If you understand Bitcoin now, you’re like Neo.

You can see how the system works before most people can.

Other people do not even know they are trapped in it.

The hardest part of becoming a Bitcoiner is seeing how unaware the people around you are.

THIS IS WHY WE #BITCOIN

MUST WATCH 🔥

Once you submit your life to the 9-5 how does one not feel stuck?

You’re telling me you just repeat year over year until you save enough money to retire?

The MAJORITY of people in this country are comfortable with just scraping by and living the same life every day, week and year?

How do these people have no ambition to want more?

I spend everyday thinking about chasing my dreams and doing bigger and better things

Sitting at a desk for 40 hours every week for 40 years being your main focus in life sounds genuinely sickening

- You: “Is inflation bad?”

- Government: “Very bad. We fight it every day.”

- You: “So the goal is 0%?”

- Government: “No, the goal is 2%.”

- You: “So the goal is… inflation?”

- Government: “The goal is stable inflation.”

- You: “Stable loss of my money?”

- Government: “You’re not an economist.”

Think about it this way:

Your TV doesn’t create the Netflix show.
It receives and decodes it.

Your brain doesn’t create consciousness.
It receives and decodes it.

The consciousness itself exists in the quantum field, entangled across all of reality.
Your brain is just the interface. The antenna. The decoder.

This explains things we’ve never been able to explain before.

In 2020, the US printed $6 trillion.

The average American salary is $60,000 (that’s 100 million years of human labor stolen in a single year through currency debasement).

If each person works roughly 50 productive years across their lifetime, that single instance of money printing (aka currency counterfeiting) equals 2 million human lifetimes’ worth of labor energy.

You should figure it out, before it’s too late:

My favorite part about Bitcoin was always

we show up because the price is rising.

Then somehow you’re awake for a few days learning how money works, studying gov debt, tax rules, energy markets, banking systems, and global finance.

For fun.

Bitcoin turns regular people into students of economics, history, politics, law, and incentives.

One minute you’re buying an asset.

The next, you’re thinking about self-custody, currency risk, interest rates, and which countries are safe for capital.

And somehow, you enjoy it.

Bitcoin really changes how you understand the world.

Once that happens, it’s hard to see things the old way again.

How long does the USA last?

When does BTC start?

[Dennis Porter @Dennis_Porter_]

Anyone who thinks Bitcoin can’t reach millions of dollars per coin still hasn’t fully grappled with what absolute scarcity means.

Most valuable assets have some form of supply response.

Higher gold prices incentivize more mining.

Higher real estate prices incentivize more construction.

Companies can issue more shares.

Governments and corporations can issue more bonds.

Bitcoin cannot do this.

There will never be more than 21 million BTC.

And 21 million isn’t even the economically relevant number.

Roughly 20 million Bitcoin have already been mined, and estimates suggest millions of those coins are permanently lost.

Using just the LOW end of one widely cited estimate, roughly 2.8 million BTC may already be gone forever.

That leaves only about 17.3 million BTC potentially accessible today.

And even that massively overstates the amount actually available for sale.

Millions more are sitting with long-term holders, ETFs, companies, governments, and other owners who have little interest in selling at current prices.

This is the part people underestimate.

Bitcoin’s price is not determined by all 17.3 million coins.

It is determined at the margin by the relatively tiny number of coins buyers and sellers are actually willing to exchange.

That is why capital entering Bitcoin does not translate dollar-for-dollar into market cap.

Bank of America once estimated that only $93 million of net inflows could move Bitcoin’s price by 1%.

At Bitcoin’s valuation at the time, that implied a price-impact multiplier of roughly 118x.

That does NOT mean Bitcoin will always have a 118x multiplier.

Liquidity changes. Market depth changes. Seller behavior changes.

But the mechanism matters enormously.

When supply is highly illiquid, relatively small amounts of new capital can reprice the entire asset dramatically higher.

Now consider what $5 million Bitcoin actually means.

Using roughly 17.3 million potentially accessible BTC:

$5 million per Bitcoin = roughly an $86.5 trillion valuation.

From today’s level, that would require roughly $85 trillion of additional market value.

But it would NOT require $85 trillion of new money entering Bitcoin.

If Bitcoin averaged a 50x capital multiplier along the way:

~$1.7 trillion of net inflows could theoretically create ~$85 trillion in additional market value.

At a 118x multiplier:

~$720 billion could theoretically create the same increase.

Those are illustrative scenarios, not predictions.

But they show why saying “there isn’t enough money for Bitcoin to reach $5 million” misunderstands how markets work.

Market cap is price × supply.

It is NOT the amount of money that has flowed into an asset.

Every new buyer simply has to find a seller.

And when fewer and fewer Bitcoin holders are willing to sell, price has to keep rising until someone changes their mind.

If the idea of one Bitcoin being worth millions still feels psychologically impossible, look at Berkshire Hathaway.

$BRK.A trades for more than $750,000 per share.

Berkshire has never split its Class A shares.

That doesn’t mean Berkshire and Bitcoin are economically identical.

It proves something much simpler:

There is no law of finance saying one unit of an asset cannot be worth hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars.

The important question is not the nominal price of one unit.

It is the value of the entire asset, the amount of supply available, and the demand competing for it.

And Bitcoin has a characteristic almost no other major asset possesses:

Demand can keep growing.

Supply cannot respond.

Gold miners can mine more gold.

Developers can build more real estate.

Companies can issue more stock.

Governments can issue more bonds.

Bitcoin cannot manufacture more Bitcoin because the price went up.

So when new demand arrives and existing holders refuse to sell, Bitcoin has only one mechanism left to balance the market:

A higher price.

That is the scarcity equation people are still underestimating.

I’m a retired brain surgeon and I wanna tell you why you feel like life is passing by. I just need one minute to explain this to you so hang in there.

Repetitive daily routines stop the brain from recording clear detailed memories. When every day looks the same, your brain does not track time the same as a clock does. It tracks change. If nothing new happens then days, months, and years start to blur together.

This is know as Time compression. When life lacks variety, your brain compresses past days together, making it feel like time is sped up.

To stop feeling like life is passing you by, add new experiences to your life. Break routine habits, like changing your daily home routine, taking a different route to work, or trying a new hobby.

Schedule small trips or plan new adventures so your days do not blend together.

Practice mindfulness by staying fully focused on what you are doing right now and not trying to race off to the next task.

Keep a journal and write down happy memories or memorable parts of the day before you go to sleep.

Take deep, calm breaths when you feel anxious or rushed to return your focus to the moment.

You can and you will retrain your brain to not feel like life is passing you by by following these few simple measures.

To people saying Bitcoin has no intrinsic value, a reminder that each Bitcoin represents ~1 GWh of energy transformed into digital scarcity, secured by code, halving every four years until 21M max supply. Good luck finding a better asset. cc: @Lagarde

Bitcoin is up $16,000 in the last week.

It took Bitcoin 9 years to reach $16,000 for the first time.

Let that sink in.

It absolutely blows my mind Bitcoin is the 7th largest asset in the world

And I don't know a single person in real life who owns any or directly invests in it... or even cares to hear about it
