I really don't know how much higher it will go, either. I don't think much, because I think a lot of folks are gonna see it stall a little bit at some point fairly soon, decide it's time to cash out, create a kind of run, and then the bottom drops out. Hard to say when that will be, but I wouldn't expect the price to get to six figures. Most people who are buying now are in for a quick buck. They don't get any utility from bitcoin and they're probably not invested for the long-term.
This is sort of the funny thing about bitcoin. It's supposed to be a currency. It's supposed to be facilitating transactions, but the owners of it in a lot of cases now are just buying it because the price may go up. They actually are hoarding bitcoin, which is not the point of bitcoin. They aren't using it for its intended purpose. So, I wonder what the actual value of bitcoins are. Like, surely they have some, but if you're just buying it to sell it later and make some money, they essentially have no real utility to you outside of their value as an appreciating asset.
You never know who you’re going to end up riding with when you call a ride-share. If you suspect your fellow passengers might have just escaped from a secret human-farming facility, these six signs are a dead giveaway.
1. They set their destination for somewhere called the Soft Lands: No one likes being taken on a huge detour by new passengers in their UberPool, but if you’re riding with people meant to be harvested for parts, you might have to grin and bear it. People fleeing from human farms tend to want to escape to the Soft Lands, or the Warm Place, or whatever safe haven they’ve only ever spoken of in furtive whispers while huddled in their pens. And if they’ve punched that destination into the app, expect at least one of them to shout from the passenger seat that the Soft Lands are only a myth or a children’s fable that will get them all killed.
2. They’re getting some kind of residue on the seats: Human farm escapees might still be sticky with the brain wave–conducting bio-bath they’d been floating in or from the amniotic gel of the techno-womb that just rebirthed them. Chances are, if the other passengers in your UberPool are ruining the upholstery with a thick, goopy residue that smells like ozone and copper, they’ve escaped their human farm recently enough that whatever fluids from the tube they were suspended in haven’t even had time to dry.
3. They’re hoarding all the water and snacks: Mini bottles of water, granola bars, and even mint Life Savers are unspeakably precious to people who’ve only ever eaten processed protein slurry made of their fellow livestock. As soon as they spot whatever the driver’s got to offer, any passengers who’ve escaped from a human farm will probably start cramming huge handfuls of Jolly Ranchers or 5 Gum into their makeshift overalls.
4. They visibly panic every time a car horn sounds: It probably reminds them of the Culling Siren.
5. They’re all the same person: This one’s a dead giveaway. Three completely identical men with no hair and barcodes on their cheeks might be going to some kind of high-concept rave, but much more likely, you’re riding with a whole batch of synthetic humans who couldn’t bear to break free without the other members of their herd. If that’s the case, be polite and sit shotgun so they can all huddle together in the back seat and mourn their missing fourth.
6. Their necks explode partway through your trip: It’s every driver’s nightmare. You drive a car full of what you’re pretty sure is human contraband across an invisible perimeter and suddenly explosive pellets in their necks explode, coating the whole interior of your car in blood and shards. Most human farms worth their salt have an anti-theft system to keep runaways from getting too far, so a simultaneous neck detonation would pretty much confirm that you were riding with escapees. Of course, by that point, it’s kind of moot.
i think clickhole is the horrifyingly absurdist humor website we need in these dark times.

Yeah. But based on the influx of people buying in at Thanksgiving and with the holidays around the corner as well as CME’s decision to sell futures, it should be on the way to the mainstream for a while. As long as there are enticing profits being made, I think people will continue to become interested for a while. I realize most are in it for the money and not specific use of the currency, but nowhere else on the legal side of crack dealing has these kinds or returns. Gone are the days or 1000% increase or more in a year with Bitcoin specifically, but there should be other platforms and currencies offering that opportunity as the technology evolves. From my understanding, it will be around 10 years before supercomputers will be able to break the code, and you have to assume the technology behind it will evolve by then. Maybe.
I think the approach I’m going to take is to stage withdrawals back from the original ante. If I pulled out 1k at 12,500, 1 at 15k and 1 at 20k, that would leave enough house money to play with to have fun without going broke or losing any money. Obviously that would be a mistake if the value were to get to 6 or 7 figures, but it would be nice to still have a safety net by recouping original principal and not having to risk anything. ?
Also, it seems to me that the real money to be made is trading currency to currency as specific ones rise and fall sharply throughout the day. It’s too intense for me, but I know there are mfs writing algorithms and following charts all day making that bank off the spreads.
For an investment as risky, volatile, and unprecedented as crypto, the best strategy is to not invest more than you can afford to lose and just hlod. If it all goes to shit little harm done.

Also, litecoin.
Yes, also buy litecoin. It's the only crypto I'm buying now.
Wildest commute I have had to work yet this morning. Involved coming within inches of hitting a state trooper, a cop trying to throw road spikes on the interstate, a small pickup truck hitting over 100, and what looked like SWAT trucks.
It seems like Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies are a massive bubble just waiting to pop at some point. I wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10 foot pole, but then again I have a massive distrust of the financial sector and speculative investing and whatnot.

While you're certainly employing a sound strategy there, it's unfortunate that I could have doubled money in 2 weeks if I wouldn't have been greedy. A couple of Saturdays ago when Bitcoin dipped back to $5,500, it would have doubled in 2 weeks when it hit $11,200 yesterday. I had my finger on that buy button but wanted to see if it would fall further. In no time it was up beyond what I was willing to pay. So I'm going to have to be more decisive next time it dips that hard. I'm only looking to get my money back at some point (which really isn't much) and then play with the house's money just in case some of the predictions of $100k or $1MM come to pass down the road.

massive distrust of the financial sector is kind of what bitcoin is all about.
while it's seen right now as an investment, it's supposed to be a nontraceable digital currency beholden to no bank or government.
EDIT: having said that the PRICE of bitcoin can be affected by anything, so someone at Goldman Sachs says "bitcoin bad" and the price falls, China talks about "banning" it and the price falls, etc. But it's really not supposed to be a get rich scheme.

Sound advice for investing in general.
I agree buy and hold is great general advice for investing. But I wouldn't dollar cost average into crypto the same way I do into a 401k. I'm comfortable investing a percentage of my paycheck in an index fund that spreads risk around. It will go up and down, but over time it should just rise. Bitcoin on the other hand could crash to zero in the next three weeks. So my crypto strategy is just buy what you can afford once and hlod. That's just me and my risk tolerance.
So my work does this thing where they highlight a different employee each month and post about it on social media. They asked me to answer some questions sometime back in July for this, and I answered in a casual and good-naturedly smartass fashion. I'd done similar things for prior employers and they always edit my responses to be more boring, but my current employer edited nothing which makes me happy. How do y'all think I did:

Felt like watching this gave me a newfound appreciation for ""War Pigs," a song I already love. Heard things I had never really picked up on before. Also they're just really fun to watch.

I like how the guy on the right clearly likes the drumming and seems to have been on a journey of appreciating drumming more and more based on the songs they've been listening to. That's cool. Plus them pointing out the lyrics and all the meaning behind it and just appreciating a song on a deeper level than they were aware of is great. I usually don't like a lot of "reaction" videos but this was good.
It is expected that in the year 40,272, Voyager 1 will come within 1.7 light years of an obscure star in the constellation Ursa Minor (the Little Bear or Little Dipper) and in about 40,000 years, Voyager 2 will come within about 1.7 light years of a star called Ross 248, a small star in the constellation of Andromeda.
