Watching Bitcoin prices reach new highs, the onlookers can't help but wonder: Is this thing's rise so exaggerated a bubble? Will it suddenly crash one day, trapping everyone? Or, does Bitcoin represent the direction of the future, and this rise is just the beginning? Different people have different views on these issues, and each side has its own reasoning.

Optimists: Bitcoin is "digital gold," with unlimited potential in the future.

Many loyal supporters of Bitcoin (commonly known as "Bitcoin believers") believe that the rise of Bitcoin is not a bubble, but a reflection of its true value. They have several arguments: first, the total supply of Bitcoin is fixed and will not be printed excessively like fiat currency, which gives it anti-inflation properties and the potential to serve as gold in the digital age. As global central banks continue to print money, concerns about currency devaluation are increasing day by day, and Bitcoin's status as "digital gold" will become more prominent, leading to a natural rise in price.
Secondly, the decentralization and security of Bitcoin make it a whole new asset class that is being accepted by the mainstream financial system. Major companies like Tesla and MicroStrategy have already included Bitcoin in their balance sheets, and some countries are also using Bitcoin to store wealth.
Optimists believe that more funds will flow into Bitcoin in the future, driving its price to continue to rise. Today's Bitcoin is like the early internet, currently in the process of value discovery. It seems expensive now, but it may become unaffordable in the future.

Pessimists: Bitcoin is just a speculative bubble, and it will eventually end up in a mess.
They feel that the price of Bitcoin is rising so absurdly, it is completely the result of speculative trading, just like the tulip bubble of the 17th century and the Internet bubble of 2000. Firstly, Bitcoin has no actual value support, it does not represent ownership of a company like stocks, nor can it generate rental income like real estate, and it is even less like gold which has industrial uses. Its value almost entirely depends on people's confidence and willingness to buy and sell, and this "fool's game" will eventually become unsustainable.
Secondly, the volatility of Bitcoin is too great, making it fundamentally unsuitable as a currency or a stable store of value. Can you imagine buying a car today with Bitcoin, and then Bitcoin crashes tomorrow, effectively halving the price of the car? Such drastic fluctuations make it difficult for Bitcoin to become a medium for daily transactions, relegating it to a speculative tool.
Once again, governments around the world cannot long ignore Bitcoin, as it challenges the authority of fiat currency and the financial regulatory system. Once regulation tightens, such as banning financial institutions from participating in cryptocurrency, cracking down on Bitcoin mining and trading, the prosperity of Bitcoin could collapse in an instant.
Pessimists also like to draw lessons from history: back when the Dutch tulip bubble was at its craziest, a single flower could be exchanged for a house, and in the end, it was worth nothing. Bitcoin is so crazy now, and when it crashes in the future, it will also leave countless people destitute.
