Bitcoin should be viewed as savings technology, not speculation, Brunell says

As inflation and rising asset prices weaken traditional savings, Bitcoin should be understood as a long-term savings technology, not simply a speculative asset, according to Bitcoin-focused journalist Natalie Brunell. She argued that understanding Bitcoin requires looking first at the erosion of purchasing power in the monetary system, rather than at price volatility. In an Oct. 13 interview with Bitcoin Magazine, Brunell, author of Bitcoin is for everyone, said Bitcoin is more than an investment asset and can serve as a tool for freedom and economic empowerment.
