1/ Working on my next piece. Went full on "don't trust, verify" by calculating the projected bitcoin supply myself - here are some things my end-of-year drunken self found interesting:
2/ Bitcoin will catch up to the stock-to-flow ratio of gold after the next halving, some time in 2020. @saifedean pointed this out in The Bitcoin Standard iirc, but seeing it in my own calculations was cool.
3/ Bitcoin will be exponential "harder" than gold after that, being twice as hard after the next doubling. Exponentials are insane, as always. In the year 2050 (approx) Bitcoin will be 125x as hard as gold. After that it will get infinitely hard quickly 🍆

Spending #Bitcoin today is senseless. But if we manage to make it a good store of value, then it will naturally be used as a medium of exchange in the future.

Thread 👇
1/ Instead of focusing on the act of "spending", we need people want to "earn BTC", to "be paid in BTC". We need more hodlers.

The economic and technical consequences of stressing one viewpoint (to spend) over the other (to earn) are profound and irreconcilable.
2/ Money's essence is being used as a medium of exchange (MoE). But for something to become money, or a universally accepted MoE, it must first follow evolutionary stages. First, comes store of value (SoV), second, MoE, and third, unit of account (UoA).

Majority of the time an index fund of *all* #cryptoassets produces better risk-adjusted returns than solely holding #bitcoin. medium.com/@xoelop/what-y… analysis via @xoelipedes
Somewhat obvious when you consider the effects of diversification & the moonshots this #crypto index includes, but good to see the concepts backed by data.
Given some of the concerns raised re: using all 1600+ #cryptoassets on @CoinMarketCap, would be good to see the same analysis for top 10/25/100, rebalanced annually + tax consideration.
