Little subtle stock market bashing there, buddy there with his butterfly :)

Bitcoin - Has value because, 21 million never more. Bank-less banking. Self maintaining ledger, soft of self maintaining. General acceptance by the general public, without the need for any endorsement from a central banker or any government. Like the general public saying, " this is ours, we reserve our right to trade with each other, without middle parties and special interests, (compound-interest) getting involved.

Stocks- A company, a corporation, a business operation(s). Ideally, they meet the needs the public desires so they get money, so the public gains confidence that they will increase in value over time, or lack there of. Same time, not everyone will agree with any given companies agenda.

The thing they have in common: The "money" goes where the public mind goes" ? We onto something?
