    Bitcoin lost 20% of its value in a month. It’s great for speculation, but it seems like a shitty thing to use as a currency.

        It’s likely you already are bought in if you have a typical 401k investment setup as several large firms have btc on their books. Small as it may be, it’s likely there.

        Why? Because a whole bunch of it is locked up somewhere? That’s already the case for bitcoin. Only a tiny fraction of the total supply actually moves. The vast majority is either in abandoned or lost wallets, or being held.

        That’s not what makes a currency stable. The Fed wouldn’t need to work so hard if that’s all it took.
