Then I asked my self: What if one day, the world wakes up and Bitcoin is not just an asset anymore but the global reserve currency?
Not just some side thing to hold, but the real deal, the main way countries keep their value, pay off debts, and even do business with each other.
Imagine oil priced in sats lol. Like for real, the oil that is been priced in dollars forever suddenly has a new way. You see world leaders shaking hands, making deals, and maybe instead of saying dollars or euros, they say Bitcoin... We want 15 million barrels, pay us in Bitcoin.. Just like that..
Imagine global trade settled in BTC.
Not just tech guys or bitcoin guys. I mean governments, big banks moving huge amounts of money across borders without waiting days or messing with confusing exchange rates. It is fast, clean and straight up. BTC from one safe wallet to another. Whole countries doing business with just a number and trust in a system no one controls alone.
Also imagine central banks stacking sats instead of bars. lol
Yeah, those giant gold vaults we see in movies.. I am sure they are still there, but what if they don’t hold the real power anymore. The real treasure will lives on hard drives, in cold storage, locked with keys no one just walks in and steals. what if central banks quietly drops gold, making space for Bitcoin in their reserves, maybe even ditching gold completely.
In that kind of world… what happens to gold?
Fr. What will happen to that shiny rock we dug up for thousands of years, fought wars over, passed down as family treasure, locked away for safety? will it just sit there? will it still mean the same?
