    Great video, I need some help understanding. I often hear people say Bitcoin is not inflationary but I am not clear what that means. Bitcoins price has been going up since it was born, isn't that inflationary or are they talking about the 21M cap only. If the price of Bitcoin is going up as we all think it will, how to I explain to my friendly skeptics that it is not inflationary? SALT Talks are fantastic!

      @Tonysmithmusic 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      the US dollar has lost 98% of its value since its inception in 1930s, due to money printing and increasing the supply massively. bitcoin on the other hand has a fixed supply of 21 million, 900 bitcoin per day produced, this is halved every four years, most of the bitcoin that will ever exist will have been mined in the next 10 years, with a very long tail ending in 140 years. so rather than increasing supply, bitcoin decreases supply over time so it goes up in value, not down. this is even better than gold imo, although gold is scarce, it’s not limited, you can always find more gold potentially. hope this helps.

    No government is ever going to give up money creation. It is really irrelevant how hard it is to create a Bitcoins with respective to it ever being a reserve currency. With regards to international settlements the worlds central bank are never going to give up control to a system that has most of its hashing in China,. around 70%. And why pay the early adopters of Bitcoin for an international settlement system when a cartel of central bank can build there own. Bitcoin is just code and a network.

      I'd say it's not that it's not a good use of energy, it's just whether it's the most efficient means of securing a distributed ledger we can come up with. Proof of Work was the first iteration Bitcoin invented, it's a little close minded to think it will be the best given human ingenuity. Proof of Stake looks to be the next best innovation, time will tell. Hard core Bitcoiners seem to dismiss any other innovation in this space that's not part of Bitcoin, which doesn't seem to come from an objective viewpoint. That's not to say Bitcoin won't fulfil it's potential, just that it will probably be a significant piece of a larger digital asset ecosystem.
