It's been a medium of exchange for all recorded human history, all recorded.

I mean, from the earliest rings we have refer to gold.

So there's something about gold that people associate with value.

Okay.

It has value.

But the reason is not so easily explained.

It's not just that it's, you know, useful in medical devices or in consumer electronics.

Is there something about it that resonates that, you know, hums at a certain frequency within people?

But we don't know why.

Well, there was another use that was intended, or at least advertised at the very beginning, I remember it vividly, which was as a medium of exchange that couldn't be controlled by governments.

And that was going to usher in true human freedom where they couldn't control commerce.

Can I just ask, though?

I mean, a lot of what you're saying is obviously true, but I also think you've described the decline of the U.S.

dollar, its diminishing purchasing power.

So clearly there needs to be a new global reserve currency.

You don't want it to be one owned by a geopolitical rival.

So why wouldn't Bitcoin be the new global reserve currency?
