summary

Argues that Bitcoin removes the ability of humans to change monetary policy, so a virus cannot permanently rearrange economic relationships; criticizes recent fiscal response as roughly $3 trillion printed and calls ongoing money printing a hidden, ongoing pre-mine that steals future purchasing power. Notes a concrete product move: ShapeShift acquires Portis and launches a mobile wallet offering self-custody with email/password UX, promising easier crypto custody but not yet shown at scale.
