Imagine a gold bug with limited understanding of cryptography arriving around this glorious debate. Later on, when Craig Wright pushed his garbage I had to go back and verify for myself who's right, step by step. Hence the many months in total.

Bitcoin pays you to learn about it. I believe this and it's my experience. I've barely scratched the surface and it took me, maybe 12 years before it really sunk in. When I came to the conclusion that there was the same amount of money now as there was millions of years ago that was when a lightbulb started. Then I had to understand the ledger that can not be easily duplicated. I also find this meets my spiritual journey quite nicely.
This is very deep, I have to poor a drink to let it sink a bit. I've never thought about the amount of money being a constant the way you described it from ancient past to present. Also, I've never read something like this before anywhere else. A few weeks ago I came across some info that Constantinople at its peak concentrated between half and two thirds of everything of value of the known world to them (between today's Portugal and China, on the West-East axis). I wonder if Michael Saylor knows this also... 😅
