If printing money is your only solution, I'm going to own the scarcest asset I can.

I asked one of my old Trad Fi friends for his opinion on Bitcoin.
"It's worthless", he said.
"I know", I replied. "But let's hear it anyway"
The Triffen dilemma was created as an excuse to defend money printing and trade deficits, government needed cover to support its actions.


(Mining as a commodity): Think of mining as something to purchase, rather than something to do. For example, you could hire a mercenary mining provider to work on a header containing the transactions of your choice. You could evaluate quality-of-service by asking the mining-provider to show you blocks-that-didn’t-quite-win, in addition to the winning blocks - similar to shares in p2pool.
The point of these two assumptions is that an attacker can purchase a quick “burst” of B blocks worth of hash-energy for the same price it would cost a miner at the normal rate. In this model, the attacker might temporarily wield much more hash-power than the rest of the network. Using the same $283 billion annual mining budget from the paper, a 7-block attack would cost an expected $30 million.
What would you do if you could summon a 7-block fork on demand? Well, MtGox (and pretty much everyone else) waits for 6-blocks of confirmation before making an irreversible decision. A profitable attack target might be to deposit $33 million worth of bitcoin into MtGox, withdraw it after 6 blocks, then rewind the network and double-spend the original $30 million back out. Expected profit: $3 million (%10 return). Since the attacker has a finite budget, then any attempt at producing a fixed number of blocks has a chance of failure. Potential downside: -$B if the attacker spends the entire budget without finding a 7th block. Potential upside: up to $33 million if the 7-blocks are found much faster than expected. This is the model of “gambler’s ruin”. Attacks of this nature might be profitable in the long run, but a losing streak leads to bankruptcy.

If Bitcoin was a cult it would be the only one in the world where its members would be invited to think for themselves and not trust any other members.
“Bitcoin is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s a get-rich-slow, stay-rich, build-civilization-back-up-right scheme.”

Bitcoin Is the First Monetary Asset That Rewards Stillness
Why Every Other Asset Is a Trap for the Restless Mind
Let’s get something out of the way:
You were raised to be a dopamine rat.
You were conditioned to scroll, to spend, to react.
The system taught you that your value is measured by how fast you chase the next thing, the next bag, the next trade.
They turned you into a high-frequency peasant, trading your time for tokens in a simulation of wealth.
And now you’re wondering why you feel anxious holding Bitcoin?
Let’s talk about it.
🍬 The Marshmallow Experiment Wasn’t About Candy, It Was About Fiat
In the 1970s, psychologists at Stanford conducted the now-famous Marshmallow Experiment.
They sat little kids in a room, placed a marshmallow on the table, and said:
“If you don’t eat this marshmallow for 15 minutes, we’ll give you TWO.”
Half the kids ate the marshmallow. The other half waited.
Decades later, the ones who waited had better life outcomes:
Higher SAT scores. Lower divorce rates. Better jobs.
Why? Because they understood delayed gratification.
They understood time preference - the idea that not consuming today opens the door to exponential gains tomorrow.
But you? You’re out here panicking when Bitcoin drops 8% on a Tuesday.
🕰️ Fiat Trains You to Have a High Time Preference
The fiat system demands your attention.
Why?
Because fiat is engineered to lose value over time.
Your dollars melt like ice cubes, so the game becomes:
“Spend them fast. Invest them fast. Turn them into something else before they evaporate.”
It’s why the average investor can’t hold anything longer than 3 months.
Why they chase the next AI token, the next meme stock, the next gambling narrative.
They are not investing. They are escaping decay.
Fiat erodes your wealth AND it erodes your psychology.
You become a stimulus-response animal.
A Pavlovian trader.
A monkey with a brokerage account.
🧘♂️ Bitcoin Is the First Asset That Says: Be Still.
You don’t have to trade it.
You don’t have to check the price.
You don’t have to flip options, read earnings, or decode Powell's stuttering.
You just… hold.
And the longer you do nothing, the more your purchasing power increases.
That’s it. That’s the whole game.
Bitcoin rewards the stoic. The patient. The philosopher.
It’s the only asset in the world where stillness is alpha.
Compare that to fiat:
Save fiat? You lose.
Hold fiat-denominated bonds? You bleed.
Sit in cash? You’re punished for “not being productive.”
Bitcoin inverts the whole psychology. It says:
“The world is sick. Step outside of it. Let time work for you instead of against you.”
This isn’t about “getting rich.”
It’s about getting free.
It’s about rewiring your mind to reject the velocity of consumption and embrace the geometry of capital truth.
Properly understood, Bitcoin is a temporal discipline device.
A meditation on value. A rejection of compulsion. A masterclass in stillness.
And if that makes you uncomfortable, good.
It means you're still detoxing from a life lived inside the fiat casino.
