Bitcoin is or is not for everyone. Boomers have all the money. That includes the 70-plus year old who can’t stomach the volatility, but still wants a return greater than debasement. For them, we can call it digital “Treasuries” credit.
Then there are others who can’t buy Bitcoin, but they can buy digital equity. At least this equity may not be disrupted by AI.
Will most of the Fortune 500 be around in five years? Without mass government intervention and support, I think not.
Either way, Bitcoin wins and digital equity wins. The boomers should take their digital credit receipts and buy more digital credit or digital equity. Their beneficiaries will thank them. Can you name one equity that is not without massive counterparty risk?
I am a boomer and have been buying Bitcoin for years. I listen to many podcasts that I used to respect. For many of them I feel like I am listening to “The View,” cheering on the challenges of fellow citizens.
I want all Bitcoiners to win. And we all should.
“Strike” Boy says he doesn’t have an ego, but his actions often suggest otherwise. A true team player tries to understand how different groups of people see the world. A true team player challenges ideas constructively and works to build consensus rather than division. Instead, he seems unwilling to acknowledge a simple reality: many Baby Boomers will never be comfortable putting a large percentage of their wealth into an asset that can fluctuate as dramatically as Bitcoin.
Rather than dismissing those concerns, he should ask his father, Bill, whether Baby Boomers might be interested in earning 11.5% to 13% on their money while still gaining exposure to the digital asset economy. Most would likely find that proposition far more attractive than being told to simply ignore volatility and buy Bitcoin.
What is particularly confusing is that “Strike” Boy constantly argues that Bitcoin is going up, yet he repeatedly focuses on scenarios where Bitcoin does not go up and digital-credit payments cannot be made. If he truly believes in Bitcoin’s long-term appreciation, why spend so much time emphasizing the opposite outcome? It raises the question of whether he is evaluating these opportunities objectively or viewing them primarily through the lens of his own business model.
The reality is that everyone in the Bitcoin ecosystem benefits when more people acquire Bitcoin. Different investors will choose different paths. Some will buy Bitcoin directly. Others will prefer digital-credit products, yield-generating products, or digital-equity investments tied to Bitcoin adoption. All of these approaches can contribute to the growth of the ecosystem.
If Bitcoin continues to appreciate over the next 4, 8, 12, or 16 years, many of today’s concerns about payment sustainability become far less significant. A digital-equity investor may be willing to accept a modest reduction in short-term returns if doing so helps accelerate Bitcoin adoption and strengthen the overall network. Bitcoin can be sold periodically to meet payment obligations, helping maintain confidence in the credit structure while simultaneously distributing Bitcoin into stronger hands and reducing available supply. The process can then be repeated as adoption grows.
“Strike” Boy should understand this dynamic. Instead of treating alternative approaches as a threat, he should recognize that different on-ramps serve different investors. The objective should not be proving that one path is right and every other path is wrong. The objective should be expanding Bitcoin ownership and helping more people participate in the digital economy.
- [ ] There is an old saying: you get what you focus on. Unfortunately, many voices on X spend their time highlighting every possible weakness, risk, and downside scenario. Healthy skepticism has value, but podcasters and influencers should also recognize the role they play in encouraging adoption. Too often, they end up talking down the very growth they claim to support. If the mission is Bitcoin adoption, then the focus should be on bringing people in—not pushing them away.

@nickshirleyy@GovTimWalz And then given back to politicians like Tampon Tim thru SGO. Outlaw all SGOs. Remove tax deduction to all charities including churches.
@SecRubio@marcorubio I am glad you are looking into commercial truck drivers. I think there is more exposer to the American public with Uber and Lyft drivers.
