McKinsey just accidentally wrote the ultimate bull case for Bitcoin.
They dropped a new report on the "Future of Risk".
The TLDR: The legacy system is fragile, blind, and panicking. They admit "uncertainty is up 9x" and "assurance is dead". While they tell banks to build "nerve centers" to survive, Bitcoiners are already immune.
Here is the breakdown:
“Assurance is Dead"
McKinsey explicitly says quarterly audits and sample testing are dead. They can't keep up with the speed of risk.
TradFi Solution: Spend billions trying to build "digital twins" of their balance sheets.
The Reality: They are trying to recreate what we already have. The Mempool and Timechain are the only real time, 100% auditable monitoring that exists. We are decades ahead.
9x Geopolitical Chaos
The "World Uncertainty Index" is 9x higher than 20 years ago. Capital flows are being weaponized.
The Edge: You don't need a "Geopolitical Pulse Check" pod. You need an asset with zero counterparty risk and zero allegiance to any state. Self-custody is the only hedge against a weaponized financial system.
Single Points of Failure
They are terrified of "interconnected contagion" where one cyber event nukes the whole chain.
The Edge: While they try to patch their centralized silos, we build on a decentralized protocol designed to survive nuclear disconnects. No CEO to sanction. No cloud provider to de-platform.
The Rise of Agents
McKinsey envisions a workforce of "hybrid squads" of bots and agents.
The Edge: They want "ethics stewards" to oversee AI. We just give the AI a Lightning wallet and cryptographic rules. Agents can't KYC…they will use sats. We don't need oversight; we have verification.
The takeaway for the Sovereign Individual:
Banks are reacting to uncertainty by hiring armies of risk managers.
Bitcoiners preempt uncertainty by opting out of the system that creates it.
You are your own Nerve Center.
