Bitcoin Is the Biggest Big Short - 0 views

John Kiff on 21 Nov 20Bitcoin's core value lies in its decentralized governance design being divorced from the political system, a feature no other asset of its size and liquidity can claim, perhaps with the exception of gold. If people lose confidence in their government's capacity to sustain the trusted, social covenant on which fiat money is founded, the value of that money collapses, resulting in hyperinflation. Because of its depoliticized status, bitcoin gains in value in that environment. So if you're long bitcoin, you are positioned to benefit if the system of governance on which the entire world depends for security and well-being collapses.
