The final word on money is what this last chapter about money feels like. I know I am not the only opinion maker about money that matters but I feel pretty powerful with this pen in my hand. I will get to it before my ink runs dry.
Bitcoin is changing the way people think about money/Sub-Val. The world in ten years will be dramatically different than it is today. The world of money/currency will look and feel so different than it is today that we will laugh at how early it was back in 2025. We are in the 5th epoch of Bitcoin. That means that the mining subsidy has halved 4 times to 3.125 every ten minutes. This will be cut in half twice by then and will be less than a full Bitcoin. The subsidy for a block will be 0.78125. That is 78,125,000 Sats. This will be called the 7th epoch. The next halving will be on its way in roughly one year or so and after that one we will be in the eighth epoch and the block subsidy will be 0.390625 Bitcoin. That’s 39,062,500 Sats per subsidy. The dollar will be 10 years of inflation less valuable. Think of losing 2%-10% of your money in an investment that your good friend told you about. He said it was a sure thing. You…

…would never invest in anything that you knew was going to lose you 2% guaranteed and maybe even more. Yet, that is what we do when we see or view the money through the lens of the U.S. dollar. Start to see the world of money through a new paradigm.
Do not let the men and women of the legacy system suck your time and energy in abstract form right from under your nose. You owe it to your self to error-correct. Read the books. Listen to the podcasts. Watch the videos. Do whatever it takes to wrap your brain around the concept of Bitcoin. Your family will thank you. Times are only going to get crazier as we move forward in this crumbling “fiat world.” Bitcoiners are going to benefit from the falling prices as the normies complain about everything getting more expensive. Be on the right side of this monumental shift. The shift is happening now, but in ten years it will be a faster moving train with no brakes. This is an idea whose time has come. The money was broken. Satoshi Nakamoto helped create a new system to replace the crumbling infrastructure that fiat currencies are.
The thankful thoughts come rushing to my head when I see the next 20 years ahead. We are no longer forced to save…

…in money that does not hold its value. We have a hard currency. :)
The nation state that survives this currency transition will be one that the people voluntarily choose. My belief is that taxes will become voluntary and the people that serve the public will actually be liked. I don’t know how far away that is, but it will be a much better system. Right now they have us financing our own tyranny. A lot of agencies will be dissolved. That will be a good thing.
Money is an important aspect of each and every person’s life whether you want to believe that or not. You ought to at least spend as much time educating yourself about it as you do entertaining yourself. Life is short. It can be enjoyed on a higher level by understanding how money works. The words on these pages may not motivate you to study money, but the years of having your dollars debased ought to trigger you. That should motivate you. Get angry if you have to. Whatever it takes to get you to pay attention. The love of your family and the future generations ought to be enough motivation. It was for me. Bitcoin is the best currency we have right now, don’t be the last one to figure that out. :)
