old dollars. If Bitcoin was priced in pre-inflated money, then it wouldn't be worth the helium in the balloon.
In MEPR terms, I bet I could tweak my filter to block all of the gamblers who are playing Bitcoin games. I really don't care what they say as long as they aren't wasting my time by expecting me to see it. However, it's a bit hard to figure out which MEPR dimensions would be most useful in this specific case... High on gullibility? Low on risk aversion?

On more thought, I decided I had to change to "Yes", but it's still a really stupid poll. If someone is being paid to prepare these polls, it's too much money.
But considering the wild oscillations of cryptocurrencies, it is almost certain that any cryptocurrency will "hit" any value at some time. Real value is a completely different thing, and however skeptical you think I am about the "real value" of cryptocurrencies, in reality I am MORE skeptical than that.

If "all the metrics" were pointing to that with high reliability, then the price would be nearly $200k right now, discounted only for the time value of money over the course of the year.
Bitcoin remains an asset of pure speculation. One of the ironic things is that while Bitcoin advocates talk about it like it's a "hedge against inflation", it's actually the most inflation-susceptible asset you can get, and moves directly opposite to treasury rates (most notably seen over the past week, but also in past cycl

A better poll might be "will shitty ape NFTs break $1,000,000 before the end of 2020".
I genuinely wouldn't want to speculate on that one, it's impossible to say how far the madness will do.

Crypto currencies are just NFTs for money In the sense that they are intangible and ultimately worthless, yes. Each bitcoin is fundamentally only a receipt to say something used a lot of energy to calculate an arbitrary sum which proved nothing other than that some work was done. It is worthless. Cash in. Be the first. Get out now.

Better poll: Will Slashdot still be around by the end of 2022?
With Trump out of office and Wuflu taming down to common cold level, there's nothing left to argue about anymore. Articles scroll off the main page with 8 or 10 comments on them.

How about a new poll:
Will BIZX (the owners of Slashdot and a private currency exchange platform) disclose their Bitcoin holdings in 2022? Yes/No?
I mean, you should just come right out and say it. Slashdot is a tool you use to inflate your investments. I mean, you don't even advertise your own service on it. Does the business plan rely on some kind of stealth pump and dump?
How much cryptocurrency does BIZX hold right now? You should let us know so at least we know for sure why every third story is about

You bet. I was wrong, and you have my apologies. Not the first time I've been wrong here on /. and probably won't be the last! :)
Constant bombardment about crypto from absolutely everywhere is (obviously) getting on my nerves. It hits me hardest here because it was the one place I trusted for interesting brain fodder, and I'm just sad about it.

Hey whipslash, sorry to reply off-topic but I've run into a rather alarming issue with some recent Slashdot content:
https://slashdot.org/poll/3209 [slashdot.org]
That's a poll on "what is the best 'new' social media platform" where there are 6 platforms available as options, 4 of which are basically purpose-built alt-right platforms and 2 of which are blockchain-based systems which also tend to be mostly filled with far-right content.

Ignore the current value or the value at the end of 2022. What is the likelihood that anyone will be using Bitcoin in 10 or 20 years? I'm not talking about all crypto, just Bitcoin specifically. Does anyone really think that Bitcoin itself is future-proof and will 100% be used?
I think there is a future in cryptocurrencies, but I'm not sure Bitcoin is that future. The energy requirements around mining, the slow transaction speeds, the regulatory hurdles, the volatility in its value, the nonstop stories a
