The price isn't the thing that matters the most about Bitcoin...

What matters the most is that nobody can take my coins from my wallet if I don't want them to and that I can send the coins to anybody I want, however much I want and whenever I want.

Really? So it doesn't matter that the bitcoins in your wallet are now worth about 1/4 of what they were a few months ago?

Where did all that value go? My guess is a lot of it is sitting in fiat bank accounts someplace under the control of Binance and Bitfinex.

You've been robbed and you don't even know it.

That’s it’s utility as a currency. But the only reason you care about it being a currency in the first place is because of its purchasing power — value. Once it has value, then those properties are meaningful.

I genuinely can’t tell if this is satire.
