Should you invest in Bitcoin

One of our more fun clients for our FV Player video player for WordPress recently wrote me:

btw.. i hope you invested in bitcoin like i told you…

Here’s my answer.

I don’t invest in systems where I have no control. Bitcoin could just disappear tomorrow and one fine day it will.

Here’s how it will go down:

• Bitcoin will be a threat to the USD
• the US Treasury will declare Bitcoin a means to conduct illegal business
• an American citizen holding Bitcoin after a certain date will be a felony (the American market falls out). Investigation can be made on suspicion (basically break in and confiscate all your electronics and demand your password).
• international citizens suspected of holding Bitcoin will be sanctioned along with any entity who transacts business with them
• the international market bottom falls out

Cryptocurrency then dead. The only currencies who can withstand US pressure are the rouble and renmibi as those are two sovereign nations already under considerable sanctions and economic pressure.

Cryptocurrency is a dead end. It’s great play while it’s here but its demise will be sudden and absolute.
