@Stephenr009@JimChuong Goes up if more want it: Yes, and that's true for most invstmnts - stocks, commodities, etc. All invstmts are bets. I recommend the audiobook, Bitcoin is for Everyone. Inflation and other factors almost force Bitcoin up. It's volatile so it crashes while rising. Buy some & study
I absolutely love this.
Have one in college and one just graduated HS.. but I have 4 still in the house and weβre definitely implementing!!!
Wished I have done this sooner
When I truly understood this next fact, it broke my brain:
The largest heist in world history is happening right under your nose.
The theft? All your productivity gains.
Think about it:
1. You're 10x more productive than your grandfather
2. Technology should have made you 10x wealthier
3. Instead, you're working harder for less
Where did the wealth go?
Every breakthrough that should have enriched YOU:
Electrification β Stolen
Automobiles β Stolen
Computers β Stolen
Internet β Stolen
The method: Currency debasement.
They print money. Your purchasing power disappears.
Your productivity gains flow to them.
This isn't economics.
This is organized theft.
Bitcoin fixes this
"Elon Musk is probably doing more for America than any other American. He's single handedly bringing manufacturing back to America. SpaceX is in some ways the most important defense contractor in America. What he's doing with Starlink is amazing for the world. He's creating all of these blue collar manufacturing jobs which is a goal of a lot of liberals and good for America. He's done more than any living human to decarbonize the world. And if you're upset about data centers on earth for environmental reasons, here you go - he's putting data centers in space" - @GavinSBaker@patrick_oshag
@AltcoinDaily I've been hearing "generational wealth transfer" for years but we don't see an impact. In the next 5? Besides, most wt goes from 80+ yr olds to their 50+ yr old kids. Bitcoin remains untouched.
Major areas where the financial system still needs an update:
1. Tokenization of real-world assets - Real estate, stocks, bonds, funds, etc. onchain for instant settlement, fractional ownership & massive distribution.
2. 24/7 Global trading - Pooled global liquidity, every asset, every person, with great leverage and capital efficiency.
3. Next-gen payments - Near-instant, low-cost global transfers using stablecoins, including for Agentic payments.
4. AI-powered risk, credit, compliance, and advice - Better decisions, less fraud, and broader access to capital. Everyone gets access to a great financial advisor.
5. Innovation friendly regulation - Move from one-size-fits-all to risk-based rules that encourage innovation and competition instead of stifling it.
6. Expanded access - Open protocols that reduce middlemen and self-custodial wallets to expand access to everyone with a smartphone.
7. Capital formation - Low cost and turnkey for anyone to raise money for a good idea, increasing the number of startups.
8. Sound money - A refuge from inflation, when discipline is lost in fiat money.
Jobs not done until we get these working for all.
Will require lots of tech innovation and policy work to get there.
