 How can you rationally model the future price of #bitcoin when it trades on irrational knee-jerk emotions?

Models will break because mathematical engineers only look at logic

They don't factor in emotion

 There's a logic of emotion. It's just wayyyy more complex if you want to model of correctly with some of the particulars.

 Everything about Bitcoin is math 

Protocols don’t give a fuck about mere mortal human emotions

Mathematically Bitcoin becomes becomes more scarce over time

Mathematically Fiat becomes less scarce over time. 

No emotion changes this over the long run.

 I'm only talking about #bitcoin the token not the protocol

All projected price models will fail

 Study the history of bitcoins price performance and you will find that you are wrong my friend.
