Bitcoin Standard in the 2030s is inevitable | Guy Swann

A full-on Bitcoin Standard in the 2030s! What impact will AI have on Bitcoin? Why Bitcoin is a bigger revolution than the Internet? Why also the Internet needs BTC to be good, and not bad. Favorite Line: Fiat is only going down, and Bitcoin only going up. LOVE IT!

I would love to meet you there! - Get a 10% discount with code "ROBIN" - or visit: https://robinbtc.link/Prague Summary The most widely misunderstood aspect of Bitcoin is its role as a monetary asset and a reliable store of value. Many people still don't trust Bitcoin or understand its potential. Bitcoin is not just a payment app or a platform; it is a monetary protocol that is being monetized faster than any other monetary good in history. The trust network of Bitcoin is growing and providing positive feedback for its adoption. Bitcoin is a fundamental protocol that is core to our communication layers, and it has the potential to reinvent the internet. Bitcoin's adoption and trust-building process will be slow and long. In this conversation, Guy Swann discusses the potential timeline for a complete Bitcoin standard and its impact on society. He explains that trust in Bitcoin is a slow network effect that takes time to gain. He references Alex Fetzky's three generations theory, which suggests that it may take 25-30 years for Bitcoin to become the base of a new growing economy. Swann also discusses the acceleration of technology and the disruptions that occur on top of disruptions. He believes that a Bitcoin standard will remove the misinformation and friction caused by fiat money, leading to a renaissance and a more productive society.

The rise of Bitcoin will be faster than you think | Lau (Anonymous)

The anonymous OG Lau shares with us his thoughts about the upcoming major Bitcoin run, and the fast collapse of the fiat system. Fascinating to hear, what he thinks!

I would love to meet you there! - Get a 10% discount with code "ROBIN" - or visit: https://robinbtc.link/Prague Summary The guest chose to be anonymous to serve the Bitcoin community without seeking personal credit. Privacy is important in the Bitcoin space to protect against social threats. Bitcoin's success is measured by its adoption as a store of value and its ability to eat up all other stores of value. Bitcoin will bring financial freedom to countries struggling with poverty and will disrupt protectionist policies. Bitcoin's impact goes beyond money and can change the world by challenging existing monetary policies and creating opportunities for economic growth. Bitcoin has the potential to free people from financial repression and solve world hunger by giving access to capital. The collapse of the dollar is estimated to happen within three years, leading to hyperinflation. Bitcoin's value is expected to increase exponentially, and its adoption as the main store of value and unit of account is predicted within 10 years. CBDCs are seen as irrelevant and doomed to fail, as people will choose what's best for them, and merchants won't accept them. Bitcoin's scalability is believed to be underestimated, as the increasing value will fund its development.
