+ Bitcoin’s supply is fixed at 21 million. Presently there are approximately 18.5 million in circulation, or 88.5% of the total. The
remaining 2.5 million will be mined over the next one hundred and twenty years according to a known and unchangeable
schedule.
+ Gold is a scarce commodity with an elastic supply. The supply of gold increased by a factor of ten over the last century.
+ Bitcoin is the first store of value in the world where supply is entirely unaffected by increased demand. Thus, increases in
demand have a pronounced impact on the price of Bitcoin.

BITCOIN: BEARS AND SKEPTICS
+ While there are a growing number of Bitcoin converts, naysayers still abound including leaders of the finance,
investment, and academic worlds
+ That said, the criticisms of Bitcoin tend to be ad hominem attacks rather than well-reasoned arguments
+ Some of the criticisms of Bitcoin are reminiscent of Paul Krugman’s infamous 1998 quote: “The growth of the internet
will slow dramatically as the flaw in Metcalfe’s law becomes apparent. By 2005, it will become clear that the Internet’s
impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine’s.”
“It’s just not my cup of tea.” “It’s not an investment…it’s a trade. “Bitcoin is worthless, artificial gold.”
In the long run, I think it will be
shown not to have any substance.”

• restrictions on transferring interests in the Fund;
• lack of diversification and concentration in Bitcoin as a single asset;
