We don't need a long explanation, bitcoin is considered the best investment asset today because there are stories that it has increased in price millions of times, many people have become millionaires by holding it for a few years...is being spread around the world. Many people don't even know what bitcoin is, how it works, what its supply is...they know nothing about it but they know that it can keep going higher and they invest in it.
Another reason why Bitcoin is one of the best assets someone can have is that the Bitcoin that is already circulating is the only one we know will be there, so the thing is that since there will not be more Bitcoin to be produced, the ones here will definitely be adding value over time, and as time goes on, their price will surprise many people.
If bitcoin surprises many people, the price will reach places we didn’t even expect because many people are not getting to know how bitcoin investment is going to boost someone's financial status when we hold it for a long time. However, I won’t say it is the best asset or one of the best assets because we are not viewing it the same way.
It is the way you understand Bitcoin that is how you will invest on it because so many persons has invested in Bitcoin and the go into handed because they have not comprehend the systematic way of investing in Bitcoin but today many people are investing in Bitcoin due to they have understand they advantages and the disadvantages of Bitcoin,
You are right. It is always unfortunate to invest in bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency without knowing the proper way to do so. If you invest in bitcoin, however, not only in bitcoin but in anything, even in a physical business, the risk and how to manage the risk involved in such a thing are not always advisable. It is not always advisable to invest without knowing where we are putting our money. We may lose or get scammed.
