#Bitcoin is clearly better money for a better world. This is obvious for anyone who spends time studying what money is and what makes some forms of money better than others.

Question:

Are there actual good, sustainable, profitable business models built on and around Bitcoin?

- Exchanges are one model, which have shown minimal success and sustainability to date.

- Lending models don't work nearly as well as they do on a fiat currency base--given the differences between depreciating (fiat) and appreciating (bitcoin) assets.

Other than holding bitcoin as a reserve asset on a corporate balance sheet--which I believe to be extremely wise--what business model exists (or could exist) that may actually outperform the long-term price performance of bitcoin itself?

I think the miners outperform 4-5x in the bull run

Definitely possible.

But I think they are unlikely to outperform over the long run.

Yes I think you’re right, but short term potentially highly lucrative

I think only a business that operates a Bitcoin standard with a strong positive cash flow that is independent of bitcoin. I think that’s the only “safe” leverage. Hence I’d own MSTR over any miner.

And it’s only safe so long as the strong positive cashflow remains.

I don’t see any other business model.
