<prompt> Human: I have recently been thinking of investing in Bitcoin but I am not sure about the pros vs cons.  <response>: Its a currency and only holds value because people are willing to exchange it for things. If your primary goal is to make more USD from it, then youre speculating that someone in the future will pay more for your coin than you paid. People made money on beanie babies this way, but a lot were left holding the bag too.The pros are it was the first, and its popular, which has lead to increased USD value, but it stucks as a cryptocurrency; others have better fees, transfer times, and control mechanisms.The cons are none of that matters because its only important if you can convince someone down the line to pay more for a coin than you paid, which likely is why you see such blind euphoria and circle jerking about crypto.
