An important difference between art and Bitcoin is that Bitcoin is owned by ordinary people with bills.

A market downturn or economic crisis can turn a lot of Bitcoin owners to liquidate, potentially annihilating its value. You just don't see that with people who have money to collect art.

Good reminder that the growth in Bitcoin has almost entirely happened since the last real bear market.
