With all of that said, the dollar system is probably the strongest, most entrenched network in the history of humanity; it could have another 100 years. Let’s not underestimate its global dominance, liquidity, and influence.

It is truly hard to fathom the paradigm shift that is occurring. Traditional finance wisdom that’s worked for the previous 60-year paradigm is no longer sound.
Berkshire Hathaway, led by Warren Buffett, has more T-Bills than the Federal Reserve, but Treasury yields are increasingly adequate.
This current paradigm is all about hard money, and Bitcoin is the hardest money ever.
Don’t overthink it.

Considering figures such as global debt-to-GDP and U.S. unfunded liabilities, there are only three ways I can think of to meet these obligations.
1) Austerity
2) Default
3) Money printing (inflation)
Money printing is most likely — given this insight, please consider this brilliant graph from Sam Callahan and @npub1a2c…w83a showing that linear increases to global M2 are strongly correlated to exponential price increases in #bitcoin. 10+ year relationship. Don’t overthink it.

I have a concept I refer to as the “financial gravity well”. It describes the situation of most people having to live paycheck to paycheck, month to month. Exiting the financial gravity well is like a satellite entering orbit — it’s no longer held down by gravity.
A person with a liquid net worth of $10M or greater has most likely escaped the financial gravity well. The interest they earn on their capital is more than enough for them to never have to work again and still live a comfortable lifestyle.
1.0 bitcoin will inevitably be worth more than $10M.
Get off zero. Stack a whole coin. Exit the financial gravity well.

Having the appropriate unit of account / understanding of the cost of capital (bitcoin) helps in a variety of ways. For example, we’ve compared every financial decision we’ve had to the opportunity cost of Bitcoin. This has forced us to be extremely judicious with our decisions, overall improving the quality of our allocations.
