“Just hold Bitcoin.” Yeah? Tell that to someone whose bank just froze their account. Preserving wealth matters. But here’s where I disagree: Bitcoin isn’t just a store of value. It’s money. And in the Global South, that’s not a theory. It’s reality. People are escaping capital controls. Sending remittances without banks taking a cut. Transacting daily, not waiting for the perfect exit price. The West debates narratives. The Global South lives them. Some say Bitcoin is only for the long-term. Ask someone who’s had their savings locked overnight if they agree. Ask someone who’s been cut off from their own money if they see #Bitcoin as a “store of value” alone. They don’t just hold it. They use it. Because for the first time in history, we have a monetary asset that’s also a payment network. Would be a shame not to use it to its full extent. Try convincing me otherwise.
