I think as time goes on it will become easier to get a return in bitcoin denominated terms. Right now, it’s incredibly hard because the purchasing power is going up much more significantly than it will in the future.

In the future, behind every capital investment decision there will be two critical questions:
1) how much sats flow do I have at my disposal to invest? [input]
2) what are the expected sats flows from such an investment? [output]
You will only have sats flow to invest by having previously provided value, and you will only generate incremental sats flows by continuing to provide value in the future.

There is a extremely positive correlation between happiness and generating sats flows.

Sats flows are the only way to sustainably add bitcoin to your balance sheet. The capacity to continue capital markets transactions will eventually deplete.

An individual or company that doesn’t generate sats flows redistributes wealth over time to others who do.

The best time to focus on earning sats flows is when they are less understood and less valued... which is now.

The analysis doesn’t attempt to quantify the potential impact of mining pools being attacked, which could significantly affect the statistical calculations of required reserves (their analysis is likely understating the required reserves). Would be interesting to see this accounted for in additional analysis.

While the S&P and Nasdaq were down modestly on the week as investors digested a potentially longer path to central bank rate cuts, bitcoin ripped off another ~10% move up as net inflows to new spot ETFs accelerated to the tune of ~$2.5 billion. As price inflation proves stickier than hoped (even as measured by questionable official statistics), major pockets of traditional investment like commercial real estate continue to look more impaired, and central bankers worldwide say the quiet part out loud with growing frequency, we wouldn’t bet on this strong trend for interest in bitcoin reversing in the near term.

"Under a Bitcoin standard, earning bitcoin today will generally require less work than earning the equivalent amount of bitcoin in the future. Said another way, for the same amount of work you will earn less bitcoin in the future. This will emphasize the opportunity cost of foregoing bitcoin today for the prospect of bitcoin tomorrow (which will be harder to earn). When the objective is to accumulate as much of the 21 million fixed supply as possible, this will become a forcing function on a company's mindset for evaluating investments in growth."

Bitcoin knowledge distributes over time, but not that quickly. It certainly does not distribute as quickly as the price moves. Very little of the price appreciation is driven by a material increase in the understanding of bitcoin more broadly. When we begin to see an actual step change in broader appreciation of what bitcoin is, that’s when we’ll start to see multiple God candles (collectively, the Big One). Before then, there will be lots of speculative driven bulls which may seem like the Big One, but the Big One will come later, and it will be prolific. Until then, we continue to educate, build, contribute, invest, provide Proof of Work to bitcoin in our own unique ways, and stay humble and stack sats.

Bitcoin + AI
The Inevitable Convergence of Two Worldchanging Technologies
Bitcoin and new AI applications are both on course to drive a new wave of productivity and efficiency gains for humanity. While more people each day are beginning to appreciate the independent potential of each of these technologies to positively reshape the world (bitcoin: cure the ills of money printing, seigniorage, and financial censorship; AI: unlock significant productive and creative output potential), we believe additional excitement is warranted for the coming intersection of bitcoin and AI.
AI will be a powerful force to open up new design spaces and opportunities for bitcoin infrastructure and commodify bitcoin by making it more accessible, supporting the Ten31 thesis that bitcoin’s utility and applications will expand over time and that the TAM for bitcoin infrastructure is far bigger than most realize.
In addition, bitcoin will naturally complement the growth of AI, both serving as a payments tool for computational demands and asserting its scarcity to impose real world costs and constraints on any tendency for AI algorithms and AI produced content to replicate ad infinitum. In the age of digital infinity, bitcoin’s absolute scarcity will be king...
Finally, while the synergistic potential between Bitcoin and Nostr is becoming more obvious (particularly as lightning payments begin to proliferate across Nostr), we also believe AI could have a notable role to play. A few potential integrations we believe could drive value and form the early beginnings of a Bitcoin + Nostr + AI “tech stack of the future” are censorship resistance search and knowledge acquisition and discovery mechanisms.
Bitcoin and AI are world changing technologies to which all individuals and companies will be forced to adapt, and it is inevitable these two fields will eventually overlap. There are parallel platform shifts happening as a result of both bitcoin and generative AI, and the benefits of such a change generally accrue disproportionately to those who participate and/or invest the earliest. As such, individuals and businesses utilizing the tools now will be advantaged versus those who aren’t, and capital allocators who are investing in bitcoin infrastructure tied to these priorities in anticipation of the AI-driven tailwinds will be afforded the most asymmetric upside.
