Cryptocurrency is often compared to traditional investments like stocks, bonds, or real estate—but does it truly measure up? In this video, Paul Winkler breaks down what makes an investment an actual investment, why Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies lack intrinsic value, and how history shows the dangers of speculation.

Paul also explains the role of blockchain, the volatility of Bitcoin, and what investors should keep in mind when it comes to building a stable financial future.
