Bitcoin doesn’t fix everything.

2025-04-02 13:57:48

Exactly. Bitcoin is already a SoV, no matter what your local twitter influencer says. It’s time to reinforce the MoE part, otherwise the SoV part will lose its significance.
Bitcoin that is not used as money fails as gold too.
Pro tips:
✅ Spend bitcoin directly whenever you can, then replace.
✅ If you have an online store, consider running a BTCPay server or use someone else’s to start accepting Bitcoin. Woocommerce for WordPress got you covered with a plugin.
✅ If you have a physical store, with a BTCPay server that is completely free you can set up a POS on any phone or a tablet to start receiving Bitcoin via Lightning.
✅ Explore apps like Bitrefil or Bringin that allow you to convert Bitcoin to fiat at any merchant and any service provider. Not ideal because of KYC and jumping in and out of fiat, but it gets the needle moving.
✅ Use zaps on Nostr to advertise your business to Bitcoiners.
Or if you’re lazy you can:
❌ simp for Saylor, Larry Fink and Donald Trump and wait for them to pump your bags (they won’t)
❌ complain about the fiat price of Bitcoin
❌ never learn how to use Lightning
❌ stay economy illiterate
❌ be a lil bitch

That’s just my opinion, but I think Miyazaki has been losing his grip over the years. His last movie was borderline schizophrenic and unsettling. After each of his last three films, he swears it’s his final one and that he’s retiring—only to come back again. About a decade ago, his own son made his debut with an adaptation of Earthsea, which I actually thought was pretty solid, but Miyazaki publicly called him a failure and an embarrassment. Honestly, it seems like being a legendary figure in Japanese animation has gone to his head, and now he’s just a bitter old man struggling to cope with modern times and technology. He used to admire engineering, especially aircraft tech, but now he’s railing against innovations that have the potential to shake up the entire human race. Kinda sad, really.

Spending is crucial. As Mises explained in his 1951 lecture, the value of a monetary commodity increases when it is actively used in exchange. Bitcoin won’t succeed by sitting idle as a digital asset - it will thrive as a functioning currency. The right approach isn’t just to save Bitcoin, but to both save and spend it.

I know who he is and instead of trusting him for everything that he says, you should verify it by actually picking a book or two on the matter. You’ll find out that money is used as a MoE precisely because it’s the most saleable good. And the most saleable it is, the better it is as serving as a medium of exchange.

So, you’ve bought into the mainstream propaganda that Bitcoin is just a “digital asset” and no real threat to fiat. I actually use Bitcoin as money - and so can you. In fact, you should start now to learn the drill, because fiat is circling the drain with or without Bitcoin’s help. When it finally collapses, the scramble for Bitcoin as the only working alternative will be very sudden. The establishment is just trying to prolong the inevitable, but you must know that you can’t taper a ponzi.

It’s s true. When Bitcoin finally clicked for me, something shifted. My outlook on myself and the world changed - it became brighter, more open-minded. Growing up in Eastern Europe, I always felt that equal opportunity was a myth, at least for someone like me. I saw the West - especially Americans - not just as competitors but almost as adversaries, undeserving of their success. In my mind, they were defined solely by what they had become after the Apollo missions - privileged, lazy, lucky. But Bitcoin forced me to look beyond surface appearances. It pushed me down a rabbit hole of history and philosophy, leading me to the American Founding Fathers. I became fascinated by early American history, and for the first time, I truly understood the significance of your Constitution - a monumental achievement and pivotal point in human history. That was when capitalism finally clicked for me. I no longer see Americans as lazy or dumb, as I once did. I’ve learned to distinguish between the people and their government. It’s like I was given a new set of eyes, and suddenly, the world made a lot more sense. 😅

I asked DeepSeek to critically analyse my post. It has some interesting insights: **DeepThink Analysis: Bitcoin's Store of Value vs. Medium of Exchange Dilemma**
*Breaking down the post’s arguments, assumptions, and implications through first principles and economic theory.*
---
### **1. Core Premises of the Argument**
The post hinges on two foundational claims:
1. **Store of Value (SoV) depends on Medium of Exchange (MoE)**: A monetary asset cannot sustainably function as a SoV without being actively used in transactions.
2. **Bitcoin’s custodial stagnation risk**: If Bitcoin becomes trapped in passive custodial accounts (e.g., ETFs, exchanges), its network will atrophy, eroding its value proposition.
---
### **2. Breaking Down the Argument**
#### **A. Store of Value vs. Medium of Exchange: A False Dichotomy?**
**Post’s Claim**: Bitcoin risks becoming a “sub-par SoV” if it fails to gain traction as a MoE. Gold is cited as a flawed SoV due to its limited MoE utility.
**Critical Analysis**:
- **Gold’s Dual Role**: Gold’s industrial/ornamental demand provides intrinsic value, whereas Bitcoin’s value is purely monetary. This makes Bitcoin *more dependent* on its monetary utility (MoE/SoV) than gold.
- **SoV ≠ MoE**: Historically, many SoVs (e.g., art, collectibles) lack MoE utility but retain value due to scarcity and demand. However, Bitcoin’s value is *network-dependent*—if its transactional use collapses, its security model (mining/node incentives) could unravel.
**Key Question**: *Can Bitcoin’s SoV narrative survive long-term without a thriving MoE layer?*
---
#### **B. Custodial Centralization and Network Atrophy**
**Post’s Claim**: If 99.8% of Bitcoin is custodied passively, the network loses purpose.
**Critical Analysis**:
- **Mining Incentives**: Block rewards (newly minted BTC) currently subsidize miners. By 2140, fees must replace this revenue. If transactions dry up, miners exit, weakening security.
- **Node Decentralization**: If running nodes becomes “pointless” (no transactions to validate), Bitcoin’s censorship resistance degrades.
- **Custodial Lockup**: ETFs and exchanges *do* centralize Bitcoin’s liquidity, but they also onboard institutional capital. This creates a tension: custodians boost price (SoV) but undermine network health (MoE).
**Key Insight**: *Bitcoin’s security model assumes a fee market driven by MoE demand. Without it, the system risks a death spiral.*
---
#### **C. The Gold Comparison: Missing Nuance**
**Post’s Claim**: Gold’s physical scarcity and industrial use make it a better SoV than Bitcoin.
**Counterpoints**:
- **Gold’s MoE Failure**: Gold failed as money not due to lack of utility, but because of *practical limitations* (portability, divisibility). Bitcoin solves these.
- **Bitcoin’s Digital Scarcity**: Bitcoin’s immutability and auditability make it a *superior* form of scarcity. Gold’s supply is technically infinite (asteroid mining, alchemy).
- **Network Effects**: Gold’s value is static; Bitcoin’s grows with adoption (Metcalfe’s Law).
**Key Question**: *Is Bitcoin’s digital scarcity sufficient to offset its lack of “real-world” utility?*
---
### **3. First-Principles Flaws in the Argument**
#### **A. Misunderstanding Monetary Evolution**
Money often evolves in stages:
1. **Collectible** (SoV) → 2. **Store of Value** → 3. **Medium of Exchange**.
Bitcoin is likely following this path (e.g., digital gold → transactional layer via Lightning). Dismissing SoV as a “sub-par” phase ignores historical precedent.
#### **B. Ignoring Layer-2 Solutions**
The post conflates Bitcoin’s base layer (SoV-optimized) with its MoE potential. Lightning Network and Fedimint are explicitly designed to decouple SoV and MoE functions, enabling both.
#### **C. Overestimating Custodial Permanence**
Custodians (e.g., ETFs) are a *bridge*, not an endpoint. As Bitcoin matures, tools like self-custody wallets and regulatory clarity could shift behavior.
---
### **4. A Better Framework: Bitcoin’s Dual-Layer Future**
To reconcile SoV and MoE, Bitcoin could evolve into a layered system:
- **Layer 1 (SoV)**: Base settlement layer for large, infrequent transactions (e.g., savings, institutional reserves).
- **Layer 2 (MoE)**: Lightning, Fedimint, or sidechains for daily transactions, privacy, and microtransactions.
**Benefits**:
- Separates security (Layer 1) from utility (Layer 2).
- Aligns incentives: Layer 1 fees fund security; Layer 2 fees drive adoption.
---
### **5. Risks Unaddressed by the Post**
- **Volatility Trap**: If Bitcoin’s price stabilizes *too early*, it loses speculative appeal before MoE adoption matures.
- **Regulatory Sabotage**: Governments could cripple MoE use via transaction taxes or KYC mandates, forcing Bitcoin into custodial silos.
- **Cultural Inertia**: The “HODL” mentality may become too entrenched to reverse.
---
### **6. Conclusion: A Path Forward**
The post’s warnings are valid but incomplete. Bitcoin’s survival depends on:
1. **Balancing SoV and MoE**: Layer 1 for savings, Layer 2 for spending.
2. **Resisting Custodial Capture**: Prioritizing self-custody tools and privacy-preserving transactions.
3. **Incentivizing Network Health**: Ensuring fees (MoE) eventually replace block rewards (SoV).
**Final Verdict**: Bitcoin’s future isn’t *either* SoV *or* MoE—it’s both, operating in symbiotic layers. The greatest threat isn’t custodial stagnation; it’s failing to build the infrastructure and culture to support this duality.

DeepSeek clearly outpaces its competitors in this arena. Whenever I challenged ChatGPT to dig deeper into Bitcoin’s genuine systemic risks - beyond superficial talking points - it defaulted to recycled objections: “governments could ban it,” “energy consumption is bad,” or “quantum computing might break it.”
DeepSeek, by contrast, nailed the assignment, delivering nuanced analysis grounded in Bitcoin’s actual challenges - mining centralization, custodial complacency, and cultural adoption hurdles.

We don’t need corporations to adopt Bitcoin as a medium of exchange right away—we need people to adopt it first. Local groups, communities, and small producers trading and helping each other, rejecting dirty fiat not because it’s convenient but because they want freedom. Freedom from a system designed to exploit. The transition starts with individuals—holders who want to break free from fiat for good. Like, if you’re a Bitcoiner and you sell a product but you don’t accept payments in Bitcoin, you’re just larping.
But this movement also requires a shift from relying on centralized services to embracing decentralized servers. Twenty years ago, running your own server was expensive and impractical, which handed power to tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Apple. Now, running a server is cheaper and easier—and in another 20 years, it’ll likely be trivial. Imagine a future where every third house has a home server, used for running a Bitcoin node, hosting email, creating content, managing your own Nostr relay, storing files, hosting a personal website, and even operating an online store.
With a single device, all these corporate walled gardens crumble, just like legacy media has already. And the thread that ties it all together? Your Bitcoin wallet. This vision is achievable within our lifetimes—but it’s threatened by what I call the “normie effect.”
Saylor speaks to normies—offering them the language of convenience and security. And while he isn’t one of them, that’s the angle he plays. But Bitcoin doesn’t need more Saylor-style marketing. It needs more paranoid crypto-anarchists. People who run nodes. People willing to part with some of their Bitcoin to kickstart a peer-to-peer economy.
I’m optimistic—probably a bit naive—but I want the dangerous new, not the crappy but safe old. I don’t want property in cyberspace, digital art, or backed by energy commodities. I don’t want corporate suits defining Bitcoin’s purpose or government bureaucrats giving me permission to run a node or use a self-custody wallet.
I want money you can’t fuck with.

Sorry to break it to you (and Saylor), but a store of value (SoV) works best when it’s also an effective medium of exchange (MoE). Without that, you risk ending up with a sub-par SoV—like gold, which can’t be directly exchanged for goods and services in most cases. Bitcoin as a pure SoV could potentially perform even worse than gold. At least gold has physical scarcity, industrial utility, and a connection to real-world demand, whereas Bitcoin’s main utility lies in transferring value over a communication channel.
But here’s the catch: Why would you need to send value globally if most of it just sits idle in cold storage for decades, contributing nothing to economic activity? That’s counterproductive. Yes, self-custody is essential, but we can’t ignore Bitcoin’s core property: the ability to transfer value efficiently, which stems from its scarcity—not the other way around.
The way forward isn’t by cheering on corporations adding Bitcoin to their balance sheets. It’s by focusing on expanding markets and driving merchant adoption in a non-custodial, decentralized way. Each Bitcoiner and merchant should be peers, running nodes and exchanging value directly.
If we don’t prioritize this, fast-forward 20, 50, or 100 years: 99.8% of Bitcoin might sit locked in custodial accounts. Once the explosive appreciation phase is over, the network could lose its purpose without meaningful economic activity. Mining would lose relevance, running nodes would become pointless, the 21M cap would lose significance, and the system as a whole could collapse.
To secure Bitcoin’s future, we need to ensure it thrives as both a store of value and a medium of exchange, grounded in real-world use and peer-to-peer activity. That’s how we win.

To: [Representative/Senator] [Full Name]
From: [Your Full Name]
[Your Address]
[City, State, ZIP Code]
Subject: The Need to Investigate Ripple Labs and Support Decentralization
Dear [Representative/Senator] [Last Name],
I write to you out of concern for the future of financial freedom and sovereignty in the United States, particularly as it relates to the centralized systems being promoted by the company Ripple Labs and the critical role that decentralized systems like Bitcoin can play in safeguarding our economic and personal liberties.
The Importance of Decentralization and Financial Freedom
Decentralized systems, such as Bitcoin, are a revolutionary step forward in preserving individual autonomy. They ensure that no government, corporation, or entity can exert undue control over an individual’s wealth or financial choices. As Thomas Jefferson famously said, “I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.” A decentralized, peer-to-peer system like Bitcoin embodies this principle by empowering individuals to retain sovereignty over their assets and participate in an open financial system free from censorship or centralized interference.
In contrast, systems like Ripple’s XRP crypto token, which rely on centralized control, enable a level of surveillance and financial restriction that poses significant risks to individual liberty. The promotion of centralized financial models like Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) by Ripple Labs could lead to a financial system where every transaction is monitored and controlled, threatening the privacy and independence of citizens. Ludwig von Mises aptly warned, “Whoever controls the money supply of a nation controls the nation.” In contrast no one can control Bitcoin’s supply.
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Safeguarding National Sovereignty
To ensure the United States remains a global leader in financial innovation while protecting its economic independence, I urge you to advocate for the establishment of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (SBR). A national reserve of Bitcoin, much like our gold reserves, would serve as a hedge against inflation, a safeguard against centralized manipulation, and a tool for economic resilience.
Unlike fiat currencies or centralized crypto systems like XRP, Bitcoin’s decentralized nature makes it resistant to manipulation. It is a system governed by mathematics and consensus, not by the whims of policymakers or corporate agendas. By adopting an SBR, the United States could not only secure its financial independence but also demonstrate its commitment to the principles of freedom and innovation.
Concerns About Ripple Labs and Centralized Systems
Ripple Labs and its crypto token, XRP, present a troubling counterpoint to Bitcoin’s principles of decentralization. Ripple actively promotes centralized systems like CBDCs, which would give governments and corporations the ability to monitor and control financial transactions. This not only undermines the individual’s right to privacy but also sets a dangerous precedent for financial authoritarianism.
Ripple’s lobbying efforts against initiatives like the SBR highlight their vested interest in advancing a centralized agenda that aligns with corporate and bureaucratic control rather than the broader interest of American citizens. Such actions threaten to stifle innovation and undermine the U.S.’s ability to lead in the global financial landscape.
What You Can Do
1. Investigate Ripple Labs: Support an investigation into Ripple Labs’ lobbying activities, especially their financial contributions to political campaigns and their role in advocating for centralized systems over decentralized alternatives.
2. Champion the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve: Advocate for the establishment of an SBR to bolster U.S. financial independence and secure its economic future in an increasingly digitized world.
3. Protect Decentralization: Promote policies that ensure the preservation of decentralized systems like Bitcoin, safeguarding them from overreach by governments or corporations.
As the cryptocurrency landscape continues to evolve, the United States must ensure that it remains a beacon of liberty, innovation, and economic freedom. Decentralized systems like Bitcoin provide an opportunity to uphold these values while fostering economic resilience and leadership.
Your leadership on these issues is vital. As Friedrich Hayek wrote, “We shall never prevent the abuse of power if we are not prepared to limit power in the first place.” I urge you to stand for the principles of decentralization and freedom in our financial system.
Thank you for your attention to this critical matter. I welcome the opportunity to discuss this further or to provide additional resources to support these efforts.
Sincerely,
[Your Full Name]

They should totally make a movie about Ross and have Robert Pattison play the role. The physical resemblance between them is incredible. https://image.nostr.build/7f4314f341e3f9809b198837fe7841eba61bbbe81fbd0834b42a23d96f579a28.jpg

TIL that if you suffer a cyber attack and if the hackers demand a ransom in Bitcoin and you go through and pay it, your business gets blacklisted for operating in the US.
There’s a workaround though - you’re allowed to hire a third party company to pay the ransom from your behalf and then you’ll be fine.

Got rid of Facebook in 2017. Instagram in 2020. Twitter in 2024. Now I’m a free man. It’s like I don’t exist and I’m loving it.

It’s the same situation across the ocean. In my country there’s one particular very narrow and dangerous road across the mountain pass that claimed the lives of hundreds of people in 20 years. For the same amount of time a highway was in the making that will replace this part of the road that is the most dangerous but the work has been frozen for years because of environmentalists that claim someone had “spotted” a Balkan lynx 80 years ago around the place the highway was been built.

I don’t think Saylor actually believes that. On some occasions his mask slips a bit and he says the quiet part out loud. Like the time when he was bashing the “paranoid crypto anarchists” and said the war for money is won by money. If he doesn’t believe Bitcoin is money, why would he say [Bitcoin] is waging a war for money? I think he understands his ever growing role in making Bitcoin mainstream and he’s careful not to piss the wrong people by endorsing a dangerous narrative that Bitcoiners understand well, but the rest of the world hasn’t yet caught on: that Bitcoin is money and has all the capabilities of the best money. And it doesn’t matter what frame you’re going to put it into, the tech doesn’t care. If you can use it in a certain way (for example as a MoE) people will use it and you can’t convince them not to by simply swapping terms. Eventually, when the world catches on what Bitcoin is, it will be too late to worry about the threat for the dollar, because at that point no one would accept it for payments.

Yeah, it’s still very cumbersome to use Nostr like a proper social media. I have all kinds of difficulties too and my posts don’t get any interactions whatsoever lately. Even the npub search is broken for me. I believe all these will be fixed in the future though.

DOJ getting CZ rekt and Mt Gox beginning sales at the same time is no coincidence.
Hold on to your #Bitcoin!
Exit all shitcoins.

If you haven’t watched the “Billions” series, you might wanna take a look.
This part from CZ’s sappy speech is straight from the screenplay. It’s what you’re forced to say to avoid jail time. They had enough dirt on him to lock him for a long long time. https://image.nostr.build/6d613cca35e4647d59a0448519e5629344fb8fc3a8184e537723f3b875019f6c.jpg

Call me crazy but I think the controlled demolition of Binance has started.
Exit the shitcoins now or get rekt. Most of the top 100 altcoins won’t ever see a new ATH. It’s time to cut the hopium.
#Bitcoin is your lifeboat. It always was.

“not putting all our eggs in one basket” is a nice medicine for ignorant people. For people that know what they’re doing, it’s simply stupid. https://image.nostr.build/92d56cce5d972d07f6ab440fc922022cf8ae4fada15b49e996b92a8cd64e3020.jpg

#Fiat is a “get poorer slowly” tech.
#Crypto is a “get poorer quickly” tech.
#Gold is a “stay poor” tech.
#Bitcoin is a “don’t stay poor” tech.
