To be fair, I am starting to think that calling Bitcoin an "investment" is not the right use of the word.
In either use case of bitcoin, SOV or MOE, we would not call it an investment. We typically do not say that people "invest in gold" or "invest in the US dollar". People speculate on its price, but it is not an "investment" because it doesn't produce streams of value. I think this nomenclature is why so many tradfi folks get tripped up on Bitcoin, because they evaluate it through the lens of a traditional "investment" when it's not.
But that doesn't mean you shouldn't hold Bitcoin, just as it doesn't mean you shouldn't hold dollars or gold. In terms of Bitcoin, the speculative value is indeed very high because of its strong underlying characteristics as both a MOE and SOV, while adoption is still low. It also has inherent utility for some use cases, especially since it is a portable asset that's hard to confiscate and easy to move internationally. Just as it's wise to hold some fiat (e.g. for emergency spending), even though it's not a productive asset, it's also wise to hold some Bitcoin for the reasons listed above.

The concept of saving, setting aside money for the future and not investing, is completely foreign to most people at this point. That's why bitcoin is like alien technology to them. They can't figure out what to do it.

This is excellent! I'm going to share it with my boomer friends. Motley Fool is like a religion for some people.

Motley Fool rode of a wave of digitization and just had the wherewithal to never sell their winners. This allowed them to have absolutely massive gains in Amazon, Netflix, Nvidia etc and have sold subs off of that for the last 20 years.

It was probably well worth it in the early days. Now they have a bunch of different people trying to pick the next nvidia and trying to create content for the subscribers.

Isn't it like the name they have, they have only hired 'fools'. Also, for Bitcoin news, I dont think that we got any real website in the MSM.

I like this at the end.
- Netflix: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2004, you’d have $338,864!*
- Nvidia: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2009, you’d have $303,388!*
- Apple: if you invested $1,000 when we doubled down in 2008, you’d have $41,963!
Just checked something.
- Bitcoin: if you invested $1,000 in 2014, you'd have $648,446!

Are fools allowed to share advice on Earth? If they are, that's the worst of all things I've witnessed in my short stay here. This is even less than a piece of crap. I challenge them in the name of their God to do hell with their advice and live in ultimate ignorance.
