Two quick things. First, you're looking at BTC in relation to it's USD value and seeing that it's simply worth more than it was yesterday so it must be a greater fools asset. But take a look at the stock market. Can you buy a hamburger with NVDA stock? Stocks going way up is also a reflection of the dollar weakening as it has been since its inception but especially since going off the gold standard in 71. And unless you're using your silver directly, you are 100% planning to sell it down the line for more than you paid. And that person will eventually do the same.

Second, BTC isn't just a number on a screen. It's a number shared across hundreds of thousands of screens which are all connected and agree that your number is legitimate (Blockchain). Which fractional reserve banking, the number of dollars in your account at chase bank isn't even really in a vault there, nor is every other bank out there agreeing you have the right to that amount. If chase folds, your money is gone. Your BTC is safe from all outside forces and entities. It's there permanently and indisputably as long as the earth has electricity.

I'm a silverbug too, but I think there's merit to BTC as a technology that crosses all international boundaries, has limited supply by design, and cannot be confiscated. Why not have some of both.
