It's become very easy to buy it so know-how is no longer a barrier. It's also an international asset so anyone in the world can buy it. There are still a boat load of technical issues that need to be fixed but those will be fixed.
This does not mean that it can't collapse every so often but long term it's only going up.
Don't make it your main investment but buy a little on a regular basis. 10 yrs from now you will be happy you did.
It won't go straight up at all times; there will be corrections.
But its price will be higher a year from now, also in 5 and 10 years from.
How much higher?
As fiat currencies collapse and central banks continue to print trillions of dollars, euros, etc., the value of bitcoin will continue to go up.
And even if you're right and bitcoin somehow becomes a global reserve currency, you still don't want to buy right after a price spike do you? Wait for one of the corrections you yourself forsee...
Bitcoin is a non-sovereign, hard-capped supply, global, immutable, decentralized digital store of value. It’s an insurance policy against monetary and fiscal policy irresponsibility from central banks and governments globally.
Being a fiat currency requires it to be decreed for transactions, a unit account, etc. by a government or other sovereign entity.
There’s no such entity behind bitcoin.
Bitcoin has been the best preforming asset for the past 12 years—better than gold, stocks, bonds, etc.
It's quickly closing in on a $1 trillion market cap.
