I applaud the originality of the statement, but there's a good deal of trust in the cryptocurrency ecosystem compared to 2009. I understand if you're personally still a skeptic.

No, supply and demand is an economic theory, it would be imbecilic to confuse the two, the way you did.

Do you even know what a "permissionless transaction" or an "immutable ledger" are? Do you believe Bitcoin has achieved both?

Bitcoin's value partially derives from permissionless transactions on an immutable ledger, if you'd actually been following it from 2009 you'd know that (but you don't).

> Bitcoin would have today 0 value because it is boosted only by FOMO (fear of missing out)

An incredibly tired take (but it's cute that you spelled out "FOMO" and abbreviated it). Compared to 2009, 2021 is the future, where the value of BTC is not 0. We don't have to speculate incorrectly as you do when you say "Bitcoin would have today 0 value," we know what value it is.

You completely failed to predict the effect of BTC and cryptocurrency on the global financial market, which supports your idea that "we cannot predict future trends." We can make educated guesses though.

<font> elements! It really is from 1996. I haven't seen code that outdated since the frontend of Hacker News.

...that should get you most of the way
