 It sounds like you need to study Bitcoin more. As you will eventually realise that it's the best form of money that's ever existed, and storing your time and energy in anything else doesn't make sense.

 Thanks for your response, Stu. You may be right. But what if you are wrong?

 I am still a physical precious metals bug, because I believe in self custody, and in a grid-down situation I think it's a good idea to have a universal money that I can exchange locally for goods and services.
But anything digital or paper may as well go into bitcoin, as it's like gold, just better in every way. Sure you can't physically hold it, but that's an advantage when you can just store it in your head.
Bitcoin is like a virus, ultimately it cannot be stopped, even if the internet goes down, nodes and transactions can still be transmitted in other ways.

I've been sniffing around Bitcoin since 2011, and I think we are still at the stage where not many people understand it, and we're early in the adoption S curve, but now enough people get it to really want it to succeed.

Remember how people thought the internet wouldn't catch on? I do. It feels the same to me.
