Once people see Bitcoin and how it works, they realise this isn't just a flash in the pan.

Bitcoin as an asset class is brilliant, as a means of payment, fantastic.

In truth, the best Bitcoin can hope for is to be a second-rate version of gold, if that.

With Bitcoin hard-coded to be limited, it’s like a collectible.

There is no more reason to believe that Bitcoin will stand the test of time than that governments will protect the value of government-created money, although Bitcoin is newer, and we always look at babies with hope.
