No you put your "stash" into an asset that cash flows. Bitcoin doesn't always go up. I mean yeah it's going up forever Laura, but realistically there are 18month 24 month down turns where your value could be better held or grown elsewhere. Don't use custodians.

OK gimme an example
Okay perfect example. Bitcoin goes to 250k we all know it's going to have a blow off top and start to regulate back towards the cost of production, which is directly correlated to the hash price, when retail bitcoin is the same or close to the cost of production you buy buy buy. As it goes up 3x 4x or 5x the cost of production you leverage out of the position so you can capitalize on that 4x 5x increase if you just hold btc all the way through you lose out on the oppertunity cost of 5x
