Valuing bitcoin requires different approaches since it can function as a currency, commodity, and payment network simultaneously. Over the past decade, bitcoin has outperformed traditional assets like U.S. equities and gold as a store of value. Consumer price inflation has diminished purchasing power, and as this trend continues, those adopting bitcoin as their primary store of value are expected to see an increase in purchasing power, influencing others to follow suit. Bitcoin's unique characteristics set it apart from traditional assets, necessitating a different valuation lens.
"#Bitcoin is not a stock, nor is it a startup or any investment fund... this is a completely different animal than other types of assets that people are trying to compare it to. You need to view it through a different lens." - @MartyBent- André Dragosch, PhD⚡ (@Andre_Dragosch) June 28, 2025
From a pure investment point of view, bitcoin has been one of the best-performing 'store-of-value' investments of the past 10+ years, outperforming traditional assets like U.S. equities or gold by a very wide margin.
As pervasive consumer price inflation erodes purchasing power, individuals adopting bitcoin as their primary store of value will likely see their purchasing power increase over time.
Bitcoin will serve as a Schelling Point, a focal point that individuals use to guide their decisions when trying to predict what others will do.
