Anything we say is not to be used as financial advice. And with bitcoin crossing the $10k threshold earlier in the week, it is no wonder people think it is a bubble. It dropped below $1,000 in June of this year and has skyrocketed ever since. In less-than-6-months, bitcoin has increased in value by quite 1,000%. To many, it is a sure sign of a bubble. To others, it is a unique chance to form a fortune during a short period.  When confirmed, the exchanges are put away inside the public blockchain across the entire organization.  

But let us step back for a second. believe it in terms of economics. Once you check out a supply and demand graph, you see that as supply increases, demand decreases. And as supply decreases, demand increases. Demand is made through something called "scarcity." Scarcity means to be briefly supplied. Believe it like water during a drought. On the flip side, rain during the monsoon is in extreme excess. And other people want nothing to try to with more water. These are examples you see in the real world, but let us check out scarcity in terms of crypto. Even if all of these millionaires want an entire bitcoin, it is impossible. There are not enough bitcoins to travel around. 

Scarcity builds demand and contribution of blockchain. Now, within us (and other well-off countries), people do not necessarily see bitcoin as anything aside from an investment. But that mindset fails to require under consideration those that are suffering from economic crises. Consider Venezuela. They are facing quite 4,000% of inflation. Their fiat currency is useless. In November 2016, there have been quite eighty-five thousand accepting the cryptocurrency. Predictable with Digiconomist's Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index, Bitcoin excavators utilize more energy than 159 nations, including Ireland. The cost of each Bitcoin rises, an ever-increasing number of diggers endeavour to tackle the issues, devouring much more energy.  

That stat maybe a year old, and Venezuela continues to be plagued with an economic death spiral. So, the amount is unquestionably higher. Quite 100,000 miners have entered the sport within the country. Bitcoin is more stable the Venezuela's fiat and thus is seen as a viable sort of currency. Now, we have seen bitcoin's value within the eyes of the rich, and we have seen its value within the eyes of these in economic crises.
