The New Monetary Order and the Fall of Fiat
summary
Bitcoin reaches new highs (~$110,000) while proponents argue the U.S. could add BTC to strategic reserves, citing onchain moves (Coinbase reportedly moved 600,000 BTC) and custody debates that favor onshore, sovereign control over third‑party custodians. Claims: Bitcoin is outperforming gold but is still ~$2T vs gold ~$22T with $50 million a day emission vs gold’s ~$500M. Historical specifics: the Blocksize Wars led to a Bitcoin Cash fork, proof of keys exposes exchange failures, and early tools like Armory, Kraken, BitPay and the Wolf Lightning incubator are tested but retail merchant adoption remains weak.
