As someone who has been making investment decisions with my own capital for 15 years
Bitcoin forces you to ask a really hard question:
“What do I now do with my time?”
For years I’ve thought about investments, run analysis, made a decision, made gains, made losses, in multiple asset classes, always looking for an advantage
But now, how do you beat Bitcoin the hurdle rate?
Serious question
And seriously hard to answer
Yes, the Gold bugs will point at recent ROI differentials
Yes, the VC funds will claim they can beat Bitcoin
Yes, the Bitcoin treasury cos will hype up their potential
But on a long enough time horizon, it remains VERY hard to beat the risk-reward of Bitcoin, when all considered
The adoption, the s-curve, the counter-party, the inflation, the debt, the financial exclusion, the open-source, the real world energy consumption
Saving and investing are not the same thing
Sound money for the digital age is here
So do you use those skills you’ve attained to actively hunt for investments?
It’s what you do
It’s what you’ve always done
But what if “Bitcoin solves the wealth problem”?
What if inter-generational wealth doesn’t need a company, a house, or a government bond, but self-custodied Bitcoin?
What if you’ve made a re-allocation which is slowly but surely doing exactly what you expected it to?
Yes, “but who will build the roads?” shout the Bitcoin treasury cos, this is the “we haven’t learnt how to refine oil yet” moment
Maybe
But maybe you don’t have to participate in the infrastructure plays
You own a portion of the network
All value accrues equally
I’ll figure it out
But no doubt, the role of an “investor” is shifting fast, obsolete in a sense
Schumpeters creative destruction in action
