      But they’re almost all using it STUPIDLY, aren’t they?

      How many people who purport to have Bitcoin actually hold their own private key?

        Now you make a very fair point there. If you hold Bitcoin on an exchange or an ETF or somebody else holds it for you, you don’t own Bitcoin. That’s for sure. In those cases, you hold an IOU for Bitcoin. And that’s worth just about as much as it sounds. In other words, shit.
