#BTC is the currency issued by the #Bitcoin network.
Every time you receive BTC, you receive a small bundle of "satoshis" (1 Bitcoin = 100,000,000 Satoshis).

(THREAD 👇)

#Bitcoin will outperform stocks forever, or until stocks are valued in Bitcoin.

Stocks represent partial ownership of companies. When you buy stocks, you are buying a security. You are investing in a business with the expectation of a profit to comes from the efforts of someone other than yourself.
The business relies on the decisions of executives and customers. A single chain of events can be fatal to the entire business plan.
When you buy stocks, you are relying on people to make certain decisions and contribute to the value of your investment. You are speculating that the business behind it will continue to be profitable. You assume that customers will continue to purchase the company's products.
People are biased. They can make very bad decisions. They can be coerced. They can be canceled. Customers can boycott products.
I bet most people never thought a company like Starbucks would see so much pushback from its customers.
