Imagine bitcoin kept roughly the same purchasing power for the next 20 years, but never made you richer.
No moon. No 100x. No “we’re still early.” Just fixed-supply money you could hold and send without asking anyone’s permission.
Would that still be enough?
I think this question separates wanting bitcoin from simply wanting its price to go up. I’m still being honest with myself about which one brought me here.
No, of course not. Then its purpose and dream as global freedom money is dead... not widely used, not enriching the right people, it spreading freedom far and wide
If the purchasing power settles here and it just serves as something like our Galt's Gulch currency, I could live with that.
You might be right on the money here. Even if it never becomes the global reserve currency, simply functioning as an unconfiscatable safe haven for those who value it is huge. Makes me look at the whole question from a much better angle.
That’s a tough pill to swallow, but maybe that's the reality. Does sound money actually need the promise of getting rich to win people over? If greed is the only engine driving adoption, it really makes me wonder what we’re actually building here.
1 sat= 1sat
But what if that changed?
Then we’d have a much bigger problem. One sat will always equal one sat the real question is what that sat can buy.
Maybe it will. 1 sat may soon equal 1 sat and 1 Lukesat.
Hard forks and dev drama come and go, but if the price never moons and it's just neutral money, would I still care as much as I think I do? That's just one of the many questions I have in mind. Still trying to figure it all out.
1 Venezuelan Bolivar = 1 Venezuelan Bolivar
Mind blown.
