To investors,

Bitcoin has been one of the best performing assets in finance for years. This fact has been great for investors looking to optimize their returns compared to other financial investment opportunities.

But the vast majority of people on the planet are not investors. They are simply people trying to live their life and pursue happiness.

One of the major issues that creates friction for the average citizen is the debasement of their local currency. Given that ~ 50% of Americans have $0 in investment assets, these individuals continue to feel like they can’t get ahead. They are falling further behind. Everything around them is getting more expensive. Eventually they lose hope.

Thankfully, bitcoin can be a solution to the problem. Here is a graphic from Bitcoin Magazine showing the cost in US dollars and bitcoin for the median US home in 2016, 2020, and 2024.

Seeing the median home price in dollars nearly double is painful, but watching the same home price drop to 1/100th in bitcoin terms is incredible. This is the beauty of digital sound money.

With that said, people have become very excited about other crypto projects in the last two or three years. Many of these assets continue to perform well, and we know Wall Street loves volatility, so we shouldn’t be surprised.

Sam Wouters from River points out that bitcoin’s market cap continues to stand out despite the increasing interest in other assets:

“3 years ago, Bitcoin's market cap was ~$835B. Same for all the crypto stuff without stablecoins. Today, Bitcoin's market cap is up 37% ($1.15T) And the other stuff? -11% (not adjusted for inflation) It’s an insightful statistic to present to people who blindly “diversify”.”

Bitcoin doesn’t operate in a silo though. It is part of a larger financial system now. Both investors and savers have various options of where to store their economic value. Here is a short 1-minute from Tom Crown comparing saving $100 per month in US dollars, gold, and bitcoin.

Another way to view a similar analysis is to look at the compound annual growth rates of bitcoin, gold, and the S&P 500.

The bitcoin community is full of various characters. Some of the ideas coming out of the community are correct and many of them are outright ridiculous. One thing that is objectively true — bitcoiners nailed the asset’s ability to protect purchasing power over long periods of time.

It will be hard for sophisticated, institutional investors to ignore these type of dominance in financial markets. More importantly though, the average citizen now has a simple solution to an age-old problem of dollar debasement.

Hope you all have a great start to your week. I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.
