Right. Bitcoin. It’s still…there. And actually, going up. Apparently, it’s up 27% this year already. 2025, to be precise. Which is frankly astonishing, considering everything. I mean, the world is a mess, my dating life is a mess, and yet, this digital thing keeps proving everyone wrong. It’s almost…irritatingly resilient. It’s creeping up towards all-time highs, which feels a bit intimidating, doesn’t it? Like a very clever, slightly smug acquaintance who is inexplicably successful.
There’s this nagging feeling, isn’t there? That you’ve missed the boat. That everyone else is already several stops ahead on the crypto-train, and you’re dithering on the platform with a lukewarm coffee and a growing sense of panic. You read about the price increases, and think, “Oh, it’s too late now,” which is precisely what I thought about yoga. And organic food. And basic financial literacy. But maybe, just maybe, it isn’t.
The Scarcity Thing (It’s Really Quite Important)
Apparently, Bitcoin’s “grown up.” Which is a relief. Honestly, the thought of a grown-up cryptocurrency – one that doesn’t just vanish into the ether after a rogue tweet – is marginally reassuring. So, the SEC approved spot ETFs, the White House has a…Strategic Bitcoin Reserve (who knew?), and banks are now allowed to hold it for people. Which all sounds terribly official and grown-up and, dare I say it, legitimate.
But actually, none of that’s the real reason, is it? The truly compelling argument, if you really think about it – and I’ve been thinking about it, obsessively, checking CoinDesk every five minutes – is the scarcity. There are only going to be 21 million Bitcoins. Ever. It’s coded in, like some sort of digital destiny. And while everything else seems to be subject to revision (my life, my wardrobe, government policy…), this is fixed. Immutable. Which, in a world of endless possibilities (and endless disappointments) is…comforting. Units of Cryptocurrency Researched: 47. Number of Late Nights Spent Reading White Papers: 3. Amount of Sleep Lost: Considerable.
Fiat, Debt, and the Endless Cycle
And then t It’s a number so large, it loses all meaning. The money supply is expanding faster than my waistline after a particularly stressful week. And whatever Elon Musk tried with that “Department of Government Efficiency” thing…well, let’s just say it didn’t exactly solve the problem. It’s all rather terrifying, when you really focus on it. Which I prefer not to, generally.
The point – and yes, I’m trying to sound sophisticated and macro-strategist-y here, because apparently, I’ve decided I *am* a macro-strategist now, alongside everything else – is that Bitcoin offers a counterpoint. A definite limit, against the endless churn of fiat currency. It’s a simple equation, really: more debt + more money printing = potentially, a higher price for something truly scarce. It’s not foolproof, of course, nothing ever is. But the logic, while perhaps unsettlingly straightforward, is compelling. I mean, it’s either that or start stockpiling canned goods and learning how to barter. Which, frankly, feels a bit extreme, even for me. Hours Spent Calculating Potential ROI: Too many to admit.
