In order to start a new beverage to compete with Coca Cola would cost at least $100 million just to set it up. And in order to be successful, at least a billion dollars: The cost of entry is huge. And the risk of failure substantial. So the risk of competitors sprouting in that industry is negligible. And Coca Cola has established itself as successful only after many decades in business.
With new crypto currencies the cost of entry is comparatively trivial. So it is likely there will be thousands of cryptocurrencies developed over the next 20 years, all competing with each other as being the most convenient to use. Should BitCoin get to the million dollars you predict, there will be tens of thousands of new cryptocurrencies developed. The great majority will, after a flurry of interest, simply disappear from existence swept away in a deluge of competition, with owners holding a handful of worthless Bytes.
Why would anyone bet a significant amount on BitCoin, specifically, being one of the survivors?
But if you know the answer, please tell us, what is the incremental cost of producing a new cryptocurrency unit? (Not just a BitCoin unit. A ‘generic’ cryptocurrency unit.) In a competitive environment the unit price is likely to settle eventually not a very great distance above that level.
I also have gained the impression that the posts I have seen lately on various discussion groups around the internet, pushing BitCoin in particular, are not being done by people keen the help their fellow man with a great investment suggestion. I have never seen anyone else here, for example, pushing ANY other type of investment. So it looks indistinguishable to me from a coordinated promotional effort (just like the ‘boiler room’ stock promotions of the old days where, when the sucker says to the promoter, “Thank you, I’d like to sell now”, the answer comes back: “Who to?”
But please have fun with it on money you can afford to lose. A lot of people have lost a lot already.
==============================================================
When enough new crypto currencies have emerged and the supply of them rises to exceed demand, their values will all fall to the incremental cost of producing more of them. Which is negligible.
==============================================================
I would compare your argument to cola soft drinks. Although there can be any number of cola drinks in the world there is only one Coca Cola. It is still not cheap and Warren Buffet would argue that it was a good investment. Bitcoin is the Coca Cola of crypto currencies.
Throughout the world people are bedevilled by the hyperinflation of their fiat currencies. At present the US dollar is widely regarded as a safe store of value by both individuals and governments. As a result many of the dollars printed are never spent but are hidden in bed mattresses and bank vaults. But all good things come to an end and if those dollars should ever find their way home then the US too could experience serious price inflation as does any country that seriously inflates its fiat currency. People throughout the world desire a stable store of value so where might they look.
Bitcoin is the Coca Cola of crypto currencies and IF technology is developed that allows its safe, stable, fast and easy use for everyday trade it could easily replace all world fiat currencies since it cannot be inflated and it cannot be controlled. In my opinion a single Bitcoin could easily exceed a million dollars in today’s terms if adopted as a worldwide currency. A Bitcoin can currently trade down to one 100 millionth of a Bitcoin (0.00000001 BTC).

Hi, You probably saw how Bitcoin increased over 900 over the course of last year. It was wild – but not totally unprecedented if you’d been watching cryptocurrency over the last several years. And here’s the crazy thing; There are many other coins that still have tons of room to grow. You may have heard of Ethereum, Litecoin, Ripple, and others… …but there are more coins – and many more opportunities – Follow this link to get the full story. http://bit.ly/-cryptocurrency Best regards
= = = = = = = = = = = =
In economics terms the explanation is simple: The recent rise in crytocurrency values has occurred purely because demand for them has recently exceeded supply. When enough new crytocurrencies have emerged and the supply of them rises to exceed demand, their values will all fall to the incremental cost of producing more of them. Which is negligible. It might be under one dollar. I bet the inventor of BitCoin has already cashed in, and is sitting in his newly-acquired mansion on the IntraCoastal Waterway laughing.
Buying them at these prices is participating in what in investment circles has long been known as “The Greater Fool Theory”. That refers to the situation when a belief arises that if you buy something at a totally silly price today, an even bigger fool will be happy to buy it from you, at an even more ridiculous price, later.

Dear Dr. Rossi, electric cars use battery energy not only for locomotion, but also to condition the temperature inside the car.
In summer they have to cool off, and on cold days they have to heat the cockpit.
All this reduces the battery charge.
When in the future the E-Cat will also be certified for private use, it could be installed on all electric cars (an immense global market).
The heat generated by E-Cat could in fact be used to heat the car and, in summer, it will be able to power an air conditioner to cool the car.
Moreover, if the E-Cat could also generate electricity, it could supply the car battery, considerably increasing its charge and autonomy.
Is this hypothesis a dream or do you think it could happen in the future?
Matthew Browder:
Sorry, but my opinion is that bitcoins are a frame for a ponzi scheme that will defraud the massive last wave of the persons that will buy them.

Those who propose desalination by distillation using the E-cat either do not consider or are not aware of the mineral scaling issues of the boiler vessel. Maintaining and descaling these vessels is an ongoing labor intensive process without which they become inefficient and soon fail. Scaling of reverse osmosis membranes is much cheaper and manageable.
The cost of water by R.O. in the latest plants has dropped to less then 50 cents to produce 1 cubic meter of potable water or 264 gallons. That’s less then 0.0018 per gallon. This is still about double traditional potable water, but they continue to improve the process.

They are also working on extraction of minerals from the R.O. rejected brine. It was estimated that the market value of just Na, Ca, Mg, and K, if successfully extracted from the rejected brine of a desalination plant in Saudi Arabia, would be approximately $US18 billion per year.
Note R.O. is still energy intensive for operating equipment such as the pumps etc… Should E-cat technology provide cheap electricity, the cost would decline further.
One of the disadvantages of using an oscilloscope for voltage measurements is the display of higher voltages is limited by the screen. For example, if I have 10 vertical divisions on an oscilloscope and the zero voltage setting is in the middle, and the scale factor is 1V per vertical division, then the maximum voltage I can display is 5 Volts. The plasma could be formed by a very short pulse with very high voltage and the oscilloscope would only show a vary narrow vertical line to +5 Volts. I do not know this for a fact as the information is confidential to Andrea Rossi. But this could address your question.
