The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I don't know, but I am trying to gain some understanding. The value, seems to be that it represents a new digital money/gold that you can self custody and the fact that no one to date has broken its code.

I previously wrote about this on the old MF boards and they are lost to time. I was chatting with a company doing blockchain related (non-cryptocurrency, more distributed ledger) financial activities. I did a deep dive for my own reasons, and they were a bit engineering focused. This was before bloomberg.com - The crypto story which great if you don't have to understand the guts of how it works at a technical level.

I still have no idea why it is worth anything or keeps going up in value, honestly, even though I could tell you a bit about how it works.
