Bitcoin turns individual success into collective upside. When one Bitcoiner prospers and saves more in Bitcoin, that value appreciation benefits every holder. It’s the first asset where you truly own a stake in the world’s success.

In my view, one thing people still underestimate about Bitcoin - despite it being in popular consciousness, covered in the media, and even championed by figures like Trump - is its value as a tax haven. Governments will keep printing money until bondholders push back. When that moment comes and printing is no longer an option, they’ll turn to taxation. And when taxation ramps up, Bitcoin becomes the ultimate refuge. Yes, there are no physical tax havens where high-net-worth individuals can relocate, but Bitcoin is different - it’s invisible, borderless, and can move across jurisdictions in seconds. That makes it extremely difficult to tax effectively. I believe it’s inevitable that this dynamic will be recognized, and when it is, Bitcoin will reach its full potential and valuation.

If you’ve been in Bitcoin for at least one full cycle, you’ve lived through something extraordinary. You held an asset the world dismissed as worthless. Everyone told you you were wrong, loudly and at scale. Yet you built the conviction to hold. That world is gone. Today Wall Street, policymakers, and even the media are at least neutral and often positive. Conviction is easy now because people just hand it off to their money managers. But you built yours in the most hostile climate Bitcoin will probably ever face. You tested it, challenged it, and refined it over years. Yes, the asset is remarkable. But the greater value is the lessons you learned and the trust you earned in your own judgment. That cannot be replicated. You have already had a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Now put it to work.

Bitcoin expertise requires curiosity and obsession. Nothing less.

I tried orange-pilling my friend about Bitcoin, but he kept saying things like “it doesn’t generate rent”, “it has no real value” ,“it’s overpriced - I missed it.” I just sat there silently staring at him and saying this is my mind - JUST BUY BITCOIN AND HOLD IT FOR TEN YEARS YOU DUMB FUCK.

My prediction is in <10 years USD stablecoins force global adoption to counter dollar dominance, turning Bitcoin into bedrock of finance.

In my estimate Bitcoin has a ~$200T addressable “monetary premium” market today. That is the thesis for the upside.

Bitcoin’s biggest long-term risk is quantum for signatures, not mining. Quantum-safe signatures can be added ahead of time.

Throughout history, people have always turned to two key stores of wealth - gold (and arguably silver) and real estate. So naturally, if you’re concerned about the devaluation of paper currency, you might ask: Why not just buy real estate and hold onto it? But the truth is - it’s not a great idea. Real estate is more sensitive to interest rates than to inflation. In environments where inflation runs high but rates are rising, real estate often loses value in real terms. On top of that, it’s a fixed, immovable asset - making it one of the easiest assets to tax. Local governments can raise property taxes whenever they need revenue, and you can’t exactly move the asset to a more favorable jurisdiction. It also lacks portability. Unlike Bitcoin, you can’t move real estate across borders - or even across state lines. In that sense, it’s not an effective hedge or a truly sovereign store of value.

At some point in the next 3 years people will realize that they have more to fear by not embracing bitcoin than by embracing bitcoin.

There’s no point in going on strike without first forming a union. Going on strike without organization is just self-inflicted martyrdom. Bitcoin is the union. Bitcoin is how people are going on strike against central banking, which is at the root of many of today’s problems.

At this point, it’s almost inevitable that socialism will rise as AI displaces jobs and deepens the imbalance between labor and capital.

Real estate's $370T value hides $132T-$203T speculative premium from fiat debasement. Bitcoin will collapse this, making homes utility-based again.

Unpopular opinion: Michael Saylor has created more value for more individuals than almost anyone else. Yes, people often point to figures like Jeff Bezos or Jensen Huang who’ve created massive value through innovation, jobs, and shareholder returns. But Saylor’s impact is different - he didn’t just build a product, he educated millions. He helped countless people understand Bitcoin, its importance, and its role as digital property. And more importantly, he gave them the conviction to act on that understanding. He stood for belief, for property rights, and for individual sovereignty. Unlike many others, he didn’t promote a security - he championed a form of property that’s censorship resistant, accessible to anyone with an internet connection, across any jurisdiction. I know it’s not a mainstream view, but I genuinely believe he’ll be remembered as one of the greatest educators of our time. In the next 10 years, his influence will be undeniable. There is no second best.

The biggest innovation of this century is the creation of digital scarcity - Bitcoin. It allows people to move their assets from the physical world to the blockchain, eliminating friction, bypassing governance structures, and removing bureaucratic barriers. It’s incredibly powerful. People often underestimate or don’t fully grasp its significance today, but looking back, I believe it will be seen as a breakthrough on par with the abolition of slavery or the fall of communism. That’s the scale of impact we’re talking about.

Is upward mobility even possible in the age of AI? I’m not sure .. It feels like it might be dead. And that’s a big deal, because upward mobility is essential for career growth. Honestly, if that no longer exists, I’m not sure the concept of a “career” does either. It’s an interesting thought… but also a pretty unsettling.
