3 Value Bombs
1) Through the years, Bitcoin has proven itself. No one has hacked into Bitcoin. You can buy it, sell it, move it around to pay. But first, you have to understand that it is not a physical product.
2) If Bitcoin goes up, MicroStrategy goes up more.
3) Bitcoin is more than money. Someday, the entire planet will be in a Bitcoin standard and it will be a better place.
