      I know you're joking but keeping bitcoin now really does feel like a poor investment given it's showing no signs of ever being revived.

          yeah I mean it just depends on time horizons, if you bought at 117k you are hurting now if you need the money ASAP.

          Also, I gotta say I do not think Bitcoin is a bubble or whatever (IMO a real value there), but really this sort of site makes it seem like it is a bubble with the sort of &quot;blind to history&quot; boosterism.

          Go read Reminiscences of a Stock Operator, or Market Wizards series, Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, or any number of books about financial history and there are endless people saying &#x27;it will never die and all the doubters are just wrong&#x27; before any big market crash.

            It&#x27;s worth saying something with real value can still have a bubble - both bicycles and the internet were huge market bubbles at one time, but they&#x27;re also undeniably valuable.
