BTC is still in a bubble and there is not much news about it :)
Ironically, it's the banks that drive the price of Bitcoin these days. Along with the "Bitcoin whales": hedge funds, investment firms, and billionaires, they're all in on the speculation.
Is there update for 2025? This is a general rule of all media. After 4 cycles you can pretty much feel at which stage the BTC bubble is just by the amount of coverage there is. The current one feels sluggish.
Yeah, Bitcoin was in a big bubble in 2017. If you were dumb enough to buy BTC then, today your portfolio would be a devastating +400%.
People are generally not interested in discussing assets in depth. Or any other topic for that matter.

It would be so awesome to have a forum where intelligent, grown up people discuss the possible futures of Bitcoin. Or any other asset. But I have not found one yet. If anybody knows some place, please please post a link!

I remember when bitcoin post appeared first on HN. It was trending and lot of people were curious about technical details and people joking about viability as currency.

I even started mining for a brief time on work desktop which I had to uninstall immediately of course.

Of all the things, people calling Bitcoin a bubble would have to be the most reasonable in hindsight of any group who got a prediction wrong. It is hard to argue with the reasoning and the observations. Goes to show, the economy is a funny thing.
Well, they were wrong, and anyone who bought low before, are now rich today. It is quite funny if you think about it.
