In 5 years you either get $15,000 or 1 Bitcoin. Which one would you chose today?

[Coolthulhu]

Given I wouldn't even notice having 15k more, I'd take the lottery ticket.

[DesoPL]

None. Fuck money tbh.

The problem with Bitcoins is that the only inherit value they have is what people think they have. So it could be worth 15000 dollars. Or it could be worth absolutely nothing. All that is needed for Bitcoin to be worthless is for people to lose confidence in it. Just like any other fiat currency.

1 bitcoin is not even fair compared to 15k which is gonna be 15k in 5 years too and bitcon rarely above 15k so... it should be either 5-10 bitcoin or 15k usd. That would be a gamble but sane people would not pick a made up currency over real money.

If 1 bitcoin is worth $15,000, then how would I buy something that costs less than $15,000?

[Deleted]

I give you $15,000 or 1 Bitcoin. You have to chose NOW what you want to get, but I will give it to you in 5 years.
What would you chose?



Current BTC price at the time of posting this is ~7600$

Mostly pointless as the answer Bitcoin is dumb - unless I own less than $7.6k or inflation makes $15k 2024 worth less than $7.6k today. Barring such hyperinflation, I can just chose the Dollar reward and buy 1 Bitcoin at today's price.

Serious question?

Bitcoins are highly divisible, I think down to the 1000ths maybe even less.

If 1 dollar is worth 1 dollar, the how would I buy something that cost less than 1 dollar ?

About same level of stupid.

Pretty much what the person above has stated.

Well, there's denominations smaller than a dollar in USD, and I don't know anything about bitcoins and if there was smaller denominations....which is why I asked the question you arrogant piece of shit.
