Here's my reason for not "investing" (it's no investing, it's speculation):

* bitcoin is not mandated as the sole accepted currency for settling tax in any sovereign state, therefore it can go to zero

It will never go to absolute zero as long as there are still people who at the very least see it as a joke. "Remember when BTC was $20000? I just bought 50000 of them, I would have been a billionair! Haha!"

Also tell people in Venezuela how their Bolivar is not going to zero, because they have to pay their taxes with it.
