This reframe seems to work. I am a history buff and can't unsee it.

Hideout above Vail Pass.

Living on a mountain top in more ways than one today.

We are already on a Bitcoin Standard. Hold/save in the best available and spend the inferior local currency when needed. No need for 100% adoption for everything to work just fine.

I think of the US Dollar in the same way I used to think of the Peso when taking a holiday in Mexico.

Bitcoin is already the world reserve currency. I have some local US Dollar Currency on hand to buy my everyday walking around items. I did the same thing when visiting Mexico in years past. I kept my long-term assets and savings all in US Dollars but exchanged my US Dollars for Pesos for walking around money. I do the same thing now in my home state of Colorado... My Bitcoin is the standard and my local US Dollar Currency is the inferior currency I use to spend around town around. No need for 100% Bitcoin adoption to get to this point.

If someone ask me about my Bitcoin exit strategy... I know they don't get it.

Bitcoin is the financial equivalent to the marine navigation concept of dead reckoning. In marine navigation, dead reckoning is the process of calculating the current position of a moving object by using a previously determined position, or fix, and incorporating estimates of speed, heading (or direction or course), and elapsed time.

Friends: You should take some profits. Me: And put it in what?

People will just walk around using a system of money that is controlled by the powerful. Over the last 100 years It's never been audited. Those same powerful people that think you are insignificant can print more while using it against your interest. A system rigged in favor of the top and too risky for those that are relegated to play the game from the bottom.

So many I talk to think "Investment" Bitcoin as an "investment" is clinging to a broken but familiar system. They can't see Bitcoin for what it is... A unchangeable ledger of all transactions audited and verified every 10 minutes with a limited supply. It's a new way of storing value for the future that can never be debased or manipulated by people that hold power over you.

The limits placed in Bitcoin supply is the reason governments and banks refuse to see value. Without an option to expand the supply, Bitcoin is useless.

There's not enough for everyone.

So many don't seem to have the capacity to see it.

I see the storm pushing over the divide.

Selling my dollars every chance I get.

I've stopped defending Bitcoin. When the subject comes up now, I ask them to defend dollars.

11 hours of sun today in the Colorado mountains.

When the music stops --- I'll be sitting on a #Bitcoin chair.

There are no free bitcoins.
