Why Bitcoin is Worth Considering
The dollar is weakening. Trust is eroding.
The global monetary system is changing before our eyes. And most people are still arguing about whether Bitcoin has "intrinsic value."
They're missing the bigger picture. For the first time in decades, the US appears to be actively stepping away from its role as the global reserve currency.
Not because of some grand conspiracy, but because American voters have decided the current system isn't working for them anymore.
This isn't just Trump. It's a mandate from plumbers, electricians, manufacturers, and young professionals who simply can't afford to live the life they were promised.
Meanwhile, the traditional finance world is frozen. They're paralyzed discussing tariffs while missing the fundamental shift happening beneath their feet.
The most fascinating part?
The very people who control the majority of global wealth - traditional finance professionals over 35 - still believe Bitcoin is worthless.

They think Michael Saylor is crazy. They're dismissing what will likely become the most important asset of the next decade. It's like betting on the favorite in a horse race at 100-to-1 odds.
The opportunity is unprecedented.
Why am I so certain?
Because Bitcoin fits perfectly into what's happening:
1. The digital economy has been growing for 50 years, but until Bitcoin, we never had native money for this system
2. The world is losing faith in the dollar as reserve currency (accelerated by weaponizing it with sanctions)
3. Traditional assets can't keep pace with the debasement of currencies
4. AI is democratizing opportunity while simultaneously making many traditional companies worthless
Consider this: I've set up what I call "strategic Bitcoin reserves" for my daughters. Not investment portfolios - reserves.
Because in a world where their social work and healthcare careers won't allow them to afford housing in major cities, Bitcoin gives them both protection from debasement and hope for the future.
The S&P 500 used to be how wealth was created and preserved. But what happens in a world where AI can eliminate the need for both debt AND people to build companies?
What happens when every business model becomes instantly disruptable? The only thing that's safe, ironically, is the asset with "no intrinsic value" - because it has no value to be destroyed.
When you look at the big picture, the case for Bitcoin isn't speculative.
