Bitcoin has crossed $100k and I want to return to a piece which I posited on the implications. ‘Good People, there is a possible evolution in the world of market systems where cryptocurrencies could disintermediate the elemental structure of investing, especially for stocks and bonds. Yes, why take risks investing in companies which can miss revenue and profit targets when there is an “asset” you can just put that money with no stress on checking production output. Yes, bitcoin and cousins do not have to report quarterly results unlike companies which do, and have to justify why we must keep investing in them.’
“If Bitcoin hits $100,000, we could have a consequential impact in the market. Yes, it can attract capital that is not to be deployed in any production system, but largely helps some people make tons of money. Within that system, why should people work – and why should people create companies?”
Bitcoin has surged past $100,000 for the first time, marking a significant milestone for the world’s largest cryptocurrency. The digital asset has set records again and again in recent months amid hopes that the post-election landscape will provide a “more supportive” regulatory environment for the overall crypto industry. Bitcoin has gained around 145% so far this year, and more than 45% since the presidential election. The cryptocurrency has also received a boost from the approval of U.S.-listed bitcoin exchange-traded funds in January, which have helped put it “on the cusp of mainstream acceptance,” per Reuters.

Left and right, it is coming as expected: only the government will make Bitcoin great, and since the anointing via ETFs and ascention of Trump, the veil has been removed, and no person can predict what will happen next. Possibly, we will have a Bitcoin-only banking in Nigeria soon…..

No CEO to hire and fire, no product to sell, no board of directors; but your ‘money’ is just growing. You cannot model human greed, and destruction has always been part of human history, that is why there will always be wars anyway.
At any given time, there is always ‘something’ makes some people wealthy, and money being the only neutral global citizen, its relevance and status will remain untouchable.
By 2030 we will be singing a different song, and by 2035 a totally different song will also emerge. The only constant is money, everything else changes.
