Work, Rewards & Monetary Premiums🧵

A shovel moves dirt. The reward is gold.

A miner guesses numbers. The reward is a block.

A farmer grows hay. The reward is a bale.

A builder moves machines. The reward is a house.

Simple enough.

Work produces an asset.

But what matters is what kind of asset.

- Gold is elemental.

- Bitcoin is economical.

- Hay is consumable.

- Housing is protective.

Each one solves a real problem:

- Gold conducts.

- Bitcoin...?

- Hay sustains.

- Housing protects.

And when you look closer, you see who is playing status games.

- Gold carries monetary and status premium.

- Housing does too.

- Bitcoin strips the games out. It holds value without playing them.

- Hay just keeps things alive.

The real difference is in how the premium flows.

In the fiat world, monetary premiums leak away into politics, media, prestige.

In the Bitcoin world, the premium loops back into the circular economy.

It stays closer to the people who built it.

Work. Reward. Real value. Circular reinforcement.

That is the bright orange future.
