Typo on my part, it’s *freegold. You’ll enjoy that rabbit hole. I like your optimism but it certainly will not counteract paper markets. Humans going to human. The good news is that it’s doesn’t need to if you want to use it as MOE because the paper markets will eventually nuke the volatility which is what you want in that use case.
As an aside if you study history the world has already achieved an incredible level of prosperity. The astronomical levels of wealth that you see championed in the west make it seem unbalanced but in reality abundance is the default case and has been rising for centuries.
The current epoch is just stuck on growth at all costs and clout driven by bank accounts and outward wealth. More wealth is not what is needed, especially for prosperity in your framework. Values and culture are where the wants and needs are determined and the wests are currently under siege. Lots of work to still be done and not having one’s surplus eroded by incompetent bankers is the goal.

Gold has already shown the playbook of how this plays out. Bitcoin is still in the very first leg and you can already see the incentives are driving it to enormous paper markets. I agree with you on wanting a better world for our kids, it’s why I save in Bitcoin for mine as well. And it’s very convenient that yes you can spend it and I have for years P2P for lots of goods and services. But it’s easy to see the incentives and that it is going to take the same path as gold. I’m not sure how familiar you are with the freehold thesis but it was extremely similar to the bitcoin thesis. Satoshi and Another are similar characters. Bitcoin has properties that are better than gold. But let’s not assume the world cannot be a wonderful place and have local economies even without Bitcoin. I’ve lived around the Amish most of my life and they have been doing just fine and will continue to be fine. We both want Bitcoin to succeed I just don’t think it succeeds or should succeed as the medium of exchange for a global economy.

Maybe I should have said more appropriate or better suited for instead of trying to be both. Cash or monero if you need digital are perfectly fine as the medium of exchange for people who just want to preserve their purchasing power over time and have a bearer asset to store in

Unpopular opinion: Bitcoin is better off as a store of value and not a medium of exchange (MOE)
Now that NGU again the time comes once more for a good discussion.
On the flip side it is likely that Bitcoin does fail if it doesn’t reach MOE level.

For those unfamiliar with how institutional investing works.
Institutions underwrite bitcoins actual network operation, scarcity, and settlement.
On the flip side, retail underwrites narrative and participating in the movement that is bitcoin.
These are two different lenses. Does not make one right or wrong but you have to be able to understand and hold both perspectives. Social media whether it’s nostr or X is built around engagement not fundamentals. Just the reality.
I would venture to guess that the amount of bitcoin holders who actually post regularly is maybe 1-2%. And that’s probably generous. But the way social media works makes this small percentage feel like the total sentiment of the users. This is an illusion of urgency and threat. Yes these discussions matter but they are very niche to the greater ecosystem.

I did listen to the whole podcast. I am simply responding to the original question that was posed. I agree with most of your points in the podcast but this is a reaction to the current milieu of the bitcoin “ecosystem” and narratives

I think the full context is more ambiguous. I understand the analogy but I don’t think it’s that useful. No one gave bitcoin away. A open permissionless system evolved and the incentives drove the outcome. Why is it called “mainstream media”? Because the majority of individuals follow it. Same with pop culture. Popular implies the majority. The cypher punk ethos was/is a sever minority up against the gravity of the current culture. Bitcoin can still be used in the same manner as when it started. Nothing in the network prevents that. Bitcoin unfortunately expresses what the majority values. If the majority valued sovereignty the world would be a very different place. This isn’t doomerism it’s just the sobering reality. I don’t think bitcoin failed at all. It’s still a great usable tool. I think co opt narrative is still just a mask for people angry the number hasn’t gone up fast enough so they have to place blame somewhere.

2026-08-10 20:26:21 CEST

I find the retiring in bitcoin arguments and the hate on OGs for selling tiresome. There are many use cases for bitcoin that are excellent. If you need to move value across borders it is unmatched. VERY few people in actuality need to move enormous amounts of value this way. If you have 100 BTC that’s probably excessive to say the least for what bitcoin actually needs to provide for you in your life. This is just reality. The network can still exist without everyone hoarding every free cent in it. This is a fact.
Don’t fall for all of the narratives and infighting. Just do the work and know what you own and then if the properties still exist then go enjoy your life.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in it because fix the money fix the world. But we all know this isn’t a straight line and some trade offs will occur. Welcome to life.

As we all should. No shade here just reminding others that the narrative games are always ongoing but the properties of the network remain

2026-08-10 20:14:43 CEST

Narrative combatants on all sides often treat daily drama as the main event.
The longer-term question is whether the underlying design properties of bitcoin survive contact with reality and continue to attract voluntary use.

Sounds esoteric but the more coupled you are to the power source of the universe, the less external energy you need.

To the point on self custody, how can you cash out today without KYC vs after the bill has passed? I don’t know of anyway you could buy a house now with BTC and not KYC yourself in some form or another unless you are a lawyer and can write and air tight transfer with the seller. I agree that there are traps in the legislation but I don’t want people to forget that simple self custody and P2P will be how they always have been.

Agree with you and I’ve gone through and experienced all of those things. And as we know there are consequences in each of those areas for only having a cursory knowledge of what you are doing. The concern here with money and savings is that if you lose your life savings to a bug like this it eliminates years of diligence and future years of optionality. The stakes are higher. This should trigger people to go deeper into that subject first but the other problem is so many very simple solutions exist to store your money and have for decades so it’s a harder sell to get them to self custody something with much higher risk. No shade on your points just an open discussion. Would be happy to learn your best practices for cold storage setup and the time investment to learn it properly

We will definitely be going back and check out more regions and recommendations from the locals.
If you have any questions about the trip and traveling there feel free to ask!
Finally, I would highly recommend contacting @nprofile…w5vu when you are planning your trip. He is incredibly helpful and provides full service transportation. He and his uncle were nice enough to stop at a local pupusa place and a grocery store on our way to our rental and then pick us up early in the morning for our flight home.

Use bitcoin as the medium of exchange if you can’t trade directly. It’s not complicated. This doesn’t have anything to do with privacy or quantum. It’s just simple trade to make your life better and more self sufficient.

On chain privacy or bust? Bitcoin is just the first mover and so it benefits from network effects. It doesn’t have to be the only tool. It’s just a form of money. If it’s a better form of money than cash or gold then use it. Most people are just trying to keep their heads above water and save in something that isn’t printed into oblivion. Doesn’t seem like it’s a bust if they have that option. Just keep cash along side it if you want privacy. It’s not black and white.
