A simple case for Bitcoin maximalism

You want to fix the money.

-After years of study you have reached the conclusion that Bitcoin is the best option (better than gold, political reform, etc..)

-You think that this is very important and will have a very positive impact on the world.

-You see “crypto” as a distraction at best, a scam at worst.

-You have seen Bitcoin exchanges fall to the temptations of becoming shitcoin casinos, abusing leverage, fractional reserve because of short-term profit.

-You have seen this cycle repeat multiple times in 2013, 2017, 2021.

--> Therefore you warn people to self-custody and avoid chasing the latest bubble, stay humble and stack sats.

Almost $800bn in losses at US banks... and that's only Treasuries! Nor even looking at MBS.

Let's be generous and say that avg. unrealised losses are only 30% of long term Treasury securities held by US banks.

That's 780 billion.

~2.6 trillion in US Treasury securities. 10yr T held since last year have up to 43% in unrealised losses.

Rates are up 4.75% in the past 12m

+1% Interest rates

-9% 10yr T
