With how volitile the USD is under ahem this administration, Bitcoin is probably the slightly less shittier option.
If only there were some other major currency, maybe controlled by some larger union of countries so that one country's poor decisions can't tank it

Seriously, I do not have faith in USD anymore. What's left of my paycheck after bills all goes to BTC, and I sell what I need on demand to cover day to day costs. Been doing this since 2019 and it has paid off handsomely.
It returns 50-80% on average... so yea, it's better in that context.
I didn't really parse what your comment is saying. Are you saying that whenever you buy BTC you later sell it for half your buy average? Or are you saying like 150%?
Is it just you or are you implying that everyone loses/gains 50% from the magical BitGoblin?
On average, if you hold bitcoin over time, you would average that in profit.
Thank you, I appreciate the clarification.
