And up x,xxx% the past 5 years. People have short memories. Heck, in 2020 it was only around $9k.

I suppose short memory is good when remembering is painful.

I remember when ETH was about $100. BNB was $40 months before I had enough spare money to enter this market. I have one family member who once held several bitcoins but sold them at $70.

I went up x,xxx% from basically nothing though. Going up the same percentage in the next five years from the current price is another story. I wonder if this might be contributing to the popularity of NFTs as a new, alternative thing for people to risk their money on.

In modern times people want fast results. Bitcoin is not up to this task.

[kevinak]

What kind of fast results are you actually looking for? Is sub-second transactions not good enough for the vast majority of applications?

[amelius]

0% increase in 1 year is too slow; given the sub-second transaction delays people expect better results, faster.
