scarcity requires trade-offs.

This ends in either the destruction of modern credit markets or MSTR blows up (because they don’t have all the bitcoin they say they have).

The interview with Saifedean has me a little worried.

It was a solid rip.

Our municipal government just bought brand new F250s for the cemetery division.

Yet another signal that debt is still too cheap.

Unless you’re getting paid to go, bitcoin conferences seem to be one of the most alluring shitcoins out there.

Problem is that the same people get paid to go to them all 🤷‍♂️

I’m not sure that we’re in a healthy credit issuance market. Nor have we been in one for the last 4 years. All the while bitcoin has grinded to ATHs. Let’s see what happens when they make loans available and affordable again … if I could lever up fiat debt on a real estate transaction … smash buy some btc and use the cashflow to DCA more btc, I would.

I am not a software developer. I need that imminent capital appreciation to put the bitcoin model to work in the real world. I have a project in mind … it’s for sale by a friendly acquaintance … he’s indicated he wants to sell it to me … but I can’t afford it without the price rip class of ‘21 was promised.

The popular “both Bitcoin and the dollar can coexist” narrative making the rounds on podcasts the last couple weeks is weak.

The market isn’t stupid. If given the opportunity to own bitcoin or USD, they’re gonna own bitcoin. If the market owns bitcoin then they won’t own US Treasuries. If they don’t own US Treasuries then the Fed will have to buy up ALL the US treasuries. If the Fed is buying ALL the US Treasuries then the private rate for debt will be much much higher than it already is…and asset values typically propped up by with credit will plummet.

From a first principles basis, there is no way a credit based fiat system can “coexist” with bitcoin. Bitcoin obsoletes the current super cheap credit-based monetary system.

It’s uncomfortable and inconvenient - yes - but that is why bitcoin will ultimately be so valuable.
