Author views Bitcoin as purely speculative and reliant on the greater fool concept.

BTC-USD — AVOID The author argues Bitcoin is a speculative asset with no fundamental value, similar to gold/silver but without their manufacturing utility. Its price is driven solely by the greater fool concept, where buyers expect someone else to pay more. Therefore, it should be avoided as an investment.

It's just the 'greater fool' concept. You buy it because you think someone else will pay more for it. That's all it is.
