Bitcoin has no income, owns no assets, holds no patents... so it’s investment value is exactly zero.And you can’t short sell it so there’s no “check” to balance the system like stocks, REI, interest rates, futures.Early holders will make massive gains at the expense of everyone that comes in later, a Ponzi scheme without the decency to even provide us with a charismatic individual figurehead, maybe Hal 9000 we could say...
