Governments print paper and declare that their creation has value, yet we watch all government-issued fiat currencies hyperinflate, and then trend towards zero, in real purchasing power.

Bitcoin started out at zero, yet the free market declares it's worth $60,000 currently, in real purchasing power.

Bitcoin is indeed "volatile" (well, not lately) but it is not "risky" any more, because it's always trending long-term upward. The dollar is indeed "stable" (well, not lately) but always trending downward.

You will *never* be able to purchase a gallon of gas, or a dozen eggs, for $1 again, will you?

You *will* be able to purchase a new home for 1 btc before long however.
