Bitcoin per definition the same like gold or any other supply restricted commodity money.
It has the same issue like the gold, with constrained supply the increase of its users lead to deflation, and that means initiative to remove it from circulation as the source of increasing wealth, enforcing further deflation.
most likely the transaction volume of it will collapse, with the value increase, and finally in the future, during a financial crash or something like it will collapse in value, as everyone struggle to get cash, and never recover again.
Bitcoin is as much manipulated as GME.One major difference... no one can create gold, it can only be discovered and is finite amount. Gold was created in belly of dying star that went supernova.. real energy went into creating real matter that then of courses take human effort to extract...
Mining bitcoin is a complicated math and computational cracking problem for no good reason. Anyone can create a bitcoin clone or competitor, in that sense the supply is infinite and the value prop is due to social network effects....
5000 years from now gold will still have value, bitcoin? going the way of SecondLife
Bitcoin has 0 intrinsic value and is only pumped up by the whales who are telling the rest to buy so they can exit.
