> "Bitcoin remains a strangely useless asset that doesn’t do anything. All you can do with it is buy, sell, or hold."<p>I have to laugh at people confidently making naive comments like this.<p>How about: all you can do with it is store and transfer your wealth in a highly liquid, divisible, digital and fungible form without any use of the state or fiat banking system, which means that it can't be stolen from you through supply inflation (even the US dollar is HALVED in value every decade), or through legal frameworks such as "taxation" or bank bail-ins.<p>A nice addition is that you can't be debanked if you hold opinions that the state doesn't want you to (e.g. Canadian trucker protests).<p>No other asset can offer this (even gold's value halves every 3-4 decades through supply inflation).<p>So yes, just "a strangely useless asset that doesn't do anything"
