At least we agree on something.
You don't know how to plot supply/demand curves. You have never seen a set of supply/demand curves. Your entire comment is nonsense.
Seriously, you can educate yourself out of ignorance! Fix your ignorance!

"Supply and Demand" as "basic economics" only works in niche cases.
Wow, another Dunning-Kruger genius who is about to win a Nobel prize in economics by proving all experts wrong.

Nope. Econ 101 fucks up. The COST is set by supply/demand.
Dunning-Kruger is strong with you.
neither neither supply nor demand is necessarily generated by need.
This shows your ignorance. You live in a parallel universe called "ignorance." There are two curves, a supply curve and a demand curve. Where they cross is the price.

Only because no one has figured out how to force you to pay for it.
If someone forces you to pay for something, it's a distorted market. That's a different scenario.

So there's not a lot of hope that Trump will push Bitcoin up to $250k anymore. Wouldn't surprise me if it settled around $45k (based on organic use of legal and illegal money transfers).

Having no intrinsic value means there is no floor to its value, unlike gold which at least exists physically has some uses.
Having intrinsic value does not mean there is a floor to its value. The value is set by demand and supply (ie, how much is available and how much people are willing to pay for that).
For example, air is arguably the most valuable thing we can possess, far more important than gold or even water. Yet, I will not pay a single cent for it because it is so abundant. I don't need to pay for it.
(You might consider watching some youtube videos about economics or something, solidify your understanding so you don't write stupid things.)

Northern winters are a little too chilly to be sticking my hand out the window to adjust the rearview mirror.
How often do you adjust your side mirrors? For me, it's once and then leave it there the rest of the life.

There are some people who just can't be rehabilitated.
No that is too strong a claim. The best you can say is, "There are people we don't know how to rehabilitate."
Our understanding of the brain and psychology is so weak that over the next century or so, our knowledge is going to increase dramatically. Not long ago, people were seriously doing lobotomies (there's an argument to be made that we are still doing it today, but with chemicals. Certainly our understanding and treatment of ADHD will improve dramatically in the future, and what we do now will seem archaic if not barbaric).
