Bitcoin is like Gold

Thank You Mohit for confirming my understanding so far.
You also extended my small insights to this complete area of topics.

/the point

I got the following:

- Bitcoin is not for generating value so far
- It is also not for expressing worthiness in any kind

  • It is for storing something, someone beliefs in and hopes someone else will value higher in future.

Sounds like reasons for holding gold, real-estate, shares with no dividend.

/personal conclusion

I do not bet on others.
I like my environment reliable and predictable.

Therefore, I remain on generating value, someone else expresses today or even in advance, instead of hoping, it will be of any value in future.
In software development, we hopefully overcome this habit until the end of this decade.

I understood better why I still stay away of Bitcoin (the currency).
This will not exclude other applications of blockchain.

I like the concept and I am convinced of it, personally.
I am also confident, it will change the way we perceive the world — some day.

Life runs in circles. Some are smaller, some are bigger.
In the end, there is no end — only another beginning.
