Bitcoin went up and down certainly. But remember that:

- it cannot be confiscated by govts. - afaik we arehaving inflation. so yes it changes the value but so do dollars and can be confiscated.

I do not see as crazy buying some bitcoins in the future. It is guaranteed to not be at the expense of irresponsible govts. doing policies.



> it cannot be confiscated by govts.

Say what? The US government alone has confiscated _billions_ in Bitcoin. Use search term “confiscated bitcoin” and you’ll find thousands of examples trivially.


Curious: how did they do it? I mean, they emitted a law? Because in theory if you keep them safe and anonymous noone should be able to do it.

Maybe it is not impossible but more difficult than alternatives?
