This article, and the others like it, are clear signs we are already back in the euphoric state of a financial bubble. Nobody was writing articles like this one when Bitcoin went from $20,000 to $3,500. Nobody wanted to be associated with such a disaster, and nobody proudly proclaimed their investment genius during an 80%+ drawdown.

Now that we get articles like these, people will get sucked in just prior to the next 80%+ drawdown. And sometimes, prices don't come back. There is no real reason it came back last time.

Further, I found the Bitcoin safety section amusing. You invent an imaginary place to store your imaginary thing of value. Does nobody see the insanity in this?

Later in the article, you noted that "Users own and give technology value." Which clearly means it has no intrinsic value at all. At least with gold, you can make the argument that in a zombie apocalypse, you can stand in front of gold and defend it. Although both gold and Bitcoin are similar in that they produce no income, gold is physical and actually exists. Bitcoin is completely imaginary.

Lastly, don't underestimate the value of Bitcoin created by illegal activities. Criminals have used Bitcoin both to move and store money. If governments create a real ownership registry, there will be a mass exodus of urgent sellers as criminals work to prevent detection. Without the convenience Bitcoin provided them, the demand from criminals will disappear. A great deal of money moving out and never returning is not going to be good for prices.
