    One thing that has changed is that more people realised there is no utilitarian value in BTC. It is nothing. It's no commodity, it's not even useful to pay with.

    It's nothing but a speculative asset only held by people hodling to it. You've known this for a time, but it's how all those pyramid schemes are built: you know it's a scam but hope you got in early enough and someone else will get burned.

    This is not to say it will not skyrocket again, or that an actual use for it will not be discovered.

    I'm just saying it's nothing but hot air from a million GPUs.
