1. Good points. I'm thinking in terms of giving, not trading, as in heirs. Currently leaving money for heirs is messy with probate and paperwork and taxes. There are solutions like living trusts and so forth but again that's paperwork and management. Not so much with bitcoin. It's like digital gold, and less like cash, which loses value even if demand remains constant.

2. Yep, bitcoin can be indirectly devalued by gov't. Or it could end up like beanie babies.
