The significance of #Bitcoin and the movement it represents is profound. It's a democratization of financial systems, a direct challenge to the status quo.

It's a shift in thinking about the nature of money, value, and trust. It's a chance to break free from the constraints of traditional banking systems, to create a more equal and sustainable world.

This is not just about Bitcoin as a currency or an investment; it's about Bitcoin as a symbol of change and empowerment.

If that doesn't excite you, then you might be missing the bigger picture.

Wow, this is very well articulated, sir. Will use in every orange pill intro from now on. PV 🤙

A decentralised store of value is not enough. Developed capital markets perform other functions as well, like lending (“inter-temporal consumption”), which requires the aggregation of funds from small savers, risk-sharing, separation of ownership & management etc. BTC might open the door for new entrants into financial markets once again, but complementary services that underpin modern capital markets will need to be built as well. One might be decentralised credit scores (perhaps credit scores for public keys to open the door for anonymisation) etc.

A decentralised currency for the vox populi is a crucial and fundamental first step, but capital markets are multivariate machines.
