INSIGHT

Bitcoin Competes For All Stored Value

Bitcoin competes for the entire market of stored value, not just an industry niche.
Bram compares Bitcoin's ~0.15% market cap to the ~$900T global asset pie to show its potential to absorb vast value.

INSIGHT

Stock Ownership Is An IOU Illusion

Stocks present an ownership illusion because brokers and the DTC are the legal owners while investors hold IOUs.
Bram cites GameStop 2021 rehypothecation, trading halts, and DTCC collateral demands to show retail can be locked out.

ANECDOTE

Gold Faces Confiscation And Paper Gold Problems

Gold can be confiscated and is often traded as unallocated paper claims, not physical metal.
Bram recounts Executive Order 6102 (1933) and LBMA/COMEX paper‑to‑physical mismatches to underline the risk.
