Hm... Not so sure about this, I doubt bitcoin can be seen as a very safe investment at all, it's definitely not stable and I doubt a lot of people invested in it because it was the safer option.
if you're sufficiently adept, your BTC is safer than your bank account money
I hate having to repeat myself on the same page of the thread, but that's why Bitcoin will always be in demand: because your BTC will always be safe. You can't say that about anything else to the same degree, which is why it's the ultimate safe haven, as long as that inviolable ownership characteristic remains stable.
All the below assets are subject to the "......aaaaaaaaaaand it's gone" problem
- bank accounts
- pension funds
- stocks
- bonds
- property
- commodity based (gold + others)
if someone with sufficient political power wants to take any of the above from you, they can (it's happened before). That's why Bitcoin is valuable and in demand, it cannot be confiscated (from people who are capable of protecting it)
