The fee market today sucks! The fee market in the future will suck more. In the future you likely won’t ever touch the bitcoin base layer
Something like Visa will act as another layer 2 for bitcoin. Lightning will also exist and be dominant, but won’t be the only option.

2023-05-10 11:34:19

It sucks that transaction fees are so high… but thank goodness fees are so high!!! Bitcoin block space is a commodity!
This will strengthen the base layer and layer 2s! You can’t stop ordinals or inscriptions, they are a waste of space, but this too will fall by the wayside like Satoshi dice. But unfortunately this will probably fade away because fees will be higher in the future

#Bitcoin is THE intermediate good that is extrinsically valuable = pure economic energy

2023-05-05 21:04:20

Money is the Intermediate good. Ideally money has no alternative uses or value outside of its extrinsic value as an intermediate good. It is difficult to ascertain how much value is being attributed to the store of value aspects of Gold as opposed to the demand for its alternative uses. #Bitcoin is a more pure intermediate good.

2023-05-05 18:08:49

Money is an intermediate good, it is not the thing that is actually desired. People want money because it will desire fulfill present and future wants that they may or may not have today.

2023-05-05 10:58:14

Money should not be inflationary or deflationary. Both can create bd side effects. Money should be neutral in its number of units.

2023-05-05 10:35:36

When #bitcoin is mentioned to those not familiar with bitcoin. They only think of a price on a chart because that is what most people are used to. Trading prices of tickers representing companies that have no profit.
There is no though of mining, the node network, the alien technology

Learning a foreign language in the future may still be valuable. People will still want to connect and communicate in their own language without the hassle of a real time language translation. The lag in the conversation introducing friction.
And if it’s not socially valuable, it at least provides brain benefits

2023-05-05 01:55:48

We all screw up and go on the bitcoin horseshoe… unfortunately many newbies will fall into that same trap this next bull market… unfortunately I do not think shitcoins are done 😒

2023-05-04 23:19:12

Real money is extrinsically valuable. Gold has some intrinsic value in its industrial utility and metallic properties, but its monetary premium arises from extrinsic valuation of the markets demand for a store of value…
#bitcoin is perfectly extrinsically valuable

2023-05-04 23:16:17

I love when people say #bitcoin has no intrinsic value… I’m like ya, that’s kinda the point… Bitcoin is pure extrinsic value reflecting the value the market places on every other good

2023-05-04 19:38:09

Easy… the printing they are doing now is peanuts to the dollar destruction (deflation) on the horizon
This is going to create a massive credit crunch that will destroy credit dollars and create a massive reservation demand for US dollars to pay back other USD denominated debts (USD shorts)… magic… inflation disappears
What the fed doesn’t understand, is the deflation tidal wave coming that will bankrupt the system… they won’t let the system go bankrupt so they will print like mad! This is a similar cycle of excesses that stock markets and the Bitcoin market experiences…
So in the long run you are right! This does not fix inflation!

If by different you mean the same, then I agree!
Game theory, psychology, and the issuance epoch encourage a price trend that will be similar to the past 3 cycles

2023-05-03 17:40:04

#bitcoin is the only storehouse of wealth that does not leak purchasing power to third parties
If you sold bitcoin where would you put your money in order to protect your purchasing power
Stocks? You have to have a masters in finance/accounting and a CFA to properly value some of these companies + there is risk with company obsolescence, competition, and potential for poor management
Bond? These contracts will almost certainly underperform inflation unless… you have a masters in finance/accounting and CFA buying distressed corporate debt that is much more risky. So you also need a fair amount of luck
Cash? Heck no, guaranteed to lose money
Real Estate? Maybe could work, but you after calculating your rate of return after property taxes, insurance, repairs, other upkeep, the returns may not be that great. And what if the government takes your land for highways or other projects. What if you have squatters on your land/property. And the government taxes you on any gains, whipping out any remaining positive return… plus it’s illiquid
Gold? It would work to an extent, but where do you store it, what is the cost, how do you sell a million dollars worth of gold? How do you transport it? What is the disposition cost? Where will you find buyers?
After thinking through all the options there is no alternative that reliably protects value without massive trade offs in liquidity and other risks. In order to save money successfully without Bitcoin you need to have a masters in accounting and Finance, have CFA and then maybe you have a chance of coming out of par with monetary inflation!

2023-05-03 10:42:20

Peter Schiff argues that governments will back their toilet paper money with Gold and this will be a potential solution to our problem… it didn’t work in the past, it won’t work in the future…
In todays Digital age we can cooperate with society on a larger scale with LESS government interaction, something that wasn’t possible in the past.
People will opt to corridinate with those they can trust, not governments… #bitcoin wins

LISTENING TO AN AUDIO BOOK STILL COUNTS AS READING A BOOK:

All that to say, I can get more words in my head over time faster and more efficiently then sitting down to read a book

Great response. The church has certainly failed at governance on numerous occasions, especially pre-Reformation. My hope in my post above was that whatever government structure we choose to embrace in the future embodies some of aspects of post-Reformation church polity.
Some estimates now suggest there are as many as 45,000 Christian denominations at present. Freedom of association is the freedom I would love future governments to embody. This would result in a splintering of governments down to the most management level, while providing for larger governments (like the Catholic Church is for larger churches) for those that want them.

2023-05-01 16:04:48

Why church polity structures may be a better architecture for future governments sans the religious focus:
Another benefit of church polity is a heavy focus on local governance with locally elected leaders by friends and family. These elect then participate with the parishes that make up the larger church polity. And if things become too bureaucratic or restrictive, individual churches can severe themselves from corrupt bodies, join other denominations, start their own. This is ultimately true all the way down the religious political stack. Denominations can fragment, individual perishes can break off, individual churches can realign, and individuals can leave the church
There is a social cost at each level which encourages cooperation and compromise, but every segment of church polity has ultimate freedom of affiliation. It’s not a perfect solution for future governments but it’s not a bad starting point.

2023-04-30 23:08:58

Governments will hopefully look more like that of church polity and denominations in a couple decades…
Don’t like the structure of government or way things are being done… leave the denomination or start a new denomination
There is a social cost for leaving that encourages compromise but provides a nuclear option

2023-04-29 23:53:33

This is my bearish price prediction
At the most basic calculation bitcoin could be worth at least 6M
$30,000/0.5% adoption = 6M
But this is far too simplistic, it doesn’t account for the marginal price of available bitcoin for sale. Bitcoin at 6M results in very little liquid supply coming available, meaning the price would likely be much higher

2023-04-29 23:49:03

If we assume normal historical inflation over the last 40 years (roughly 2.9%), the USD will lose half its value in 25 years. USD is a bad store of value and people will figure that out given enough time

2023-04-29 23:47:26

In 25 years after adjusting for inflation (avg 2.94%/year) and taking into account that only 28 bitcoin will be issued a day. If daily bitcoin USD buying volume is ~$30,000,000 (inflation adjusted ~$60,000,000), Bitcoin price will be close to 4M after inflation (in todays dollars closer to 1.8-2M per coin). All that to say bitcoin price targets of 1,000,000 are bearish. The above calculations assume 0 increased adoption… if you account for additional adoption, it would be dozens of millions per coin! Hold on to your sats… they might be worth something someday

#bitcoin is price is determined by the marginal liquid bitcoin available…
Every 4 years #bitcoin requires less buying power at a given price to keep the price stable. In this epoch of 900 Bitcoin/day that is rounghly 20 Million USD a day in selling power just from mining at around $22,000 per Bitcoin. (There are other sources of selling, but that is primarily high time preference selling). Next epoch, it’ll only be 10 Million USD a day, and that’s in a future where there will be even more dollars. Fast forward 4 more epochs, that buying power would be around 300,000 USD a day to keep BTC price at $22,000. yes that’s 25 years away. But it’s in a world of a couple quadrillion more dollars, continued increases in Bitcoin adoption and education. Bitcoin may not have bottomed this cycle, but if you have diamond hands and can suffer the Volatility, 25 years from now 1 million per Bitcoin is a bearish prediction. 25 years from now, 30 Bitcoin per day will be mined. At a 1M Bitcoin price that is selling pressure of 30Million USD a day, pretty close to where we are today (with no additional adoption).
Anyone who thinks Bitcoin is going to $0 or even that Bitcoin has hit its last all time high, have no understanding of Bitcoin supply changes and the built in incentive to #hodl

#bitcoin is the first adoption curve technology that has a corresponding price attached to it… prepare for face ripping price action
The adoption curve refers to users, not price. We will see an exponential adoption of users over the next 10-20 years. Exponential increase in user adoption = exponentially exponential growth of BTC price
Market cap of BTC will rip way past what people expect.

2023-04-27 02:03:59

The internet is still not at 100% adoption yet it touches everyone’s lives! #Bitcoin doesn’t have to reach 100% to be deeply integrated into the economy. It take 5-10% and then every 10-20 people you talk with owns bitcoin, at that point it’s a no brained to add bitcoin as payment methods

Increasing global dollar debt increases total demand for US dollars short to medium term and at the same times makes the system more fragile over the long term (increases in inflation and probability of deflationary collapse)

2023-04-20 13:12:46

Increasing nominal Global dollar debt both makes the US Dollar so much stronger and so much weaker
More debt creates short term inflation… increases reserve demand for US dollar… higher debt loads increase the likelihood of deflation global debt collapse… the Federal Reserve prints money to recapitalize system… this locks in the short term inflation created when the debt was created and saves the system from deflation… the cycle then restarts

I do not believe Central bankers are knowingly malicious. They are central planning apologists defending a system that they actually believe helps more people then it hurts. They are very likely wrong and central banking cause far more harm than good, but that doesn’t change the fact that they believe this so fervently.
It makes sense that a central planning institution that believes whole heartedly in its mission would attract those of like mind. It is very unlikely that an individual who knows the harm central banking causes would continue to work in that arena. So what you’re left with is a group of staunch hard headed people who believe they are doing what is best for the greater good, despite accomplishing the opposite.

2023-04-13 19:44:24

To me it doesn’t seem central banking was an intentionally malicious creation. It seems like one small lie after another intertwined with human ingenuity to prop up a system doomed to fail.

After massive credit creation in the economy comes one of two things:
1. Continued expansion of credit creation backstopped by government liquidity
2. A deflationary collapse as violent as the credit creation
Credit is temporary money, it is up to the monetary issuer whether or not that becomes more permanent money through money creation

2023-04-13 11:33:25

MMT proponents don’t disagree that monetary expansion can create inflation, they just have the hubris to claim they can “control” the inflation with monetary and fiscal tools like interest rates, taxes, repo, and other govt interventions.

2023-04-13 10:56:04

What came first excessive leverage in the economy or government stimulus. It’s a chicken an egg problem.
Either way the governments willingness to provide liquidity to overly levered businesses creates a situation of morale hazard!

2023-04-13 10:53:53

Modern economists and MMT proponents all agree on adding more money/liquidity to the system, they just disagree on the tools to use to make sure people don’t spend the money into the economy.
Creating money -> deleverages economy -> companies, gov and people can now meet their debt service -> as long as no one spends it -> inflation doesn’t go up a lot
