@TheRootedNomad Why does a currency have to stretch? Why not instead of borrowing you save. Saving in a hard money environment will be much easier because the saving will actually hold or even grow their purchasing power. And borrow rates are low in hard money environment.
Bitcoin = money that dictators can't stop.
Let me translate that for the people in the back who still think their vote matters more than their private keys.
Bitcoin is the first monetary weapon in human history that laughs at tanks.
You can't bomb a protocol. You can't arrest a blockchain. You can't invade a network that lives everywhere and nowhere simultaneously.
Every dictator, every central planner, every empire builder throughout history has had one ultimate power - control the money, control the people.
Freeze the accounts. Seize the assets. Debase the currency. Starve the rebellion.
That playbook just got shredded. Bitcoin doesn't care about your borders. It doesn't require permission from the party, the politburo, or the pentagon.
It doesn't care if you're a dissident in Beijing, a trucker in Ottawa, or a journalist in Moscow who just pissed off the wrong oligarch.
21 million coins. Immutable. Unstoppable. Unseizable.
This is the first time in recorded civilization that individuals can hold wealth that tyrants cannot confiscate, cannot inflate away, and cannot shut down - even if they want to.
They can ban the exchanges. They can outlaw the miners. They can threaten you with prison.
But they cannot stop the protocol. That's not a bug. That's the entire point.
Bitcoin is sovereign money for sovereign individuals.
