"Bitcoin has no intrinsic value."
Let me translate that.
Nike shoes cost $8 to make. They sell for $180.
The difference?
A swoosh. A story. Collective belief.
A Picasso is paint on canvas.
A Rolex is just a clock.
A Louis Vuitton bag is stitched fabric.
You have never once demanded intrinsic value from anything you paid a premium for.
"Intrinsic value" is a phrase people reach for when they haven't thought about where value actually comes from.
It comes from belief. Always has.
Bitcoin's believers are just the ones who wrote it into unbreakable math.
Bitcoin isn't real! It's not physical!
Yeah? Neither is the number seven, but I bet you'd notice if your bank balance dropped by seven figures.
Let me break the spell for you: money has never been "real."
Money is a collective hallucination—a social construct we all agree to pretend exists so we don't have to barter chickens for dental work.
Gold wasn't money because it fell from heaven with "LEGAL TENDER" stamped on it.
We picked gold because it was the least-bad physical object that checked the boxes:
- Scarce
- Durable
- Divisible
- Portable
- Verifiable
It was the analog solution to our shared idea.
But here's the thing about analog: it's slow, heavy, and requires armed guards.
And here's the thing about humans: we engineer better tools.
We went from abacus to iPhone. From carrier pigeons to satellites.
From gold bars locked in vaults to Bitcoin—verified by thermodynamics, secured by energy, and transmitted at the speed of light.
Bitcoin is the digital versioin of money. Just like X is the digital version of town hall.
Gold was the best we could do for many centuries.
Bitcoin is what we can do now that we have cryptography, distributed consensus, and proof-of-work anchored in physics.
Your grandpa trusted gold because he could hold it.
You trust Bitcoin because you can verify it.
One required faith in a metal. The other requires faith in math.
Guess which one has never been debased, diluted, or confiscated by executive order?
The concept of money is a human mental construct.
Always has been. Always will be.
The only question is: do you want your construct built on scarcity enforced by governments—or scarcity enforced by code?
Gold was monetary technology for the industrial age. Bitcoin is monetary technology for the information age.
Welcome to the upgrade.
Well, there it is.
Ken Griffin publicly confirms that Citadel is doubling-down on Miami as a city after @NYCMayor targeted Griffin in the recent tax video.
Mamdani was chasing social media views and Griffin received the message.
In 2017, Morgan Stanley said 'Bitcoin's true value could be zero.'
This week, Morgan Stanley celebrated the launch of its Bitcoin ETF — its most successful ETF launch ever.
🇺🇸 "We would be 51st. We would be poorer than Mississippi. That's an astonishing statistic."
@tomhfh on @GBNEWS reacting to our new research on British attitudes to economic growth. 👇
🇬🇧 We asked Brits where the UK ranks vs US states in income per person.
Average answer: 7th. Wealthier than 43 states.
The reality: 51st. Dead last. Below Mississippi. Below Arkansas. Below every single US state. 🧵
Imagine being a panican.
You freak out every few months predicting the next Great Depression.
The media gives you airtime, you start believing your own nonsense, & then the stock market rips higher again.
Absolutely brutal.
Pessimists sound smart, but never make money.
