"Avant même de dire ce qu’est le bitcoin, il faut expliquer pourquoi il existe. L’idée de départ, c’est qu’il y a un besoin d’instruments monétaires décentralisés, dont la politique monétaire ne dépende pas de décisions humaines. Le bitcoin a été pensé comme une alternative à des monnaies dont la valeur peut être affaiblie par l’impression monétaire et l’endettement.
Le bitcoin est une monnaie numérique, totalement décentralisée, dont le fonctionnement repose sur un algorithme garantissant qu’il n’y aura jamais plus de 21 millions d’unités. Cette rareté programmée est au cœur de sa logique. Il permet d’envoyer de la valeur à n’importe qui dans le monde, sans passer par un intermédiaire de confiance.
Sa particularité, c’est aussi d’être un actif final. Quand vous détenez un bitcoin, vous le détenez réellement, un peu comme de l’or physique. À l’inverse, avec l’euro, vous détenez surtout une créance sur un système bancaire. Le bitcoin a donc été conçu comme une monnaie résiliente, indépendante du système monétaire classique, et comme une forme d’alternative."

🟠 How much Bitcoin does the average person need to retire?
Here, its calculated and presented in radial charts 🍥
for 96 countries, ages 5 - 75, retiring in 2025 - 2055.
- - -
Based on each country’s average income level, adjusted for inflation (7% M2 expansion), and of course utilizing the highly reliable power law support line (5th percentile) as the BTC price model - check out the numbers based on your current age.
Assumes: spending the actual Bitcoin for annual living expenses, and expecting to live to age 100.
Highlights:
🍥MOST people in MOST countries still need less than 1 BTC for 2035 and out.
🍥If retiring this year, most countries need between 1-10 BTC.
🍥To retire in 2045 in BITCOIN-FRIENDLY countries:
• El Salvador: 0.023 - 0.13 BTC
• Switzerland: 0.26 - 1.5 BTC
• Portugal: 0.07 - 0.39 BTC

As a Bitcoiner, you’re not just different.
You’re neurologically incompatible with the fiat species.
HODLing doesn’t just change your portfolio.
It changes your brain, your time horizon, and your biology.
The differences in your brain vs. the fiat brain will blow your mind.
🧵Let's break it down:👇
This is my favorite thing about Bitcoin:
Becoming a Bitcoiner is like tripping over a magic internet rock and waking up in a black hole of intellectual gravity.
You came for the number go up.
Now you’re reverse-engineering the Bretton Woods system at 2 a.m., arguing with a Dutch guy about tax treaties, reading Japanese bond yield curves for fun, and filing a PFIC election because some guy on Twitter said Metaplanet is bullish.
You learn macroeconomics, securities law, monetary history, game theory, energy policy, shadow banking, sovereign debt dynamics, and Austrian philosophy...
VOLUNTARILY.
You’ve become the final form of a late-stage fiat victim:
An autodidactic monster with laser eyes and a Fidelity login, obsessed with custody frameworks and wondering if the Cayman Islands count as a hostile jurisdiction.
And the craziest part?
You love it.
Bitcoin is the only asset in history that turns normies into geopolitical savants and finance bros into time monks.
It’s an intellectual initiation ritual into how the world really works.
And once you see it…
There’s no going back.
“The liberty of man consists in this: that he obeys no one but natural laws.” – Bakunin
Bitcoin translates this anarchist ethos into code:
decentralized authority, voluntary cooperation, and mutual aid without hierarchy.

How much Bitcoin do you need to retire?
If you're 45 today, you'll need 4.28 BTC to retire in 2030 with $100K in expenses each year
I think this is meant to be the worst-case scenario
~$400K for retirement in 5 years
The crazy thing is a lot of the people who have $400K+ won't buy 4.28 BTC
They rely on a financial adviser (who very likely doesn't understand Bitcoin yet and thinks it's a scam) and will hold on to their stocks in real estate until it's too late
Hallucinant !
100 dollars d'or pèsent désormais moins qu'un billet de 100 dollars...
Un billet de 100 USD pèse 1 gramme.
100 dollars d'or pèsent 0,983 grammes.
Qu’est-ce que cela signifie ?
En fait, le dollar a TELLEMENT été dévalué, que l'or est désormais MOINS coûteux (en termes de poids) de transporter de l’or que des billets physiques !
(Il n’existe pas de billets de plus de $100 aux USA).
I think my fellow Bitcoin plebs need this right now…
@carlabitcoin made this song in October 2022 when Bitcoin was in the depths of the bear market and kept going back to $19K…
If you’re reading this, take a deep breath, zoom out and enjoy the music.
#Bitcoin heralds the end of the consumer society, because unlike fiat currency, keeping bitcoin is the best way to gain purchasing power!
No one will want to get rid of it unless it's absolutely necessary!
For 16 years cypherpunks have outperformed fancy Wall Street guys in suits from their basements. It must be tough for them to swallow their pride and start stacking.
@Corey2140 I've decided to stop talking to my friends about bitcoin. I get judged as a criminal almost every time. They're not even interested in the price any more. They don't know that you can buy fractions. The matrix is having a good effect.
