Everyday, trillions of transactions across the world happen because we live in a financial system where the relative relationship between the perceived, actual, realised and unrealised value of an asset determine its equilibrium in price.
We rely on this equilibrium to coexist in a state of financial normalcy. We look for value to reduce our spending, reasons to justify when we do spend and, if we are lucky enough, to increase what we can own in the future.
We try to anticipate any uncertainty by mitigating volatility, while our aggregate human behaviour accumulates into anomalies in liquidity as a result of our inherent inability to balance our transactions perfectly mathematically.
Bring on the last global financial crisis of 2008, when U.S household wealth fell by $11 trillion, causing a 50% drop in the stock market, a 10% decline in global trade and many countries having to bail out bank losses exceeding $1 trillion.
Fast forward 18 years and we find ourselves in a similar world embroiled in wars skyrocketing energy prices to levels that require more and more of our monetary energy.
To put it simply, we knew we could afford more before 2008 because it cost less, we knew we could afford less after 2008 because it would cost more, and now we don’t know what we can even afford because we now know the monetary energy required to own what we can costs more and more over time.
History never repeats itself but often rhymes.
If you’ve got this far, you might be wondering how and why Bitcoin has anything to do with any of this.
And you’d be right.
Back in 2008, Bitcoin had no monetary value at all; in other words, it was at zero.
And it was only until 2010 that you could exchange ten of them for one cent.
Today, approximately 150,000 wallets world wide hold that number or more - less than 0.03% of the total addresses and roughly 2% to 3% of proportional wealth of the global adult population.
That is assuming you bought each Bitcoin for 60,000 dollars, the lowest price someone has been willing to pay for one since October 2024.
While Bitcoin increased six-million fold since 2010, we still continue to believe that the global wealth per adult - the average amount of what we own - has kept up.
But we’d be wrong.
If you bought Bitcoin back in 2010 for one US Dollar, someone else would pay at least 60 million US Dollars for it today.
Less than 0.04% of the US have that much money.
If our monetary energy must always expand and contract to rebalance our anomalistic liquidity imbalances, it follows that Bitcoin's value can only expand exponentially, relative to our own.
And it is because of all of this that you will end up wishing you could wind back the hands of time to buy, or panic buying the next peak in price because you wished you had gotten in sooner.
