  1. Chapter 501 - Bitcoin Criticisms & Fallacies I

501.1 Lesson - itsaBubble

Screen: itsaBubble

Headline: Is bitcoin a bubble?

Reward: 2

Text: Over the years, bitcoin has often been called a bubble by various people. While its price has had several significant declines that may have warranted this label, the overall trend for bitcoin has been consistently upward.

Critics who have proclaimed the death of bitcoin after each market cycle have been proven wrong, as the nascent digital money has continued to thrive despite their predictions. As these critics run out of analogies to use, it has become clear that their accusations are unfounded.

=================================================================
