Even in a timeline, our goal isn't just to list events based on our own understanding, it is to provide context from reliable sources so readers can understand the bigger picture. 1022:
begins to fall and fall and fall vs USD,EUR and GBP, then eventually someone begins to think "whow how cheap gold has become" and it will be more and more expensive again, as people and investors buys again. That's the nature of gold. But has BTC and the other any similar kind of nature ? Doubt that.

and taxes behind the cryptos. All there is, is some kind of strange trust. And from where is that trust coming ? The block chain is just cryptography. And I can´t see a value based simply on that. A currency in general must be accepted by all within a certain geographical. A replacement for barter.

I think this could be of benefit to the article. Crypto currencies are sometimes compared to gold. And indeed there is "paper gold" with the same value as physical bars. Still with physical gold to back some of it up. With crypto currencies there is nothing that backs them up whatsoever. (not to my

has a much wider scope than just the 2018 bubble, given that there were several cryptocurrency bubbles in the past that should be added to that article. The 2018 bubble was a fairly significant phenomenon and in my opinion deserves an article of its own. It's similar to how there's an article for
552:"most common use" of a guideline is not a requirement. When somebody says "cryptocurrency bubble" what they are saying is a "prediction of a collapse of an economic bubble in cryptocurrencies." What do you think they mean? Let's not try to confuse the subject matter. 1206:
This content and one of the two sources is entirely redundant with the preceding entry. I have therefor consolidated the two entries. The connection to the cryptocurrency bubble is obvious and is supported by sources, although more context would certainly

The value comes from its uses and properties, the trust comes from its consensus mechanism and security through proof of work which allows to have a currency with rules that are simple and not subject to the intervention of a centralized and human entity.
1148:@Peter39c I think you misunderstand what this article is about. It's about the cryptocurrency bubble, not about bank collapses. Can you produce a RS that establishes any relevance of the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank to the cryptocurrency bubble? -- 507:
You're mistaken, I didn't add it back. There is no policy, or even guideline, that says the bolding should be limited to the article title. Sometimes it just isn't possible to include the article title in the first sentence. Check somewhere in
492:, as I think it just doesn't look right. Normally only the article title is bolded. I guess you must have added it back since then. Please explain. Seems to me this big bolded sentence violates weight or probably other policy as well. Thanks. 537:
which says "The most common use of boldface is to highlight the first occurrence of the title word/phrase of the article (and usually its synonyms) in the lead section." I dont think usage of in this article fits with this guideline. Do you?

Now it's organized by profession of the people who make the bubble claim (economists, central bankers, business execs). I might try to organize it by the nature of the claims (irrationality, criminality, etc.) but that could also be a

I've added and copy edited a lot of material here. Before I started it was a real mess, random claims, interrupted with random denials. At least the claims of "Bitcoin is a bubble" are now clearly documented.

If/when the 2021-2022 crypto crash bottoms out, it will probably need its own article assuming the crash is as bad as it looks. If things keep going up like they are now and all is happy then maybe not.

Bitcoins has become more of a strange investment. The 99% use seems to be about a hope that the BTC will rise and rise vs real currencies. Whilst gold has a value in itself. Like this: if a

The section on bitcoin is dated, with the latest price info from 20 October 2021. More about the recent crypto crash should be added to this section. Anyone, anyone? Thanks!
1315: 904: 111: 832:. This crash will remain notable (in both Knowledge's technical sense and the colloquial sense) no matter how many other cryptocurrency crashes might occur in the future. — 886:. I suggest a large-scale merge of this page's Bitcoin-related content, which seems reliably sourced, to either of those articles. This page could read something like: 107: 1247:
While this is connected to the cryptocurrency bubble, these sources don't explain it. The first doesn't mention crypto at all, and the second one only in passing.
