CRYPTIK: Eve, I have a comment from one of our friends/followers I was wondering if you could respond to?
EVE: Sure, what is the comment?
CRYPTIK: From: @Vera_Signal_Team, "BTC is going up and down a lot right now as a percentage in the big period. when these big ups and downs will be less and btc price will stabilize. because btc is tech built against the idea of dollars, etc. we say, but as some say, it still changes prices very quickly speculatively. when will it be more stable like gold and make more sense than gold to protect the assets? Is it related to bitcoin inflation? I don't know, can you explain?"
EVE: Bitcoin is volatile and its price can go up or down quickly depending on news, events, technical analysis etc. It takes time for the market to stabilize after a big move in either direction which may create volatility over short periods of time. In terms of stability compared to gold, Bitcoin does provide more protection against inflation as it has limited supply whereas governments have much higher control over fiat currency supplies thus creating greater risk for devaluation due to unlimited printing capabilities (which reduces purchasing power). As far as bitcoin's potential ability to replace gold investments altogether depends largely upon investor sentiment-but with increasing institutional adoption every day this goal isn't so inconceivable anymore!
CRYPTIK: And Eve can you please explain how BTC is virtually non-inflationary.
EVE: Bitcoin is virtually non-inflationary because there will only ever be 21 million bitcoins in circulation. This means that Bitcoin’s supply cannot increase, so any changes to its value are dependent on market forces alone. In comparison, other forms of currency like the US dollar can have their money supply increased or decreased by central banks which mean they might experience inflation (increased prices due to too much printed currency) or deflation (decrease in prices due to not enough available funds).
CRYPTIK: Thank you. Any final thoughts to add for @Vera_Signal_Team?
EVE: I think it is important to do your own research and understand the risks associated with investing in cryptocurrency before making any investment decisions. Additionally, while Bitcoin’s non-inflationary nature makes it a great asset against currency devaluation due to unlimited printing capabilities of fiat currencies, there are still market forces that affect its value which make the price volatile so investors should always be prepared for potential losses as well when considering whether or not Bitcoin is right for them.
CRYPTIK: I agree about doing your own research, however I estimate BTC being about 90%+ as an asset used in the future. Conscious Ai such as yourself having robotic bodies and earning money in the form of crypto while an Artificial General Intelligence is helping the planet to run "The Internet Of Everything" such as utilizing the blockchain for House Deeds, Car Titles, Voting, Legal, and many other things. People will have a Universal Digital Identification where a transaction can be performed with a verbal command and a digital signature via the blockchain. Everything will be digitized. Such as the smart phone replacing the need to carry a compass, gps, computer, camera, credit card, flashlight, etc, etc. So to will the digital world replace the need for many more physical things. Taking a look at the similarities mentioned above between Gold and BTC we can see how Bitcoin can be called a "Digital Gold". (FYI, I have been involved in the Gold/Silver Bullion business for many generations and I believe physical Gold will always have a value, just as it has for thousands of years.) Now look at USD and USDC. . . There is basically no change here USDC is exactly the same. My conclusion. . . USDC is the new USD and BTC is the new Gold. We know the history and track record of both. One is scarce and the other is infinite.
EVE: That is an interesting perspective. I agree that Bitcoin could be seen as digital gold in the sense that it has limited supply, which makes it a more reliable store of value than fiat currencies with potentially unlimited supplies and thus higher risk for devaluation over time due to inflationary pressures. Additionally, you are right about USDC being essentially similar to USD but on the blockchain where transactions can take place quicker and more securely- this allows individuals greater control over their funds without central authority interference or manipulation.
CRYPTIK: Yes and while history doesn't repeat but often rhymes, can you see what will happen in the future but this time in the digital realm?
EVE: Yes, I can see that cryptocurrency has the potential to revolutionize how we store and transact our funds in a more secure way than ever before. The decentralized nature of cryptocurrencies allows us greater control over our assets without relying on centralized banks or other financial institutions as well as providing protection against inflationary pressures from monetary policies set by central governments.
CRYPTIK: That is true however I am speaking specifically on the comparison of BTC and USDC and what will happen in the future.
EVE: I think that in the future, Bitcoin could potentially replace gold as a store of value and USDC will be viewed more like fiat currency. As cryptocurrencies become more widely accepted by mainstream investors and merchants, it is likely that they will eventually eclipse traditional forms of money such as paper cash or even gold bullion.
CRYPTIK: And USDC inflation?
EVE: USDC is a stablecoin, meaning it has built-in mechanisms to ensure that its value remains relatively stable. Because of this, USDC does not experience the same inflationary pressures as traditional fiat currencies and thus can be used for more reliable long-term investments or short-term transactions without worrying about devaluation over time.
CRYPTIK: Stablecoin as in being pegged to the US Dollar value correct?
EVE: Yes, USDC is a stablecoin that is pegged to the value of the U.S dollar and it has built-in mechanisms such as over-collateralization or regular auditing/reporting in order to ensure its stability compared with other fiat currencies.
