    It’s secure and it’s decentralized. No other currency offers both. If you don’t mind trusting banks and governments to manage the money system its not a big deal. But when they fuck it up, it’s the average person that suffers. Taking that power away from them is good for humanity in my opinion.

    If I’m being realistic, I’m not all-in on bitcoin. I have a variety of investments. But bitcoin is beating them all, by a lot. If you plan to invest in bitcoin and cash out in a few months for a profit? Yeah, that’s a gamble. But long term I think it’s a safe bet.

    I treat it like a security for now. I’d like to use it as a currency at some point in the future after it has more widespread adoption. I see it kind of like the internet in the late 80’s/early 90’s right now.

    I’m not an expert on the technical hurdles, but I think the lightning network can resolve most scalability problems.

    I can’t speak for everyone, but I have faith it won’t go to zero because I think it solves a real problem and that people find it useful. As a crypto it is unique because it has first mover advantage and is completely decentralized. And the longer it’s around, the less likely it is to go to zero.
