#Bitcoin aims to be the greatest savings vehicle in history, offering a revolutionary alternative to traditional methods of saving.
No need to worry about inflation ("savings" accounts), take on counter-party risk (bonds), or make bets on companies or economies (stocks) in order to "save."
Furthermore, there is no need to store blocks of metal, which are hard to secure and difficult to trade in small quantities or across oceans (gold).
Moreover, no need to maintain property, pay property tax, become a landlord or bet on local economies (real estate) in order to "save." 🤔
Humanity has not had a good savings "technology" since gold.
#Bitcoin , however, improves on gold significantly (divisibility, portability, security, trade-ability over distance, integrated with the Internet).
Fiat has unfortunately destroyed our collective memory of what it means to save; Bitcoin is here to restore that.
The word "aims" in the first sentence is important. #Bitcoin is a "start-up" savings tech and thus is highly volatile now. Savings should not be volatile, but #Bitcoin savers have in fact seen their purchasing power rise dramatically.
With time, Bitcoin will become a non-bet, a future true savings vehicle.
Decades of fiat have forced us to think that "savings" = risky investments, i.e., speculating in companies, economies and real estate, and assuming counterparty risk in bonds and currencies of crumbling governments.
We can hope that #Bitcoin will restore a true culture of savings, leading to an economic and cultural renaissance.
Alt/Sh****-coins, including Ethereum, may achieve other things, but they are not even pretending to be saving tech.
#BTCÂ , however, is the only credible contender to become true savings tech and win the "market" for savings.
Savings is (almost by definition) the largest total addressable market on the planet.
With BTC and the Bitcoin Network, we have the potential to revolutionize the way we save and make a real, lasting impact on our economic and cultural future. 🧡
