Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

I mean, it's been so volatile.

Digital Social Hour

Right.

Digital Social Hour

And Bitcoin is still kind of being treated as a risk on asset, right?

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

But the long-term thesis is that, yeah, war or instability or people looking at the dollar being destabilized or inflated away should, in theory, make Bitcoin go up.

We haven't quite gotten there yet.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

I think that's going to be when we do actually break out.

Digital Social Hour

But I mean, it could happen at any moment, which is why I think there's a lot of conversations around the fact that Bitcoin only has 21 million.

It is a gold rush, right?

Digital Social Hour

It's an accumulation game.

Digital Social Hour

People pay, I think, too much attention to the price of Bitcoin, the US dollar price of Bitcoin, rather than paying attention to how much Bitcoin you actually have.

Digital Social Hour

Because at the end of the day, you want that number to go up, the number of Bitcoin in your wallet.

Digital Social Hour

Because if it's a scarce asset, that's really the name of the game.

The US dollar equivalent,

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

I mean, what are we talking about with the US dollar equivalent?

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

I mean, think about how much you've lost in purchasing power with your dollars over the last 100 years.

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

98%, right?

Digital Social Hour
Why Only 21 Million Bitcoin Matters So Much... | George Mekhail | DSH #1916

Yeah, 98, 99%.

Digital Social Hour

And I mean, you can really trace it back to really significant events that have happened from COVID when they basically doubled the money supply.

Before that, what did you have?
