Every "permissionless transaction" is an action of supplying and demanding, the "immutable ledger" is the proof that the action happened in the past. The price of Bitcoin, as the price of anything in life, is determined by supply and demand. Stop glorifying stuff using specialized language because people will actually believe you are the opposite of gifted. Reading "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman will do you good. The price of Bitcoin will remain forever volatile as the system is inherently flawed and nobody has faith in it.

Usually I block trolls, but in the lack of such a functionality on HN take this comment as my last interaction with you.

Of course it's not, it's simply a transaction; it doesn't need to be between two separate parties. I don't think you understand Bitcoin as well as you believe, you have it confused with an economic theory.

Reading "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" will do you good.

The way you express yourself makes me think you have just switched accounts.
Good to know. Can you explain the difference between a permissionless transaction and the economic theory of supply and demand?
