Full bearer asset you hold
No need to financialize things you don't care about

No maintenance, deterioration, property taxes, tenants, liens
Liquid, fractional, instant, mobile
Absolute scarcity and sovereign rights for anyone

Auditable, immutable, transparent, open-source
Unhackable ledger of value secured by energy


Bitcoin improves the environment:

For the unbanked, oppressed, disenfranchised
Sees no borders, race, religion, politics, sex, or status
Equality of opportunity and value for all


Bitcoin is a separation of money from the state:

Free from confiscation, sanction, manipulation, censorship
Supports independence, activism, or privacy
Accountable only to the holder, a bank of the brain
