Bitcoin Is Now A Teenager, Turns 14 Today.

Every year on 3rd January we celebrate the birthday of Bitcoin – the world’s first and most robust cryptocurrency and blockchain network that spans millions of nodes and users and has become the most important innovation of this century.

Back in 2008, on 31 October, an anonymous person/group known as Satoshi Nakamoto published a white paper titled: “Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System“. It was posted to a cryptography mailing list and outlined methods of using a peer-to-peer network to generate what was described as “a system for electronic transactions without relying on trust”.

On 3 January 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the genesis block of bitcoin (block number 0), which had a reward of 50 BTC.
Embedded in the genesis block was the text:

The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks

The text refers to a headline in The Times published on 3 January 2009. This note has been interpreted as both a timestamp of the genesis date and a derisive comment on the instability caused by fractional-reserve banking.

14 years later, here we are, on the brink of another economic collapse worldwide. Excessive printing of money throughout the 2 year-long pandemic has led to huge inflation numbers across the globe, with increasing interest rates that aimed to curb inflation and we’re still failing at slowing down.

2023 has just started, but it will surely present us with new challenges and economies will continue to struggle. Bitcoin will continue to deliver unstoppable, censorship-resistant and decentralized monetary alternative to anyone who chooses to take full ownership of their capital and hopefully more people will embrace it, ultimately leading to Hyperbitcoinization.

Hyperbitcoinization is a term that refers to the hypothetical future scenario in which Bitcoin becomes the dominant form of currency worldwide. This would mean that Bitcoin would be used for all transactions, both online and offline, and would effectively replace traditional fiat currencies like the US dollar, euro, and yen.

There are a number of factors that could potentially lead to hyperbitcoinization, including:

Increased adoption: As more and more people and businesses begin using Bitcoin, it could eventually reach a critical mass where it becomes the de facto standard for transactions.
Decentralization: One of the key features of Bitcoin is its decentralized nature, which means that it is not controlled by any single entity like a government or central bank. This could make it more appealing to users who value financial independence and privacy.
Store of value: Some people see Bitcoin as a store of value, similar to gold, due to its limited supply and the fact that it is not subject to inflation. If more people start using Bitcoin as a way to preserve wealth, it could increase its adoption and use as a currency.
Trust in traditional currencies: If people lose faith in traditional fiat currencies due to economic instability or other factors, they may turn to Bitcoin as an alternative.

While hyperbitcoinization is still a long way off and may never happen, it is an interesting concept to consider. If Bitcoin were to become the dominant currency, it would have far-reaching implications for the global economy and financial system. For example, it could potentially disrupt the traditional banking system and change the way that monetary policy is conducted.

In times of economic instability, such as the current situation, the demand for safe haven assets like Bitcoin tends to increase. This is because people are seeking ways to protect their wealth from the negative effects of inflation and financial uncertainty. Despite being in a bear market, with my analysis predicting that it will continue for a few more months, ultimately, 2023 will see a rise in the value of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Historically, buying Bitcoin during a bear market, like we have now, has been the most profitable tactic.

While the current economic collapse has had negative impacts on many people and industries, it has also created an opportunity for the adoption of alternative assets like Bitcoin. As more people become aware of the benefits of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, it is likely that they will increasingly be seen as a viable option for wealth preservation and transfer.

With that said, I hope you are ready for accumulation during the market bottom (which is where we are already).

I know I am.
