Good Afternoon Hacker, I've decided to write a compressed version of my book "Bitcoin - King of Speculation" in a unique HackerNoon Edition. Each article will be one chapter. Consider this article the introduction to the book. Chapter 1 will be in the next article. Enjoy the ride. *** Synopsis Synopsis In Chapter 1, I will briefly introduce Bitcoin Hodling and the implications of Bitcoin as a hedge for global debt. In Chapter 2, I'll introduce the Speculative Asset function of money, and why it is the future of global finance (You might have heard of the partnership between Polymarket and X). In Chapter 3, I'll introduce Gold, which I consider to be Bitcoin’s ally for a stronger global reserve binary-currency. In Chapter 3 - Extended, I'll discuss the challenges of financial austerity and a What-If super austerity scenario called MAGO (Mars Gold). And beyond (MAREs - Mars Reserves). In Chapter 4, I'll speculate on how Bitcoin will mitigate the threat of nuclear weapons. By extension, I'll discuss how it will mitigate danger from all extinction level weapon systems. In Chapter 5, I tackle the danger + weakness of Artificial Intelligence and how it stems from human disunity from fractured financial incentives. Then I'll discuss the reverse - benevolence + strength of Artificial Intelligence when human financial incentives are aligned in a Capitalism 2.0. In Chapter 6, I explore how Bitcoin is the only best solution for a successful energy transition (and why energy crises are unnecessary). In Chapter 7, I explore the prospect of Petro Bitcoin (Petro dollars backed by Bitcoin). In Chapter 8, I discuss how Bitcoin will revolutionize housing. Everybody will get comfortable renting. Afterall, hunter gatherers never considered themselves permanent residents of any place. In Chapter 9, I discuss Waffen Buffet’s corporate strategy (investing in good companies) as applied to Bitcoin. In Chapter 10, I discuss what will happen to altcoins after Bitcoin’s supply shock finally reaches them. They'll all become Bitcoin FinTechs of sorts. In Chapter 11, I branch into a unique, grey area : Quantum Computers at the service of Bitcoin (Even when they can destroy it). In Chapter 12, I revisit Hodling while seeing possibilities of it splitting Bitcoin (like stocks of one company) into "flavours" - European Bitcoin, Asian Bitcoin, African Bitcoin, etc. While it will still be one Bitcoin, culture(s) will have swallowed it. I'll also discuss the pros and cons.
