A Bitcoin hodler playing with FIRE

The same reason people stayed living in USSR and Eastern Europe during communism. They don't want the responsibility of being a free person.

Like all things, power and money corrupt absolutely. The new Core Devs don't have a big stack like the earlier ones so are poor (relatively) and incentivesed to corrupt the code for money.

If Bitcoin/Hard money replaces fiat, (it probably won't - people are addicted to free money), you can't do fiat games with it. You can only spend once - the same as gold. All this imaginary wealth the boomers have built up evaporates. The stock market, housing bubble.. it's illusionary wealth. That's what you are missing. Wealth accumulation goes to those who work (pow). Those shitty jobs no one wants to do, get some because they earn the most.

I agree 💯. Gold isn't going anywhere, it will remain a store of value into the future and Bitcoin isn't going to devour it.

Bitcoin will devour most of the other monetary premiums in the market, like housing, bonds and stocks etc.

Skipping Starbucks and Avocado 🥑 on toast isn't going to bridge that gap. The Boomera lied to us!!!! For the love of God, where are my bootstraps... They are my last hope!!!!

You know a forked chain becomes a new chain? Or how do you figure Bitcoin's supply has changed?

Meanwhile gold:

Gold isn't scarce. Bitcoins scarcity is defined by math and energy.

You said it's not money, so what difference does it make?
