Any service can provide value, and Bitcoin does provide value: secure peer to peer transfer of money without a third party, nearly instantly. Why do you say there is zero use case? But like any service, its users decide what it's worth and sometimes that means network effects impact the value. I'm not making an argument for how much value this is or should have, but please stop saying the value is zero. It simply isn't true.

On paper, sure. But that just is not the case in reality and probably never will be.

All kinds of speculative assets exist solely to hedge and make money on. The algorithmic traders on Wall Street aren’t trading soybeans futures because they can eat them. They’re making money. If people see price fluctuations in anything, and I mean literally anything, there will be people trying to capture those alphas.

I should also point out I’m not bullish on crypto. I just acknowledge it’s unique asset class, and I don’t think it’ll just disappear.

I understand that speculative trading exists.

I'm saying people will continue to speculate on soybeans because they will always have some value.

With a purely speculative asset, the market will eventually run out of "bigger fools". At that point, any speculative trader will look at the asset and say "Why would I pay more for this than the 0 dollars it is worth?"

How long do you predict until Bitcoin hits a price of 0 dollars?

Once the last fool has bought in.

How long until then?
