Part 5/12:
The heart of the presentation lies in a detailed risk analysis. The speaker lists multiple risks affecting stocks and contrasts them with Bitcoin’s unique profile. Here are key points:
1. Market Risk
Stocks: Subject to economic downturns, investor sentiment swings, and global shocks—examples include pandemic lockdowns, which caused widespread business collapse.
Bitcoin: While volatile, it cannot "collapse" due to a pandemic or sentiment alone. Its network persists independently of individual companies or countries, unless fundamentally compromised through code or consensus failure.
2. Business and Company Risk
- Stocks: Vulnerable to poor management, financial woes, increased competition, and bankruptcy.
