Wrote this to Peter Schiff on Twitter/X and wanted to repost it here too. I have never heard him give a good explanation for a lot of this!!
——
@PeterSchiff what is money? It should be something that is agreed upon as a medium of exchange but otherwise should not have much utility other than its ability to coordinate trading of goods and services.
Other than being backed by the US government, dollars have minimal value. Maybe you could burn them for heat, but otherwise the value of the dollar (prior to convertible back to gold) is strictly related to their ability to allow trade between parties with disparate products, i.e., the problem where I have eggs and want your apples but you don’t want my eggs. We need to find a good that both of us want in order to facilitate trade. The dollar works because for a long time most of the world wanted dollars. It has a strong network and functions as one of the best currencies.
That’s what Bitcoin provides…the strong network that gold never had. Lack of a decentralized network that could not be manipulated is one of the reasons why it failed as a money.
The dollar could survive in the long run but only if it is provably backed by a fixed amount of bitcoin.
Money should be durable, portable, fungible, verifiable, divisible, scarce, have an established history, and be censorship-resistant.
Gold checks a few of these but bitcoin checks them all. (Well, maybe not established history when you compare golds thousands of years of store of value versus bitcoin’s less than two decades!)
You know what money is. How can you not say that bitcoin is money especially given that Block will be supporting bitcoins on its Square terminals? Suddenly the utility of bitcoin skyrockets while gold remains a shiny rock.
Yes, gold can be “tokenized,” but good luck getting that token to be accepted anywhere. I have never heard you explain how a third-party verifying the authenticity of the gold token is any different that the current fiat system.
The Bitcoin network does not rely on any third-party for verification. Heck, even trading gold coins has its risks of an unknown quantity of real gold.
The gold network requires trust. Trust of the individual handing me a gold coin or trust of the institution authenticating the gold as real.
Bitcoin solves the reason why gold is an inferior money.

My brother is hesitant to buy any himself too. But, if he buys a gift for our parents then he is okay to split the price with me and I pay him my share in bitcoin. So that is the only amount he has bought.
He feels that for an economy to function there has to be a little bit of inflation. Are to convince otherwise. I just think he sounds like a closet hardcore Keynesian!

Nothing stopping you from doing it yourself since with Unchained you hold 2 out of the 3 keys. If you transfer out, they alert the IRS, but if done in retirement then there would be no penalty.

I’ve been all in thanks to the @nprofile…e9k5 bill pay and it has been working out great. I no longer have to worry about keeping fiat for bills and can have it all in bitcoin.
If there are taxes, then that means I came out ahead. However, removing taxes on bitcoin would be incredible and it will happen at some point in the future.

It does seem that each cycle has its bitcoin related financial instrument. Hopefully the introduction of loans doesn’t signal the peak of the bull market! Although in a way it would be nice because it would let me stack more than if it reaches new highs!

2025-04-23 05:30:35

- reply

As far as custody, you are probably right. I think I might get to hold one of the keys but if I stop payments, the bitcoin is gone. Still better than losing Bitcoin for sure if selling to get cash for down payment .

2025-04-23 05:29:35

- reply

It is guaranteed lost if I go with the traditional bank and need to sell it. In fact, the back laughed at me when I showed them a screenshot of some of my bitcoin when they needed to verify funds. I said that this was it. And they said that they can’t count it until it is in a bank account as dollars.
Going with a bitcoin backed mortgage would at least keep the bitcoin as bitcoin.
The idea being that as bitcoin goes up substantially in value you could decide at that point to sell off a smaller portion to pay off the mortgage or keep paying the interest rates that should continue to go down as the collateral value increases over time. Kind of like an adjustable rate mortgage but where interest rates drop as the collateral value increases.
At least that’s my understanding.
I’m only willing to play the fiat game because that is the game we’ve been handed. I might as well use their corrupt system to my advantage since it is their system that caused the cost of home construction to go up so much in the first place.

I’m excited to see what mortgage products People’s Reserve (https://www.peoplesreserve.com) offers. Supposedly rates here will be closer to what banks offer since it is a mortgage product but then you can add more bitcoin collateral to reduce interest rate too

2025-04-22 07:09:28

- reply

Yeah, unfortunately, it seems like a lot of the world is experiencing the same thing! I truly think that a lot of these problems are the long term consequences of a lack of a sound money.
I got into bitcoin initially for the NGU technology (like many of us do) to increase fiat wealth, but stuck around for the sound economics that it exposes. The more I learn, the more I realize that the world will be much better off with a money that is immune from government printing and manipulation.
Maybe we can return the world to what it should be. Where our time isn’t stolen from us and where things are affordable once again.
