@CorySwan Will be an awesome tweet to comeback to in the years to come.

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson I think about this often. Will I be alive to see it being 32 years old. My kids and future kids will be stoked though.

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson Look at china. Total control over their citizens while majority living like shit, all do to their massive amounts of money printing. Hence why they banned btc. Weirdly, most Chinese men try to get into the government because it’s the only real way out of poverty for majority.

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson @womenoptionswin Key to btc is self custody and DCA. It feels lonely out here though at the moment

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson @womenoptionswin Ron, it has to be exhausting trying to educate these people on something people work every single day of their lives for

@Christo04644427 @Nostre_damus @PeterSchiff Has there ever been a protocol before of trusting a 3rd party to hold the physical asset and tokenizing it?

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@Christo04644427 @Nostre_damus @PeterSchiff Interesting. Is it possible I can hold that physical asset myself and tokenize it on PAXG?

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@Nostre_damus @PeterSchiff I’ve never understood why someone would hate btc for the qualities it has. There’s virtually no inflation in it and now compare that to fiat currency. It’s just a made man invention of sound money that the world is starting to agree upon. It’s literally for sovereign individuals

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

Gold was the best option for protecting yourself against government debasement (inflation.)

Gold bugs mean well. They know there's a problem with our fiat currency.

However, gold has failed.

Nobody uses gold as money. Not at the grocery store. Not at the gas pump. Not anywhere on planet Earth without first converting it back into the very fiat currency they claim to despise.

Gold doesn't function without the system it pretends to oppose. It needs banks to custody it. Exchanges to price it. Armored trucks to move it. And a fiat denomination just to tell you what it's worth on any given Tuesday.

You're not escaping the matrix. You're decorating your cell with shiny wallpaper.

Sure, it might be holding OK against inflation, but it's far from perfect.

Gold is a protest sign. Bitcoin is an exit door.

Bitcoin doesn't need fiat to price it or JP Morgan to vault it. It doesn't need a government stamp to verify it's real.

It settles globally in minutes, self-custodies on a $50 device, and runs on math so cold it doesn't care about your feelings or your coin dealer's margins.

Gold had 5,000 years to become perfect money. It got centralized, confiscated, debased, and turned into a ticker symbol on the same brokerage app that sells you SPY.

Bitcoin did in 16 years what gold couldn't do in five millennia — deliver finite, verifiable, borderless, unseizable money to every human with an internet connection.

Gold bugs aren't wrong about the problem. Fiat is a burning building. But they grabbed a fire extinguisher from 3,000 BC and they're wondering why the flames keep spreading.

Bitcoin doesn't just replace fiat or gold. It retires both. Simultaneously.

@TheWaseem6 @KobeissiLetter Yields were spiking so a deal was coming “shortly”

@QuintenFrancois People cannot grasp this idea of ultra sound money so they would rather play in the stock market casino

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson It blows my mind how so many people think btc is “bad”. In reality it’s the solution to so many problems.

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@LukeGromen @PauloMacro I am beginning to wonder if this is the plan from the beginning

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@bariksis It’s central banking bro, it’s a big club and we ain’t in it

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@JM_speakss Btc is the money

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@RonSwanonson Everyone has their own domain they can fully understand. Unfortunately only about 5% of the world understand money right now

[Jeff Swanson @theswansjr]

If Bitcoin is worthless, then send me one.

A classic challenge to those who don’t understand Bitcoin.
But it goes deeper.

Bitcoin is the first money in 5,000 years that exists purely as knowledge. Nothing else comes close.

Money isn’t a rock you can hold. It never was.

Money is a social construct. A shared hallucination we agree on. But Bitcoin is the first money in history that exists entirely as cryptographic knowledge.

You don’t store Bitcoin. You know it.

Ownership isn’t physical custody. It’s possession of a private key.

I can write 12 words on paper, bury it in the desert, destroy every device, disappear for a decade, and the Bitcoin is still mine.

Not because it’s stored somewhere.
Not because a server tracks it.
Not because a bank vouches for me.

Because I know the key. That’s the entire model.

No counterparty. No permission. No trust.

The network doesn’t hold my coins. Miners don’t custody them. Nodes don’t approve ownership.

Math alone verifies control.

To spend, I broadcast a signed transaction.
To hold, I depend on no one.

Gold is bearer money. You can bury it and it’s yours.
But it has limits:
• Hard to move
• Hard to divide
• Hard to verify

Bitcoin keeps gold’s bearer nature and adds superpowers:
• Instant global transfer
• Perfect divisibility
• Cryptographic authenticity

Gold is analog bearer money. Bitcoin is digital bearer money. Fiat is the opposite.

You can’t truly possess dollars without banks, central banks, and payment rails. Even cash is a liability dependent on policy and trust.

Fiat is a claim.
Bitcoin is proof.

Bitcoin isn’t a database entry assigned to you.
It’s a scarce cryptographic artifact secured by proof-of-work.

Back to the challenge: If Bitcoin is worthless, send me one.

To do that, you must:
• Control a private key
• Sign a real transaction
• Broadcast it globally
• Have miners burn energy to confirm it

You can’t fake this. You can’t shortcut it. You must trade, sell, or work to earn Bitcoin.

Stop thinking of Bitcoin as something you store.
Start thinking of it as knowledge you possess.

• A seed phrase is pure information
• That information grants control over scarce units
• No one can debase, freeze, or dilute it

This is why Bitcoin is sovereign money.

Gold required physical custody. Fiat required institutional trust.

The real question isn’t whether Bitcoin is real money. It’s how long you’ll keep holding inferior versions.

@LukeGromen Luke, you think this war in Iran is to get china to start buying us debt again instead of gold?

[DylanC @DylanC216]

@MarioNawfal What else can he really do at this point? Any more escalation will be detrimental for the world.
