The Bitcoin Standard

" summary

Argues Bitcoin is unique because supply is fixed at 21 million cap and new issuance stays constant at ~1,800 new BTC/day, so demand raises security rather than inflation; mining increases hashpower (claimed ~7 trillion times a laptop) making attacks costlier. Claims zero fraudulent confirmations in ten years, on‑chain settlement takes about an hour with six confirmations, and consumer payments happen off‑chain via second layers. Frames Bitcoin as a global, voluntary store of value that lowers time preference and alters capital formation.
