If you think about this really deeply, you don’t really want to buy a Tesla with a Bitcoin, because Bitcoin’s going to $1 million and the Tesla’s going to zero. What you want to do is borrow $50,000 in dollars at 4% interest to buy the Tesla, and then in ten years you’ll have the $1 million and you’ll be able to buy another Tesla, and then you’ll have $10 million.
financing the property to the currency
If what you want is to construct a system that makes you wealthy and keeps you wealthy and keeps all the gears of commerce spinning, the system that works best is everybody holds a digital currency and they hold a digital property, or a digital asset; they’re both technically assets, which is why I distinguish one as property and one as currency. And then the strategy long term is you keep financing the property to the currency. And it’s actually of benefit to you.
Revolution vs evolution
Apolitical
The evolutionary view is, “I invented oil and steel and electricity and Isaac Newton invented engineering maths. Is the world a better place with calculus, oil, steel and electricity, and should we introduce it?” The evolutionary view is apolitical. It’s constructive and it’s also cooperative.
Change the money keep the bank
The path of least resistance is the strategy of most likely success.
Bitcoin over gold
as long as the US dollar is losing 15% of its value a year, every single person in the United States can borrow money at less than 15% interest.
If you’re borrowing money at 2%, 3%, 4%, 5% interest, everybody has a positive 10% arbitrage just off of the currency weakening, which means that if you don’t have debt in the weakening currency, then your portfolio is half as big as it would otherwise be.

If the world’s $1,000 trillion, I think that digital energy is $500 trillion. We can call that money, the money is $500 trillion, however you want to deal with it. We have a solution to half of everything, but we don’t have a solution to the other half.
before you change the world, get the money.***

And if you’re 100% invested, I want you to understand it well enough to say, “Well, maybe I really can take out a 3% 15-year loan and be 200% invested”. Why not?
