Bitcoin gets value from 1 thing, and it’s not HODLing. Because if we only store it forever, it stops being a store of value 📉 Here’s an explanation why spending and selling Bitcoin is the key to make Bitcoin a store of value (SoV) AND a medium of exchange (MoE). Hodling Bitcoin builds conviction. It shows you believe in the long-term value of the asset. But if nobody spends it or sells it, nobody receives it ❌ And if nobody receives it, Bitcoin stops being a store of value. Circulation, not storage, is what proves Bitcoin works and keeps value. That’s why we broke down in detail why the “never sell” mantra can hurt both you and Bitcoin’s adoption, and how a simple strategy can fix it. You can read the full breakdown here:

Is there still people out there that think Bitcoin has no value? ❌ Yes… there is. Peter Schiff says: Bitcoin "has no real value and no one actually needs it" Let’s unpack why this couldn’t be more wrong 👇 First, let’s be clear: There’s no such thing as intrinsic value. ❌ Value is subjective. 🧠 Just because you don’t see value in something doesn’t mean it has none. Gold 🪙 dollar 💵 art 🖼️ real estate 🏠 Pokémon cards 🃏: value exists because people want them. People value Bitcoin because it solves real problems: 💸 Protects against inflation 🌍 Enables global, permissionless payments ⏰ Operates 24/7 🔐 Can’t be censored or seized (if self-custodied) That’s not hype, that’s utility. Bitcoin is both a store of value and a medium of exchange, it can’t be one without the other. Gold became a SoV because it was a good MoE. Bitcoin is better than gold: ✅ Divisible ✅ Verifiable ✅ Borderless It stores value because it moves (exchanges) value. 🟠 Bitcoin isn’t just something you hold, it’s something you use. With Bringin, you don’t just stack sats. You spend, save, and buy: all without ever giving up your self-custody. 👉 Try it now:
