Bitcoin's Scarcity and the Transition to a New System

Bitcoin is a scarce asset with decentralized and secure properties that will reprice the entire world. It operates on the principles of a free market, which is inherently deflationary as entrepreneurs constantly create more value for users. The exponential growth of technology, including AI and robotics, further accelerates the deflationary nature of the market. However, the existing financial system based on debt and the belief in inflation creates conflicts. The transition to a new system will be messy and require individuals to understand and move towards the new system. The political process, as it stands, is hindered by the inability of politicians to fully comprehend Bitcoin and its potential. Building the necessary infrastructure around Bitcoin and contributing to its growth is crucial for a successful transition.
