> What is bitcoin resilient to? Not falling to $0?
If we cherry pick, say, the Vanguard Long-Term Treasury ETF [0] in the last 3 years it is down 30%. So bitcoin isn't as resilient against value loss US treasuries but we're seeing changes in magnitude in price that is similar to a long term bond ETF. That is a lot better than I expected, and probably a lot of others. Really good performance compared to the gains, I suspect. No obvious counterparty risk, so probably superior to the debt-laden US government in some sense.
> I don't think that our current financial system fails that often because some transactions were stopped.
Someone is paying for bitcoin to burn a medium country's worth of energy to keep running. That speaks to a certain sincerity in their disagreement with you.
