We’re still so early in Bitcoin that even when you group together all the companies building around it, it still looks like a hyper niche market to most people.
The products being developed might seem odd or ahead of their time, but this could very well be a build it and they will come moment.
At this stage, many of the companies that appear to be operating on a Bitcoin standard are still seen through a fiat lens, as if they’re just traditional businesses with a Bitcoin twist, but over time, that perception may flip.
Some things, like multi century projects or long term alignment with incorruptible money; might only be possible on a true Bitcoin standard.
Eventually, it may make far more sense to invest your Bitcoin into Bitcoin native companies rather than sell it to buy some leveraged fiat proxy.
Right now, that idea still feels ahead of its time, but it won’t stay that way forever.
Our vision of Bitcoin’s future is still tethered to ideas of the past; rooted in hard money nostalgia.
It’s like imagining a flying car that looks like a DeLorean with a flux capacitor; cool, but still confined by retro expectations.
The real future of Bitcoin will likely be far more imaginative, and far more practical, than what we can currently dream up.
Critics may get bitter about Bitcoin’s rising prominence, but that raises the question: compared to what? The existing system, where a select few benefit at everyone else’s expense? They’re welcome to keep playing that rigged game…but we finally have options.
Why wouldn’t we explore the one designed to be fair and accessible?
Bitcoin isn’t exclusive…it’s an open invitation to anyone ready to step into the future and understand what’s possible.
