Gold, my house, my truck, Bitcoin all by definition have value.

Gold, your house, your truck, all have both a price and real underlying value (on which its price is mainly based). Bitcoin has a price, but no real underlying value supporting it. For this reason, therefore, Bitcoin is more akin to a fiat currency than it is to gold, your house, or your truck. Bitcoin's price is X because that's what folks are willing to pay for it at the moment, and that's the only reason.



Heh.

Well,,,,duhhh.
