“What man really fears is not so much extinction, but extinction with insignificance.” - psychologist Ernest Becker
Becker: Man is driven by an essential dualism.

He needs both to be a part of something and to stick out. He needs at one and the same time to be a confirming member of a winning team and to be a star in his own right.
The problem in America is that our fascination with the tools of management obscures our apparent ignorance of the art.

Today we are launching a new experiment,

Every book has an audio book.

Now every public filing will have an audio filing.

Save time and start learning while you’re on the move. Listen instead of reading.

Listen: investoraudio.io
I’ve partnered with @IgliLaci to launch Investor Audio.

We are launching with 50+ recordings that you can start with today.

We will be adding thousands more in the coming weeks and months.

Start listening: investoraudio.io
The goal is to convert the thousands of public filings into audio filings.

People want to listen more and more. Subscribe here:

The faster we move away from random strings of letters and numbers as the default for wallet addresses, the faster we will reach true mass adoption.
Humans are error prone, which is exasperated by having wallet addresses that are difficult for humans to comprehend, share, and remember.

This isn't the first time that we have seen this problem in history.
Historical timeline to know:

1969: ARPANET processes first message
1971: Email created
1983: DNS created
1984: .com domains + 5 others available
1986: Domain registration becomes public

It took almost 20 years from the first message on ARPANET to public domain registration.

There are now 9.3 million bitcoin addresses with a balance of 0.01 bitcoin or more.

This is a new all-time high.

Bitcoin becomes more decentralized as individuals continue to stack sats. Image
The number of bitcoin addresses with a balance of 10,000 bitcoin or more peaked in October of 2018.

Bitcoin's price was ~ $6,500 and we were about to get the final puke down in price of the 2018 bear market.

The downward trend has continued since then. Image
The number of bitcoin addresses with a balance of 100 bitcoin or more peaked in February 2017, which was before the craziness of the 2017 bull market.

Today we have approximately 2,000 less bitcoin addresses with 100 bitcoin or more in their balance, compared to Feb '17. Image

We are watching the automation and democratization of everything happen in real time.

People throw around fancy terms, but it is really simple.

Automation and democratization 👇🏼
Bitcoin is a digital store of value.

Monetary policy is driven by an automated central bank that operates with transparent mandate & is highly predictable.

Anyone in the world can buy, sell, hold, or transact with the asset. No permission needed.

Automation & democratization.
Smart contracts are simply automated code.

An "if, then" statement can change the world. No more middle men. No more rent seekers. Code replaces the parasites.

Anyone can write the code. Anyone can use the code.

Automation & democratization.

We are all underestimating how big this is going to be.
Literally every model will be broken.
The TAM, the GDP, the market caps, the returns.

Everything is going to be SO. MUCH. BIGGER.
