💸FINANCIAL INCLUSION

Bitcoin: Opening The Door To Financial Inclusion
By Ray Youssef

After two years of the pandemic, and rampant inflation forcing many into poverty, global wealth inequality is surging. The top 1% has captured 20 times more wealth than the bottom 50%, and while this isn't a metric we can or should control, it displays a picture of how our current financial system has failed.

In a world where politics becomes an important factor determining our wealth, where a decision to devaluate a currency can put an entire population into poverty within weeks or days, bitcoin becomes an available solution for those seeking an alternative for wealth preservation.

For the first time, there is an open monetary network, which can avoid regulatory capital controls, giving hope for billions of people seeking to be part of the global financial market — and it's called Bitcoin.

🏦GOVERNMENT INSURANCE

Why Bitcoin Is A CDS On The Fed
By Adam Taha

“Bitcoin is a hedge against inflation,” is relative. For those that bought bitcoin before 2021, the previous statement remains true. However, for those who bought recently, that statement can be taken with some skepticism. 

The truth is that Bitcoin is an insurance against inflation depending on the time frame. Throughout its entire existence, Bitcoin has shown to be an exceptional store of value in the long run, giving excellent results for those willing to hold it for some time. For the impatient ones, it does not work that well.

Nonetheless, “Bitcoin is your insurance against the government’s entire monetary policy,” is a statement that is always true. Every single unit of bitcoin that you hold directly decreases the power of the state over money. Ultimately, the goal is to separate money from the state.

💰FUTURE OF LENDING

In Defense Of Bitcoin Full Reserve: Not Anti-Credit, But Anti-Fiduciary Media.
By Stephan Livera

In the words of Nic Carter, “A world with no credit is a dismal one. Credit unleashes savings and puts the money to work in productive areas of the economy.” 

Carter’s statement makes total sense. However, there are two kinds of credit: commodity credit and circulation credit. Or, to paraphrase, there are two kinds of creditors: those who lend what they have in their reserve, and those that lend more than what they have.

Our society has been running under a scheme of circulation credit (creditors lending indiscriminately) for decades now. The current monetary policy of worthless and printable money allows circulation credit to work as long as the government keeps subsidizing the mess. 

How would credit work under a Bitcoin standard?

MEME OF THE DAY 

By Seedsteel

In a world where money is infinite, the things that we need and desire become scarce.

This is why we need money to be hard, otherwise everything else we want becomes scarce against the seemingly infinite money.

This money, some entity can create it out of nowhere, while you and me work hard to obtain our own. 

Stack harder,
