“Bitcoin was not built for any one reason. It had a number of different properties, without knowing which, if any would take off.
Of all of them, the SoV use case, was perhaps the most unlikely. But it ended up being the one that caught people's imaginations. Nobody knew at $7 that it would go to $70,000, but that's what happened.”

Ideally, present Bitcoin to both and whoever is receptive will take to it.
In practice, I’d present it to rich people because poor people generally follow, respect, and take advice from the rich and not vice versa.

I suppose from a central banker’s POV, the benefits of inflation are more widely spread as compared to the concentrated gains made by those early to Bitcoin.
e.g. if inflation is at 2% but my pay rise is at 5% then I’m ok. And for those who can’t secure pay rises above inflation then the government’s increased tax haul linked to inflation (fiscal drag, greater receipts from sales taxes) helps fund support from social welfare programmes.

“The researchers call their new method Linear-Complexity Multiplication—it works by approximating FPMs using integer addition. They claim that testing, thus far, has shown that the new approach reduces electricity demand by 95%.
The one drawback it has is that it requires different hardware than that currently in use. But the research team also notes that the new type of hardware has already been designed, built and tested.
How such hardware would be licensed, however, is still unclear—currently, GPU maker Nvidia dominates the AI hardware market. How they respond to this new technology could have a major impact on the pace at which it is adopted—if the company's claims are verified.”

“…not everyone is able to go all in on bitcoin at a moment’s notice. Most of us still have our hands tied in the fiat world to some extent with our bills, salaries, and other financial commitments. But the more that you park your money, your flag, your stake in the Bitcoin nation state, the more you reap the benefits of it.”

“It's hard not to follow the incentives, and there are incentives to short fiat.
To not follow the incentives you'd have to break your mind and become what the communists wanted people to become, an incentive non-following creature. Such a creature would end up taken advantage of, enslaved, abused and poor.
Shorting fiat also involves liquidation risk, so you're paying a price for it in the risk and the higher your leverage, the greater the risk.
Perhaps the idea that borrowing fiat to buy bitcoin is unethical is a psyop sowed by the powers that be to keep us from stacking more? Just a thought.
I tend to view it as a game. The goal is to maximize your score, which is the amount of sats stacked. If you don't play it well, others will and you'll be their victim.”
