>it's liquidity, which bitcoin has far more of then any other cryptocurrency.

"Far more of than any other cryptocurrency" is kind of a moot point. Does "bitcoin" (the people converting it to cash) have enough reserves in any real currency to cover even 10% of its value? There's no federal government backing it, and as best I can tell nothing to prevent the proverbial "run on the bank".

I still struggle to see how bitcoin has anymore intrinsic value than collecting pokemon cards. It's worth something right up until it isn't without a major government supporting it.
