With the advent of Bitcoin, the world's premier digital currency, for the first time in history money is no longer controlled by banks or governments, but by the people who use it. Bitcoin: Beyond The Bubble (2018) Director: Tim Delmastro Writer: Tim Delmastro Stars: Jeff Berwick, Catherine Austin Fitts, Trace Mayer Genre: Documentary | Short Country: Australia Language: English Release Date: 1 May 2018 (Australia) Storyline: What is Bitcoin? With the advent of Bitcoin, the world's premier digital currency, for the first time in history money is no longer controlled by banks or governments, but by the people who use it. But where did this currency come from? How does it work? And is it truly the way forward, or just a flash in the pan?

Money is simply a tool that humans use to move value across space and time. Fiat currencies were clearly designed to be spent. Wanting to save the fruits of your labor with a fiat currency is totally foolish. https://medium.com/in-bitcoin-we-trust/optimized-for-moving-value-across-space-and-time-bitcoin-fixes-the-flaws-of-gold-and-fiat-3a637ef66e51?sk=d942de190ffed45ba8f5d3dfd601c79a

Ex-Canadian PM Stephen Harper has said that Bitcoin could be used as a part of a basket of reserve alternatives to the US dollar. He added that central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, were “inevitable” to some degree at one point, but it would still be subject to various monetary policies. He also expressed his concerns regarding central banks becoming “kind of a general banker” rather than just a financial monitor. https://thedailychain.com/ex-canadian-prime-ministers-says-bitcoin-could-be-a-reserve-currency/

The Winklevoss twins’ thesis is simple. For them, Bitcoin is gold 2.0 that will eventually disrupt gold: “Our thesis is that Bitcoin is gold 2.0 and it will disrupt gold.” Based on this observation, the Winklevoss twins believe that Bitcoin will reach the gold market cap in the next decade. The gold market cap is currently $9T. The advantage of Bitcoin is that its monetary policy is programmatic. Everything is predictable. We can therefore estimate fairly accurately the number of Bitcoins that will be in circulation in 2030. This number will then be 20 million BTC. If Bitcoin has a market cap of $9T in 2030, the price of Bitcoin will be $450K. Over the next decade, the great monetary inflation we are currently experiencing will continue to intensify. Under these conditions, the U.S. dollar will continue to weaken, which will boost the price of gold, but also the Bitcoin price. Under these conditions, the Bitcoin price could be closer to $500K than $450K with a market cap similar to that of gold in 2020. The reasoning of the Winklevoss twins is the same reasoning that many Bitcoiners do as well. It is based on three major elements: The law of supply and demand. The gold market cap. The endless inflation of the U.S. dollar. With its current price of $18K, Bitcoin has enough to offer a 25x gain to all those who will choose to buy it before becoming HODLers.

It is interesting to see so many different people around the world from different nations going in on this.

"The lines say we might go up to 1 trillion or down 0, no financial advice though."fast forward 1 day: price went up or down"See? I told you guys!" Now it is official: if it goes up, we will see higher prices. I know for certain we’ll hit 10,900 so there’s a good chance we’ll pass 10,800 along the way. But no guarantees. You can also take a loan.. A second mortgage on the house. Or sell some organs.... Or sell some of your grandmothers organs.... she won’t need those kidneys soon anyways and you could have some precious BTC Sell futures to your own organs and buy them back with the appreciated bitcoins after they've goon up! Don’t forget to ask relatives for money. Tell them you are in danger of losing your house. Once they give you money, immediately take the whole chunk of money and market buy Bitcoin. My long lost Nigerian cousin who is a prince told me something similar. Except he needed it to buy his village back. I'm still waiting for him to tell me everything is okay. ☺️ I just sold, so this might be going moonward, boys.

"The reason it's so hard for most people to understand is that most people don't really understand money. Money isn't wealth. It's an accounting system used to facilitate the exchange of wealth. (The paradox of money is that while everyone wants it, no one actually wants it - they want the stuff they can buy with it!) Many people are put off by the fact that Bitcoins are 'just data'. But that's what ALL money is, information! More precisely, money is a means for credibly conveying information about value given but not yet received (or at least not yet received in a form in which it can directly satisfy a person's wants or needs). To put it yet another way, money is a ledger. With fiat currencies like the dollar, that ledger is centralized. And that gives the central authority responsible for maintaining that ledger tremendous power, power that history has proven will inevitably be abused. With Bitcoin, the ledger is decentralized. And that means that no one individual or entity has the power to arbitrarily create new units (thereby causing inflation), freeze (or seize) your account, or block a particular payment from being processed. We've had decentralized money before. After all, no one can simply print new gold into existence. And the 'ledger' of gold is distributed because the physical gold itself (the 'accounting entries' in the metaphor) is distributed. But with gold, that decentralization comes at a heavy price (literally). The physical nature of gold makes it hugely inefficient for global transactions. And this is why bitcoin is important! It is the first currency in the world that is both decentralized and digital. It is more reliably scarce than gold and more private and transactionally efficient than "modern" digital banking. This is why people are excited about bitcoin, it has the potential to completely revolutionize money." I thought I'd share it with you. Have a good Sunday everybody!

https://coinfomania.com/late-hal-finney-predicted-10-million-per-btc/ After congratulating Satoshi on the launch of the Bitcoin 0.1, Hal Finney wrote as part of what he termed an ‘amusing thought experiment,’ Putting numbers into perspective, Hal Finney added, " Either way, the now-deceased genius programmer although at that point saw Bitcoin’s potential, may not have believed it would reach its current level of success for he also said in that email that the chance of Bitcoin succeeding was ‘very slim.’ "

The law of supply and demand is an economic model used to determine the price of an asset in a market. This law of supply and demand will therefore lead to an economic equilibrium for the price of an asset as well as the volume of trade. An existing asset in limited quantity for which demand would be strong would necessarily see its price increase if we stick to this law. Indeed, strong demand from buyers would allow sellers to sell at a higher price.

A lot of monkeys lived near a village. One day a merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys! He announced that he will buy the monkeys @ $100 each. The villagers thought that this man is mad. They thought how can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each? Still, some people caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey. This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold it to the merchant. After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys @ 200 each. The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys! They sold the remaining monkeys @ 200 each. Then the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys @ 500 each! The villagers start to lose sleep! ... They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got 500 each. The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement. Then the merchant announced that he is going home for a week. And when he returns, he will buy monkeys @ 1000 each! He asked his employee to take care of the monkeys he bought. He was alone taking care of all the monkeys in a cage. The merchant went home. The villagers were very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell it at $1000 each.☹ Then the employee told them that he will sell some monkeys @ 700 each secretly. This news spread like fire. Since the merchant buys monkey @ 1000 each, there is a 300 profit for each monkey. The next day, villagers made a queue near the monkey cage. The employee sold all the monkeys at 700 each. The rich bought monkeys in big lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and also bought monkeys! The villagers took care of their monkeys & waited for the merchant to return. But nobody came! ... Then they ran to the employee.. But he has already left too ! The villagers then realised that they have bought the useless stray monkeys @ 700 each and unable to sell them! The Bitcoin will be the next monkey business It will make a lot of people bankrupt and a few people filthy rich in this monkey business. That' how it will work! This forward just makes so much sense. What's important is, if you're investing you need to know when to quit. - Do you agree?
