The Bull Case for Bitcoin That Has Nothing to Do With Price Predictions

The article outlines a non-price-based bull case for Bitcoin, arguing its value stems from being neutral, self-custodial money that can’t be issued, frozen, or fully blocked by any single government. It highlights real-world demand drivers — sanctioned countries using crypto for trade (Russia in 2024) and Iran’s use of mining since 2019 — and growing risks of ‘debanking’ (OCC finding nine major banks restricted services in 2025). The piece concludes that these structural use-cases create persistent, long-term demand for Bitcoin irrespective of short-term price forecasts, while noting disclosures that the author and Motley Fool hold Bitcoin. The tone is constructive for adoption and demand, not a specific price forecast.
