Tom, these are great points. Bitcoin does have practical issues; I know I've made many costly mistakes with Bitcoin and crypto in general. The wallet aspect needs and should be improved. The pollution narrative feels like a red herring. Think of the polluiton required for the banking system, gold mining, or even renewable resource production.

I'm mixed on stocks. The voting right part is a farce for most average holders as our votes are not substantially meaningful. Additionally, ownership in a company also involves risk and many companies are operating at a loss.

A house makes sense, but again, very few people own houses. The vast majority are on mortgages owned by banks. The tangible vs. intangible seems to be a generational gap. I believe older generation value tangible significantly more than younger people. This lends well to the Bitcoin narrative as it is a digital solution.

I agree that diversification is important and smart. However, I believe Bitcoin should be apart of everyone's diversification at the level they feel comofortable and confident.

Thank you for your thoughtful response. Your arguments are extremely well thought out and valid and I appreciate your counterpoints!
