monetized value
value has been residing in the analog world since value existed. since the historical process of digitization started in the 20th century it was only information that got digitized. which already changed the world, changed our everyday lives and our lives as a whole. everything that got digitized transformed into something that could be utilized orders of magnitude better compared to its analog state. the velocity of digital information dwarfs anything analog. digitization today is the equivalent of industrialization of the 19th century, a true world changer.
I am not saying that digital stuff wasn't valuable or valued before 2009. software vendors had and have ways sell digital products for money, that is not the point. any transformation of value itself to the digital realm can only happen through a vehicle that possess digital scarcity and bitcoin is the only digital scarce asset known so far. with the invention of digital scarcity in 2009 it is now possible for value itself to migrate into the digital world.
monetary value is just information. no one knows today how much of the analog monetary value will end up getting digitized. how much analog information is moving around today? how much went digital?
there is trillions and trillions of analog monetary value. there are only 21 million digitally scarce bitcoin. this will be fun to watch unfold as a hodler of bitcoin.
