Accumulate more BTC while you can. The discount window is closing. Imagine waking up one day to media reporting that foreign nations are no longer transacting in the dollar due to the extreme U.S. debt load. Foreign banks and governments are no longer interested in buying UST because they know the debasement cycle will far exceed the interest earned on holding the debt. Foreign trade fragments and polarizes with brokerage occurring in hard commodity assets and local currencies. US banks are frozen overnight to prevent collapse. Immediate, strict capital controls are implemented and the government assures everyone that things will be ok. But things aren't ok. Stock markets decline from uncertainty, spending and money velocity halts, debt markets seize. People are nervous, confusion is rampant. Within days, the public figures out that dollars are becoming inaccessible as credit is obliterated out of financial markets. People watch their retirement accounts decline by double digits for consecutive days. Trust and confidence is destroyed within one week. While retail bank accounts are frozen, the government stuffs the large financial institutions with cash in an effort to stave off a systemic bank failure. People realize at this point that if capital unfreezes, the currency is becoming worthless at an alarming rate. So what do people do? Naturally, they search for the most practical and reliable alternative money system. They will trade small goods in small quantities, but as goods disappear from shelves, they need a way to derive price signals outside of a rapidly depreciating fiat currency. Gold and metals are not widely distributed and cannot be verified easily. At this point, people realize that bitcoin possesses the fundamentals of gold but is more accessible, distributed, and offers a tranparent global pricing ledger that can easily integrate into everyday life. Within weeks, people prefer bitcoin over everything else, modifying business operations with minor changes and less inconvenience compared to other alternatives. Markets start to price things in sats, media educates on bitcoin payment practices, and life moves on. Yes, financial accounts are destroyed due to credit failure, but at least the essentials can be established before rebuilding. Bread is 5 sats Gas is 50 sats New car is 50,000 sats Pricing feels familiar. If you own 1 BTC, you have 100,000,000 sats. You realize that people are begging you to borrow your bitcoin. You establish a rate for lending out and choose the people you believe in most to repay. Money places new focus on efficiency and productivity instead of mediocrity. And this is how the new era begins...
