Bitcoin is capital; it is a store of value. Why?
Because it has many of the characteristics required for that role-arguably even better than gold-and, most importantly, because the market has chosen it for that role. Its market capitalization has reached trillions of dollars, and not simply because people speculate on selling it to someone else at a higher price.
Long-term Bitcoin investors, who generally do not drive short-term market movements, often have a very different philosophy. They follow a powerful and deeply rooted set of beliefs. When Bitcoin, existing outside the traditional financial system, reached a market capitalization of trillions of dollars, the financial establishment faced something it did not know how to confront. So what did the system do? It bought it and began selling it on Wall Street.
This is the real strength of the system: when faced with a potential threat, instead of fighting it, it absorbs and monetizes it. Bitcoin was originally anti-Wall Street. It was not created to be used by BlackRock, JPMorgan, MicroStrategy, and other large institutions. It was designed as an alternative to the traditional financial system. However, this institutional adoption may actually be beneficial, because institutional markets provide much greater amounts of capital. In any case, Bitcoin has largely failed as a currency-not because of a flaw in the technology itself, but because a truly independent global currency cannot realistically exist while governments maintain monetary sovereignty.
Instead, Bitcoin is increasingly being marketed as both a store of value and a high-risk, high-return asset. In the past, it was viewed primarily as a speculative asset. Today, it occupies a position somewhere in between. In the tuture, as its market capitalization grows and its volatility decreases, it may eventually be viewed predominantly as a store of value. $BTC (+0,47%)
$MSTR (+0,85%) is great to buy and sell the btc sesonality and make a lot of money. For the long term still better buy btc in my opinion. Btw They are not just buying bitcoin but tranform in into credit instrument (with strech they are struggling a bit but hey it's not an easy path !).
