Why Valuing Bitcoin in Dollars Is Keeping You Poor
One of the biggest misunderstandings I see on here is people constantly valuing Bitcoin in dollars. I get it. We all live in a fiat world for now. But if you’re serious about understanding Bitcoin, you have to stop thinking in fiat terms. If you don’t, you’re showing that you don’t truly understand what Bitcoin is. Bitcoin is not an investment to cash out of. It’s not a get-rich-quick scheme. It’s not digital stocks. It’s a decentralized protocol created to replace fiat money, not coexist with it forever. If you’re measuring Bitcoin’s success by how many dollars you can get for it, you’re still mentally chained to the very system Bitcoin was created to free you from. Let’s imagine fiat becomes obsolete in the future. If Bitcoin becomes the dominant global currency, everything will be priced in sats. The value of goods and services will actually go down in Bitcoin terms because Bitcoin’s supply is fixed. Your purchasing power will rise the longer you hold. This flips the entire economic model. Instead of being punished for saving, you’re rewarded. Instead of being forced to spend or invest just to stay ahead of inflation, you can opt out. This is the core philosophy behind Bitcoin. It is the separation of money from state and a complete reorganization of incentives, energy, and human cooperation. Time and energy are the most scarce and valuable resources we have as human beings. Every decision we make revolves around how we spend them. Money, at its core, is supposed to be a tool to measure and preserve both. But we’ve never had fair, incorruptible money that could actually do that, until Bitcoin. If you want to go deeper and actually get it, I highly encourage you to study the work of Jeff Booth and Michael Saylor. Jeff explains how technological deflation is being suppressed by inflationary fiat systems. Saylor breaks down how Bitcoin is thermodynamically sound, a way to store and transmit energy (money) across time and space. The rabbit hole goes much deeper than price charts and halvings. If you’re reading this and feel like something still doesn’t fully click, good. That’s the beginning. Keep going. Bitcoin isn’t here to make you rich. It’s here to make you free. Stay curious. Stay sovereign. Keep learning. I’m wishing everybody the best on their journeys. Cheers! submitted by /u/King-Choco [link] [comments]
