Being alive" is not necessarily nonsensical, but being priced at $6,700 is.
Why?
But it's another reason for asking what is so special about Bitcoin
The concept of owning and storing your own money outside of the monetary system is its greatest appeal to me.
I could buy a bar of gold but it would be cumbersome and costly to store and manage.
I could buy art, or antiques, but realistically im not in that game. My art collection consists of some 500-600 LP's, 12" and CD's that are, barr some small exceptions, mass produced.
I could buy property, but I would have to take on another mortgage, and im done with that game.
Bitcoin on the otherhand, offers an opportunity to store and transfer my money outside of the monetary system, should I wish to do so. I think it is prudent to do so although I do think at this juncture, only that what you are prepared given its volatility.
I currently have remaining a stake of €600, and despite recent falls, still has a 30% profit if I cashed out now.
Other coins may well have avoided these problems or may just be better technology overall.
If other coins provide the same option, with less costs, with better technology, its inevitable it will replace bitcoin.
