> Everyone and their uncle knows a crash is coming

A crash is always coming. Be it stock market or bitcoin. Everyone knows that but nobody knows when. It is just like saying we all are gonna die. Nobody knows when.

True, but someone with an end stage terminal illness shouldn't buy a car.

I'd say that's the best to buy a lambo.

especially on credit

Someone I know was in such a situation. He bought or leased (I don't remember) a nice car a week before he passed.

The payments got passed on to his children, who didn't want to deal with that in the wake of their dad's death.

Why not? What would they be saving their money for?

Doesn’t matter. If you’re going to die soon, get a lease. Fill the car up with the remaining dollars.

The question is how soon is soon. I remember saying the exact same thing 3, 4 yrs ago when these 2 same guys were then saying bitcoin would go to $10000. It was something like $600 then and I thought they were totally nuts and that was a sign of a bubble if anything. Now I wish I had bought a few coins back then

> Now I wish I had bought a few coins back then

This kind of regret is exactly how you know it is a bullshit scam. No real-world investment behaves like bitcoin. It is massive, souped up penny stock designed to suck in libertarians and tech nerds.

Plus, who the fuck wants to adopt a "currency" where only the early investors get to be rich? Like, a vast majority of the BTC wealth is in a tiny, tiny fraction of people who were mining BTC way back in the day. How in the holy heck is that something you'd want in a mainstream currency?

> Like, a vast majority of the BTC wealth is in a tiny, tiny fraction of people who were mining BTC way back in the day.

Isn't that also true of fiat currencies though? Most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, and passed down through families as inheritance over centuries.
