I keep reading about how much Bitcoin you need to have made it in the future. At first, it was around 6 BTC, then it became 1 BTC, two years ago it dropped to 0.1 BTC, and now it's already 0.05 BTC and you're set for life.

Then some people calculate how many Sats are actually left for the rest of the population, now that over 90% are already mined and in fixed hands and we don't even make up 1% of Bitcoiners, and a number like 2650 Sats per person comes out.

Okay, let's simplify it: If you're on Nostr today or next year, have set up Lightning, and manage to earn 1-2 thousand Sats, you're among the top 5% of wealthy sound money owners. Agreed? Because, the units will probably be divided further, into Micro-Sats or something, eventually, when 1 Sat = $100.

So, make a few thousand Sats with Zaps today and your grandchildren will thank you and they'll hang your life-sized oil painting portrait, depicting you full-body with a pipe in your mouth as you pet a purring Siberian tiger, next to the house entrance.

Such bullshit

why?

It is delusional. Bitcoin will be worth a LOT. But 0.1 btc will not in the foreseeable future make you independent.

i guess. it depends on what we mean by ~~independence~~

Now read Bitcoin Hijacked, Roger Ver 👀😎

🥴🤣🤣🤣

calculating "sats left" is a fools errand and extremely dubious imo.

too bullish. bare minimum should be ~250,000 sats, and this is a hedge position for a statist fiat maximalist. 21,000,000BTC/(global population).

No way .05 is set for life that is some next level hopium. Unless you are 1 year old and plan to not spend it until you’re 100 years old.

Man, people are taking this way too serious. 😀

I have no idea about future prices, I usually don't engage in price predictions. I was just running my mind.

The math in your post doesn't seem to check out. $100/ sat would be in the six figure US dollar range for your call to action of "earning a few thousand sats." That isn't tiger money today, never mind once inflation really kicks in over the next couple decades.

I just got zapped by a mosquito… does that count?

Every Sat counts

Haha, you’re welcome!

Your post makes we want to get my kiddo on nostr

I was thinking about it the other day, already at 1M$ per BTC we would have 1 sats per cents, so if it goes above sats will be less granular than USD and might pose issues with rounding.

We need to thing about sub-sats sooner than later.
