I think the big challenge for people with Bitcoin is that most people don’t even realize they have a problem, so they don’t see it as the solution. They’re comfortable, maybe a bit ignorant of the problems, and just drifting along quietly. The ones who really get it are usually people who’ve been jolted out of that comfort zone - and what causes that jolt is different for everyone, depending on where they are and what they’re facing.

The reason Bitcoin works is because it’s this massive, parallel, shared-nothing network. You’ve got hundreds of millions of people, all thinking for themselves in their own local circumstances, without needing permission from anyone. Another reason Bitcoin works is because people you don’t know, solving problems you don’t have, in places you’ve never been to settles upon Bitcoin as a solution. And that choice, multiplied across the world, ends up raising the value of the Bitcoin you already hold.

The people who embrace Bitcoin first are often those who felt blocked by the conventional system, felt hopeless, or were staring at some kind of crisis. That’s why twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings tend to get it first.

Bitcoin’s volatility often comes from upside, unlike equities where volatility is tied to downside. In other words, Bitcoin could fall if markets drop, but because there will only ever be 21 million coins, it is likely to bounce back even harder over time.

Bitcoin’s scarcity, difficulty adjustment, and proof-of-work are key strengths.

Bitcoin forces people to confront their own ego.

Bitcoin is the best frictionless way to express how you feel about debased currency.

Permissionless tech empowers people by removing needs to ask companies for access to money or speech.

Public companies act as "super spreaders" of Bitcoin, raising unlimited funds and amplifying adoption like virus.

If Bitcoin doesn’t win, everybody loses. Hardly anyone really gets that.

Just throwing this out into the ether — fate loves irony. People are saying in the 2024 elections that Bitcoin and crypto advocates helped flip things in Trump’s favor. But in the next election, it could just as easily swing the other way. If a large number of people feel like they were left out of the biggest crypto gains, they might end up flipping the election against the right in the US.

Bitcoin is homogeneous. Real Estate & Equities are heterogeneous. Once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

Most of the world still doesn’t get Bitcoin, and that’s actually a good thing. The way you make 10x or 100x is by understanding something that 95% of people don’t agree with yet. By the time everyone agrees, it’s no longer a great investment. It’s just mainstream. To make outsized gains, you need to be right, but also early enough that most people still think you’re wrong.

What is Bitcoin? It’s the first digital capital, the first perfect money. In 10,000 years of economic history, we’ve never had perfect money. The Austrians didn’t see it. The libertarians didn’t see it. The political scientists didn’t see it. You can’t really blame them, because it simply wasn’t possible before. We didn’t have the technology- things like semiconductors, cryptography, and the internet to make it real. Then Satoshi came along. Kind of like Galileo with the telescope. Once you have the telescope, the Copernican revolution takes off. In the same way, we needed Bitcoin for a true monetary and capital revolution. Most of the world still doesn’t get it, and that’s actually a good thing. The way you make 10x or 100x is by understanding something that 95% of people don’t agree with yet. By the time everyone agrees, it’s no longer a great investment. It’s just mainstream. To make outsized gains, you need to be right, but also early enough that most people still think you’re wrong.

Bitcoin is the ultimate savings technology, giving individuals control of their labor and time across generations.

Money is moving onto the internet. Stablecoins let dollars travel instantly, safely, and cheaply anywhere in the world. This could change banks, payments, and investing forever. Big players who adapt will win, while small banks and old payment systems may fade away. Soon, anyone with a phone could hold, send, and invest money like never before. Bitcoin is the bed rock.

The denominator isn’t dollars, it’s Bitcoin.

Success comes from a willingness to acknowledge reality.

Comparing Bitcoin to gold actually undersells it. Gold is just static matter limited by physics. Bitcoin is digital, programmable, and secured by energy, ASICs, and math. It’s not simply “digital gold” - it’s something beyond that. It’s a new monetary foundation that removes the weaknesses of physical commodities. Sure, comparing it to gold can help as an analogy when explaining it. But if you think deeper, Bitcoin isn’t gold 2.0. It’s the actual evolution of money itself. If you had to give it a name, you could call it “pure monetary capital.”
