For anyone who has shown even a fleeting interest in Bitcoin, and even for those who have completely written it off as a scam or something not worth paying attention to, I invite you to join me on this series of short articles delving into this asset, its potential, how it could reshape the world, and why everyone should, at the very least, conduct some research into it to understand the financial environment we are currently in.
I want to be upfront with you right away; I am biased toward this asset because I have been reading and listening to any information I can get my hands on for the past five years. Some of my convictions about this asset differ from others due to the time I have spent studying it. This asset can be somewhat daunting to understand as it has many facets, and frankly, the world has never seen an asset like this in human history. I am not trying to convince you to buy Bitcoin. My goal is to pique your interest enough to explore this asset. If you were to simply buy it with no knowledge or interest in it, the chances of you holding onto the asset long enough for it to be effective for you and your portfolio are slim because of the volatility. But once you have studied it, experimented with it, and know that if you buy, you are buying for the long term, I believe you will be more at peace with your investment and see its true world-changing potential.
A man named Jason Maier recently released a new book on this asset called “The Progressive Case for Bitcoin.” At the very end of the book, he stated that he believes no one who has ever studied Bitcoin for 100 hours has ever walked away thinking it was a bad investment. I tend to believe this statement and want to attempt to prove it to you in these articles.
Before we dive into the rabbit hole of Bitcoin, we need to first understand the global monetary network and the inherent problems it has created in society. Once we comprehend these issues on a deeper level, the invention of Bitcoin will make much more sense. This is where we will begin our journey.
