Bitcoin is the best performing asset class over a 15 year period, over a 5 year period, and for anyone who is holding Bitcoin for more than four years, the average appreciation is a 90% year-over-year return.
Scarcity: Bitcoin is the scarcest asset in human history. it's scarce beyond the physical Realm, with a fixed supply of 21 million coins enforced by code and mathematics, not men. Gold has had a monetary premium for a thousand years and yet still is inflated 1 to 2% every year. Bitcoin has artificial scarcity, something that we've never encountered in human history.
Divisibility: Bitcoin is infinitely divisible, allowing for greater accessibility and affordability for a wider range of users.
Durability: Bitcoin is infinitely durable : being digital, it does not degrade over time, ensuring its longevity and preservation of value.
Portability: Bitcoin is the most portable asset on Earth : you can memorize a short phrase and hold billions of dollars in your brain, easily transferred and stored without requiring physical transportation or storage methods.
Verifiability: Transactions on the Bitcoin blockchain are transparent and publicly verifiable, promoting trust and accountability among participants.
These features contribute to its independence from centralized authorities, making it resistant to censorship and virtually impossible to stop. Moreover, its decentralized structure, peer-to-peer architecture, and global distribution render it highly resilient against disruption or attack. As adoption continues to grow, Bitcoin emerges as a potent force for freedom and self-sovereignty, empowering users to engage in secure, uncensored transactions and communications.
Even though ordinary people look at the price and think it is very "expensive" at 70,000€, the total market cap for Bitcoin is a little over a trillion in the beginning of 2024 : if you put that in context of global asset buckets, it's absolutely minuscule. There is a lot of growth coming and it is about to explode on another level with institutions and nation-states coming into the game.
Bitcoin is s like nothing the world has ever seen before and it will catalyze an economic golden age as sound money, by becoming gradually the neutral reserve asset of the whole world .
It has been designed for that.
