A Reddit Post From 2011 Said $3 for BTC is Entirely Reasonable

Two years after the development of the first-ever decentralized cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) in 2009, a post on the social media platform Reddit argued that $3 is completely reasonable for Bitcoin (BTC) and said, “to expect it to rise is missing the point of money”. The Reddit user said that the figure $3 does not seem sustainable for Bitcoin. Now, the price value of Bitcoin holds around $11,700 at the moment.

Blockfolio, the famous cryptocurrency portfolio management application has shared this Reddit post that claimed that the $3 figure is not sustainable for Bitcoin while arguing that the first-ever cryptocurrency was overvalued. The Reddit post showed a skeptic attitude toward the price value of Bitcoin trading at $3. This is what the Reddit post from 2011 stated:

“Just from looking at some bitcoin mining calculators, then the +100% return on capital per month you could be making at the peak seems somewhat unsustainable. And it seems that if you assume free electricity then you’ll be making around 10-20% return per year on capital invested in mining gear at current price levels, which isn’t bad…And it’s important to remember, currency is a tool to facilitate transactions, it’s not something you hold or print to get rich In the long run the current price is far closer to something sustainable.”
