Ray Dalio used to think the Yuan would displace the dollar as the global reserve currency. Now he seems to think gold will.
What he continues to miss is that you cannot send gold over the internet. You can only send gold IOUs. And the only reason gold IOUs worked for as long as they did since Bretton Woods is we were living in a unipolar world.
The USA was so dominant post WWII that the rest of the world was willing to accept the dollar as the singular gold IOU system. Those days have passed.
We are now living in a digital, multipolar world. Thus, trustless digital gold is needed. Who would trust China, or the US, or any other single country to manage a new gold IOU system?
Trying to go back to the gold standard again and again expecting different results than what got us to the fiat problems we face today is insanity.
Don’t trust. Verify.

Danny and Saylor’s perspectives are both valuable here.
Saylor is right that Bitcoiners do too much infighting among ourselves. And that companies are better off saving in Bitcoin than sticking to fiat assets.
Danny is right that most plebs are better off buying Bitcoin than betting on the latest Bitcoin treasury co.
It’s one thing to have a sizable cold storage stack and dabble a bit in minor treasury company plays. It’s quite another to hold no real corn and leave your fate to these management teams.
One is the corporate perspective, the other is the individual perspective.

“The ad men have persuaded you that if you could get this kind of car, this kind of yacht, this kind of house, this kind of scene, whatever it may be, you should. That’s the thing in life. That’s what’s important. And it doesn’t make people happy at all. And then they wonder why it doesn’t, and feel cheated. And they have to go to psychoanalysts, and churches, and things like that, to be persuaded that it’s coming sometime. Somehow, the thing that is always seems to be missing. And there’s nothing missing at all. Except, I mean, supposing you’re absolutely starved, and you just don’t have the normal flow of energy through your organism. Then, of course, you need food. Or if you’re freezing, you need shelter. But in the ordinary way, when you are fed and sheltered, there isn’t anything missing. It’s all here. But nobody is here to see it.

“This is in Zen parlance called the no-gate barrier, or the gateless gate. Because, it looks like a gate, a barrier, something to be attained, some entrance to a special in-group, so long as you’re standing outside it. But the moment you cross the border, the gate vanishes, so does the wall. And you see everybody at all, everybody in the world, as manifestations of the Buddha nature, or we’d say in Western terms of the divine power, and you see they’re all just behaving marvelously in their ignorance.”

Turning bearish on Bitcoin is often followed by rage quitting social media.
Lesson there.

To be sufficiently bullish on gold/silver over Bitcoin, one must imagine a bleak mad-max style future where the internet goes out forever, armed men trade heavy rocks with one another to buy cans of tuna, and civilization as we know it ceases to exist.
Reject doomerism. Embrace Bitcoin.

There are infinite dollars waiting to be printed. There are only 21M Bitcoin.

You can’t send gold over the internet.
You can send Bitcoin.

“Bodhidharma had said repeatedly to Eka, I have nothing to teach, go away. But Eka was so convinced that Bodhidharma had some secret which he could convey to him, that at last as a token of sincerity he cut off one of his arms while standing outside the teacher’s hut in the freezing snow and presented it to the teacher, crying. My mind is not pacified. Master, pacify my mind. Bodhidharma says, if you bring me that mind, I will pacify it for you. Eka said, when I search for my mind, I cannot hold it. Bodhidharma said, then your mind is pacified already. It is said that at this moment Eka had a sudden insight into the whole mystery of life, the problem of peace of mind, and the essential meaning of Buddhism itself.”

Save in Bitcoin when it’s “too high.” Save in Bitcoin when it’s “too low.”
Save in Bitcoin and focus on your craft.
