While Armstrong's long-term logic about fixed supply and adoption is sound, the specific 2030 deadline appears overly optimistic given Bitcoin's shrinking cycle peaks.

While the company offers an attractive 7.2% dividend yield, the author recommends passing on the investment due to declining organic sales (-1.3% in Q2), failure to keep pace with changing consumer preferences, high debt levels ($19B vs $2.6B cash), and better growth opportunities elsewhere.
