Comment on Selling BTC or not..?
Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 1 day agoA corporation is an entity
It has assets and profit tied to it. The “share” is a share of that.
Is a share worth it is debatable. But the share is a physical piece of the corporation

The way I understand it, a physical asset is something you can see and touch, like a house or a hammer. There’s things that a share gives me that BTC does not, but ultimately they are more similar to each other than to something like a physical chunk of gold or a silo full of grain.

Yes that’s a physical asset.
Silo full of grain is known as a future or a commodity. I might not have the Silo or the grain physically in my possession, but my note says that I own it.
BTC is a commodity and commodities are very similar to stocks
BTC just isn’t backed by anything
