💭 Question:
“Bitcoin doesn’t pay dividends — so what’s the point? Is it still useful?”
🧩 Key idea:
No dividends ≠ useless. It’s actually one of Bitcoin’s greatest advantages.
🔍 1. What does “dividend” or “interest” really mean?
* Stocks pay dividends → company takes its own cash and gives it to shareholders. → After payout, the stock price drops by roughly the same amount. → You just moved money from one pocket to another.
* Some companies even borrow money to keep paying dividends — risky and unsustainable.
* Dividends are not “free profit”; they reflect business risk and debt.
💰 2. What about bank interest?
* The bank lends your deposits to others at higher rates.
* Your 2–3% interest = funded by someone else’s debt.
* Add inflation (often 7–10%), and your real purchasing power shrinks.
* You think you’re earning, but long-term, you’re likely losing.
* It also encourages endless government and banking debt cycles, hurting future generations.
🪙 3. Bitcoin’s role — not to yield, but to preserve.
* Bitcoin isn’t a company → it doesn’t need cash flow.
* It’s sound money, not an investment product.
* Good money shouldn’t generate interest — it should store value.
* Holding Bitcoin = saving your time, labor, and choice for the future.
* It’s a form of delayed gratification: trading short-term consumption for long-term freedom and security.
🔢 4. Why fixed supply matters
* Bitcoin’s total supply: 21 million coins.
* Your share of the network never changes.
* As global productivity and technology (like AI) rise, → goods and services get cheaper relative to your Bitcoin. → Your purchasing power increases — that’s the real return.
✅ 5. Summary
* Bitcoin has no dividends because it’s money, not a company.
* It doesn’t “make” money — it protects yours.
* No trust, no inflation, no dependency.
* A tool for financial sovereignty and a reliable store of value for the future.
