Things we need to stop comparing Bitcoin to

Bitcoin, as is my understanding, is a digital asset and currency that may see wider adoption in the future (if certain things come to pass).

It is not a tulip. It's not a beanie baby. Nowhere close.

It's not a stock. It may attract investors and traders, but it also attracts utopians that defy trading behavior.

It's not a social media or e-mail-like platform. It won't grow the same way or be adopted the same way, either.

Bitcoin is itself.

But understanding how it is not these things, *does help us understand its potential a little bit better.
