You are being extremely rude by calling my comment disingenuous, it's your parochial thinking which seeks perfection from an asset from the onset and cannot comprehend that asset classes can mature, if you cannot hold a conversation properly do not reply at all. All emerging technologies undergo Gartner cycles. Perhaps, you haven't heard what happens when a financial system continuously prints money, does the Venezuelan Bolivar ring a bell? I did not say it will combat inflation, I said it's a hedge against inflation, perhaps you could take a look at the charts of dollar index and Bitcoin and contemplate on the exact counter reflection that they are.
