It's Going Up Forever Laura. This is Why...

In the realm of finance, a profound shift is underway, challenging traditional notions of value and scarcity. #Bitcoin stands at the forefront of this revolution, redefining our understanding of money and its role in society.

The dollar's value decreases over time, incentivizing debt and consumption. However, Bitcoin presents an alternative, promoting financial discipline and encouraging users to save or "Hodl" (hold on for dear life). This paradigm shift raises fundamental questions about the nature of value, scarcity, and the human relationship with money.

Bitcoin's finite supply of 21 million coins sparks an intriguing paradox: infinity divided by anything still equals infinity. This concept challenges traditional economic thinking, inviting us to reconsider the relationship between value, scarcity, and abundance.

As the global economy evolves, Bitcoin's significance will only grow, fostering financial freedom and empowering individuals to redefine their relationship with money.

With a market capitalization of $2 trillion, Bitcoin has ample room for growth, considering the global GDP exceeds $100 trillion and continues to rise. The asset's value transcends time, boasting a maximum supply of 21 million coins. However, estimates suggest around 5 million coins have been lost forever.

If Bitcoin becomes global currency, its price per coin will skyrocket. On the Bitcoin Standard, prices decrease over time. For instance, a house once costing 100 Bitcoins now costs just 6 Bitcoins.

Ultimately, Bitcoin represents the intersection of infinity and finitude. As the saying goes, "Infinity divided by anything still equals infinity." Bitcoin guarantees possession of finite, infinite value through its 21 million supply. By holding Bitcoins, one possesses a piece of all present and future value.

₿ = ∞/21M or ₿ = ∞

You aren't bullish enough. None of us are.

*The Real Risk of Holding Bitcoins*

The greatest #risk of holding Bitcoins isn't the price crashing to zero; it's human nature. #Bitcoin resembles cash in one key aspect: it's a bearer asset. This means possession is ownership. If you store your Bitcoins with a third party (e.g., Coinbase) and their website is hacked, your Satoshis can be stolen.

*Our Security Approach*

We buy Satoshis (the smallest unit of Bitcoin) from Cash App and immediately transfer them to a cold storage device (offline Bitcoin wallet) for maximum #security.

*The Biggest Risk*

The most significant risk associated with using the Bitcoin network is loss. If you forget your seed phrase (a unique 12- or 24-word passphrase granting access to your Bitcoins) or don't possess a physical cold wallet loaded with those words, you're out of luck. If you pass away and do not leave your keys to a family member, the Bitcoins will never be accessed again. Millions of Bitcoins have likely been lost forever, making the remaining ones more valuable.

The Gravity of #Bitcoin: Unstoppable and Unbanable

In the crypto space, losing money is the price of tuition. I played with leverage and lost money on speculative assets. Many people, including myself, come to make money. Some gamble and strike it big, but most eventually lose everything. Those who avoid ending up broken and bitter are the ones who research projects, build convictions around them, and become community builders and utility creators. Alternatively (quite often additionally), they genuinely understand Bitcoin.

The key difference between Bitcoin and other cryptos is that most projects are companies, whereas Bitcoin is a protocol. If something negative happens to Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, their respective company’s stocks will plummet. Bitcoin, however, has no such vulnerability. The inventor has disappeared.

“Satoshi created a way, gave it away, and walked away”

-Michael Saylor

There is no figurehead to target, no single person to sanction or slander. It's akin to attacking gravity – impossible. You can't ban Bitcoin; you can only ban yourself from it. Gravity doesn't require trust because it's a fundamental protocol of nature. When you drop something, its weight is verified. Similarly, Bitcoin's value is verifiable, making trust unnecessary.

Bitcoin invites us to look beyond speculation and build conviction on its unshakeable foundation. The gravity of truth holds: verifiable, trustless, and unassailable. Rise above the noise and trust the protocol.

Ideas can be dangerous to those in power and controlling the narrative is the ultimate prize.

The Word Of God, for instance, was controlled by the Catholic Church for centuries. Reading was so rare that people depended on the church for salvation. Books were very expensive.l and even if they had a Bible they would not be able to read it! The printing press changed this and the Word of God was available to everyone. The Protestant Reformation occured in part because this key technology allowed for the widespread distribution of new ideas and theological material.

One piece of technology changes centuries of thinking and provides sovereignty (in this case salvation) to the individual.

First came mass communication with the Internet and shortly after #Bitcoin was invented allowing for true absolute scarcity through a perfectly decentralized public ledger. Violence is deincentivized and theft made impractical. Imagine the world on this Bitcoin Standard. Things would become cheaper over time as technology is allowed to bring prices of goods down. No more printing money. No more funding endless war under the noses of your citizens. Government works for the people finally as they did when the world was on a gold standard.

The printing press allowed for the separation of church and state.

Bitcoin allows the separation of money and state. Because at the end of the day money is just an idea. Ideas can be dangerous to those in power. And the narrative is the ultimate prize.

Its not of huge concern to know who invented Bitcoin. What matters is that it works...Do you know who invented the wheel? No one does. But it works and society uses it every day.

Do you plan to die with your Bitcoin? If not then what happens to your BTC when you pass?

Are we currently in a Fourth Turning?

Good morning. 🥰

One day you will be scrolling through Instagram and you will not be able to tell the difference between what is made by a human and what is created by #AI. #Bitcoin bridges the gap due to its finality. It anchors digital information to physical #energy. It IS energy. In the same way we can verify financial transactions with math and proof of work, in the future we could use cryptography to verify what is real and what isn't real on the Internet..

Beautifully said. I really needed this. Thank you!

Feeling #hurt right now 'cause I've had several "friends" of mine call me ignorant and trash because I promote #Bitcoin. I've offered to buy them books, send them free Sats, everything I could do to help free them from the #Fiat Matrix. Orange Pilling is not for the faint of ❤️.

Good Morning Nostr!

Satoshi found a way then he walked away.

Good Morning!

"You will spend 40,000 hours of your life trying to make money, it's worthwhile to spend 100 hours figuring out how to keep it." Michael Saylor

The main reason Bitcoin will go up in USD price forever is because it is scarce and Fiat is not.

Bitcoin gives users the ability to store ANY amount of accumulated wealth in their head and recover it anywhere in the world.

I know in the current environment in America this seems silly to most. Money isn't completely broken here (yet). But imagine you live in Taiwan and you need to escape Chinese border guards but can't carry any belongings or cash. Imagine you are trying to escape Russia with your life savings but your bank accounts are frozen. Or what if you live in Haiti and you are forced to watch your native currency hyper inflated into oblivion and thus your hard learned savings is reduced by over 100 percent a year.

These are real problems around the world.

I know most of y'all think Bitcoin a joke. But I'm not laughing. This technology has and will continue to promote self sovereignty and I will forever try to share my knowledge and promote it to anybody that will listen.
