summary

Argues that fiat systems need constant bailouts and pandemic-era money printing proves it, proposing Bitcoin as a predictable monetary alternative with a fixed issuance schedule set in 2009, resisting political meddling. Points to 80–90% of bitcoins already mined, one block roughly every 10 minutes, and a declining new-supply curve as evidence that Bitcoin functions as a hard asset instead of a debt asset, and stresses reliability over discretionary central-bank policy.
