Exactly! The biggest arguments I have around Bitcoin are 1: Even if you can treat it like an asset, it's an unproductive one. 2: It's too easy to have some sort of problem and lose it. At the end of the day, I see the long term value of BTC going to zero. I feel lucky to have had some at one point, just to have that experience. One day, I saw that Bitcoin sitting in my wallet, and realised I didn't really care anymore. It didn't solve any problems I was having, and I couldn't do anything with it other than look at the balance or send it somewhere. I'd rather have my future wealth come from value I create, than some asset I happen to hold.

Regarding your last sentence. Trading your time for money will take a long time to build wealth. Wealth is usually created by holding assets.

  "I'd rather have my future wealth come from value I create" He doesn't say anything about trading time for money. If he creates value that scales, he can divorce his time from the money he makes.

    I'm having trouble coming up with an example. Can you give an example of value that scales but that isn't an asset he holds?

      I prefer assets that I create, or have an active role in such as patents, and businesses, and code.

> I'd rather have my future wealth come from value I create, than some asset I happen to hold. There is no dilemma here.
