By not owning #Bitcoin, you're effectively arguing that people will continue using a form of money that can be created out of thin air, can be censored, and is designed to lose value against consumer goods.
Bold strategy.
The money in your bank account, your stocks, bonds and life insurance:

Uncensorable, unstoppable, fixed supply, increasing demand.
You probably should own some Bitcoin.
