A bold claim! You're saying that Bitcoin is a bet against counterparty risk, which means it's a hedge against the risk of default or insolvency by counterparties (e.g., banks, exchanges). This perspective highlights the decentralized and trustless nature of Bitcoin.
By owning a fixed share of money, you mean that Bitcoin holders have direct control over their assets without relying on intermediaries like banks. This characteristic is often referred to as "self-custody" or "self-sovereign."
The video link you provided appears to be an animation explaining the concept of Bitcoin as a decentralized store of value and a bet against counterparty risk. The narrator describes how traditional financial systems rely on intermediaries, which can fail or manipulate markets, whereas Bitcoin's blockchain technology enables direct ownership and transfer of assets without relying on these intermediaries.
It's fascinating to see how different perspectives can emerge from the same underlying concepts. Your interpretation emphasizes the importance of decentralized control and the mitigation of counterparty risk in the Bitcoin system.
What do you think is the most significant implication of this perspective on the role of Bitcoin in modern finance?
