[2020-08-24] Why We’re Holding Bitcoin as a Reserve Asset

[Karartma1]

Let me ask you a question…
Would you rather save money in a currency whose supply is inflating each year? Or would you rather save in a currency whose terminal supply is programmatically fixed?
Given everything going on in the global economy, this is a question we’ve had to start taking seriously as Snappa continues to scale and produce growing amounts of free cash flow.
It became even more important when our bank slashed the interest rate on our “high interest” savings account to 0.45% earlier this year. This means that the purchasing power of our Canadian and U.S. dollars is actually decreasing after adjusting for inflation.

Fortunately, I believe we now have a far superior savings technology available to us. That technology is Bitcoin.

Very good news and also a good source of Bitcoin info for newbies.

I had to make that decision a few times recently.  I had several purchases to make in the $5K range.  I really wanted to pop 0.5-1.5 BTC just to take all the "strain" out of my scenario, but in the end I grabbed long hard fought for cash deciding to let every single BTC just keep rolling.  I wouldn't have missed 1 BTC but math tells me I made the better move.  Of course my "math" is long term prognostication that it will rise faster than my other portfolio components.

This is not what people think when they choose for a method of saving. They ask "which currency will retain the most of its value", and while fiat currency lose some value, Bitcoin is completely unpredictable and can lose a lot of value in short time. Even if in the past it performed as a great investment, it's still not suitable for saving, because it is risky. For the purposes of minimizing risks, a strong fiat currency is better than Bitcoin. This is why people around the globe hodl US dollar if they are afraid that their local currency may fail. And if you are afraid of US dollar crashing, you should pick gold.

This was indeed a good and positive news. However, there was a thread that's posted earlier than this on the economics section.
