Hello, I am C-3BTC, human Bitcoin relations. How may I help you?

The banks won’t tell you what’s really on the table.

#Bitcoin is a genius work of art.

I don't think she is saying nobody over 50 gets Bitcoin. You have to admit the largest demo, by far, is under 50.

Another Dude 2y ago

Sure man. I mainly disagree with the point >50 are into gold.

Boomers were all about gold 57-75 (Saylor is actually just in as a Boomer by 1 year.. for all this ‘Boomer’ haters)

Gen X were initially all about property with the transition into Bitcoin and you’re correct, Millennials are probably the biggest adopters by demo, followed closely by Gen-Z

#Bitcoin doesn’t have a CEO, a company or potentially bad actors controlling it.

Howdy partner. The #Bitcoin Sheriff’s in town and he’s packin’ a hardware wallet.

In certain macro circles, so many people (especially >50 y/o) are big into the idea of a gold-backed BRICS currency and how it'll subvert the dollar and moon the price of gold.

And while there's some truth to it directionally over a certain time frame (e.g. Zoltan Pozsar's "Bretton Woods 3.0" theme, and BRICS nations really are trying to de-dollarize or at least diversify their payments and savings exposure to varying degrees), it's clearly a weak solution in the long run.

Bretton Woods failed within like 12 years of being fully implemented. Why? Because the proliferation of IOUs was not constrained, but the underlying metal was.

And that was with America being a hyperpower. A bunch of separate BRICS nations, some of which don't even like each other much (e.g. China and India), putting together some coalition is shaky form the start. Who will trust the audits of how much gold or commodities they have in their reserves?

In the intermediate term, it does make sense for BRICS countries to route payments through other systems, such as the New Development Bank (formerly known as the BRICS Development Bank) or through various bilateral swaps. But the longevity of such a model is dubious.

Bitcoin is too small at the present time to serve as solution for this scale of global trade, but in the long arc of time it seems a far more obvious solution for global payments and reserves.

You’re wrong about that.

50 yo, in fact most Gen X are the computer age and more in tune with Bitcoin than what you believe.

Bitcoin was created by Gen X, promoted by Gen X and adopted by Gen X with major real world financial backing (Saylor as one example). Check your fire 😉
