Unit of account has nothing to do with what bitcoin is or is not backed by. I am only pointing out the irony of measuring hard money purchasing power in soft money ibstead of another hard money.

You can get 28.6 ounces of $gold with a bitcoin right now ($btc price 76189$). The #bitcoin #ATH was in November 2021, when you could get a whopping 37 ounces of gold with a single bitcoin. So today's price is about 77% off the ATH, meaning we need to see 98946$ to meaningfully speak of ATH.

”How much money is enough?” Is always the wrong question. Answer is zero. Instead ask ”how much of a legacy do I want to leave behind?”

He accidentally makes an excellent point: you can do with a satoshi everything you can do with a bitcoin (valuation aside). This is the rothbardian argument for a locked maximum circulation in hard money: any locked amount will work on any size of economy.

Listen up. #Bitcoin is not scarce (for the majority).
Let me explain.
Bitcoin will not be scarce to most individuals because they won't care if it's held by a custodian or if they have control of their keys. This will keep real bitcoin prices suppressed.
Those who value self-custody can accumulate real bitcoin at a discount while the ignorant majority engages in a game of musical chairs.
The situation won't be much different from the current #fiat system, except for one crucial aspect: the possibility to opt-out. Bitcoin offers an alternative for those who want to escape the legacy financial system.
Most people will never care how their money operates, just like they don't care about the inner workings of their cars. Number go up, but it's mostly due to bitcoin being denominated in hyperinflating fiat currency rather than the immediate adoption of hard money standard.
We're unlikely to witness hyperbitcoinization during our lifetimes. So, take a breath and remember that bitcoin's path to widespread adoption will be gradual. Don’t worry about missing out on bitcoin before it "moons.”
Bitcoin's true value lies in its potential to disrupt the existing financial system, offering more control, security, and autonomy to individuals. Who even cares about the dollar price?
The concept of scarcity in bitcoin extends beyond its trade value. It's about having sovereignty over your finances and securing generational liberty.
In conclusion, bitcoin's scarcity for individuals will be determined by their time preference, level of awareness of and desire for self-custody.
Stop waiting for the rocket ship, stack in silence, wield your freedom… and build the moon.

I have made my peace with the likely scenario that none of us alive today will be there for hyperbitcoinization. Wielding bitcoin is infinitely more important than Hodling. Your time is more scarce than anything, so spend it wisely. Spend it with your family and accumulate skill capital that you can pass down instead of a trivial balance of sats.

It’s the key to a happy and effective life. I used to worry a lot about things that ended up owning me. I thought I was free but truly far from it. After shaking the fear, I am more relaxed and able to contribute, build and stack more!

2024-09-05 15:34:39 GMT

#Bitcoin will not set you free.
When I left #fiat originally in 2011, I had no assets to my name and no cash. Everything I owned fit in a small backpack.
My key to freedom was not owning anything. That helped me realize I only needed my skills and will to advance. Bitcoin, of course, expedites everything, but you can’t buy freedom even with absolutely hard money.
You can always accumulate more using your skills. What holds many to fiat is the idea that spending bitcoin or not stacking hard enough makes you miss out on monumental gains. This may be true, but it’s a trader, not a builder mindset.
Builders never go hungry.
Don’t to be afraid of losing anything. This is a lesson I learned the hard way having lost everything including the will to live. As my final resort, I tried detatching from fiat and it fixed everything.
Bitcoin is not the answer, not needing it is.

As I explained in the original post, this is purely a theoretical exercise designed to participate in governmental discussions.
You are right! There are examples in the history of free private cities. So the question is, why don’t we have them anymore, and do we have the incentives and the tools to have them again? We might not yet be there, but I remain optimistic that free cities will become the norm within some generations. It is the natural “state” of things :)

Yes, it is difficult to explain the unexplainable. That's why many are drawn to easy solutions like a singular creator. That is something we, especially as creatives, can understand. However, we cannot know for sure, which is why I won't draw any conclusions. In the end, I don't need to or even want to know. It makes no difference in my life if I live inside a simulation or am a part of some collective consciousness experiencing a snapshot of an oscillating life force.

That's right. I don't think it's necessary, but if you have to choose a form of government, monarchy is the way to go. Ideally, of course, we'd have free private cities with private contracts and a profit driven service approach that treats people as customers, not subjects. @npub1lsj…wpee

That’s fair enough! Are you open to the idea of autonomous manifestation via conciousness / soul absent a singular designer? Lets call it life force for the lack of a better word. I am wary of the notion of central design due to near infinite variables piecing together something so complex.

The crux is never to initiate violence and to be a benevolent ruler. In any case, all potential issues arising from monarchy are exponentially worse in democracy precisely because of obfuscation of accountability in the name of ”equality” which is an unnatural concept to begin with.

Your #bitcoin stack is worthless.
What’s the point of having a fat stack of sats if the world around you is barren of beauty, freedom, and thriving communities?
Bitcoin is just money, even if it’s JUST money. It’s a tool, a means to an end, but what are you working towards? Why are you here?
It's fashionable in the bitcoin community to talk big about “generational wealth,” as if amassing a fortune and passing it down is the ultimate goal.
How about passing on the ability to accumulate skill and reputational capital—assets that grant the timeless ability to create value, regardless of the economic landscape?
If you have the skills to be useful to your fellow man, and if you’ve built a reputation as trustworthy and capable, you will never go hungry. Reputation and skill transcend the limitations of money. They are the true generational wealth.
Bitcoin is worth less in a world stripped of beauty, community, and purpose. It’s worth less if only hoarded rather than used to build, improve, and inspire.
Bitcoin is not worthless, of course. It’s the most potent money that ever emerged. However, it’s only as powerful as the world we build around it.
Don't leave your kids bitcoin. Leave them a legacy.
