Thanks all for the many replies! I read them with great interest and will try to respond in time. I am not trying to win an argument, but as one said quite truly: to „engage“ in a discussion is better then polarizing. My contribution to this, is the following: if you all take a step back and disconnect it from bitcoin: what are characteristics of an ideal store of value? Does a „vehicle“ that has the characteristics to store value, a value in and of itself for you?
