••Despite the volatility, Bitcoin is one of the most stable cryptocurrencies because it is difficult to manipulate bitcoin transactions by individuals or some organizations, which requires a lot of money ..

••Bitcoin is scarce and useful. Take gold as an example. Limited amount of gold. With the new mining, the remaining gold will decrease. When the market gets chaotic, the price of gold usually goes up, making it one of the best investments to avoid risk. The same is true of Bitcoin. Only 21 million bitcoins. As time goes by, demand increases and supply decreases, prices eventually rise.
 
••Compared to other cryptocurrencies, Bitcoin has the highest brand identity, liquidity, and has become the most preferred by the growing number of traders, including well-known companies. like Expedia and Overstock ..

••The use of BTC is still largely dependent on the availability of the Internet.

••The Bitcoin system cannot be scaled down, which limits the speed and number of transactions ..

••Some people think that the appeal of Bitcoin is that it can be anonymous so BTC can be used for illegal or anti-social behavior.

••The core of Bitcoin strongly encroaches upon the powers of the government, banks, regulators and the censorship system, so BTC can face a lot of opposition and anti-social behavior. .

Although Bitcoin is the most liquid and easily traded currency, it is still easily subject to short-term price fluctuations.
