"Bitcoin has no intrinsic value. Gold does!"
Oh, does it now?
Let me blow your mind: 95% of gold sits in vaults doing absolutely nothing.
It's not powering electronics at scale. It's not being worn. It's just... sitting there. Because humans decided it's valuable.
That's not intrinsic value. That's monetary premium.
The exact same thing Bitcoin has. Except Bitcoin does it better:
• Harder to confiscate
• Easier to verify
• Impossible to counterfeit
• Infinitely divisible
• Moves at the speed of light across the planet
The "intrinsic value" argument is pure copium. If jewelry demand vanished tomorrow, gold would still be valuable—not because you can make circuits with it, but because of its monetary properties.
Just like Bitcoin.
"Gold will be the reserve currency!"
The gold standard failed. You know why?
Because governments couldn't print their way out of wars and welfare programs while on it. So they ditched it.
They called it "flexibility." I call it theft.
"Moderate inflation (~2%) is good!"
Good for WHO exactly?
Not savers. Not workers. Not anyone whose paycheck is denominated in melting currency.
Inflation is a hidden tax. It quietly transfers wealth from you to asset holders and everyone closest to the money printer: governments, banks, the Cantillon crew.
"But 2% is harmless!"
Really? Compound that over 30 years and your dollar loses about 45% of its purchasing power.
But wait, it gets worse.
Real monetary expansion runs closer to 6%. At that rate, your dollar loses HALF its value in roughly 12 years.
Ouch.
Bitcoin fixes this.

Fatih Altaylı’nın gözaltına alınmasına sebep olan, “Cumhurbaşkanını tehdit ettiği” iddia edilen videonun tamamı bu videodur.
Kamuoyuna servis edilen video ise bağlamından koparılmış, kesilip bi��ilmiş bir şekilde dolaşıma sokulmuş.
Altaylı’nın konuşmasında Osmanlı dönemine ait tarihsel örnekler üzerinden genel bir değerlendirme yapıldığı açıkça görülüyor.

I get the rationale for a Bitcoin reserve. I don't agree with it, but I get it. We have a gold reserve. Bitcoin is digital gold, which is better than analog gold. So let's create a Bitcoin reserve too. But what's the rationale for an XRP reserve? Why the hell would we need that?

16 years ago, the EU and US economies were neck and neck.
Today, the US economy is 50% larger than the entire EU combined.
Here's the devastating truth behind Europe's ongoing economic suicide 🧵:
@schaaf_jurgen I’m a latecomer to the Euro.
Those who used 1 Euro in 1999 enjoyed greater purchasing power than me and my 1 Euro today.
They bought houses many people can’t afford today - their wealth rose while young people today are poorer.
That’s significant redistribution effects!
Arrest of Pavel Durov is a disturbing attack on free speech and a threat not just to Telegram but to any online platform.
Governments should not engage in censorship. This is a blatant and deeply troubling overreach of power.
China just arrested the billionaire founder of a free speech messaging app for not moderating and censoring the content to their liking.
Iran is arresting their own citizens for posting things they don’t approve of.
Just kidding…
That was France and England.
