It’s not beneficial to be distracted by the price all day. If you don’t know anything about Bitcoin yet, you’ll have to believe everything others tell you about it. Become immune to FUD and FOMO by doing your own research.

For example, you can learn what the double-spending problem is, which Bitcoin ultimately solves. Or read the original Bitcoin white paper published by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.

Ultimately, Bitcoin (not “crypto”!) is eventually a more dominant store of value with superior monetary properties than other assets:

It is divisible, fungible, censorship-resistant, verifiable, portable, digital, open-source, global, impossible to counterfeit, permanent, programmable, decentralized, recognizable, fully predictable in its monetary inflation rate and provably scarce.

But that’s not all; Bitcoin is based on the immutable properties of mathematics rather than physical properties or trust in central authorities.

Bitcoin additionally fulfills the properties of money (not to be confused with the term “currency”):

  1. Medium of exchange
    Bitcoin can be used as a medium of exchange for goods and services.
  2. Store of value
    Bitcoins can be held for a long time period and can also retrieve their value. It does change over time; however, most other forms of money also change in value due to fluctuating inflation rates.
  3. Unit of account
    Inherent in its design, Bitcoin is created as a unit of account. Bitcoin utilizes an exchange rate based on current currencies but has an independent unit of account.

All of these features combined are the reason why, in my opinion, Bitcoin will prevail.

And by the way, it is already in the top 10 of all assets by market cap:
