Spitballing something extemporaneously here. let me know if I'm on the right track here or tell me i'm a moron: Bitcoiners' wealth is by definition sucked out of the fiat system. For each "dollar-denominated unit of value" that Bitcoin sucks in, it dissolves off the manipulation, inflation and lies, leaving some as-yet unknown remainder of "real value" in its own system. We collectively, as a species, will discover how much real value was harvested. This doesn't seem to square with the idea that you're "getting rich" as bitcoin's USD price appreciates. if "100 USD" is "actually worth 10 USD of 'real value'", then when you "buy $100 worth of bitcoin", you're only getting "$10 worth of value".... wut? Not quite. As the supply of fiat currency continues to inflate away, Bitcoin's price rises not only as a reflection of demand, but as a signal of value being preserved **outside** a manipulated system. Over time, this process will reveal how much true value Bitcoin has captured - well beyond the fluctuating USD price. View quoted note →
