A comment on Bitcoin is a disaster. Parent comment

This is a pretty silly comment. It's you that's cherry picking. The overall trend of Bitcoin over its lifetime has been up. Any complete analysis of its time series would tell you that. Buying at any point in its history would have been a good idea.

This is the same argument Wirecard shareholders always made.

No it isn't. I am not arguing that the price going up makes it good. That would be silly. I am merely disputing the characterization of the prior comment as 'cherry picking'.
