20 sats \ 7 replies \ @Undisciplined 14 Mar \ parent \ on: How Is Bitcoin’s Intrinsic Value Beyond the Fiat Price Tag? bitcoin_beginners
You are not talking about things that are essential, because humanity survived for its entire history without bitcoin.
You're talking about things people want.
Yes the things that people should want and value more.
The price tags in fiat aren't the reflection of their true value because these tags are often influenced by many external factors including governments.
And I agree to surrender I can't win over an economist, I accept.
But I now completely believe that Bitcoin's fiat price tags are a myth.

We agree on the last point. If nothing else, people aren't valuing bitcoin properly because almost no one understands it, yet.

I want to tell you here that Bitcoin is more expensive in India than in USA if we value it in fiats. Why is so? It means that the external factors are at play. While Bitcoin’s true value transcends fiat price, you're right very few people understand this.
It should be 1 sat = 1 sat.

That's interesting. It implies that something's going on in the FOREX market and people are using bitcoin to arbitrage it.
reply
Yes. May be people are doing it but I'm not aware of it. I'm just aware that Bitcoin's fiat price in india in INR is more than the price in USD.
And so many times the difference is more than 10%.

So, if everything's functioning smoothly, you'd expect people to exchange to dollars and take advantage of the lower price.
Which means there's some sort of friction preventing that from happening.
