Noooooooooo. Bitcoin is not the stock market. It's more like a commodity
1 comments

Being able to exchange btc for other coins makes it like a stock market. BTC is also a commodity. It is also a speculative investment into the lightning network. It is also a hedge against fiat currency.

BTC is many things and it causes confusion amongst people trying to determine where the value comes from. It took me many years to figure this out, unfortunately.
