0x03 // why bitcoin

₿itcoin

A fundamentally new kind of absolutely scarce money that has never existed before.

Bitcoin, often referred to as a digital currency, is an emerging technology that has been in existence for over a decade. It is not simply a new form of PayPal; rather, it represents a fundamentally new kind of absolutely scarce money that has never existed before. This groundbreaking and disruptive innovation offers unique features, such as uncensorable transactions, protection from confiscation, and a robust design that makes it ultra-hard type of money and therefore an ideal store of value for the 21st century.

Bitcoin appeals to those seeking a hedge against worst-case economic scenarios. It offers protection against inflation, security in the face of potential bank failures, and a safe haven amidst the global environment of zero or negative real interest rates. However, it is important to acknowledge the challenge associated with Bitcoin, such as its short-term volatility.

Over the long term, Bitcoin exhibits characteristics similar to digital gold, despite its short-term price fluctuations. When you buy Bitcoin, you are placing your trust in a mathematical framework that is devoid of politics and human error. However, holding Bitcoin for the long term requires a strong understanding of the underlying technology, necessitating a deep investment in education.

So why might Bitcoin become the singular foundational protocol for e-money, instead of one out of many? The short of it is that at the very heart of digital money is reliability, which is very expensive to achieve, and of which the per-user-cost becomes cheaper as the monetary protocol grows in size.

To better appreciate the potential of Bitcoin and understand its inner workings, it is crucial to educate oneself on the subject. As an expert in the field, I am prepared to guide you through the intricacies of Bitcoin and help you navigate this exciting new frontier. I encourage you to explore available resources, engage in community discussions, and immerse yourself in this revolutionary technology.

My journey

Organized Central Europe's first Future of Money conference — putting the question of what money becomes next on the main stage.

co-founder
ViaGold

In 2011, built the first online shop where customers paid with gold via the GoldMoney network — sound money at checkout, years before it was cool.

// 2012 — GoldMoney discontinued its payment network due to regulatory pressure. We discovered Bitcoin, and learned a critical lesson:
"Trusted Third Party Payment Networks Are Business Threats."
