“Desperation and impatience” aren’t compliments. In any case, you can pretty easily look up the daily value of Bitcoin and confirm my point. 

My rule is that I only invest in assets that generate a return, like a stock. I make an exception for gold and silver, as stores of value between trades. 

Bitcoin is purely speculative, but that’s OK. Fine if you want to do it, but I prefer speculative assets like shares in startup firms. If anyone starts selling bitcoin in quantity, the value will crater.
