It's all just a game of markets, and the biggest markets tend to get orbited by the smaller ones.
Gold and Silver are big markets, they always have been. Government currencies grow by building on top of those markets, and start a slow death when they disconnect from them.
Before long Bitcoin will grow to be the biggest market, and it'll keep growing until it's the only market that really matters. Everything will be subservient to Bitcoin, every market, every government, every company and every person.
This is the future that's coming, it can be slowed in it's approach but it cannot be stopped. I welcome the future where everyone is able to function freely and fairly on the global base layer. In taking us out of the era of confusion, the era of clouded and corrupted signals of where to direct our energy where it's needed most, and bringing us into clarity Bitcoin is giving us all a truly universal language without needing interpreters. This means global unified, universal, clarity. Where signals are more visible then ever before, and nobody wants for any basic necessities ever again.
The authoritarians have had their time, now it's our turn.

Bitcoin is going to fix everything. Don't worry, keep calm and stack sats. Don't understand why? Study markets, money, and history. Start here: Bit.ly/StudyBitcoin
High time preference has only every cost me my peace. Don't gamble with your peace of mind. Be patient and accept that good things take time.
Priority #1: Bitcoin.
Stack it, code on it, build on it, teach it.
All problems are easily solved when more people are able to dedicate their time to solve them. Fixing the money, allows us time to fix the world.
I have a feeling we hit bottom.
Price is falling much more than expected, my take is the government shutdown made many stackers sell to cover bills while awaiting paychecks, combine that with everyone and their mother believing we're about to enter the next Bear market.
We're not going to enter another bear market, at least not yet. There's been no blowout top, no crazy climb to multiples of the current production cost, no slowdown in the growth of the mining network.
When this bear trap ends we're gonna see fireworks as everyones FUD switches to FOMO.
I rate this new 6 7 meme 5 out of 7.
Exactly how much value has the dollar lost since 1960? It's not just the value a unit of the dollar supply lost against a unit of the gold supply, it's worse:
Global above ground gold supply from 1960 to 2025 grew 2.8x, while the global human population grew 2.73x so the Gold network's Supply/Demand pressures are basically the same and the small change will be ignored.
Since 1960 you need 120x more dollar units to buy the same amount of gold ($35/oz vs $4200/oz), while the total dollar network has unfairly increased divisibility by only 74x. This means the entire dollar network combined can only purchase 61.7% of the volume of gold it could 65 years ago.
Further, in 1960 all Gold combined globally used to be valued about $86.6 Billion while all dollars in existence (M2) totalled about $300 Billion. So all dollars, when tied to gold, represented the value of 3.46x of all the gold in the world. Holy Fractional Reserve Banking Batman!
Today, no longer tied to gold, all dollars in existence (M2) are valued at $22,212 Billion while all gold is valued at $29,226 Billion. So the dollar network went from being valued at 3.46x (346%) all the gold in the world in 1960, to only 0.76x (76%) 65 years later, which is a 78% decrease in value relative to the rising global population and global gold supply.
So since all dollars combined have lost 78% of their relative market value, we can combine that with a 74x dollar unit supply increase. That supply increase itself lead to a 98.6% value loss of each individual dollar relative to the total dollar supply. Accounting for both, the total value lost relative to the global population and total gold supply per each individual dollar since their inflated 1960 high is... 99.7%.
It's no wonder the US economy is dying, it's holding onto a sinking ship.
Opt out of unfair supply debasement with Bitcoin. 21 Million. That's it. We can subdivide and change the names of units all we want, but the total supply will never be debased unfairly.
