Lets see - do I want to stock up on fiat currencies where cabals like The Fed can manipulate interest rates and dilute my investment?

I seem to like the idea that no one country can mess with my BTC.

But there is no FDIC insurance on Bitcoin wallets.

Except the federal government doesn’t consider BTC to be currency. Unlike the dollar as fiat currency, BTC can be subject to capital gains taxation when you use it.

Everyone can mess with BTC. That's why it's so volatile.
