Bitcoin is like a network of batteries that have the magical ability of instantly containing the amount of economic energy that the most recently produced batteries have, whether that's an increase or a decrease from before, and by coded law over time the most recently produced batteries require more time to charge. So far this has meant the entire network of batteries have become more and more energized with value, regardless of how much value they themselves took to produce at the time. Satoshis are batteries that store the value of the time and energy needed to produce the most recently generated units, this is why the network value tends to rise with the hashrate and diminishing output of Satoshis in return for that hashrate. The economy has always looked to the materials that store the most economic energy, for they serve as the hub of the economy that everything else orbits. Like an economic solar system with the most valuable network of trade units at the center. Unfortunately, because they've historically always been physical, the capture of the trade unit hub by those with the most ability to call upon physical violence was assured, giving rise to organized crime/government who centralized and controlled the creation and distribution of these units. But there has never in history been a government that did not get greedy and destroy the value of their trade unit, which usually destroys the thriving economies that surround them. When the value of the hub declines, so does the overall economy. Bitcoin is the ultimate hub, who's value is programmed to go up overtime and this changes everything. Who's existence is not in the material world but who's creation is anchored in it. Hard capped, proof of work, halving, decentralized, freedom units. Always easier to get today than 5 or more years in the future, globally needed and accessable. The rise of Bitcoin into a truly magnificent hub of value, will coincide with the decline of the greatest form of organized crime (governments) and the entire world will be better for it. "A new Golden age" doesn't even come close to what's accelerating towards human civilization in the 4th dimension of time. A new age of abundance around the hub of Bitcoin, not just of food and things but of time, which will bring humanity to it's Pax Humana. The Bitcoin batteries are forever charging, forever growing in energy density, forever spreading around the world, forever increasing freedom for all who are brave enough to learn and partake.

Today I paid Bitcoin for dinner. A local food-tent made me a chicken quesadilla and a beef burrito. The sending app was aqua wallet, over the lightning network, to square. After paying I tipped a 1/2 Idaho Goldback that I bought with Bitcoin, which the kids absolutely loved. Paid my bill with digital gold, tipped in physical gold. I just got a taste of the new Bitcoin and Gold Standard, and it was glorious. This is digital cash, use it as such. This post is not sponsored.

Bitcoin saves us from the new dark ages. The fall of "Rome" isn't going to drag the entire world down with it's bad money this time.

Bitcoin is mathematically enforced scarcity relative to time and energy and whatever value society gives those things at the time. Over time energy prices tend to go down, but the amount of energy competing for Bitcoin goes up on average more than the value falls, coupled with a programmed reduction of block subsidy output against time every 210k blocks, and you get near certainty that over the decades the value of Bitcoin will grow against everything else humanity produces. As you begin to truly understand this and find you have enough sats to live slowly, meaningfully, frugally, uncompromised on the hardest and most honest money, I would suggest stacking silver coins from your largest local mint. For those of us in the United States this means old silver coins from pre-1965 and new Silver Proof coins minted from 1992 onward. These coins often have no premium, if you pay attention you'll often be able to find them at or even below their current silver melt value meaning they are treated as nothing but the raw metal in terms of market value. Become familiar with the various methods of verifying the coins you receive for true silver content, understand the look of copper-clad vs silver coins by checking the edge, understand the difference in how they sound when dropped, and how they feel when held. To have savings that bring true peace of mind, you have to make your savings real. Holding real physical silver coins, and even gold for those stackers with truly substantial holdings, truly feels magical and connecting to a time in history when society used quality money in everyday commerce.
