Bitcoin is not only the most secure financial system currently available but also holds promise due to its decentralization and resistance to censorship. Its secure foundation and limited supply justify a potential increase in value, especially when compared to the vast amounts tied up in traditional assets. This suggests that Bitcoin, while currently a small fraction of global assets, has significant room for growth and greater integration into mainstream finance.
