I've discovered this cool old tech, everything gift cards! Just carry them around and you can exchange them for stuff. Best part is, they get cheaper all the time!
Most people and businesses are so used to this old tech of economic energy transfer that they work hard to be able to get and use these gift cards to pay each other for stuff, but the government has a special bank that "accidentally" created a duplicate money bug so they can just make as many of these as they'd like! This is great for those at the top, and bad for the rest of us. Saving in these causes savings to just slowly become worth less over time! Sounds unfair to me.
I prefer to save and pay with money that's equally hard for everyone to make, like Bitcoin, though the businesses have to realize it's a better monetary network than this gift card one (kinda like MasterCard vs Visa, only MasterCard is fair, open, and free for anyone to use globally... Oh wait no, that's Bitcoin) and that's not likely to happen until Bitcoin is legally considered money that is not subjected to taxation of the other system.
Stop using Gift Cards, Start using Digital Hard Money. It's new tech, nothing else. The Dollar 2.0, controlled by no one, secured by everyone.

Bitcoin is immortal.
If there's ever anything that makes it less efficient, it will fork and the more efficient version will prevail.
The current dramas will pass and we'll all turn our thoughts to the next ones soon enough. Human beings are creatures that tend to focus significantly more on the short term than on the long term. While we also overestimate our own intelligence and try to solve problems that are WAY in the future when they're not even problems yet.
People seem to believe that the network needs to make up for the lowering block subsidy with more transaction fees because it appears that the network will require it due to the ever shrinking block subsidy, but blocks supported only by fees are not sustainable as it would suppress usage by people who want to transact cheaply. Why is the importance of low cost nodes causing us to ignore the importance of low cost transactions? We need both to remain usable and low cost by the greatest number of individuals in support of the end goal of decentralization over the long term, and we do not want to ever debase the network to achieve that goal.
If transaction fees were all that supported the current block, transaction fees would be over $500. This kills Bitcoin. Pushing for higher transaction fees kills Bitcoin.
Thankfully this is not the only option.
The Bitcoin of today is quite different from the Bitcoin of yesterday, and the Bitcoin of tomorrow will be quite different from the Bitcoin of today.
The block subsidy used to be 50 Bitcoin, it is now 3.125. Block subsidy has fallen 93.75% and yet the transaction fees are still low. Outside of moments of impatience causing temporary demand/fee spikes the fees generally have been a dollar or less, which translates to fewer Satoshis paid in fees over time. Block 450,000 had a median transaction fee of 19985 Sats worth at the time less than $0.20. Block 880,000 had a median transaction fee of 660 Sats, worth at the time roughly $0.66. Transaction fees are going down orders of magnitude in Satoshi terms, not up.
Bitcoin will change, sometimes in ways you may not agree. But it will always be here, and it will always be Bitcoin.
I forsee the network determining it is in it's best interest to increase division on the base chain, allowing the subsidy to continue the remaining 32 halving cycles beyond 2140 that Satoshi allows in the original code for up to 64 Halving events. Perhaps 64 won't be the limit as that will be updated in the future as needed as well.
Bitcoin might very well go up in value against time and energy forever, if you don't support sub dividing Satoshis today then at what price would you? What happens when 1 Sat = 0.01 Oz of gold? 0.1 Oz of gold? 1 Oz?10 Oz? 100 Oz? 1000 Oz? If it really does rise in value forever, it's inevitable.
IMO the simplest solution for adding regular network increased division might be to add a 0 to the balance of every wallet every time there's another halving, and to the definition of "1 Bitcoin" in terms of the new ever smaller base unit. Perhaps with a 0 added for every halving since the Genesis block when this change is instituted.
This would not be debasement, this is cutting the ever growing pizza into ever smaller slices as it gets bigger. There is still only 1 "Pizza".
There will only ever be 21,000,000 divisions of the original network size, which we currently call Bitcoin. IMO 1 Bitcoin should forever be 1/21,000,000 of the total network, and 1 Sat can always be the smallest unit on the network unless we want to give new names to the smaller units as well. We can do anything we want, the network is us.
Imagine how appealing to the average person owning Satoshis would be if their balance of Satoshis increased by 10 every 4 years but spending power per Satoshi remained roughly the same? All while their fraction of a Bitcoin never changes. Spending fractions of your personal growth would become intuitive as the network grows because people would be able to see it in terms they can understand.
The network needs to be usable by everyone, and easily understood by everyone. Not just people who understand math, history, computers, and the dangers of out of control governments that debase their currencies for destructive ends.
The age of FIAT and lies paid for with it are over, the future of freedom/truth/fairness is coming and nothing will stop it. Not even disagreements within the network. 😜😋
That's my thoughts on this matter currently, I'll think about it more and consider new information and perhaps my opinion will change. Who knows what the future holds.

I don't really understand how that counters my point that cutting off body parts without consent for no valid health reason other than potentially poor future hygiene, this is a barbaric practice. If toilet paper use becomes a significant enough hygiene problem people can choose to use a bidet, but you cannot choose to become whole again once circumcised without consent as a child.

The majority of Americans are paid less today than ACTUAL SLAVES were. See below.
---------------------
Feb 1971, Gold $35/oz, US Minimum Wage raised to $1.60/hr.
= 4.57% of an ounce of Gold for 1 hour of work, 21.88 Hours of work earns 1 oz of Gold. Minimum wage full time Job earns almost 2 ounces of gold in 1 week. Almost 100 ounces in a year.
---------------------
April 2025, Gold $3200/oz, US Minimum Wage $7.25/hr.
= 0.22% of an ounce of Gold for 1 hour of work. 441.38 Hours of work earns 1 oz of Gold. Minimum wage full time job earns almost 1/11th of an ounce of Gold in 1 week. Almost 5 ounces in a year.
---------------------
Actual slaves in the 1800s were sometimes allowed to put themselves up for hire! Let's compare how much they were paid in those cases.
"Wages varied across time and place but self-hire slaves could command between $100 a year (for unskilled labour in the early 19th century) to as much as $500 (for skilled work in the Lower South in the late 1850s). Skilled cabinetmakers and joiners could sometimes earn as much as white workers; a select few could even afford to buy themselves out of bondage."
Source: https://www.historyextra.com/period/general-history/slave-labour/
In the 1800s Gold was $18.99/oz. While unskilled slaves could be paid $100 - $200 for an entire year. That works out to 5.26 - 10.512 ounces of Gold per year, today worth $16,850 - $33,701. While a skilled slave would earn the equivalent of up to $84,252 today.
If you work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks that's 2000 hours.
$7.25 an hour times 2000 is an annual income of $14,500.
Full time minimum wage earners in 2025 are paid less in a year than unskilled slaves were in the 1800s.
While median income earners depending on source earn between $60k and $80k in 2025. Which is less than skilled slaves could earn.
Have fun at work tomorrow! 🌚

Based on my model, any amount makes you set for life if given enough time but let's do the math for ₿0.21.
₿0.21 ≈ $17,000.
Growth rate of bottom over the long term = 1.002046 compounding daily.
Held for 10 years the equation looks like this:
$17,000 * 1.002046^3650 = $29,516,750.70
Given expectation of the average 6.8% dollar debasement annually seen over the long term, the dollar will lose:
100/106.8 = 0.9363 or 6.367% spending power lost annually.
1*0.9363^10 = 0.5178 or 51.78% of value remaining.
$29,516,750.70 * 0.5178 = $15,283,357.82 of today's spending power.
So yes, if my model is correct then ₿0.21 would make someone set for life in 10 years. Hell, it would make someone set for life much sooner than that, but you get the point. 🙂🫡

Governments will be forced to adopt Nostr.
People will be forced to adopt Bitcoin.
I don't see anyone talking about the long term implications of soon being unable to tell if ANYTHING digital is real with how fast AI is developing. All "official" communications are now suspect. Soon you won't even be able to know for certain is even phone and video calls are real.
When anyone in their basement can create videos/pictures/audios/documents that all look official, and with scammers getting better at utilizing them all the time to extract value of people, how can we trust anything other than local in person events and official communications signed by verified keys on Nostr? How can custodians trust that they're talking to their customers? We can't, they can't.
When the custodians can't tell if it's you or a scammer, Bitcoin with private keys ultimately become the only way to secure your money against scammers.
Nostr is going to become a necessity, not just a novelty.
People don't realize the changes society is about to undergo.

If you're panic selling when the FIAT system is crashing hard, stop.
We just hit 1 zetahash for the first time a few days ago.
The difficulty adjustment just went up almost 7%, is at an all time high, and the next adjustment is looking like ANOTHER increase of around 10% is possible.
Just HODL, all the network attributes are massively in the green except FIAT price.
This is the FIAT system crashing, not Bitcoin.
Bitcoin will rise through the dust.
Change is difficult but necessary for growth to happen.

The answer is not race, it's economic.
The less financially secure you are, the more likely you are to lose access to housing and thus need to work more and put more of your income towards a home. This also means you don't have the time nor money to afford to eat well or sleep well. All leading to much higher levels of stress, which reduces rational thinking.
Financial insecurity also leads to parents working all the time, so children grow up without sufficient parenting.
Low money -> More work -> Less sleep -> Low nutrition diet -> Less time to spend with community building social bonds / Less time to spend with children providing sufficient parenting during formative years.
The hallmarks of poverty are the drivers of crime. Regardless of the subjects genetic variation.
In addition considering the southern United States made specific efforts since the civil war to suppress African American access to resources and assets (The segregation of neighborhoods and the destruction of Black Wall Street for example). These efforts were successful as IIRC African Americans have the lowest levels of wealth of any demographic in the United States. Keeping them poor and financially insecure, keeping them subservient to the system.
This coupled with the fact that if you can criminalize a population you can legally enslave them. Legal slavery is still alive in America, provided you can convict the subject of a crime first.
The high crime rates are, at least in part, by design. Keeping people poor and overworked so they can't think rationally and commit crimes, allowing them to be imprisoned and becoming legal profitable slaves for our private prison system.
Thankfully, Bitcoin fixes this by giving everyone access to permissionless banking and sound money to build a stable life on top. As Bitcoin adoption rises in demographics with traditionally high rates of financial insecurity and thus crime, there will be an observable reduction in poverty and crime rates over time.
We all want to reduce poverty and crime rates in all demographics correct? If so, then just help Bitcoin to grow because that's the solution to those problems.

I have done that, but it's much more time and effort than just throwing a bag in the microwave and eating it 2 minutes later. The harder something is to do the less likely it'll happen at all, so often I'll just skip the popcorn and snack on something else.
I'm just making the point that it's ridiculous that virtually every microwave popcorn on the market says it's "butter" but has no actual butter at all. Even the brands that say "Extra butter!" Or "EXTREME BUTTER" have NO BUTTER AT ALL.
Very disappointing that words have effectively lost all meaning. If it says butter, I want it to actually have butter.

Upcoming difficulty adjustment of nearly 6%. ✅
Bitcoin market cost below Bitcoin mining cost. ✅
In addition, we're only 3% above Bitcoin's minimum potential price trend line, a trend line only broken during global macro events that directly affect Bitcoin. Tarrifs don't directly affect Bitcoin, mining and stacking may even accelerate as everyone flees everything affected.
We're about to see Bitcoin massively pump to new ATHs, possibly triggering the beginning of this year's expected bubble that touches a million.

Monero's monetary policy doesn't drive value growth of the underlying token like Bitcoin does.
The equation for value:
Time Value * Energy Value = Total Value
The more time and energy something costs to create, the more value it contains.
Bitcoin's issuance policy simply doubles the time required to create a Bitcoin every 4 years, the market typically doesn't value twice as much overnight however. Often the energy drops a bit to compensate before it recovers (we see this with hashrate changes around the halvings). This doubling of the time value with virtually unchanged energy value doubles the outputs total value. This is a principle driver that drives Bitcoin higher over time, and attracts greater relative investment than anything else on earth over time.
Monero's monetary policy dictates a flat permanent tail emission of 0.3 Monero a minute. It's never revalued against time, and doesn't attract the same level of interest or investment as a result. Monero will never replace Bitcoin. The economics make it impossible.

Current potential bottom is $79,741.07, with the price at $81,321.04 today we're at 1.0198 times the potential bottom. Bitcoin has not fallen below this calculated potential bottom trend line 99.9% of the time since July 1st 2013 with a few exceptions of things for which we need to account and adjust.
This is after adjusting for the 2 large macro events that actually shifted the overall trend line downward on the Y axis, being the COVID shutdown and the China mining ban, as well as also ignoring the temporary mid 2015 exchange glitch that crashed the price for a few months but did not change the trajectory as it's resumed it's course after.
I know this sounds a lot like "it works perfectly! Except when it doesn't", but my personal view is that this simply means the growth rate of Bitcoin cannot be stopped, it can only be delayed. We cannot predict the future considering the unknown macro events that may very well shift the trend down again and delay it further, but I do know what is most likely to happen if macro events like that don't occur based on the historical data.
By April 5th we will have a potential bottom of $80k, with a strong possibility that we'll never go below that again.
By the end of 2028 we will likely see a potential bottom (unlikely to go lower) of $1,000,000 per coin regardless of the current temporary bubble that may touch that price briefly this year before correcting back to the overall trend line about a year later Q4 2026.

Impossible to know before it happens, which is why even with this data you don't day trade. The important thing this reveals is any shift in the Y axis is a different kind of temporary dip and simply delays the inevitable exponential growth of approximately 110% a year. The Y axis may be shifted unexpectedly, but the rate of growth over the long term is unchanged. Just hodl and you will more than double your spending power nearly every year on average.
Even after the 1, 2, punch of COVID shutting down the world and China, the most populated country in the world, banning Bitcoin mining, it only DELAYED Bitcoin's growth by about 2 years.
Bitcoin cannot be stopped. It's growth is inevitable. We will replace the dollar within the decade as the primary way to transfer liquidity everywhere on earth, and that's only the beginning. We're entering a new age of human history, where for the first time ever we eliminate the rent seekers and money printers from the world by attracting their greed into a system that keeps everyone and everything fair. Humanity is about to be unleashed to the betterment of all.

Monero first broke $100 a token in 2016 and was roughly ₿0.1. 9 years later and the value is $200 and it's worth ₿0.0026.
Losing 97.4% of its Bitcoin value over 9 years.
Also since the dollar loses about 50% of it's value in 10 years, effectively Monero just avoids dollar debasement but doesn't meaningfully grow in any way.
For every $1000 you've held in Monero from 2016 that grew to $2000, you've lost 97.4% of the potential growth or about $75,000. Is losing $75,000 of growth worth the privacy gains of more effectively hiding your $1000? At that point you're robbing yourself friend.
Bitcoin grows 110% a year if you only track bottoms and adjust for major macro events that drop the trend line. With the value more than doubling every year I can easily and regularly split the value into multiple wallets which I might expect to lose access to by chance and perhaps regain access to in the future. Perceived greater privacy is not worth the loss of the greater benefit of exponentially growing savings which can be gifted to others and moved around into various wallets easily.
Bitcoin is the only coin worth holding.

Fuck that was good. I identified with Mark Baum (Steve Carrel's character) the most.
How he saw things is how I see things. The entire Fiat system is a house of cards built on a foundation of corruption and death (war), all it does is hurt people. Owning Bitcoin is effectively shorting this corrupt system because it really is doomed to fail, if/when it does we'll rebuild on sound money.
My hope is the house of cards lasts until Bitcoin reaches parity with it, so the collapse won't be so bad. We'll see what the next decade looks like. It'll be a wild ride whenever it comes, if we're lucky it'll just be a bumpy transition. Fingers crossed.

Fiat is probably as far from a perfect measuring stick as one could get, but as it's currently the unit of account globally I feel it can be useful as a simple substitute for energy measurement and analysis of network growth trends until we start measuring energy more directly with joules or other.
Appreciate the response, I look forward to discussions like this becoming more common and in depth as adoption and understanding of Bitcoin grows.

It's based on a few things. Firstly, based on my personal model I expect Bitcoin to reach a minimum of $1,000,000 per coin by 2028, $10M by 2031, $100M by 2035 and so on until the mining network's growth slows down which isn't happening anytime soon. This is based on the 0.2046% average daily growth of the potential bottom seen outside of major macro events causing long term growth to be delayed as happened in 2020/2021.
As the mining network continues to grow over time, and the halving and difficulty adjustment continues to reprice the Bitcoin rewards relative to energy input, the value of Satoshi's will rise to be large enough to divide with little controversy. For without further division the network will gradually become unusable over time as the value rises.
Once this division occurs, the transaction fees can further drop and extend the block subsidy's use as the primary block reward. When we increase division on a regular interval automatically akin to the difficulty adjustment, then the final block subsidy will not be in 2140 on the 32nd halving but in 2268 on the 64th halving when the world will have been using Bitcoin for over 250 years.
But after only 50 years the world will see Bitcoin as a necessity and not a curiosity, and a block subsidy and transaction fees will gradually no longer be the primary reason to mine as simply securing the network becomes it's own reward. Therefore the transaction fees will never support the mining of new blocks, for we will instead see a transition from a world of mining blocks for the block subsidy to a world of mining blocks for the security benefit it provides.

"I don't know" is the more honest and accurate statement in many cases. I generally use it, but in this case my view is that the cost of energy ultimately plummets to nothing as energy becomes abundant. At that point energy's primary use becomes to secure the Bitcoin network and our own savings, then when the block reward won't be replaced by transaction fees as the reward will be users simply helping to secure the network.
Users will possibly subsidize the network to secure their own savings. In hundreds of years when the block reward drops to zero the world will look completely different. We may not even need Bitcoin at that point, perhaps Bitcoin is transitory to whatever the future ends up being.
As for the last point, it's hard to say what we will use to measure the ever growing spending power of Satoshis in the future. The dollar and cents will only be useful for so long until Bitcoin becomes the dominant money globally. Perhaps we'll measure value in Gold oz, I don't know. But we're at least a decade away from the downfall of the dollar IMO.

2025-04-01 13:48:59 GMT

Transaction fees will never support block creation in place of the block rewards.
Bitcoin's value growth will exceed expectations and make it necessary to introduce a regularly occurring decimal shift with increased division very soon.
Satoshi even suggested this could one day occur (see attached image) and in the code included the limit of only up to 64 halvings being allowed, even though the math of current divisibility means we can't have more than 32 halvings.
It is likely the network will fork within the next decade into one that divides further and one that doesn't, with possibly no other major changes.
This need for increased divisibility will be clear when Satoshi's reach ¢/Sat parity in the next few years. IMO consensus will be found for adding a function to increase all balances by 10 with every halving, including a 1 time adjustment to add a 0 for every halving that's already occurred since network creation. If this were to occur by the 2028 halving, than we would have added five 0s to the network after that date. One Sat today would be worth ten thousand Sats tomorrow. This would effectively gives a "Coin split" and make the network easier to work with in small amounts while maintaining the current ratio of balances between users.
We can keep the meaning of 1 Bitcoin = 1 21 millionth of the whole network, thus maintaining the ♾️/21 million aspect of Bitcoin's scarcity narrative, but we can increase the number of Satoshi's each Bitcoin contains within it to maintain usability over the long term.
This would also help us naturally shift towards thinking in Sats over Bitcoins, as the number of sats you own would multiply by 10 every 4 years while the fraction of a Bitcoin would be unchanged.

Bitcoin is still on track overall, even if different from previous bull runs. The longer the buildup the higher the climb.
Current daily low so far: $81,300.10
Expected minimum daily bottom: $79,253.63
Ratio between actual daily bottom and expected daily minimum: 1.02582.
Since 10/27/2015 Bitcoin's price has been above my calculated daily bottom minimum price 98.8% of the time.
Daily bottom trendline can be shifted downward due to global macro events, such as happened in 2020's Covid crash (10% shift) and in 2021's China mining ban (72.6% shift), but rate of growth (slope) remains unchanged.

Don't throw out the baby with the bath water, dismiss unverified medicine unless you understand it enough to trust it based on your own research.
FIAT has corrupted everything, science and medicine included. But real science and medicine is still out there, and will reveal itself to those who spend the time to verify it for themselves.

It's the number I personally came to when analysing the overall growth of daily bottoms seen over the last 12 years. After playing with the numbers for a few days I came to the following:
Starting the chart with a potential bottom of $50 July 1st, 2013 and growing the line exponentially with a daily growth rate of 1.002046 compounding. Adjusting the line approximately 10% down with the COVID flash crash in 2020, and 72.6% down with China banning mining in 2021. With that info I get the following charts, with the price staying above the adjusted bottom trend line 97.3% of the days since July 1st 2013.
The recent bottom this month was 1.007 times the calculated bottom trend line.
If this is the actual trend line that holds long term, then we're on track to hit a minimum price of $1m per coin in 2028, and $10m in 2031.
The important revelation to me, is that whole the position of the slope on the Y axis has shifted twice due to macro events, the actual angle of the slope of exponential growth has never changed.

2025-03-29 14:55:42 GMT

"Why is Bitcoin performing so badly???"
Answer: It's not.
The overall trend line of potential bottom prices continues to grow as expected at 1.002046^X, where X is the number of days calculated. Accordingly, your Bitcoin is currently worth a minimum of $79,000 each ($78,930.30 to be exact), absent massive macro events that effect the whole network/planet and drop the trend line on the Y axis even more like with Covid (2020, 10% drop in Y axis) and China banning mining (2021, 72.6% drop in Y axis), anything above that baseline is icing on the cake and just noise coming from FIAT society.
Bitcoin is stable enough RIGHT NOW. You can live on it RIGHT NOW. Just treat the baseline as it's actual value and if it's above that great, try to buy when the price is closer to the baseline like right now and try to wait to pay off debts only when it deviates from the trendline more than 50% to the upside.
You can even use this post as your trendline calculation starting point.
For example, come 30 days from today on Apr 28th, 2025 the price can be expected to be above $78,930.30 * 1.002046^30 = $83,921.55.
1 year from today $78,930.30 * 1.002046^365 = $166,432.91.
Keep in mind that during pumps the price often reaches 50%+ above the overall trend before slowly converging together again 3 - 12 months later (the bigger the deviation the longer the time to reconverge, 12 months is only after bull peaks). Accumulate both more debt and more Bitcoin when it's close to the trendline, and watch for those pumps to get a little extra value out of your stack when you pay off the debt either in full or in larger than minimum payments. 🖖

Does this data isolate for women who are heavily religious and unlikely to realize there may be better partners out their for them to live a happy life with?
Religious beliefs pressure people heavily to stick with their first partner, even if that partner is abusive. If you ask me the long term success of a marriage is better measured in how happy both partners truly are within it and not simply the length. I would hazard a guess that a similar chart of overall happiness within a marriage based on previous partner count would have a standard Bell curve, showing that a few partners leads to significantly increased overall marital satisfaction.
But in that case, as in this one, there's way too many variables to consider this chart with any significance. Though it likely appeals to whatever narrative you already believe considering your statement.

Hey Dug! Your post got me curious so I looked into the actual value shift of your home over time: in 1955 1 British Pound was worth $2.80 US, as we all know at the time Gold was pegged to the dollar at $35/oz so gold was £12.50/oz.
Today, Gold is exchanged at £2340.48/oz.
£2340.48 / £12.50 = 187.24
100(%) / 187.24 = 0.534(%)
So the British Pound has lost 99.466% of it's value against gold over 70 years, or an approximate average of 7.2% a year (0.928^70 = 0.00535 (0.535%) value remaining).
Since you said you received an offer for just over 100x the 1955 purchase price, we can find it's current value lost over time.
£1635/£12.50 = 130.8 oz of Gold.
£1635 * 100 = £163,500 approximate current valuation.
£163,500 / £2340.48 = 69.86 oz of gold.
69.86 / 130.8 = 0.534 (53.4%)
So after 70 years your home can be exchanged for only 53.4% of the gold originally used to pay for it. Revealing a true loss of value of 46.6% over the last 70 years, or about 0.0089% lost against gold every year (0.9911^70 = 0.5348). 🖖🙂

The evidence indicates strongly that humans evolved over millions of years from now extinct ape-like ancestors that also branched off into bonobos and chimpanzees who are genetically our closest relatives. Your distrust of this data is natural as we all want to believe we're special and different from animals, yet we are a part of the animal kingdom my friend and there's nothing wrong with it.
Understanding difficult to comprehend truths such as these takes a lot of time, especially when those truths cause cognitive dissonance as they conflict with beliefs we have acquired from those around us, yet it is precisely time that we often lack as it has been robbed from us by the FIAT system so we are left in the dark unable to truly analyze the data presented before us.
Believing we were created as we are now suggests we are stagnant and unchanging and not growing as a species. Yet a lack of growth is the same as death. Progress doesn't stop, there is no beginning or end. We are always improving and growing as individuals, communities, and species.
All data that is revered as truth without deep analysis and verification, leads us to dead ends as we're afraid of discovering that we're wrong. It is uncomfortable to face the unknown and the limits of our own knowledge, but that is where true growth is found. Always seek to disprove your current beliefs if you want to know truth, false beliefs will fall and true beliefs will stand the tests put onto them.

"They will make more houses. They will print more money. They will find more gold. Companies will issue more stock. More companies will be created. But there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin."
"Humanity, until the end of time, will generate value. But where will that value go? How will they seek to represent it? A digital element possesses no limitation in speed of transference, nor the same difficulty of accessibility as a physical item, nor any requirement to carry. Thus a value instrument existing in the digital form reigns supreme. No other instrument will offer the same value preservation protection and ease of recognizability and verifiability that bitcoin does. Since nothing else can truly be constrained in creation."
"Money itself is a vote, yet more votes can be issued, reducing the impact of others. But again, this is all they offer you. Your salaries remain fixed, yet in issuance of more units, the value of your salary decreases. But the time you give for those units remains the same. And in its continuation, drags you further and further to resembling a slave since they forcefully devalue your time. Eventually you’ll be working for nothing at all."
"Why work for something which can be devalued? Why work for something that subjects you to a system of control? What use is it to you? In being given bitcoin you have been given something universal. A unit of measurement that will likely exist 100 years from now, though will be understood in greater amount. The fiat system, without its users bound to it, is as useful for value representation as the numbers you type into a text document."
