About this community and how I post the comics⦠Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

I'm not a fan of participating in money laundering schemes
You oppose the US dollar backed global banking cartel?
Just saying that, by far, the most common ways to launder money have nothing to do with btc. It can be taken advantage of by criminals just like usd or any currency. Go to a casino, exchange usd for chips, cash out chips...laundered. Apparently it's very easy no matter what currency you want to use so not liking btc is fine but it can't be because is laundering.
To be fair, USD is used for things that aren't crimes as well. Bitcoin has no utilities other than crime and speculation

Once, I almost bought four whole bitcoins.
But then I thought "Man, $100 is a lot of money."
My brother decided that Bitcoin was likely to steadily increase in value (in the long term) and spent about a thousand bucks to buy three of 'em. Then he got hit with some surprise money trouble and had to liquidate, losing about a third of his investment.
He was not amused when BTC became an investment hype.
It may not help much, but remember that it was the rational decision at the time. There is really no reason (other than hype) for the value of Bitcoin to move the way it does.
If you don't play the lottery and the numbers that you would have picked win big, then not playing the lottery was still the rational thing to do at the time, because the chances of winning are so astronomically slim.
Imagine if everyone who played the lottery wound up richer, at most, 2 years later. Imagine this kept happening for nearly 20 years while everyone kept saying playing the lottery was stupid and you could never win. Oh, but I'm sure THIS TIME the people saying that are right; THIS TIME it'll be different and THIS TIME you'd really have to be a fool to buy any. Just like all the LAST TIMES, right?
This comic came out in 2017. Name a better investment that you could have made at that time.
EDIT: Lol, lots of people upset that they didn't buy in 2017. Too bad, so sad. Everyone will buy Bitcoin at the price they deserve.
How many people lost fortunes since then? Was it a net positive?
If they lost their fortunes through Bitcoin, that means they sold their Bitcoin for less than they bought it, that's literally the only way they could have lost money. And they would have had to have held it for a fairly short time for that to happen given the historical price of Bitcoin.
If I pull all the money out of my 401k early and have to pay enough of a penalty that I lose money, does that mean 401k's are a scam? Other than the obvious part about them shifting the retirement burden onto individuals and killing pensions, of course.

How many people lost fortunes in the 2000 crash? What about the 2008 crash?
Market go up, market go down. Bitcoin go up, Bitcoin go down. You donβt have to believe in it, itβll happen.
A whole lot less than the ones using crypto.

The only thing you can be sure will happen is that you will get scammed if you stay too long.

There is really no reason (other than hype) for the value of Bitcoin to move the way it does.
Sure there is. It is a limited resource which can be exchanged for other things of value (goods, services, currency).
where can you go and buy a burger and a sodie pop with Bitcoin?
Where can you do the same with gold?
Gold is a physical good with intrinsic value and real uses beyond it being valuable.
ETA - gold is also generally bought as an investment (or jewellery/decorative purposes, or for industrial use), not for use as a currency.

It is a limited resource
Bad joke
Your Mom is too. Yet I'm still seeing her for free
(BTW, you're just wrong. If something being a limited resource that can be exchanged for services and goods means it is unstable, why aren't we seeing that with Euros? Dollars? HUF? insert currency here?
which can be exchanged for other things of value
...yet if we look at the triangle of investment, it neither has stability, nor has it got good liquidity, leaving only profitability. And since the job of a currency is being stable and liquidible, it fails at those completely.

Have you ever heard of anyone using bitcoin for anything other than speculation? I haven't, and I often spend time in those circles. If you send btc you have to pay a lot on transaction fees
As long as the transaction fees are less than the value you're transferring, there's still value left to exchange. This is part of what drives the price.
Whether people do use it beyond speculation is not relevant. Another part of its value is that you can use it beyond speculation.
That is the thing. The person you replied to didn't say "bitcoin can only be used for speculation" they said "there is no reason for the value to move as it does (beyond speculation)". which means that it IS relevant. Otherwise you are saying both " yes there are other reasons" and "it's not relevant if there are other reasons"
