Could be suddenly, and still be OK…
The turnover for NYC bodegas, delis, pubs is par-for-the course in NYC. If the building and the location are solid, the old one closes and a new one opens; minimal loss of capital. Same with well built buildings/homes/offices. They can be repriced and change owners with modest net loss. There are definitely winners and losers; but I’m generally good - can still grab a pint, bagel, rent a flat.
When/if the purchasing power of the dollar rapidly falls (say months/years) and *everything* gets repriced; could the same be true? Well made stuff gets repriced and purchased by those who have enough Bitcoin.
Seems like other historic fiat hyper-inflation events have not necessarily been “society ending” as long as there’s an alternative better money in play. They have just jumped to USD.
Difference will be they will just jump to bitcoin.
Same dude pours my pint. I pay is sats to a different owner. Life goes on.

Self custody will help you understand how to interact with the network. It’s worth the time.
MUUN->CC+Sparrow-> watch with Blue Wallet
MUUN Wallet has decent trade-offs for those hesitant about self custody. 2/2 multisig with MUUN holding one key and *your phone* holding 2nd. You can access both keys & move coins without MUUN using a code. You can also recover a key from MUUN via email sign up - opt in, not required.
Here is a path:
✅ set up MUUN + backup
✅ self custody a modest amt of coin with MUUN and practice back-up
✅ in low fee times practice sending and receiving - Cashapp has zero fee withdrawals
✅ buy a Coldcard + Sparrow desktop wallet
✅ create + back-up a master seed: read/learn about entropy with respect to seeds
✅ practice when fees are low sending / spending to CC & MUUN back and forth
✅ set up Blue watch Wallet using your xpub
✅ wean off of MUUN
✅ deposit directly to your CC cold storage via Blue Wallet receive addresses
✅ Done
This path will force you to learn how to interact with the network in a gradual track - as your skills/confidence increase you will be more comfortable with large amounts.
Go slow, but get started.

If more companies just APE into the *BTC treasury strategy* and stop making stuff (including bitcoin mining companies)…..then there’s no stuff, right?
Especially if they’re borrowing money to stack instead of creating something of value + saving their profits in corn. Everyone just stays home and gets on occasional zoom meeting to secure another loan, really?
Is MSTR a *risk free* financial instrument that is better than owning the real thing, really?

“Ironic if we end up having to choose between economic liberty and conservation.
Unfortunately, proof of work is the only solution I've found to make p2p e-cash work without a trusted third party. Even if I wasn't using it secondarily as a way to allocate the initial
distribution of currency, PoW is fundamental to coordinating the
network and preventing double-spending.
If it did grow to consume significant energy, I think it would still be less wasteful than the labour and resource intensive
conventional banking activity it would replace. The cost would be
an order of magnitude less than the billions in banking fees that pay for all those brick and mortar buildings, skyscrapers and junk mail credit card offers.”

Code is speech. But code that transmits value is money. Bitcoin is reified information. This is novel.
Fighting exclusively on the *code is speech* front alone will not suffice. When facing jail time or personal ruin, individual devs or CEOs will bend the knee. Julian Assange is a rare outlier. Even the most dedicated, will look out for themselves when push to the edge.
Bitcoin is money. Full stop. Separating money from state is the movement.
The fight has to be about money.
IMHO the best strategy will be to orange pill as many politicians as we can - as individual US citizens - and push for legal tender.
Same logic: when politicians own personal wealth and well-being is on the line they will choose themselves over others. None of them are loyal enough to protect the US dollar to the end. We need to leverage the selfishness in all of us to win.

Private Public key cryptography.
I barely understand it.
Check out learnmeabitcoin
“In short, the unique s value provides a pathway for getting to the randomly-generated point r.
You can give these two pieces of information to someone else, and starting from the public key point Q they can use the s value to help them get to the random point r. The trick here is that only the person with the corresponding private key d could create a valid pathway to this random point provided by s.
This pathway also has the message hash z encoded in to it, which is what effectively allows us to create signatures for messages; nobody can create the pathways from the public key to a random point on the curve via the message hash without knowing the private key it was created from.”
