You didnt mention the role of capital, which is stored savings. Dig in to the role and benefits of stored monetary reserves, how bitcoin does this and cant be inflated, and you might get pissed off when you realize savers have a great escape mechanism from the huge government bailouts of failing industries (airlines, cruise ship lines).

If you can get out of debt, you may see the benefit of bitcoin as a store of value. If you are in debt slavery, you of course want easy money to make your debts easier to pay.



Bitcoin may ultimately become a store of value, but highly volatile asset classes are not what people look for in that.
