If you're a serial killer I would highly recommend against taking any kind of DNA sequencing. But in the US many people with rare diseases are afraid of losing their medical insurance, and paying with Bitcoin is a specific request from them. As for me I don't care about insurance at all, I just don't trust the banking system enough to keep my money with any bank (except the Norwegian thin bank that has a 1:1 reserve ratio, but I don't have the minimal amount of $10M to have an account with them).

- xiphias2 6y agoBoth the stock market and housing market correlates inversely with the interest rates, so actually buying stocks doesn't give you any diversification, but if you're afraid of buying Bitcoin, you could just buy some gold as an alternative store of value. Another option is to just put 1-4% of your portfolio into Bitcoin, which still is a great hedge against the current financial system, and actually decreases the volatility of your current portfolio (if you have a house right now). Having your money in fiat currencies is just giving 10% of it away to your current leaders.
