summary
Argument frames Bitcoin as a choice to opt out of traditional finance, claiming reserve-asset adoption accelerates after US ETF approvals and that Bitcoin is the best-performing asset in 9 of the last 12 years. Cites a 0.2% share of global financial assets and projects tokenizing 1% of RWA as a $5–10 trillion opportunity. Lists banking failures—multi-day payments, bailouts, high fees from fractional-reserve lending—versus blockchains’ 24/7 permissionless operation and self-custody and sovereignty.
