    Bitcoin is like investing in Vintage Dinky Cars.

    There's limited supply.

    You can't buy it in a tax free wrapper (ISA in UK for example).

    There's no real use to it (can't even 'flip' a bitCOIN to decide who kicks off a football game... can't do the commute in a Dinky Car).

    It's attractive to nerds and dorks and those involved at the top look weird (SBF, Vitalik Buterin for example).

    It's bad for the environment - uses energy to be realised.
