Bitcoin Changes You

Bitcoin isn't just about profits—it's a wake-up call to broken incentives and the need for change.

We have a saying in Bitcoin, “Come for the ‘number go up,’ stay for the revolution.”

Indeed, Bitcoin’s enormous increase in purchasing power has not only allured individual investors for 15 years, but is now attracting significant capital from large, public corporations to state pension funds.

But what is most interesting about Bitcoin is not its ability to preserve and increase in dollar-denominated value, but rather what it does to those that catch the bug.

Upon closer examination of our world, achieved through the study of Bitcoin, it becomes quite evident that incentives and habits are broken all over the place:

  • We lather ourselves in chemical protectants to avoid exposure to the sun, the supreme source of energy, and therefore, life on earth.

  • We eat low-cost, highly processed food in place of nutrient-dense options, such as meat and eggs.

  • We are fooled into buying cheap trinkets made in China instead of investing in quality products that we actually need.

  • We have fewer children because we want “freedom” or because of “climate change” or other high time preference excuses.

  • We settle for Neflix and video games and social media at the expense of weekly meetups with friends that can offer us real relationships and good conversation.

  • We tolerate modern “art” and pathetically hideous architecture because so few people have the inclination to master these trades, or invest capital in their greatness, any longer.

The list goes on. (If you want to uncover more of the “why” of these trends, read The Fiat Standard by Saifedean Ammous).

When you start learning about Bitcoin as sound money - money that cannot be printed, manipulated, or debased - you begin to piece together just how far we’ve deviated from what should be normal. We’ve accepted a far inferior way of life because it has happened slowly and insidiously over the last 50 or so years.

Bitcoin teaches you to question everything you once knew. It truly is an escape hatch from the matrix.

Some will come to this realization sooner than others, but eventually nearly everyone will have to take the medicine.

It can be a rude awakening, to be sure. But my nearly any measure, learning about Bitcoin will enlighten you to lost truths that you’ve likely known were missing all along.
