Opt to Save

I believe Bitcoin is a savings technology. It is not an investment in anything other than your future. This is a simple realization that opens your life up to a world of possibilities. With the freedom to save secured, you have the freedom to live the life you want to live.

I have 15 years of Bitcoin-specific history proving this fact. 1 dollar 15 years ago lost over 99% of its value compared to if that dollar had been put into Bitcoin.

I also have thousands of years of human behavior to point to when accepting the fact that humanity always, always, opts to store their capital in the hardest form of currency. From shells and beads to gold and precious metals, humanity always makes this choice.

With my eyes open to the fact that Bitcoin is a savings technology, I have come to fully realize a problem currently facing our society:

Our society views saving and investing as the same thing however, they are functionally different.

These two words have very different definitions. Savings aim at preservation. Investing aims at multiplying. However, due to inflation and the money printer, our freedom to save is being stolen from us. If you play the game of only holding cash, you are losing year over year. In our world, people attempting to stay ahead of inflation are required to play the game of investing. Coincidentally, those in our society who invest, view their investments as having the security of “savings.” They dump money into the markets and various indexes assuming they have diversified away any risk they may have and trust they will return anywhere from 8 to 12% a year, totally “risk-free.” They view investing in this way because the ability to save successfully is nonexistent.

However, I believe the above statement is no longer factual, I believe people now have the choice to opt in or opt out of the game of investing. Bitcoin is the trump card for those who no longer wish to be confined to the shadowy realm of investing that is masqueraded as savings.

Bitcoin and its 15-year history combined with the thousands of years of human behavior to go off of, have enabled the practice of savings to reemerge for anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin, unlike any company or security investment, does not require a profit and loss statement, innovative solutions, or even a growing revenue to maintain value. Bitcoin instead maintains value due to its anti-fragile nature that compounds with every block that is mined coupled with its defined characteristic of scarcity.

Bitcoin unlike any fiat currency printed and created out of thin air by the various governments of the world, cannot be created freely and at will. Bitcoin is instead mined and secured by the largest computer network in the world in a trustless manner.

Bitcoin unlike any fiat currency does not fluctuate in value based on the power of the government that prints it. Bitcoin is a borderless, government-agnostic, digital currency that transcends fiat rule.

Bitcoin is a currency that was engineered to be the perfect savings technology. Use it for what it is; a vehicle to transport the capital and wealth you have today into the world you want to live in the future.

Other “savings” currencies are no longer viable compared to Bitcoin. Other “savings” currencies don’t give you the chance to opt out of the game of investing unless you accept losing.

People who save in dollars lose, so they invest.

People who save in euros lose, so they invest.

People who save in the Yen lose, so they invest.

People who save in Bitcoin win, so they can choose to invest.

Bitcoin is an opt-out of the traditional system that forces you to play.

Bitcoin is a savings technology.

Opt to save.
