This is interesting, and a little ironic (in the sense of a player in a drama who does something without understanding its full significance) because it means Bitcoin is seen as the primary unit of account for the people investing in ethers. I want to talk a little about why this might happen. This is why it is possible for two people to prefer such wildly different behaviors from their units of accounts. The dedicated verification team works diligently to review submitted documents and validate player accounts promptly. The verification process is designed to prevent fraud, money laundering, and underage gambling, creating a safer environment for all players. Gaelic Gold invites players to explore the enchanting landscapes of Ireland. Hilo is a card game where players guess whether the next card drawn will be higher or lower in value than the previous one. I guess Bitcoin must not be such a terrible unit of account if that’s what people are using it for. The irony is that once you start using Bitcoin as your unit of account, then you’re using it like money, which means that you’re not using your altcoin investments as money, which is the only thing they’re good for.
Buying with them feels like using the colorful foreign cash during a vacation overseas. It just feels like everything is becoming rapidly cheaper. It no longer feels quite like real money. When I use dollars, they feel like play money to me. If you believe that Bitcoin will become the world currency, then it makes no sense to use anything else. If you are skeptical of Bitcoin, then it makes no sense to use Bitcoin as a unit of account. The more people start to compare everything in terms of Bitcoin, the more they’ll start to demand something that’s actually useful. Ok, so sure Bitcoin accountancy works within Bitcoin, what about interacting with the rest of the world? In fact, it works great. This also works fine. Not bad at all! Thus, to say that Bitcoin will fail because it is a bad unit of account is to say nothing more than that it will fail because it will fail.
Not a bad feeling. If the prices of ethers and litecoins are compared in terms of a common denominator which moves with them, then their similarities are less evident and their differences more evident. From the standpoint of someone trying to choose between Ethereum and Litecoin, the price changes common to all cryptocurrencies are uninteresting. You want to end up with as many bitcoins as possible, so it makes sense to price any investments or ventures in Bitcoin. The most important question is whether the mining rigs will mine more bitcoins than they cost-dollars don’t enter into question at all. Other businesses that perform Bitcoin-related services also must think similarly because one must always ask for any investment in the business, did it earn as many bitcoins as it cost to create? Upon entering the Bitcoin world, one gradually realizes that dollars make a lot less sense in this new world. Suppose, for example, that one considers getting into Bitcoin mining. I really like this development because it shows that people are getting more skeptical. That’s just Bitcoin’s way of telling people to keep holding it.
Bitcoin’s utility as a unit of account depends on what you already believe about Bitcoin. This reddit post also suggests that Bitcoin is like a unit of account for these people. Among people who think cryptocurrencies are going to be a big deal, you really want to compare everything to Bitcoin because it’s the most obvious winner here. It just means that all prices in Bitcoin are rapidly falling. Investors have chosen to do this by comparing prices in terms of Bitcoin. If Bitcoin prices rise or fall against the dollar, then other cryptocurrencies will tend to move similarly. In the short term, cryptocurrencies tend to trade against the dollar in the same way. Someone still lost in the dollar world looks at Bitcoin and sees wild and extreme volatility, whereas someone in Bitcoin looking back at the dollar sees the worst and longest economic crash in history. What I should have said is that Bitcoin is a great unit of account-much better than the dollar.
