"Bitcoin is the best form of money in the world and will be worth over $5,000,000 per coin in the future.
Bitcoin is a safe haven asset which is needed in these times when central banks print trillions of dollars out of nothing.
When people finally lose their confidence in the dollar and other government currencies, they will be looking for an alternative where there is no third party risk, no default risk and is as liquid as any other currency.
This is what Bitcoin can give people."

Bitcoin
Carl Martin has always had an interest in monetary policy, economics, and macroeconomics. He has researched the Federal Reserve System, the banking system and the monetary system in general before he went into Bitcoin. Carl Martin believes that the value of Bitcoin doesn't necessarily come from Bitcoin itself, but from the flaws of the current monetary system.[1]
On the stock market he states: [1]
"We've seen trillions of dollars that have been printed to bail out the banks since 2008.
Combined with low interest rates, we've seen global stock markets soar to all time highs in the past decade.
This is all fake prosperity, financed by cheap debt.
The current debt bubble is much bigger than back in 2008 and a financial crisis is inevitable.
This time will be worse though, and I expect us to see the Great Depression 2.0 in the next few years with record unemployment.
The dollar will eventually collapse due to the pressure of this debt and this is why Bitcoin was created.
Bitcoin is an alternative currency, where you don't need to trust governments or banks not to expand the currency supply.
Bitcoin is a new form of money, it's the peoples money."
