Re-mortgage: 3.3%Scary figure for the youngsters borrowing to get into crypto...
- not so scary if they are smart enough to pay off that debt fast with the gains they made.uan
- then everybody wins. Once you have some crypto, you lend it to the crypto banks and you get interests you can use to pay off the cc debt.uan
- ^ that's wishful thinking. Never has there been a bubble where the majority wisely took profits to pay down debt.formed
- in a way the actual crypto system teaches you to value your coins...you see the value grow. like how the banks used to be before the 70ies I was told.uan
- so instead of teaching you a consume mindset like what the cc banks do, you hold them and let the bank invest for you.uan
- they use state of the art investment software and share the growth. (at least till now).
I'm starting to believe it's built in in the algorithm of bitcoin...uan - ...it shifts your mind on the concept of value.uan
- I totally disagree with that (but welcome to read facts to the contrary). What I see is bubbles everywhere - NFT's, etc. People have a false sense of 'wealth'formed
- and are living like that money 'made' is already a done deal, but like stocks, until it's turned into dollars, it's all on paper.formed
- and as Buddha posted, it's insanely leveraged, meaning that when things crash, and they always do, these kids will be not only broke, but massively in debt.formed
- [meant to say "respectfully" disagree :-) ]formed
- :-) I agree on the fairly common false sense of 'wealth'. But the last drop this week, the kids went 'it's a trap'. just wait it out.uan
- as long as the price is low, they stock up more bitcoins and they only make € when they don't lose too much crypto.uan
- Too risky for my blood. I know that if stocks drop 30-40% they'll come back, eventaully. Crypto I don't have that faith. I think if btc dropped 60-70%, whichformed
- it could easily do in a few days, it could race to 0 even faster. I saw the dotcom bubble burst (and felt it). It can happen in the blink of an eye.formed
- Currently, EVERYTHING is priced to perfection, which is just unstainable. BTC has no value beyond speculation. Ethereum I am far more interested in.formed
