Bitcoin Is a Bet on Success

bitcoin is the money of a flourishing civilization - a bet on human progress, technological advancement, and societal success. in choosing it, we direct our energy toward creating the future we wish to see.

The Choice of Future

every store of value represents not just a bet on a particular version of the future, but an energetic contribution toward that future's realization. cigarettes, ammunition, and gold are bets on societal collapse - their adoption channels human energy toward preparing for decline.

       bitcoin is a bet on human ingenuity, on technological progress, on the continuation and advancement of civilization itself. when we choose to store our value in bitcoin, we commit our energy to building rather than hedging against destruction.
     

Assets of Decline

consider what makes collapse currencies valuable:

       • ammunition: valuable when violence rules

       • cigarettes: valuable when addiction prevails

       • gold: valuable when trust breaks down

       • canned food: valuable when production stops

       • physical cash: valuable when systems fail

The Currency of Light

bitcoin's value proposition aligns our energy with civilization's advancement. it requires and rewards:

       • functioning electricity grids

       • advanced computation

       • global communication networks

       • technological literacy

       • peaceful coordination at scale

The Power of Choice

where we store our value is not a neutral decision - it is an existential choice that shapes the world we create:

       every unit of value stored in bitcoin strengthens the networks, systems, and knowledge that advance civilization. our choice of money is our vote for the future we want to build - a self-fulfilling prophecy powered by collective human energy.
     

The Optimist's Money

choosing bitcoin over collapse currencies represents more than a financial decision - it is an act of creation. by storing our life energy in the money of human flourishing, we contribute to making that flourishing more likely.

this is not mere optimism, but practical action. when we bet on success through bitcoin, we align our energy with progress, direct our resources toward advancement, and participate in building the future we wish to see. it is not just prediction, but creation - not just hope, but action.
